    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.

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