The Western Nations need to reinvent themselves and regain their self-respect.
Why is it, in the west acceptable to publicly wear a Maoist tee-shirt but, for instance, unacceptable, if not downright dangerous to wear a Donald Trump hat?
Mao Zedong's 'Great Leap Forward' which lasted from 1958 to 1962 cost the lives of 45 million Chinese people.
Mao was the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century, including Hitler and Stalin, yet the liberal lefties stomp through our towns and cities proudly emblazoned in their mass murderer Maoist tee shirts with complete immunity.
Wear a pro President Trump illustrated garment in public in America and you'll probably be refused service in many establishments at best, or beaten up by the lonny leftist thugs.
There is something terribly wrong with the way western society has been let drift.
Protesting and fighting against those who support a totalitarian regime …. to regain their self respect … is what those anti-Trump people are doing! A Trump hat may be a "Freedom of Speech" item …. as was a swastika in Germany! We don't need to "reinvent the U.S." we need to SAVE it from the white supremacists who call themselves "conservatives" today! There is nothing "conservative" about them …. other than being conservative with things that protect "the people", "the Earth", fresh water and air and the "freedom of speech" against what our relatives fled Europe to get away from! CONTROL … by the CHURCH and the "KING"! Our "SELF RESPECT" is showing, around the world as CONSIDERABLY LESS than it was 4 years ago! The "Brown Shirts" were defeated, the "Red Hats" NEED to be … to "regain our self respect"! :-)
Hi Alf, I'm advocating freedom of political, religious and gender expression for everyone.
Whether you or I, or anyone else likes it Donald Trump was voted into office by America's democratic process.
Democracy must be respected and PRESIDENT Trump should be extended the regard his office requires.
The lefties have rejected democracy through their violent opposition to anyone demonstratively supporting the duly elected President and savagely attack any individual or group that expresses their right wing political ideology.
This behaviour is significantly more akin to the Nazi tactics of silencing political opposition than anything carried out by the supporters of Donald Trump.
Pay some attention to what's happening in Hong Kong and the Xinjiang re-education camps!!!, or brain washing facilities to you and I.
Donald Trump was elected to office by the manipulation of districts with the intent of controlling the Electoral College, NOT really, the democratic process. He was soundly REJECTED BY 3,000,000 American voters, over and above those who voted FOR "it"! IF the U.S. gets the chance to see that this doesn't happen again we can get back to that "democratic process".
I cannot "respect" a leader who masquerades AS a President and follows ONLY the democratic processes that suit HIM at any given moment! The brown shirts that symbolized radicals supporting Hitler are little different to the red hats that symbolize support for THIS would-be dictator who supports our biggest (at the moment) enemy OF "democratic process", Putin! (While denigrating any ally who cautions against, or rejects, his policies). I've lived under 13 Presidents and this one is the only one I didn't have SOME respect for. He's NOT brainwashing ME, nor is anyone else. All politicians MAKE mistakes, this one IS a mistake, respectfully speaking! ;-)
The practice of Gerrymandering has long since been eliminated in those countries where it existed.
This tampering with electoral boundaries is a political construct which could have been engaged by any party, so to try to attribute its use to one faction is disingenuous.
Democrat when your Hillary was defeated the first thing you fools scream is eliminate the Electoral College. Dummy do you know when you eliminate the Electoral College then you have voter suppression that you idiots cry about. Do you know anything other than the daily narrative fed to you by Democrats.
For too long the loony leftists have been permitted to promote their doctrine of hate and anarchy without any serious challenge.
They deny freedom of expression of any political belief which is incompatible with their extreme left wing views with violent demonstrations and destruction of property.
The universities of the west have been appropriated by Marxist/Leninist/Maoist subversives who openly deny platform to any moderate proponent of right wing political ideology.
You are saying the far left shouldn't be allowed to even express their views, while whining that the left won't let you express your views. That's pretty stupid.
Only the twisted mind of a regular loony leftist could feign such an interpretation from my clear message of ''freedom of political expression for all'' and expect to get away with it.
The thrust of my thread is clearly that everyone should have the freedom and access to the means to publicly express their political views.
The loony lefties 'deny platform' to all political leanings which do not further their own outdated and redundant ideology.
As much as I am NOT a Trump supporter, I disagree with people being attacked simply because they wear a Trump hat. They have every right to express themselves and have their own political opinion and the fact that people would resort to violence because someone else is wearing something to support...what is admittedly a very polarizing President.... is not in the spirit of what this country should be.
That being said, someone wearing the swastika...well, I think I'm more inclined to worry that the fanaticism of people may act violently before checking to see if someone is wearing it as a symbol of white power or if someone is wearing it as a religious icon created before it was bastardized by the Nazi's.
Highly likely the chances are slim. However there have been talks of people trying to reclaim that symbol for what it was meant for. My worry would be people wearing it as a way to do so and others not taking the time to make sure.

