Capitalism has provided everything you have. If it has not, the taxes generated from it have.

You don’t know how old I am. As for taxes, see when Google et al pay there’s, I’ll listen to you. The thing about taxes is, I pay them, so can comment on how they’re spent.
You conflate equality with communism. Why not support your team and leave name-calling to the playground. Another qwerty ninja.
Mr McConnachie, In answer to one of your previous posts, Club 1872 is not a socialist grouping but is apolitical. I presume your weak attack on capitalism is to lend support to your fellow BLM revolutionaries, but you have conveniently omitted to present any arguments to support their wider agenda of abolishing the police service and prisons - is that because there are no arguments that a right thinking person can submit? Our fans were happy to support the “Show racism the red card” initiative, which proves they are not racist, but many fans will not be happy to abolish capitalism, the police and prisons, so they quite correctly made their views known at the two French friendlies, and I suspect will do so at any future games they may attend. As 18th century philosopher Sir Edmund Burke once said, “For the triumph of evil it is only necesssary that good men do nothing”. It must be clear, even to you, that the various posts on this subject highlight one of my key points that Rangers FC should not be involving itself in politics, as our large support is so diverse, no matter what the political issue is, there will be divergences of opinion and strong feelings either way. This whole “taking the knee” pantomime has the makings of a PR disaster for the Club if it persists in embracing this BLM antic and I would urge it to follow the lead of certain Formula 1 drivers at a recent Grand Prix by abandoning the “taking the knee” stance, and bringing back the cards and advertising for “Show racism the red card” - a message which is clear, unambiguous and embraced by fans, and I believe this satisfies the need to demonstrate to fans a code of conduct they expect us to follow.

Showing the red card would be a fantastic idea Jim.
We’ve done it before and it unites us.
Unlike BLM which divides us and turns into a capitalism vs Socialism debate.
As shown by the BLM supporters here.
Whatever the club does tomorrow we must support them.
Just put on my bet for Rangers to win

I ‘get’ the BLM message, and I honestly don’t see a problem with it. However, what became apparent, quite quickly, was that a very sinister element was either there all along, and grew, or ‘joined up’ and took over, and it was at this point that Rangers and all football associations should have stopped the support of BLM as a ‘thing’. Instead, we should have returned to the Show Racism The Red Card message.
As for the other feelings about BLM, I have to say that, as per within football, I don’t see a problem with pushing the message of BLM into the public. However, as above, when it became clear BLM had become more about rioting, defunding The Police and basically wanting to ‘reset the world’ by bringing down Governments etc, all support for it should have been dropped. In my opinion, they are now terrorists, and should be treated as such.
Nobody can say to me there was no racism in Football, Glasgow, or in The UK as a whole. Of course there was/is. But what BLM has done is defeated itself, it has created more division and more racism.
Now we see BLM supporters dressing up in paramilitary gear, patrolling the streets, and becoming a massive danger to individuals.
BLM is poisonous, to the point where it needs to be outlawed. Properly.
By all means, have as many anti racism groups as you want, but the minute they become about bringing anarchy to the streets of Britain, then they are something entirely different and should be treated just like any other terrorist organisation.
Jack, your comment intrigued me
Why do you ask people to take a long hard look at themselves?
What’s the purpose of such a statement?
Secondly, I’ll hazard a guess you’ve never looked at the BLM founders website to look up such term as:
‘Herstory’
Cisgender population
Dismantling the nuclear family
To name but a few feminist ideologies
But did you know that the three founders of BLM are lesbian?
LGBT rights are equal to all life but where do you side when BLM riots have killed children in New York?
How do you acquiesce to be acceptable in your mind, Jack O Byte?
Shall I tell you why?
You’re simply obtuse to the truth.
A guy that’s never seen the end of a barrel of a gun nor pointed it in the other direction
For you, Jack-O-Byte, you would literally shit your size 45 shorts if BLM riots were outside your door trying to take over your house or pen.
You talk as if you know what’s going on when it’s clear you know nothing about it, truly you don’t.
Read up on the ‘herstory’ of BLM and Antifa
When you do, give me the names of the 7 children who were shot and killed during their riots
And then you tell me what that has to do with liberating black people

It’s clear to see that you have zero understanding of oppression and how to bring about balance. Every point you have made above is propoganda 101, trying to disect and disparage using facts that fit your extremist narrative. You need to take a long hard look at yourself and ask yourself how you would deal with the struggle of being oppressed. My opinion on the matter would be that you can’t or won’t imagine how it feels because you believe that the current order of things is right. Instead of focussing on all the things you perceive as gone wrong why don’t you try to tell us exactly what you would do differently to promote equality for all humans? I would be very interested to hear how you would conduct your campaign.
In 2019, American Police responded to 10 Million “calls with violence”. In those, 14 unarmed black men died. 24 white men died.
Black men are not singled out.
No President has done more for the black community than President Trump. Most ever Black folk in employment. Most inducted into apprenticeships from school. Most qualifying for further education.
Before the virus, America posted its best ever financial figures, and they were also the best global percentage increases. He said himself he couldn’t have done that with out the black community supporting him.
Anything else is a Democrat/Left wing myth.
I’d respectfully suggest to you, that if anyone is believing the shite the media feeds them, it’s yourself, because the facts speak for themselves, nobody else is burning down America. It’s the black folk. Trump just the other day walked the latest round of voting, and that was attributed to what? I’ll tell you. Black support. (On top of his previous support). The Soros funded Left wing media and social media are feeding you a load of globalist 5hite and you’re taking it all in.
I’ll leave you with this. In America, the “Gangsta Rap” music scene is worth upwards of $30 Billion. That’s an ENTIRE music industry built upon black on black violence, shootings, rape, and of course the elephant in the room, black on white violence, which strangely never gets a mention these days. The music scene forms the minds of young Americans from a young age, and they are feeding it to themselves, calling themselves n I ggers every second word. Singing about shooting each other in every song.
If anyone disrespects black people, it’s themselves.
If anyone is breeding hate of blacks, it’s themselves, of themselves.
Remember the elephant in the room. See below. Black on white crime figures in The USA in 2018. Most revealing.
I do have to laugh at all these Rangers supporters who say that they care about BLM if these people had ever lived in South Africa at the so called apartheid era they would have been able to talk on this subject without discrimination on either side of the argument when you can actually talk some sense.
When you have witnessed 100 white men leave their lunch because the club would not serve 4 black men this was in the late 70s or your son playing golf with either blacks or Indians in the mid 80s and this was the time that the world said that nothing like this was happening in South Africa. I had more discrimination against me when I came back to the UK and was asked why I was working in England and taking work away from the English they got a answer that they were not expecting when I told them I was here to shag as many of their wife’s as I could 1989/90.
So stop arguing among yourselves about something that will carry on for ages to come but the Gers will still be there winning titles and cups.
