@nimh,
nimh wrote:Might have been interesting, then, for a Labour Party member like Izzy to see those quotes I posted above from Neil Kinnock, Denis Healey, Michael Foot, and Nye Bevan, praising "democratic socialism". Or the video of Olof Palme saying "I am a democratic socialist". Or the quote of Jean-Luc Melenchon declaring "we are democratic socialism". Or the mention of the German Party for Democratic Socialism. Easy to throw in more: [...]
But you see Nimh, we all see what we want to see. The Push sees you not because he does not want to see you. Now that I have copied you twice, he will not see me either. But that doesn't matter, because even when I copy your arguments, he doesn't read them. And even when he responds to my posts, he doesn't read them either, most of the times.
Look at it this way: it's not your cross to bear. People listen to whoever they want, and they see whoever they want to see. It's the Push's loss in the end: he cannot access valid data, and hence keeps himself misinformed.
Even the worst among us have taught me a thing or two... They have certain areas of expertise, sometime a flick of brilliance even. E.g. Oral is a good example of that: generally despicable, but occasionally useful if not perspicacious.
