- Molly1416 April 2020 at 12:07 pmFollowing a train of thought after taking time to converse with Gosman, I was reminded of an article I read fairly recently: Why We Need to Move Closer to King's Understanding of Nonviolence on Films For Action, written by Kazu Haga.Similar to Gosman's decided use of the term – harmless – it highlights flawed understanding of the terms non-violence and peace. It demonstrates how those terms are often used to silence or reprimand those who engage in activism.

16 April 2020 at 1:16 pmMolly, you are a serious and respectful commentator. Gosman is the very opposite. You should not waste your time on him. His record here is a disgrace.https://morrisseybreen.blogspot.com/2019/01/namsog-ran-wild-on-standard-yesterday.html[Here on TS we encourage robust debate, which means that we give people an opportunity to voice their opinions on issues that are of interest them and others. Gosman usually presents a rather unique view but one that is worth presenting here on TS. As long as he stays within the rather lenient rules of this site, he’s free to comment.You, on the other hand, disagree with his opinions and you fob him off without addressing his comments. This is your prerogative but suggesting that others should too crosses the line of encouraging robust debate and strays into territory preserved for Moderators only.People can read and think form themselves and they don’t need your ‘help’ to form an opinion on Gosman’s comments rather than on the commenter, whom they won’t know from a bar of soap.IMO, you’re an arrogant twat who indulges in link-whoring to his own blog. You have no right to tell others what to think about another commenter unless you address their content and then only the content is up for debate. You can say what you think about the commenter, to a point, but you have to have good reason to stick personal labels on them and an even better reason to tell others to keep a wide berth.You can spend a week in the sin-bin – Incognito]Incognito14.1.1

16 April 2020 at 12:28 pmBernie went full arsehole, and joined in blaming the voters, before they even vote for not liking biden.Establishment pukes and left liberals hate it when anyone questions there shitfuckery (global economic meltdown anyone) – and if your not towing the 'party' line your the enemy.This is why the left won't win, the centre left is a bunch of drop kicks who never compromise.When we get four more years of trump, are we going to get another 3 years of fubar conspiracy theories from these same pukes? I'd say yeah, they can't take responsibility for anything.Andre15.1
16 April 2020 at 1:15 pmI'm not sure whether you're going through the stages of grief, or just angry lashing out at those most likely to achieve some actual movement towards your claimed political goals is your default setting.https://www.helpguide.org/articles/grief/coping-with-grief-and-loss.htmbill15.1.1
16 April 2020 at 1:37 pmBiden has rape allegations sitting against him atm. Trump "grabs pussy".Biden has an F minus rating from various orgs on climate change. Trump isn't any better.Biden is nonchalantly corrupt. Trump is nonchalantly corrupt.Biden will lower Medicare to 60 (Clinton would have lowered the age to 50), and he'd veto medicare for all. Trump has rolled out free health care for Covid 19.Biden still openly supports free trade. Trump doesn't.Biden was VP when more people were deported than during any other term. Trump may have claimed that honour now (I don't know).Biden still believes in foreign military intervention. Trump less so (but is a hypocrite).Biden would be the natural extension of a party that has given Trump everything he has asked for (and more!) in terms of voting in his favour on important issues.(eg – military budgets, sanctions, war)And at the end of the day (though he's probably dead meat) Biden would take the US back to the Obama years that proved to be the launchpad for Trump.

16 April 2020 at 12:57 pmfunnily enough the don't vote crowd often likewise hate it when their own politics are called out.I can't find the bit about Sanders in the vid, a time stamp would help.Alice Tectonite16.1
16 April 2020 at 1:10 pmBut at least they get to remain pure and to blame everyone else, rather than voting for the somewhat less shit option (which might actually make a difference)- 16 April 2020 at 1:48 pmIn terms of the US election, the Democratic Party has only campaigned to preserve corporate dominance. They've no real interest in defeating Trump – it doesn't matter to them. That's why they and their propaganda arms (Washington Post, NYT, MSNBC, CNN…) pushed an empty vessel who can't complete sentences or hold a train of thought.They've won. Why pretend there's anything still in play?edit – 4:22 is probably the time stamp you want.

16 April 2020 at 2:11 pmThe proposed measures for level 3 when it comes to ECE centres and school opening for under year 10 the government are encouraging children to stay at home. I think the government need to rethink opening ECE centres due to the high level of contact. I assume that ECE includes daycare for under age 3. When it comes to children under age 5 and toddlers/babies, being unwell in this age group can be missed and put down to being tired or how unwell they are, being under estimated.I do realise that parents/caregivers need care for their child/children and that making alternative arrangements are difficult. More work needs to be done in this area.
