      That’s still an oversimplification. In reality political opinion varies across a spectrum; it’s not just hard left, hard right, or no opinion. My own views for example are a little left of centre with a leaning towards liberty (i.e. away from authoritarian). So of course I get called a nazi by the hard left, and a tankie by the hard right, both of which are utter nonsense.

        Interesting. Tell me, what’s your opinion on the banning of Palestinian Action?

          I can answer this now we’ve got some additional information: Male PA activist strikes female PC with a sledge hammer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g54g1r15eo

          PA refused to denounce this individual but instead claimed this was planned, intentional, and will be repeated in future.

          Ban = Quite Right.

          If it was just property destruction then a ban would probably have been a bit excessive but GBH changes that equation drastically. That PC could have been killed for just doing her job. This is absolutely not acceptable, and PA supporters* need to be ashamed of themselves.

          *As distinct from “Palestine supporters”. Still nothing wrong with protesting in favour of a misogynistic, homophobic, antidemocratic, murderous cult, although it’s beyond me why anyone in the West would want to.

            Ban = Quite Right.

            So you don’t actually “lean away from authoritarian” at all, you just want it to be wielded against your own political enemies.

            Still nothing wrong with protesting in favour of a misogynistic, homophobic, antidemocratic, murderous cult

            Ah, so you are, in fact, a genocidal fascist. I suppose it makes sense why you lied then.
