caseyjones 3,009 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 For plenty it isn't....Kev summed it up best on this thread...the rest really is just howling at the moon....Plenty of people seem to have fell for the uber fans fishing....I can't understand why an educated man like yourself would believe that the politics surrounding the club have no effect on personal beliefs, especially considering the huge impact that Rangers have on our lives.

I sat on Silver! 1 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 But they don't have their own Governments, you seem to have some sort of mental block.And OK, I got the quiz wrong, what was the answer? Fuck the English?Alluding to the fact that Englishman don't run Westminster for the benefit of their 'own' people (Welsh Irish and Scots are not included in the term 'their'), is just as delusional as thinking that Jews don't run America. BARMY!OK - I'm now off to look up some moon landing conspiracy theories and get back into my 'mental block'... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigyboy9 416 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I was thinking, this could be conplicated further. Someone could be for political nationalism, but still a loyalist to the Crown? Like Oz, NZ and Canada etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart1994 4,303 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Here's a crazy thought maybe football fans actually couldn't give a fuck about politics because it has "he haw" to do with football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 George Orwell pointed out that to be a Nationalist was to be slightly mad. He went on to discuss Burma, Ireland, Spanish Civil War Nationalism, National Socialism and even Soviet Russian Nationalism. They are all in their ways moving away from genuine politics and policies towards something less rational, something closer to madness. And the mad can never admit to or see that they are mad.Rangers fans in the main I would hope are generally rational, suspicious of voodoo, hateful of theocracy, wary of overt Nationalism but comfortable with the best aspects of Patriotism and brotherhood (or sisterhood if you will).The SNP, we are beginning to realise, are a parcel of rogues with no wrapping, no policies, no morality, no idea. Their council tax freeze and their sectarian bandwagon and their destruction of education is unwinding to reveal a big bare arse.Made me laugh - Is being British not being Nationalistic just a different set of boundaries. Are Americans less nationalistic than the Russians (or Britishs for that matter) ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 The whole nationalistic thing - I remember that the Rangers fans used to be the broad base on which the Scottish team support was based!But since when did you allow your politics to be defined by the team you support.

YoungCitizen 79 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Btw, 'Atheist' is spelled incorrectly in your sig.I noticed that too. Perhaps his sig should be changed to, "Adults who can't spell are stupid."Just a thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many football teams worldwide who are politicised because of their support's beliefs, or a section of that support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
