I have been meaning to write back to you...Hi Anon, <br />I have been meaning to write back to you for far too long now. Not that I have anything meaningful or insightful to say, mind you!<br /><br />Thanks for your comment! And I'll note your point & try to hug the more liberal-minded socialists ;)<br /><br />And yes, I continue to encounter these guys across Melbourne; pretty much every time I walk up Swanston street, there they are with a new yet warped yet old agenda shoving things in everyone's faces & shouting a lot. <br /><br />I think the journalist that I mention was writing a book on something else, at least that's what he told me. Hmmm. Does seem more plausible he was there for info on these guys! I have completely forgotten his name by this stage, so we'll both have to watch the book/socialist space! Otherwise... there's a money-making idea right there... Hmmm...Champagne Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540128789208726965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-2971141481955390952011-11-19T08:40:35.174+02:002011-11-19T08:40:35.174+02:00Just had to leave a picket line where I was trying...Just had to leave a picket line where I was trying to support the striking workers because of these douches. They manage to turn a community picket into their own little club where they have stalls and try to recruit (unsuccesfully thank god) attack people who don't agree with everything their cult says.<br /><br />I am really interested to hear someone is writing a book about them. Is it going to come out soon? What is the focus of it? I'm so mad at their behaviour over the last few years I can't wait for it to come out.<br /><br />Anyway, please don't judge all socialists on their behaviour. Some of us are nice normal people. And nobody hates them more than the rest of us who's name they turn to mud :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-69667787665850145992010-04-19T06:22:26.827+02:002010-04-19T06:22:26.827+02:00Anon, I reckon I have to agree with you & the ...Anon, I reckon I have to agree with you & the acronym on this one!Champagne Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540128789208726965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-62571704334855570802010-04-03T05:51:56.631+02:002010-04-03T05:51:56.631+02:00This group, Socialist Alternative, were often refe...This group, Socialist Alternative, were often referred to as SA - but that caused confusion with Socialist Alliance. So they were then known as SAlt by some commentators. However, in light of their behaviour and attitude over the past few years, I suggest that a better acronym for this mob would be SAD - defined as follows:<br />'S' for Simplistic<br />'A' for Anachronistic<br />'D' for Delusion<br />Indeed, SAD is their name, and SAD is their game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-82946462318274915372010-03-11T09:08:38.367+02:002010-03-11T09:08:38.367+02:00Anon - most people I told about this have actually...Anon - most people I told about this have actually said to me that this group sounds like a fundamentalist right wing group dressed in a lefties clothing!!<br /><br />Surely you can't be "left" if you refuse pointblank to listen to other's ideas or perspectives?!<br /><br />This is then the 3rd cult I survived!

Socialist Alternative has become notorious for their cultic behaviour, so no one should be too surprised at your experience. Generally speaking, SA give other Left groups a bad name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-52818465844770195172010-02-25T05:27:31.319+02:002010-02-25T05:27:31.319+02:00Cam - :) It should have been filmed!

They have pre-conceived answers for anything you put forward & nothing is going to stop them stray from their ideology for even a nano-second - in fear that they might actually be swayed entirely away from it! Right-wing fundamentalists dressed in Leftie clothing!<br /><br />Mnr Doenbaar - Ha ha ha! Thanks for those links! I really enjoyed them & spent most of Saturday saying to people "Do you know what you know, know what you don't know, don't know what you do know, and don't know what you don't know"...and then get all mixed up & have to start again! <br /><br />I am just worried now, cause I am very "cocksure"...which makes me start thinking I am dumb. But then! If I start thinking I am dumb, that causes me to doubt my intelligence, which then makes me clever! Yeah! <br /><br /><br />As for natural selection - but if the theory does exist, then there cannot be "bad" selection, because the "dumb guys" were intelligent enough to get selected...even if it was playing the "poor me, protect me" role!<br /><br />All in all, as long as you ensure a good level of humility in all you know, you'll always be increasing your knowledge & intelligence. Because you can never know what you do not YET know. But you can be open to soon knowing some of what you do not know! :P<br /><br />Now for me to teach this once & for all to my cocksure side!Champagne Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540128789208726965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-89723100594647681662010-02-19T12:33:58.067+02:002010-02-19T12:33:58.067+02:00Rough stuff - I've seen that kind of mass nast...Rough stuff - I've seen that kind of mass nasty before and it ain't cool - good on you for having your say though, Champs. Fuck em anyway, bunch of commies.<br /><br />Is it just me, or do you also get the feeling the general intelligence level of humanity is on a chronic downhill slide caused by bad natural selection? The intelligent clearly do not breed anywhere near enough.<br /><br />The ignorant masses are getting more vocal and active, but they have no idea what they're saying. Sounds like these Marxist buddies of yours are collective victims of the old <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect" rel="nofollow">Dunning-Kruger effect</a>.
