Seems to be that we as a people are getting ever more polarised in to 2 camps in the west, of which I think the overwhelming majority on twtd fall in to a number 2, hence the animosity when a number 1 dares pop up.
1/ pro brexit, sympathetic to conservatism and the traditional right,proud of the past, traditional values, nationalists, America (republicanism?), Controlled immigration, Ulster unionism, Euroscepticism, anti globalisation, wary of Islamic culture, pro capitalism (small business), anti big banks, pro self reliance, low taxation, the countryside, Christianity and family values (the nuclear family perhaps), keep cannabis illegal, classify as carnivores, anti burka. Media. - Fox News (US), some, not all, of the printed press (UK), various internet streams, no news channels (UK), key people - Farage, Ben Shapiro (US), Trump, most of Eastern Europe.
2/ against brexit, sympathetic to Labour, European federalism, America (Obama/Clinton), the state and state spending, globalists, ashamed of the past, pro; mass immigration, minority rights, multiculturalism, embrace Islamic culture, globalisation, one world government, alternative lifestyles, single/same sex parents, abortion, and “progressiveness” in the education and the justice systems, would legalise cannabis, admire vegans, pro Burka. Media - The Guardian, the BBC and all of visual news, key people Soros, Merkel, Macron, most of Hollywood.
Corbyn is some kind of hybrid of the two, a good old fashioned borderline communist which some of you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to shoe horn in to being a complete 2/apologising//rationalising his foibles.
P.s The use of number 2 for the “progressives” is entirely coincidental.
Just edited as I initially used “national socialist” incorrectly (nazism). Now removed.

Those buckets are far too specific.
If someone is in either of those buckets they need to look at a wider source of information and form their own opinions instead of being told what to think.

I think it's you that are incredibly binary, hostile and hypocritical to make such a post given how you "pop up" to call people such as myself and others out and then disappear.
The fact you think people fall into such groups is your problem.
For a start you seem to think every is influenced by and consumes the most extreme of American media as well as conflating twitter with real life views and ideas.
The people who get it on here, get it because their views are disliked by someone and the more of that there is, the more dissent they get. If the 1's had a point it'd stand, isn't that how traditional British values work, right? |  |

“wary of Islamic culture”
Let’s be honest, it’s not the culture they are wary of.
Your OP is utter rubbish. I think you’ll find that anybody with a grasp of reality see the polarisation as minority extremes on either side that are louder than the rest of us. |  |

You think the centrist Macron and leader of the centre right Christian Demoncrat leader Angela Merkel fall into the second camp? Is the second camp essentially anyone who doesn't entirely agree with your world view? |  |

Does seem a lot of euphemisms in both of these daft categories. As well as the idea that one side is "proud to be British" and the other isn't, but it's aligned with the most unpatriotic and non-traditional British ideas possible such as social exclusion, racial and cultural division etc.
I do love how there are far right "patriots" doing Nazi salutes again these days and they don't see the disconnect with trying to monopolise views on the military, the flag, the sense of entitlement that spits on the graves of the people they romanticise.

The far right ' patriots who love their country' who do Nazi salutes don't seem to understand that we fought a war against that kind of thing. |  |

"classify as carnivores"
It's well known that traditionally right wing people eat meat and only meat. No omnivores allowed.
Also be amazed if a lot of people on here knew who Ben Shapiro was, let alone listened to him.
Also "pro capitalism (small business)" is pretty funny. That's not how capitalism works. [Post edited 23 Jun 2018 12:12]

i have said this several times on here over the years, and someone ultimately ends up accusing me of trying to show up not one group, but both groups of people. I aint trying to show anyone up, and I wont ever apologise for forming my own opinions, and with that comes the humility to admit when one is wrong- that part i am still working on. |  |
