I'm waiting for the inevitable holocaust of hurt feelings when people realise the Nationals have thrown their voters totally under the bus over fracking. Say goodbye to all that farmland and most of the state's fresh water supply.

ScreamingLlama posted:I hereby register my strenuous objection to this part of the OP on the grounds that you are going too loving far. We (yes, we, there's still plenty of Dems) are still a party as far as the AEC is concerned, and until remain so until such time as the party is actually deregistered. Also stop being a bunch of shitlords carrying on about something that happened twenty years ago that half of today's party membership had no loving control over (due to, you know, being children at the time).  Also they're deliberately inheriting the legacy, so what happened 20 years ago does sort of matter m8

ScreamingLlama posted:I'm not willing to accept the idea that one fuckup means that group should be gone forever. After all, the ALP put Kim Beazley in charge for a long while. It was a pretty gigantic fuckup that undermined the whole point of the party, that being to "keep the bastards honest". But honestly, I wouldn't mind a resurgence of the Democrats. There's only one left wing party that has seats in either federal house at the moment and it's distressing.

Just as clarification, the ALP has hosed up so much that it should be gone forever, but apparently not.

Lid posted:No i just don't like people being asshats to idealists and a gang mentality that would alienate allies that are in political alignment just to feel superior which will only serve to push people away. You guys have an innate non understanding that maybe you'll get more allies by taking people on a good track under your wing and intellectually explaining the pros of a Green over a Democrat than being giant personal attacking dickheads. As a former member of the Socialist Alliance, I agree with this.

Sulla-Marius 88 posted:Another fun one is the justification of wrong-doing by scoring it against some abstract concept of balance, either personal or broader. I think to some extent, everyone is guilty of this sort of behaviour. It's just that the scope is so much wider and thus the act so much more heinous when you've got money and power. I absolutely don't excuse the behaviour, of course. Wealth and power are never coupled with the integrity or responsibility they require, for if they were I'm sure those privileged with them would see their boons redistributed.

I think the difference between a sincere person and a troll scraping around for any justification to 'win the argument' is an appreciation for context and intention. It's why we acknowledge legally that there is a difference between murder and manslaughter, and voluntary and involuntary manslaughter, etc. I absolutely agree. Just because things can't be perfect doesn't mean they can't be better.
