Cameron being a dick, as usual

Nice one Cameron. Your opponent calls for a kinder politics with less personal attacks, completely ignores the allegations of your sexual depravities... and you respond by saying he hates Britain and sympathises with terrorists. Good job !

How to troll like a sociopath

Here's the truth about what Jeremy Corbyn actually said. It's a comment on earlier news that David Cameron Called Corbyn a “security threatening, terrorist-sympathising, Britain-hating ideologue”.

These words were spoken out loud at the Conservative Conference but if they had been posted straight away on the Internet it would be an extremely good example of the worst kind of trolling anyone can stoop to. Here's how it's done:

1) Take just a few words that someone has said, and take them entirely out of context. The fewer the words, the easier it is to coerce them to mean what you say they mean.
Example: He thinks the death of Osama bin Laden was a “tragedy”.

2) Take something else that person has said and make it look like a) you said it first, b) it supports your argument, c) it doesn't support your opponent's views, and d) it can be used to make him look bad.
Example: No. A tragedy is nearly 3,000 people murdered one morning in New York.

3) Get to know all of the logical fallacies such as the straw man argument (raising an issue as if it came from your opponent rather than arising in your own head) and the ad hominem attack ("my spurious use of fallacy shows that he is therefore a bad person").
Example: My friends – we cannot let that man inflict his security-threatening, terrorist-sympathising, Britain-hating ideology on the country we love.

There are plenty of other tactics you can use. Just look up 'logical fallacies' and think about how you can use them to trap those who haven't been on the Internet as long as some of us.

Oh, and it helps if you have an extremely high level of sociopathy.

  1. Those are some seriously dick head statements to make, I have no idea how he got reelected.

  2. He got re-elected by appearing to be as moderate and central as possible, and behaving with some degree of honour. When the Daily Fail called Ed Milliband's father, "The Man Who Hated Britain", he supported Ed Milliband. Apparently when it comes to Jeremy Corbyn the gloves are off.

  3. He reminds me of Blair and New Labour and he'll say anything to curry favour.
