She sounds absolutely unhinged, going into someone's business just to pick a fight with them is straight up bullying behaviour.

I listened to the interview with the florist. I'm not excusing any behaviour, but the florist sounded like an entitled boomer. She started up about cycle ways, and then when Julie responded slightly irritated was all "that's what you greenies always do". It honestly sounded like the florist wanted to pick a fight.

Also, an aside to this, but you have a real hate hard on for the greens don't you?

Proceeds to excuse the behaviour.

And I'm here to see politicians held accountable for their actions, you should ask yourself why I'm the only one posting bad news about the Greens.

No, I pointed out that, perhaps, the shopkeeper wasn't quite as blameless in the interaction as implied.

By far and away the most stuff you post is negative news about the greens, not about any other party (some labour before the election IIRC). But I'm not really hear to argue about this point, I just wanted to comment about it is all. If you disagree that's fine mate.

I don't deny my biases and pretend to be somebody I am not.

[–] Ilovethebomb -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh, we're well aware of your political leanings. It's not like you talk about anything else.

[–] BalpeenHammer 2 points 6 months ago

You should be aware. I make no pretences and I am not duplicitous like you.
