  • Speaker: Fleeing Syria for the…,

    Always feel compassion for the situations people find themselves in and how they cope.
    Documentary maker Adam Curtis in his latest offering Hypernormalisation(can be found easily on youtube) gives some background to Syria. The Assad dynasty doesnt come out of it well. I wonder how global now such stories of displacement and exploitation are ... is it getting better or worse.
    Not that that matters much to those who find themselves in these situations.

  • Hard News: The Greens' pretty good new…, in reply to Dennis Frank,

    Mostly it seemed generational – those born in the forties who created the avante garde, and those born in the fifties who just followed the trend without comprehension

    your stretching there methinks. Decade of birth has nothing to do with it. And as much as i do admire the Prince of Pot for his views and wished it could work here, we have a culture heavily invested in alcohol, and should be doing something about that.

    the younger crowd were into the cocktail effect.

    Young people can be so foolish sometimes cant they
    tongue/cheek

    I just made that up so it has no legs. But you’d have to be drunk and wearing your best beer goggles to see any legacy this very junior partner in Cocksplat, Fucktrumpet and Numpty who claims he was a Prime Minister at some stage in his career and left something behind, even he isnt sure what.
    SHIT WEASEL WHITE AF lives in an echo chamber where Lying is a planet in ultra fast orbit and Truth is well and truly asleep or in the restroom with constipation.
    And what do opinion writers at the Herald do? Well besides well practiced kiss up kick down knee jerk writing and sycophantic nonsense riddled with confirmation bias. They puff themselves up a disapproving wind, on a smile of the Labour party leader and display wide eyed wonder at the Dipton Dribbler who done good.
    A person of so limited a vocabulary that he drops the register of his voice an octave or two to make his vocal dribbling take on an air of authority.
    So as perchance…one last insult… to us… 2016 bequeaths us…him and his recycled(if only we could) cohort of Joycean squislings.
    Its not the left that has lost its way, its humanity.
    now wheres my dong..SHITGIBBONS the lot of ’em.

    2016 WAS SUCH AN ANGRY YEAR.
    And it aint gunna get better soon.
    Think I’ll be a hippie from now on.
    Who needs a house? not me I’m free as a mole, burrowing down
    I’ll reach those miners myself.

    expressed similar views.

    Their world view was very different. If they even had one in a global sense.

    retired

    Would if i could. This is not a society many thought the young would inherit. navel gazing is pointless at this stage. It went horribly wrong in the 80's And the loud voices took control, and resurrected a hollowed out morality to browbeat their more introspect peers and force a competitive society onto us. It was a bad direction even back then.
    But if your pockets are being filled conscience becomes secondary it seems. And now fake everything, spin prevails. Will it be kept up till extinction. I can only hope, no.

    aliens

    I had my tongue firmly in my cheek then.

    Selfishness seems to have become amplified by capitalist marketing

    And, that now totally debased thing called, new age.
    FFS corporations and politicians do "self-improvement" workshops now and foist the drivel, they found sooooo involving on their company weekend away, onto employees.
    Jeez Social Welfare, or whatever they call themselves now, do it in workshops for the unemployed. All it amounts to is guilt tripping everyone. And all "jobseekers" to forced to attend now

    everyone is into their own thing

    Sorry but that cant include your employment, what you do to earn a crust.
    there will always be a bigger community....out there somewhere
