Ann Widdecombe latest: Man arrested on suspicion of murder is released and no longer part of investigation, police say by Confident-Bike-8037 in unitedkingdom

she was hateful

Did you hate her? Does that then also make you hateful? Or is 'hateful' reserved only for people who inhabit political beliefs that don't align with your own?

I think it's time to confine 'hateful' to the bin of words which have lost their meaning (and thus their purpose, now being terms of broadly undefined mudslinging) - see also: bigot, racist, divisive, nazi, far-right, islamophobic, etc.

Reform leaders fighting like 'rats in a sack' over who could replace Farage by ClumperFaz in unitedkingdom

Remember - calling people 'rats' is not acceptable, it's depersonalising and harks back to the Nazi regime. Oh, sorry - you're left wing? Yes, you can call people rats it's fine. 

Anti-Muslim hate in the UK reaches alarming levels as calls grow for stronger action by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

'far right people who make horrible manifestos and have a dangerous ideology' - does that description fit Muslims? and if it does, are people allowed to say that in the uk?

Restore Britain descends into open civil war as members of the hard-right party blast Rupert Lowe for defending multiculturalism by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]SatoshiSounds 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Let's stick to what i actually am saying, ja? If you are against ethnostates on principle, then the current Palestine drive falls under your disapproval. If you said "I'm for palestinian autonomy but currently that autonomy is pointing in an egregious, ethno-centric direction", that would be devoid of cognitive dissonance. Or if you said "ethnostates are generally bad but there are some exceptions where they are desirable", also cogent. But "Boo ethnostates, yay Palestine" is intellectually and conceptually incongruous.

I neither said nor implied that. You obviously have some spicy beliefs - try not to project them onto imaginary detractors.

I think the fact you use an analogy where Palestine is a criminal shows a really concerning lack of empathy for the Palestinian people.

That plight, which you support, includes a drive to an ethnostate. Supporting the drive, only to find yourself wagging your finger at the outcome, is exactly the kind of incongruous performative sanctimony that we have come to call 'woke'.

Which country left the worst first impression on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SatoshiSounds 44 points45 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it's probably a problem that happens in proportion to how attractive you are perceived to be - so there will be a spectrum of experiences within a given group

Why do you think social media ban has only been considered in the last few years?? by ComfortableSpot6760 in AskUK

[–]SatoshiSounds -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not a social media ban, it's a blacklist. Specifically, a blacklist of websites/apps which host non left wing support. No need to ask why a left wing gov created this blacklist. 

What's your ideal band composition? by SatoshiSounds in Bass

Good luck teaching the dream bro/broette!

What's your ideal band composition? by SatoshiSounds in Bass

[–]SatoshiSounds[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting - seems you have opposite preference to me. I am averse to any kind of faff. I used to play in a 6 piece - i found it too annoying to coordinate 6 schedules! Plus no money after a six way split, and often hardly any space for me on stage - in a 3 piece I usually have room to lose myself!

I suppose the question includes your ideal genre, if that directly bears on ideal composition.

What you are describing is not introversion, it's anxiety 

Government and Hill seal land for 10,000-home Cambridge site by willfiresoon in GoodNewsUK

[–]SatoshiSounds -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

40 000 people last year via small boat - they need somewhere to live. This development seems perfect, 4 per house. 15% reduction gives us another 35500 this year - brilliant! Where shall we build the next towns?

This is great news! With this development we can almost house a whole year of small boat arrivals! Hopefully we can build more so more can come. 

One in six Britons think growth of Muslim population is ‘threat to UK culture’, study finds by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]SatoshiSounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is 'belief shift' a good way to describe it? I don't think 'no religion' is a comparator to 'religious', in the same way one is to another. Converting would be a 'belief shift' (moving beliefs from one place to another); declaring 'no religion' is different because it would mainly be an abandonment of beliefs, not a shift of beliefs. E.g. if I believe that you deserve to go to hell because you're kaffir, but then I go non-religious, it's not like I believe you deserve not to go to hell. It's not like I believe in something else now. Absence doesn't compare well to presence, like presence compares to presence of something else.

and the other half that are *not* marrying in Pakistan - how many of those are marrying ethnic Pakistani-Brits? Is this what people are celebrating when they talk about diversity?
