Opinion INTERNATIONAL Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

[Slippery Pete]

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Why you still here then bro?

Because I like discussing politics here and will continue to do so. I just didn't enjoy the recent state of the previous thread. Free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences and it doesn't mean people are entitled to dominate the thread by spamming low effort twitter posts.

I know you want to create a narrative about me but I rarely ever report posts, just the overtly racist shit which is likely to get taken down anyway. I don't apologise for that. This isn't 4chan.

OGCommie will like the second one.
Sounds like the Democrat Party.

Can you expand on why? Here Is a definition

Definition of AUTHORITARIAN

of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority; of, relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally responsible to the people… See the full definition

1
: of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority
had authoritarian parents
2
: of, relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally responsible to the people
an authoritarian regime
authoritarian noun

I don't tend to see any parties in the US or Australia as inherently authoritarian.

Perhaps elements of the those parties, as they circle around a leader. To be honest I don't see anyone showing blind submission to Biden/Harris/Shumer or Steve Scalsie or Mitch McConnell in the houses.

Maybe with this "person" gone the USWT can get back to respecting their country, National Anthem and flag. She was cancer in the sport.

The reality is that almost all of us are long-time Adelaide posters who have rough and tumbled on the board for years, almost nobody here is an unknown quantity, the mods have clearly recognized that’s the case and have called “play on.”

I’ll agree that spamming Twitter posts one after the other isn’t the best way to get a point across. One at a time should be the motto.

I suppose you could flesh the authoritarian part out to help - its scary how a lot what an authoritarian regime is all about runs in line with the current US regime

What Is Authoritarian Government?

An authoritarian government is not chosen by the people and has absolute power to govern as it pleases, without consulting the people that they rule.

www.worldatlas.com

• An authoritarian government is a government that holds power and makes policies without the consent of the people that it rules.
• Authoritarian governments often use their power to suppress descent and exert control over the dissemination of information, including mass media.
• Authoritarianism is the oldest type of government in human history.
• Authoritarian governments can come to power through force of arms, as anointed successors to previous authoritarian regimes, or even through democratic means.
• Types of authoritarian governments include absolute monarchy, military dictatorship, and ideologically-based regimes.

That first one is a doosy - the changing of voting laws to subvert state legislatures (see mass mail in ballot harvesting and droboxes and removal of voter ID and signature verification laws) to water them down and then the litigating and trying to jail anyone that challenges the accuracy of the elections

The second one is front and centre right now - there is a congressional investigation into the Biden regimes role of censoring its people via coersion of social media and big tech - watch this space

The 3rd dot point is moot to this discussion

The 4th - stolen elections have consequences as we are seeing right now

The 5th - the current regime is not a military one, nor is it an absolute monarchy but it is absolutely an ideologically drive one - from destroying the family unit to destroying what is a woman to destroying law and order and much much more

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I have no doubt he was like a sloppy drunk on occasions and didn’t follow presidential protocol.

My question is, is he the first guy ever to be sloppy and not follow protocol?

And my second question is: Do you believe not even 1% of all of this effort going into putting him in jail is politically motivated?

Trying to sell this as sloppyness just undermines your previous point about having a balanced take on the guy. The indictment very clearly shows willfull criminal behaviour. You can't just pull out the "he shat himself" defense on this one.

Hi Ms TopG

I've watched the video, did you have any insight to this or were you merely sharing a lady repeating baseless claims that seem to support Trump ?

Did you have anything that actually backs up her statements? I'm sure the board would be appreciative

 

[Crow till I die]

Sometimes even the simple is beyond some - but with the recent contributors it is very much expected

If states have voted on things like day of voting, signature verification, voter ID and all of a sudden months out from a presidential election, these laws are the subject of litigation by a political party to politically friendly judges to circumvent the will of those legislatures elected by the people to engineer an outcome that enhances the ability to engineer an election result, its hardly democracy.

 

[Maddogmetro]

This one probably speaks for itself

Managed a record number of posts without a brainless twitter repost. Of course it is Slippery that breaks the chain.

Enhancing people's ability to vote is completely inconsistent with trying to steal an election. You position is pretty much the more people can vote, your candidate might not win (which he didn't)

Given the majority of evidence of voter fraud, voter suppression and voting manipulation comes from MAGA, I assume you'll have something else than a difficult to read post to back your statements up?

Democracy was dead some time ago.

They‘re going to have to prove it’s wilful.

Look, the resources thrown at investigating this guy since he ran in 2015 are mind-blowing. He’s had almost every one of the three-letter agencies breathing down his neck every single day for eight years.

What do you think you could find if you made every person in Washington a specific target like that?

I’m not saying he’s perfect, I think some of the things he did and said were ridiculous and self-destructive, I’m just stating the bleedingly obvious that he’s a specific political target where others aren’t.

It’s so obvious and it’s almost painful to have to repeat it.

Don’t make me post the tweet of Kamala Harris funding domestic terrorism. I’ve already hit my one tweet limit on this page.

Anyone that goes against the vested interests of the ruling class is a target. That's why RKJnr is so hated. They aren't playing by the rules of the game.

like a 747 flying straight over the head... the first dot point of the Authoritarian regime outlines

• An authoritarian government is a government that holds power and makes policies without the consent of the people that it rules.

The people didn't vote to have voter ID removed, they didn't vote to have signature verification watered down and they certainly didn't vote for mass mail ballot harvesting in unsecured dropboxes...but the regime saw its chance to hit while under the excuse of Covid to run over state elected laws enacted by voters to have their system in play...and you get the 3.12am mass vote dumps, the 'burst water pipes where republican poll watchers were sent home and the vote keeps getting counted, you get hundreds of thousand of signatures that don't match waived through, you get voting machines that can be hacked etc etc etc

But I like this meme as its quite on point

 

[MsTopG]

The elections are fair. There isn't any need for them to not be fair. The problem is the choice we have. Two major parties who are at heart the same. A few minor tweeks around the edges to dull us into a false sense of security that we are deciding a future direction when the reality is we aren't.

he entered and exited, dropped a bad smell of a post in the thread as per usual...

 

[Slippery Pete]

There will be an outbreak of the Gamma BA69 Covid strain three weeks before The Voice and it will be an online referendum, the most secure referendum in our nation’s history.

Right, you have nothing to show anything.

Your evidence of Biden being an authoritarian is he won an election that, excluding MAGA, both parties agreed he won by getting more votes than Trump.

Your support to this by comlaining that the Govt made it easier for people to vote, which you believe goes against their interests because voters didn't vote to have more voting rights.

You do understand the challenging logic of having people vote for more voting rights especially for people who may not vote the same as them, which is essentially your position here.
You didn't want more voting rights for people who you weren't sure would vote for your preferred candidate.

You also rely on unproven events, again ignoring the proven events of voter supression/ fraud by MAGA.

I do agree both parties are a bit so- so

But we still have a pretty solid democracy, albeit limited.

Given we have posters here who feel it unfair that people get the ability to vote via mail.

How do you think we would go in a democracy with online voting in a more real time basis ?

For instance, Govt thinking of opening a new train line, everyone gets to vote over a 5 day period.

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

Just wondering if anyone who thinks the latest Trumo indictment is politically motivated has actually read the full indictment?

I wonder if anyone who thinks it isn't has been asleep for the last 4 years.

haha

its ok - we know you love a good authoritarian regime that jackboots its opponents and crushes the will of the people LEGALLY allowed to vote