I can accept that, given that wearing such attire is the opposite of what modern fascists would be likely to do. They tend to spend most of their time trying to convince people they aren't actually fascists, so a swastika would kind of give the ruse away a little.
The methed out, depraved radicals of the left have been doing their level best to silence anyone promoting sanity, freedom and meritocracy and I think it is time they had a taste of their own medicine. It is in no way contrary to freedom of speech to de-platform the act of de-platforming itself, or to silence the voice that screeches incessantly over everyone else's just to drown out opinions it doesn't want to hear.

As per usual, whatever the truth happens to be, you turn it upside down and then try to sell it back to the public. It is just so far beyond laughable that you would try to convince anybody the far right is about "freedom". Why don't you try telling that to the Auschwitz survivors you thoroughly corrupt little establishment toad?
The great evil of extreme left wing socialism needs to be confronted and exposed for the 5th columnists they are and the high risk they pose to the freedoms of our democratic way of life.
These left wing subversives started infesting our universities as far back as the 1960s and have now achieved total dominance over the political affiliations of their lecturers and the content of their tutorials.
Time to get organized and start the long fight to get our country back

Don't you ever shut up you boring, corrupt shill? Your corporate fascist ideology killed 70 million people and it was the "extreme left wing socialists" who stepped up and put a fucking end to you.
You are 100% correct. The Left is made up of control freaks who actually believe they have the right to force their ideology on the world.
Their hypocrisy and double standards are clinically off the charts. They preach tolerance towards Islamic intolerance, while showing their rabid intolerance towards peaceful Christian beliefs, towards Conservative ideals, towards capitalism, and towards America's duly elected President Trump.
Trump is like a miracle who came along just at a time when these Leftists were forcing their intolerant ideology on the world. He is a game changer and the very reason Socialist Leftists hate him.
He is showing the Republican Party and the world that it is OK to go against this Big Brother's Political correct fanaticism. He is bringing respect back to the lovers of freedom around the world.
One of the standard left wing tactics being demonstrated here with them denying you equal platform by down voting your opinion into oblivion with their army of alts.
This is a classic example of left wing intolerance and contrivance.
Hi Nom/Schizo., When your argument fails, like all benighted festering shit-bags you to revert to the gutter from whence you came with your usual daily delivery of profanities.
My comments were addressed to FW but as usual you butted your enormous pig-like snout and foul mouth into a post which had nothing to do with you.
Along with the rest of your alts you are stark ravening mad and obsessed with what appears to be the ghosts of previous participants.
According to you and your alts I am, Bronto, High Falutin, Antrim, Jody, Cocopops,Chinaman Dermot and a few others I can't recall.
Including myself that makes eight plus the others.
Do try hard to wise up, grow up and shut up.
I must be making an enormous impact on this site as so many people think I represent half of it's members
I'd explain to you again that you are confusing "Nom" with other members who are much less intelligent, but at this point I think it is perfectly obvious that you are making this error on purpose. It must be easier to simply pretend that everybody who ever points out that you're an annoying Nazi throwback from the 1930s is the same person, but it also illustrates precisely what a lying, delusional cockroach you are.
There is no shame in banning fools. Fools deserve to be banned because they have no desire to actually debate. They want to spread their hate towards anyone who disagrees with them.
Keeping our debates free from vulgar hatred is the only intelligent thing a person can do. Why allow the haters to destroy good people's debates?
Let them spew there hate on their own debates. No one is stopping them from creating any debate they want. But this is not what they want. They want to demonize the good in this world.
He's plain old-fashioned mad. When his views don't stack up to scrutiny he attacks/blames whoever points it out. I've lost count of the amount of times I've disproved stuff he's written, only to find him repeating the exact same crap mere hours later. Homosexual activity in animals is a good example, but there are many others.
I gave you a chance and took you off my ban list. The next thing I see is you once again siding with the vulgar hatefull bigots on this site, calling me a liar!
I asked you where I lied about abortions and AS USUAL, YOU GAVE ME NOTHING!
