I stand by my statement, or have I triggered you...? The same Wikipedia page opens with " Snowflake is a 2010s derogatory slang term for a person ".

uscore Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Do people still defend their right to be offensive by simply yelling "triggered"? Hey, 2017 called, they want their tedious catchphrase back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipkins Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Not keen on cherries. Also not going to waste time defending things I already know and am happy with. Not offended, just continually gobsmacked that people, esp the younger generation, fall for Corbyn's rhetoric. They are clearly too young to remember the 70s. The Lib Dems are the only major party calling for a 2nd referendum, standing up for students and defending the worker. Or you can vote for the party of Diane Ab... Ummm...

kalifire Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 1 hour ago, Pipkins said: AOC is without any shadow of a doubt one of the least politically knowledgeable politicians on the scene. She is embarrassingly naïve and is perfect for the snowflake brigade who seem to fall for anything where they don't have to employ common sense or reason. That’s not an argument.

MEGABOWL Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 8 hours ago, The Nal said: I think its about time we stopped placing any faith or hope in politicians. A weird bunch of people and a weird profession to take up. They'll inevitably let us down. Every single time. Shes no different. It’s not that, they’re just limited in what they can actually do. There are too many powerful entities pulling in different directions. They shouldn’t promise the world but sometimes it’s the only way to actually get elected. It’s just they have very little chance of actually enacting those promises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts don’t matter anymore. You can always find a chamber that echoes back what you want it to, and serves to provide a sense of validity to points of view that have no basis in reality. It’s a bit scary when you think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
