On this subject, I do. If I insisted I knew more about gash North East guitar music, would you not think it a tad arrogant of me? I’ll never argue with anyone on here about something they clearly know more about. I’d rather try and learn a bit from it.

Your comments on Cherry are hilarious by the way

OK Mason if you could just be a bit more clearer in what you are saying. I honestly didn't understand what you were saying. You mentioned an "Andrew Wakefield" sorry I dont know him in what context is he related to the Gender issue. This is not a criticism but your posts tend to be cryptic if you could just be more lucid. We might make some progress.

Me…..no……speak…….mason

[Mason89]

It’s difficult because the subject itself is total bullsh1t.

[donsdaft]

The whole point of writing is to convey your thoughts to other people when they can't hear you.
Either through time, distance or both.

The problem here is.

" it's a subject I know a fair bit about"
I have no idea what subject you're on about

" brains worm hole"
What the fück?

"Andrew Wakefield"
Who?

Not a good start, perhaps if I ever understood any of your posts we might agree sometimes.

Oh come on DeeDon I never said that. With respect you may be conflating two different issues. I sensed you were being a bit hostile and I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying on two different subjects honestly DD look back my posts I never said that.. If I had that would be daft extremely daft.

Didn't mean to come across as being hostile.

I respect anyone's views on here even if I don't agree with them.

I just want an independent Scotland and arguing about stuff that doesn't impact most peoples lives, but splits the movement boils my piss.

The SNP is far from being anything like perfect and do loads of things that hack me off, but nothing they do compares with what Westminster do on a constant basis.

Once Scotland has all the powers it needs independently then we should start to fight amongst ourselves about the rights and wrongs of policy.

[donsdaft]

Agreed
Even more ridiculous then that they spent so much time on something so pathetic.

To say that we should just accept that sort of crap so as to not rock the boat is böllocks.

Every single day, you are being directly targeted in an information war you don’t even know you’re in. There’s an almost limitless amount of c*nts using a variety of ways, to shape the way you think, vote & live. Culture wars, dead cats, disinformation, troll bot farms, think tanks, grifters & right wing mouthpieces are constantly battling for your attention. Social media opens the door to it but you can’t avoid it. Media outlets aim their content towards getting rage clicks. Their columnists write articles to generate internet traffic, news anchors now offer opinion instead of fact.
Bullsh1t is incredibly powerful. It swung the Brexit vote, elected Trump & Johnson, caused the Jan 6th insurrection & made millions for prominent anti vaxxers. We live in a world where you can monetise saying Sandy Hook was faked & an utter sh1t stain like Andrew Tate, can become the poster boy for millions and kids

Closer to home, the GRA was used to split a previously united independence movement. You’ll say that that’s on Sturgeon but it’s the other way about. I was keeping an eye on it for a few years & your generation were specifically targeted. Have a look at the next Alba piss up & you’ll see they are overwhelmingly older. I’m guessing deep down you, stewarty etc feel a bit sidelined by the younger yessers? Even though you were wanting independence since before these funny dressing whipper snappers were born. That was heavily played upon.

It’s a f*cking minefield out there & we’re all potential victims

[Donanddusted]

How do we know that isn't clickbait? :-"

[donsdaft]

Ah, propaganda you mean.

It’s not new


I don’t feel sidelined at all
Not even remotely.

You’re overthinking things
