Leftists' agenda

[Father Heathen]

Is that for your breakfast?
You Americans and your tastes......... Yuck!

I guess Italian identity really is vanishing as OP feared. Here we have their cuisine being mistaken as American.
...and Brits eat pasta for breakfast? Interesting.

 

[oldbadger]

Openly, though? They sent people to death camps for being homosexual.

I mentioned that (alongside E.Europeans, Blacks, JWs, Masons, and more) in a thread about 'neighbourhood Jews' or similar, and got accused of being an anti-Semite.

 

[Father Heathen]

There are gay people in her party.
btw I don't identify with a left-wing that ridicules us with the acronym LGBTQAIPSBNHCOD

So a handful of people propose some new, silly acronym, and it's causing you to flip your **** and dismiss an entire corner of the political spectrum?

Mama mia...

 

[Anthem]

Seems that way. All I did was Google her and look at her Wiki page and a few articles.

You were so brave.

 

[Anthem]

Sure, you can be a right-wing homosexual, but it's still stupid to support those who despite you and would deny you rights, liberty, equality.

I'd like to meet one, but I'm afraid none exist.

Pasta for breakfast? What!!!!!
Eggs, Bacon, Chips, Tomatoes, Two-Fried-slices, black-puddin', and a mug o' tea.
English Breakfast at Sunshine Cafe. (That's a Caif, not a Cahfey.)

Warmth of a cold window?
Sick to one's stomach?
Ain't this fun?

I was tempted to reply in Kentish Badger.....

btw...that's Romanesque...u won't find romanesque translators

No right wing homosexuals? There are three or so here on RF.

I noticed it didn't look quite like Italian.

You were the one who suggested it?

(That's a Caif, not a Cahfey.)

It's a French word, so we use the French pronunciation. We try to avoid the British habit of bastardizing languages.

I'm bisexual and identify as a conservative. Moderate right-wing. I'm not a neo-Fascist, although some of it has interesting ideas (or did, anyway) but that's a lost cause.

Spaghetti carbonara is one of my favorite breakfasts!

The left is not out to destroy identities, in fact, we're criticized for "celebrating diversity." Nor are we conflating social roles with 'identities'. What has us worried is the atavistic tribalism the speaker seems to covet; her fear of the multiculturalism that we must learn to deal with in a modern, civilized world.

Identity politics has a bad record: Fascism, Christian identity, the KKK, even soccer hooliganism -- all are manifestations of tribal 'identity'.

Understand that humans are psychologically wired for tribalism. For millions of years tribal cohesion and competition with neighboring hunter-gatherers was the only way to survive. Only recently has this trait become untenable and toxic. -- yet we still crave it -- some more than others. As Johnathan Haidt says: "our 'righteous minds' are designed, by evolution, to unite us into teams, and to divide us against other teams..."

When I hear a statement like "Identity is the greatest value we have" I hear Volkskörper speeches in Berlin and see tiki-torch parades through Charlottesville.

Radical chic leftists' agenda explained in 2 minutes or less.

Why do you get so wound up about Soros; but are not concerned about Murdoch, The Kochs, The Mercers, etc.?

There is no moderate right wing these days. Not in the media anyway.

 

[Valjean]

There is no moderate right wing these days. Not in the media anyway.

Nor is there any "radical left." Today's "left" makes Eisenhower, Reagan or Nixon look like radical commies.

Her speech was given in the context of her new political alliance with Steve Bannon, who spoke (before she did) about EU economics, Brexit...etc.
So it was about economics...not culture. The only way to demolish the mono-class societies of socialist Europe is to create a unruly society without values, without certainties where big capitalists can manipulate the markets

I died laughing...because said by a boorish woman of Roman borgata, that sounds even funnier

 

[Sunstone]

The left is so into capitalism nowadays...at least they are if you listen to Italian neo-fascists.

When I see a right-wing homosexual, I find it interesting and endearing. It's just not expected. ( But fascism is definitely too far to the right.)

In Britain right wing homosexuals are common enough.
And it seems fascism (or a facsimile in action if not in name) is on the rise.
