I don’t care what people are in fact I don’t much care for politics at all just live and let live I wish people would just stop trying to force opinions down one anthers throats and just get on with living "Amen to that ! | |||

"I think this has always been the case It all seems over emphasised now though everyone calling each other right or left couple of years ago it was a term that was very seldom used " I agree with you, I think it is because there really isn't any centre ground any more. We have a socialist government and America and Right wing government. I think people are just fed up with politics and politicians as a whole. I think it is interesting that he describes himself as a left wing lawyer. Why not just a lawyer? | |||

If your opinion doesn't match others some people just hate you. It is ok to have an opinion and respect other opinions too! | |||

"I would have deleted it without giving a response. It's like asking people who they voted for at the polling station... it's just rude." Hahaha quite right too. You would never introduce yourself as a right wing lawyer would you? It is the lefties that tend to pinch their agenda more, I think the centrists and centre rights are just waking up to them 🤷♂️ | |||

"I would have deleted it without giving a response. It's like asking people who they voted for at the polling station... it's just rude." Good comparison. I've known people for years with no idea of their politics or how they vote and wouldn't dream of asking them. I do think people's politics have now become part of their identity and they want to parade that, especially to mark themselves out as the 'good' people, although they are often not at all good or nice. | |||

"Labels have become pretty meaningless. Most things have a lot more grey and nuance to them than the labels allow. North Korea is officially the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea”. And of course it is none of those things." Just like reform UK Ltd. Naming a political party with supposidly conservative core values, after a word that is typically and historically synonymous with left wing/progressive politics  | |||

"I would have deleted it without giving a response. It's like asking people who they voted for at the polling station... it's just rude." Or condemning them for how they voted. I'm not ashamed, and won't be made to feel ashamed to have voted Labour, and also to have been a Bexiteer. | |||

"In America they make how they vote their identity. It’s so weird. So they’re in this perpetual cycle of being divided & thinking half the country is “evil” & “wrong”. It’s so stupid & juvenile. They treat politics the same way we do football teams. Hopefully we don’t follow suit." I see this on the forum though. I find it maddening to be labelled left or right when i don't think of certain issues being that way. Don't get me wrong I understand politics infiltrates every aspect of our lives, but I don't I have to be a leftie in every single aspect (just because I align that way politically). | |||

"The rise in social media tracks almost exactly with the rise in tribalism and the lack of ability to see / accept other people having their own opinions. It’s allowed those in society with a normally small voice to find others at the extremes with them and appear to have a louder voice. The art of discussion has been lost to the playground tactics of shouting and name calling." No it doesn't. We've been kicking the shit out of Nazis since at least Cable Street in 1936, and social media wasn't invented then. | |||

Don't get me wrong I understand politics infiltrates every aspect of our lives, but I don't I have to be a leftie in every single aspect (just because I align that way politically)." There's been lots of work on tools like the political compass to map where people are politically, and which are more complicated than where they would have sat in the French revolutionary assembly in the eighteenth century (which is where e left and right wing comes from). My view is that we're probably more in need of a multi dimensional tool than the two dimensions of the political compass, but mapping tools can be useful, especially when they're used to challenge people on the dissonance between where they think they are, and where they actually are. | |||
