Care to explain?

I'm guessing not which is a shame I was genuinely interested to hear but this does seem to be in alignment with everything I have and continue to witness.

You do seem to consistently appear just trying to belittle and insult other posters. You shouldn't do this. Not for anyone else's sake but for your own. I imagine you clenching your fists and jaw, with a quivering lip, teary eyed, muttering things to yourself to try and fight the demons that plague you. Only you have the power to change this yourself, it lies within you, and constantly trying to berate others behind the safety of a screen won't do you any favours, you're only feeding it. The power to alter this dynamic lies internally not externally.

It's perfectly acceptable and necessary to hold opposing opinions, and you can strongly disagree with others. Don't try to infect them with your own hate however, that's detrimental all round. If you feel as though a desired goal is unachievable, even if no fault of your own (such as other posters), don't pursue a resentment against that fact and move on.

I hope you have a great Xmas and things improve all round for you.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

My argument would be PV that the above, barring Palestine/Israel, are all worthy causes where barriers, bullying etc did exist.

There's a difference between removing those barriers and any persecution those groups may face however and just swinging the pendulum the other way to favour them through deliberate engineering, if not entirely misusing them.

Sentiments and missions which had solid, logical and worthy cause have, I agree, become a power grab. Occasionally this power grab is not even by the groups falling within this bracket however, they can be hijacked by machiavellian or any other self serving types too, and often are, as society and individuals become dogmatically and blindly swept up in them.
