Comment on Vegan Politician Zack Polanski Elected New Green Party Leader In Landslide Victory

Those 2 constituent countries fly under the Union Jack.

Oh fuck off with this ignorance.

The Scottish Greens and The Green Party of England and Wales are not the same and have no official association.

The Scottish Greens officially declared no longer working with GPEW several years ago because of their transphobic stance. They also have different economic outlooks. The Scottish Greens lean towards socialism while the GPEW has a lot of ex Tories.

The Scottish Greens are also pro independence, so do they fuck fly under the Union Jack.

Yes there’s hope now that the GPEW will move more towards a socialist stance but that doesn’t make them the same.

You cannot hold a civil debate. Disengage.

Potentially a fair point but completely spoiled by swearing and vitriol. I’m seeing a lot more of this on Lemmy these days and it’s a big and unnecessary disappointment.

  A solarPUNK performing speech control?
  
  I said the word fuck. Not bigotry, not insults.
  
  The vitriol is due to their confident ignorance in the face of facts. They were corrected by the admin of the UK server as to there not being a UK green party and responded with an insulting imperialist stance that they all fly under the Union Jack anyway. Throughout this comment thread they responded with nonsense or holier than thou stances. Even in response to my comment they frame it as a debate and order me to stop when there is no debate to be had.
  
  Your comment is a disappointment to your server’s ideology.

    It’s not speech control; you’re free to say what you want.
    
    And I’m saying that I don’t like seeing nastiness. It’s unpleasant and sets a bad example, pushing the culture of the platform as a whole in a more toxic direction. If another commenter has done that to you then call them out for it or ignore it, don’t add to it.
