It's surprising that CRT haven't introduced a 'social licence'. You know, a bit like the 'social' heating, water and broadband schemes where everyone not on benefits subsidises the bills of those who are. That might be tough for CRT though, they might find that they have to knock back the bills they spent so long justifying an increase for: those without a home mooring.

I’m beginning to realise most people on this forum judging by their right wing unempathic views about other people. who are not so well off as themselves. I wouldn’t associate with in the real world, so why would I want to associate with them virtually? I wouldn’t talk to you in a pub, so I have very little desire to talk to you on here. You seem to want to live in an echo chamber, where views opposite to your own are drowned out with inane posts. Good look in your saccharin rosy glow world. I can't speak for everyone with right wing views but my own have no connection with being unsympathetic about other people. The view that only a government with ever growing reach into people's lives can provide sympathy, and only those who support such government growth can be deemed sympathetic is just an opinion. Not an opinion that I share. We shouldn't all be bound by one opinion and damned if we don't comply.

The SNP didn’t get enough MSPs so were a minority government. They needed someone to add a few votes to give them a majority. The partial PR type voting system gives the electorate an opportunity to vote for a party as well as an MSP. The party candidates are on a list and they get into parliament in proportion to the “list vote”. The other big parties are all against independence so the only choice was the looney greens. They got 2 MSPs in the cabinet despite having a tiny proportion of the overall vote. They have had various barking mad ideas, most of which have failed. They obviously were into cutting carbon emissions and forced through a policy that would see Scotland impoverished - and as a tiny country, its carbon emissions are globally insignificant anyway. Eventually SNP, realising there was no way they were going to meet the fast approaching interim targets, decided to ditch them. The looney greens got a sulk on and threatened to remove support for the SNP. So in the end Humza Useless found his balls and told them to fuck off. Which was good (if far too late) but of course now means that the weak and incompetent SNP government no longer have a majority, interesting times! And it will be more interesting once Nicola is arrested for being a thieving bitch. It's interesting that Nicola's husband was arrested for embezzlement. Even more interesting would be a simple question to Nicola: 'Did you know anything about your husband's embezzlement activities?' This would doubtless lead to Nicola giving a long speech including the word 'progressive' on several occasions but tactfully ignoring the question of her husband's thieving. When he's convicted, it's inevitable, she, naturally, will be shocked, will have known nothing about it. You know, wives, they never know anything about the activities of their husbands, eh. I think, given the various criminal/ immoral activities of politicians which have become apparent of late we can finally, once again, make a distinction between the right and the left: The right: a bunch of pervs. The left: they just can't keep their hands out of the till.

As I say in their older age people become more right wing and conformist . Seemingly they will put up with a lot more shit from authorities, for the sake of an easy life. It just seems to be the way of the world. I suppose the fantasy is some sort of reaction to this new compromising conformist reality that they inhabit. The funny thing about this is that nowadays requirements for conformity are as likely to come from the left as they are the right. Arguably more so. Certainly the safest place a person can be, socially, is with the left.

You'll need to remind me of when Israeli forces made incursions into foreign lands to seize dozens of civilians to act as hostages and human shields. Israel made incursions into Palestinian lands and seized the West Bank and Gaza. That could be argued as justified, but then what happened? Israel ignored at least two UN resolutions and confiscated Palestinian land and built settlements in/on the annexed territories. They continue to allow and arguably encourage members of their extreme Zionist population to apparently kill Palestinians and steal their land.
It also seems that Israel does not take hostages, they just kill hundreds of civilian women and children in the hope they also kill some Hamas fighters. Note - it is documented that they also kill the Israeli hostages when it suits them, let alone aid and medical workers.
Six of one and half a dozen of the other, but only one side seems to be trying to portray themselves as the injured party.
Over on CWDF the only injured party seems to be Hamas. This is ironic given the 'progressive' pursuasions of the collective minds on CWDF. Ironic because Hamas, and the culture they represent, are more than happy to cut their baby girls (and boys too), throw their homosexuals off tall buildings and have very clear, fixed ideas of the roles in society of men, and women. All of this, of course, flying right in the face of the collective 'progressive wisdom' on CWDF. The collective minds on CWDF might argue that the Jews cut their kids as well. It's only boys though, so I guess that isn't so bad. It would be a pity if the terrible outcomes of the likes of the American bombs on Japan at the end of WW2, the German slaughter of millions of Jews in death camps and the U.N. overseen Rwandan Hutu slaugher of the Tutsi people were downgraded by being compared to some misplaced bombs towards cowardly terrorists hanging out with children and sick people in Gaza. Such a pity that it needs to be resisted, and called out for what it is.

