Labour Purge Begins

[pErvinalia]

Another non-sequitur. Are you simply a random sentence generator??

[pErvinalia]

Let me boil it down for you. All you've effectively said in the two threads with all these random sentences is that (to paraphrase): "I'm selfish therefore everyone is selfish". And also: "I love my captors".

[MrJonno]

Everyone = enough people to win an election and be the masters , definitely

[pErvinalia]

So it's not everyone and innate anymore? You better go back and revise your randomly generated posting history.

[MrJonno]

In the end all you are and will ever be is a few numbers on a spreadsheet, when it comes to politics you area a statistic which can be describes with other statistics.
If you win an election you are the truth, if you lose you are nothing and no one. That's the power of generalisation it allows rational discussion instead of being obsessed with individuals

[pErvinalia]

How's it rational to view the world in such a ridiculous black and white caricature? The world isn't black and white. You simply treat it that way as it provides a convenient lie for you to hang your selfishness on.

[pErvinalia]

Corbyn and Sanders et al are shades of gray. Dismissing them as black because they aren't white is woeful reasoning. Same as Seth thinking we are all Marxists because we aren't right libertarians.

I reduce the world to what can be measured, winning elections can be measured, what is 'good' for the country cannot nor can right or wrong

Far from "allowing" rational discussion, false generalisations like your bombastic prattle about election results* are an impediment to rational discussion. While it can take place, those who are attempting it must either completely ignore the addlepated or waste time refuting their gormless pronouncements.

*If "you" are "nothing and no one" you have no hope of ever winning an election. Yet history shows that many times these "nothings" have come back from electoral losses and decisively won subsequent elections.

Your myopia is showing. Well-Being Index

Cue denial, equivocation, and irrelevancy.

Of course it can. This is simplistic thinking, not generalised thinking.

I have this image of them in leathers with whips, and it won't go away now.

Damn you!

[pErvinalia]

In terms of British politicians, at least, that's not a strange vision...

Mostly Tories, though...

[Strontium Dog]

The reshuffle that Corbyn and all his little Corbynite acolytes (including those on less tolerant rationalist forums) have been promising won't happen is currently happening.

Clearly we can't have anyone in the Shadow Cabinet whose opinions differ from those of the Dear Leader.
