You moaning about "big business".
Erm, excuse me? Looks like a bit of sarcasm failure on your part. Either that or you're just reading what you want to read.
I was commenting that Corbyn fans won't believe Virgin because it's a big business, not complaining about it myself. If you're going to have a go at me, at least read my posts properly.
I think it's a bit like this, and it
is comparable to the rise of Donald Trump:
Many people in the U.S.A want
change. They think that Donald Trump
means change (and there
would be change, just terrible change), so they have started to turn to him. Trump represents something
new to them, at least.
There are already the Trump fanatics who will make everything he says louder, and will use the powers of the mob and peer pressure to get people to support him
Now, Trump inevitably says lots of stupid things. And when he says said stupid things, the 'establishment' media tears into him.
But this doesn't affect
the Donald. Why?
Well, he's already told his supporters that the media are against him and will lie about him whenever they can. His supporters believe him, and so, whenever anything comes out about Trump, they stick by him and even go into denial about these things if questioned.
Donald Trump's managed to create his own political bubble. It's simple. People want change, so they turn to Trump. Get your supporters to distrust everything that's said against you, and you can't lose. You can get away with
anything.
That's exactly what Jeremy Corbyn is doing.
People voted for Corbyn because they wanted change. Corbyn represents something
new to them, at least. There are the Corbyn 'fanatics' who help to drum up support for him...
...and if anyone says something against him, he and his supporters can stop people from believing it.
Why? Well, just like 'the media and establishment' are against Trump, 'the businesses and Blairites' are against Corbyn to them.
So, if someone reports your lies as lies, then get your attack-dogs, no, the
mob, to attack and smear them! Simple, isn't it?
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to post-truth politics.