I'll say this though. The answer certainly won't come about by racists using hyperbolic and inflamatory language to describe current events. hmm. "the Jew hating membership would have been backed by the jew hating moderation team and banned anyone having the temerity to make such a post." Perhaps you should reflect on really why you were chucked out of CWDF. I think you are just making that one up. I was banned for calling the use of the word 'genocide' to describe events in Gaza hyperbole, with the exaggeration resulting from deep seated racism. Not only does this exaggerate the status quo, it also serves to undermine/ downgrade past acts of genocide. We all know which group was victim to one of the most notable genocides. A win:win for the Jew haters. Can't have anyone disrupting the status quo on CWDF. The explanation for the ban was 'uncivil posting'. I guess it's civil to be racist, provided that it's the right type of racism, of course.

I see the SNP have terminated the agreement with the Greens.
What's going on, do the SNP feel that the Greens have forced the agenda too far to the left, that this leaves the SNP electorally vulnerable? Something else?
Telemachus maybe?

I understand why younger people might virtue signal. A bit of insecurity, feeling the need to be accepted by the crowd. Older folk though, I don't get that.
So if someone does paid work why try to disguise this as unpaid work by describing it as 'charity work'? After all nobody has a problem with folk doing paid work.
As for the solution to the conflict in Israel/ surrounding areas only a simpleton would attempt to solve this in a single post. Actually only a simpleton would ask such a question.
I'll say this though. The answer certainly won't come about by racists using hyperbolic and inflamatory language to describe current events.

Irrelevant. Don't dodge the point. The point being, if you missed it, that international law/convention enables brutal organisations to hide out with impunity. We aren't dodging the point at all, we are interested in how an anarchist would deal with conflict, what rules you might live by? So do tell ... Yawn. Off you pop, do some paid 'charity work' perhaps.

By the same token, pre the Hamas atrocities, international law/convention, and the UN allowed the Israelis to persecute and kill Palestinians, take land by force, and treat the Palestinians in those taken lands as second class citizens, if not sub human. As they sow, so they will reap is so true, the Hamas atrocities are rooted in the way Israel has ignored the international law and conventions you talk about.
You'll need to remind me of when Israeli forces made incursions into foreign lands to seize dozens of civilians to act as hostages and human shields.

When the Americans were pursuing Saddam Hussain/ Osama Bin Laden: Had either chosen to lay up in a public hospital should the forces be expected to lay down their arms in favour of a polite request to enter to effect a peaceful arrest? If such a request were refused, does this make a public hospital a refuge, where someone may disregard any aspect of home or international law, mastermind a campaign of inhumanity perhaps, with absolute impunity? What would you have done? Irrelevant. Don't dodge the point. The point being, if you missed it, that international law/convention enables brutal organisations to hide out with impunity.

If the cowards of Hammas choose to hide in hospitals and schools that's the problem of Hammas, not Israel. Not really. Article 18 of the Geneva Convention stipulates that a building designated as a civilian hospital cannot be the target of attack. When the Americans were pursuing Saddam Hussain/ Osama Bin Laden: Had either chosen to lay up in a public hospital should the forces be expected to lay down their arms in favour of a polite request to enter to effect a peaceful arrest? If such a request were refused, does this make a public hospital a refuge, where someone may disregard any aspect of home or international law, mastermind a campaign of inhumanity perhaps, with absolute impunity?

There's no genocide in Israel. Israel is within its rights to deconstruct the organisation which captured dozens of its citizens, without provocation. It's a Palestinian problem, not an israeli one, that the cowardly tactic of human shielding is in widespread use. This proves that this forum has not become CWDF. Over there, the Jew hating membership would have been backed by the jew hating moderation team and banned anyone having the temerity to make such a post. The termination of my own membership is proof of this.
If you really do think that there has been no provocation of the Palestinians over tens of years, then you have not been following the news and Israel's actions. This is in no way trying to justify what Hamas has done, but if you don't think they have been provoked you have a very shallow understanding of what has been going on.
You also don't seem to understand the difference between a Jew and an Israeli.
Fair enough. There was provocation. Insufficient though, to justify the capture and storage in caves of dozens of innocent people. A campaign to wipe out the stain on he map that is Hammas is wholly justifiable. If the cowards of Hammas choose to hide in hospitals and schools that's the problem of Hammas, not Israel.
