Who gives a flying fuck about what happened decades or centuries ago. It has absolutely zero relevance. Sick of hearing about how historical figures were racist or left wing or right wing. Even the “there are only right wing terrorists” thing is a load of shite. There are horrible cunts from each extreme spectrum of views.
It would be nice if relativity like minded individuals on a Stoke City messageboard could just agree to disagree and have some fun instead of dragging the place into a murky world or race and religion.

Not at all. It's perfectly possible for any rational person to be grateful for someone's actions or achievement in a given set of circumstances and yet still think they're a thoroughly unpleasant c*nt. Which is pretty much what the country thought in 1945 when they booted him out. The mythologising of Churchill is very much a post war phenomenon. Many people talk about people in history incorrectly. I’ve heard Henry VIII praised on the back of managing six wives when let’s be honest he was an absolute cunt. This will always happen. But like I said in Churchill’s case winning a world war against a group of people who gassed millions of innocents to death will stand out until the end of time. I’m not arguing with his faults, they’re just irrelevant in comparison. You could make the same arguement about Stalin who's contribution to defeating the Nazis was equal to that of Churchill. He also transformed the Soviet Russian economy from peasantry to an Industrial force. For this, to many, he remains a hero. He was also an egregious cunt who many others would describe with unquestionabke justification as a 'monster'. To describe Churchill's failings as irrelevant is as disrepectful to those who starved in Bengal as a result of Churchills colonialism as it would be to those who disappeared in the USSR if they were ignored in favour of Stalin's 'achievenents'. All these people should be studied in the round |

Yeah it’s absolutely pointless retrospectively judging people by today’s standards for views that were widespread at the time they existed.

If it's not for you stick to more light hearted threads - there are plenty of them. |

A bit of calm and respect if you will. Social media is responsible for the kind of outlandish comments we’re seeing on here I’m afraid and it sucks to see posters, many of which I have plenty of time for (from both “sides”) arguing over history. Lots of “whataboutery” going on. |

There are no left wing terrorists in the UK and haven't been in living memory There was the Bader Mainhoff gang but they were German and that's pretty much 50 years ago If course not everything is left v right IRA and UDF, wouldn't call either left or right Islamic terrorism in UK is not left or right Wheras organisation like the EFL are clearly right wing In my life time (50 years) the original IRA were certainly Marxist (as were the INLA) and its offshoot the Provisional IRA had a socialist political wing. The provos also copied Marxist tactics seen in Malaya, Rhodesia, Vietnam etc with free or liberated areas, hit and run tactics, terror of the local populace to comply. There’s oddities like the Angry Brigade in the UK, Red Brigade and Red Army Faction in Italy, ETA in Spain were Marxist-Leninist. Some of the aforementioned are active to a certain extent. Right wing terrorism has to my mind been characterised by lone wolf or small groups influenced by a core ideology with no real structure behind it. Has there been a large organised, visible and effective right wing terror group in the UK? I would say no. In my time in the military in security briefs, the terror threat was always regarded as Islamic or Irish dissidents. The IRA like the UDF attract left and right wing for the simple reason that the primary motive for joining is so they can carry out horrific murders and violence, some of them could probably swap sides quite happily, they don't want peace, they just enjoy killing |

To be honest it’s probably the best post on the thread which tells a story in itself. We shall meet again in more light hearted terms I’m sure. For now I’ve got some bins to investigate….. |

All these people should be studied in the round I understand he had his faults. By irrelevance I meant more to British people rather than just myself, you’ll never change that with today’s society, but in a few years it’ll probably change. I admittedly am a tad defensive regarding criticism of Churchill, I suppose I’d rather not think about the negatives. And as has been said, some (not all) of those negatives were at a time when things were much different than they are now. |

I think alot of members on both sides felt they were doing it for the right reasons and to protect their communities. Growing up in an environment where you, friends and your family experience conflict and are living in neighbourhoods which aren't integrated can lead people into joining such organisations. I think the same applies for many other extremist organisations across the world. Alot of people probably feel they're doing the right thing due to their lived experiences. And I think once these organisations gain arms and numbers they begin to have alot of influence over their communities. Due to the power they wield its then difficult for the civillians to challenge them too. I think it's alot more complex than people just joining to kill people. |

If this is a multiple choice question Bradley I'm going to say B. The Runners-up in conflicts who don't get to write History The Beaver gave a great example in Stalin who was arguably responsible for the turning of WW11 in Europe by freezing the Bollocks off Hitler's Tank Regiments on the Eastern front but he wasn't all bad because he killed off Millions off his own people because his 5 year Plans, which usually lasted 7 or 8, but whose counting revitalised Agriculture Another great hero was Columbus, where might we be today if he just stayed at home with his missus drinking wine instead of galavanting off all over the place and inventing the USA I know he was a good guy because I consumed enough Popcorn in the Saturday Morning Flicks to understand the Injuns were the baddies There is nothing wrong in retrospectively trying to understand modern day conflicts from a historical perspective Alexander was a Great guy or to give him his proper name Dhu al-Qarnayn, as was Churchill, doesn't mean they weren't C*nts in other aspects of their life. |

Lots of “whataboutery” going on. Which is why I don’t come on here half as much as I used to. I have to say it’s bloody good for your sanity but it shouldn’t to be like that. There will be a time when all of the political threads on the Oatie just become echo chambers because those that have a vastly different or even mildly alternative view can’t be bothered to post through fear fear of being jumped on by the masses. People talk about “free speech” but it’s being eradicated on here unless you’re quite a long way left of central. There are some excellent posters on here on both sides however some of the more recent threads have become toxic and full of hypocrisy (I can use examples but won’t as I don’t want to go down a familiar rabbit hole). I’ve got to the stage (as I’m sure plenty of others have who’ve been noticeably absent recently) of just not being bothered coming onto the political threads anymore as I find they just depress me, not because of the subject but because of the direction they always end up going. I’m certainly not in agreement with a lot (not all) of what Vidigal7 says but as Gawa (one of the finest) says he should be able to post his views without being branded or jumped on. In the end it’s his opinion and surely there can be a healthier debate around his views without it getting so personal and him feeling targeted. There’s a brilliant thread on mental health (which you’ve had a huge input on 👏) that talks a lot about wellbeing and peoples battles and struggles re their demons. Maybe people need to read that and start being a little kinder in their responses. In the end we’re all Stokies and need to look out for each other. I’m sure there’s a good few of us having struggles who come onto here for a bit of light relief because it’s a superb forum. Let’s just be easier on each other or we’ll lose what is a great escape from reality. Probably doesn’t feel like the right thread “right wing terrorism” to put such a soppy post but in some ways it’s exactly the right (no pun intended) one. Let’s not forget we might all be footy fans but it doesn’t mean we can’t also sometimes be fragile and occasionally break  |

They don't irritate me in the slightest, which is why I routinely participate in them and, by contrast, avoid threads which I've no interest in. It's not hard to do. |

They don't irritate me in the slightest, which is why I routinely participate in them and, by contrast, avoid threads which I've no interest in. It's not hard to do. Definitely don't. Anyone with opposing views to a few prominent posters on here soon get jumped on by their fellow cult members 😁😉 |

Not worth engaging anymore with you Melt Just one of numerous 😄 If you don't like the threads, why put yourself through the misery of reading and contributing to them? And save yourself the bother of then having to go off and whine about them too? Seems the far more intelligent approach to me! |

Sad man 😁 Strangely, it didn't take any time at all to find many examples of you doing precisely what you'd just denied in the post before 🤣 And have just done again! You're not cut out for these kinds of places, knype. Like FYD, partick and thevoid, they seem to wind you up way too much. |
