Had it not been for selfless white old men in the UK my family would never have existed.
- Left wing press and some associated with government try to use the Jo Cox murder to push for an EU remain vote and paint those who wanted to leave the EU as fascist Nazis who were responsible for her death.
- Call for political assassinations, mostly of Trump (including a Guardian journalist who wrote this). I think Trump's life is in far more danger than Obama's. I don't want to see anything bad happen to politicians from any side.
- Ganging up of liberals with @jack of Twitter (backed by Saudi money) to get many prominent right wing voices banned on that social media platform which has led to the setup of gab.ai. This happened whilst Twitter never took a stance against obvious bullies such as the sick one who annoyed Patti Russo for months. (I filed numerous Twitter complaints, no action was taken mostly).
- It appears now socially acceptable to write things such as "Goodmorning everyone (except all the white people)" on places such as Twitter. I doubt such voices are from those who would vote republican / conservative or UKIP.
- Been myself and those I agree with called a racist countless of times when those with other views lose the argument on rationality and facts. I think the term snowflake originally was much less bad than "racist". But to be honest all labels are now losing their worth since they are being used so frequently for very modest opposing views. Someone concerned about immigration is not a racist. In fact I would argue many who support limitless Eastern European immigration into the UK (mostly same race as white Brits) support racism through that policy since there is undoubtedly less opportunity for people from commonwealth (including other races) countries (see UK minimum earnings rules imposed on none EU immigrants recently). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that someone who can speak and write our native language will fair better here quicker regardless of race. Does it make me a languistist? (is there such a thing?) I don't give a crap!
Even here on MLUKFC I've seen hardly anyone speak out against the anti Trump camp even though I have received several messages from individuals saying they (quietly) agree with me or certain aspects of my arguments.
In other words some seem to be afraid to write what they really feel on this board in case of backlash. I have no problem defending my case against 4, 5 or 50 of those who think otherwise on here. Do I think it is a proper reflection of the voting public what is posted on here and in particular this thread? No.
Left tolerant? Nah...
And if you are a 100% liberal and happy about that, before you click dislike on this post consider this video of what liberal virtue signalling sometimes actually means... yes it means you could be the racist whether intentionally or not:

Excellent post. Yes there are few of us willing to defend Trump openly but I don't care either. One post said Trump did not win any majority and called for facts, I posted the actual map with the majority of states red for Trump and got a dislike LOL.
I am on other forums that make this look like a Sunday School picnic. I'd rather not have that political stuff in the Meat Loaf section of this forum. At least move it to where those of us who don't want it here won't have to read it mixed in with other topics.
I wonder if Meat would want this to devolve into politics? There are thousands of boards and reddits for politics.
