Re: The MAP community needs to chill

This is perhaps a thread that is now drifting inexorably into the past, but, for what it's worth, here's my tuppence ha'penny. Well, it is difficult, to begin with, to know what to make of an article that loudly proclaims that we all need to "chill" and follows this up by... attacking Tom. The attack was quite maliciously false as well. The idea that Tom's cogently argued piece was on the same level as the Daily Mail is ridiculous. The problem is that what you are advocating is decidedly not a "middle ground", but only a middle ground between the sides you choose to take seriously, which are the virpeds and the woke pro-freedom side. Why you should take the virpeds seriously at all is a mystery to me. Their strategy has rather conspicuously failed, and their only apparent interest is how fast they can sell the rest of us down the river, just as the gays did in the early 90s. It seems that a condition for any stance to come within your purview is that it accepts a broad woke ideology - hence your attack on Tom who has put himself beyond the pale of reasonable discussion by pointing out that the woke Emperor has no clothes. So you have to resort to different tactics to reasonable discussion - ad hominen attacks for his supposedly writing like a tabloid hack. He may be ancient, but he's clearly not going senile yet. At the very least, he knows a busted flush when he sees one. Maybe things look differently on the other side of the pond, but in Britain the impact of the Cass Report very much had the feel of a scam being exposed. I would suggest that a better strategy would involve not attacking our long time friends and not seeking to find common ground with our enemies and the failed agenda of the virpeds. Unity bought by internalising hegemonic ideology is not a real unity. Unity is not the same as abject surrender. To hell with the virpeds (and the whole anti-freedom brigade). What use are they to us anyway?
