I am anti-harm to others. That's my thing. Some of you hard core right wingers just follow your side of politics the way you follow Souths - with one eye. And you trot out the tired old name calling smear cards that parrots what the tired old crusties on your "team" do on their shock jock circle jerk fests.
Some have said to me they think I want to talk about covid or climate change or racism or LGBTQIA issues. I don't. Really. My thing is all about harm to others. I'm a health professional and I come on here for some light relief and banter but when I see people bringing harmful rhetoric onto the Pride to influence others to go that way, I feel compelled to stand up against what I see as propaganda designed to promote further harm to others.
Spurious B.S. "info" from dingbats-r-us.com that gets plastered on here at times by some of you encourage people to go against the best health advice based on Science regarding covid that risks the health and lives of vulnerable others - including many of our fellow Pridesters no less - or same again regarding climate change or harmful racist or anti-gay rhetoric needs to be opposed as it can cause and influence others to cause real life harm to other people.
So, I'm not pro or not anti-right wing per se and there are many moderate, reasonable & caring people on the right, including right here on the Pride that I respect that I have no truck with as they don't support the pursuit of power at the expense of harm to others but you've got to admit, the extreme right wing has gone off the deep end, bat-shit crazy (BSC) in the last decade or so far, far worse than the left and much of it fuelled by Rupert's money-making machine. Like extreme. ASIO tells us the biggest terrorist threats in Australia are neo-nazi white supremacists ahead of the risk posed by Islamist terror threats by far nowadays. In the USA, the Republican party has become a circus thanks to the MAGA and QANON extremists infiltrating their party and Congress and it's happening across Europe too. Total BSC madness.
Edmund Burke nailed it when he said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of
evil is for
good men to do
nothing."
So, that's my thing. I'm anti-harm to others and you can throw your childish taunts at me all you like. Fits the profile afterall.
