You actually beat me to it, I was going to point out the same thing before you did. 
“The devil made me do it!”
Aha. Apologies to you @saucywench. I was just so sad about being ignored. 
Also Japanese ogre, since nobody will never use it and it must similarly be feeling overlooked. 
Oh right, thanks. Anyway, title corrected now
The REM song of the same name (the SP cut is NOT a cover) would be much more apropos.
I can’t find a REM song named “1979”. Are you thinking of “Ignoreland”?
Please try harder to keep up.
Seriously?
That had not happened when I posted that other stuff. And it wasn’t exactly a left wing government elected.
Awww! No apologies needed. Japanese ogre. 
I like gargoyles too,…and vampires, ever since I was a little kid.
You mean the “other stuff” from Canada you posted about that you are intimately familiar with since you are Canadian?
Yesh.
You’re welcome!
Yes, I saw the title had been corrected earlier.
You did, but I wanted to provide the results.
I’m a big believer in making accurate claims about my cites, which is why I read my cite and posted:
I’m not sure what you’re adding when you write it’s not exactly a left wing government elected, given that that’s almost verbatim what I wrote, except that you left off the part about relative to what’s there currently.
Your claim, remember , was that “the world is shifting to the right.” Elections showing a country shifting to the left are direct counters to that claim; it doesn’t need to be a “left wing government” to counter your claimed shift.
I was responding to Steve_MB. My post was just after his, and his was three hours after yours.
This thread is cursed, and not just from the OP.
That’s irrelevant to the point that it counters your thesis. Are you even trying?
Once again, a thread has been hijacked. It’s become about one poster.
Is NO ONE here able to ignore this character? Just let him be wrong all by himself!
I’d be frustrated if it hadn’t been started as a minimal–content thread.
Frustrated? Here’s a fitting quote from the above-mentioned Ignoreland aimed at the OP and his ilk:
I’m just profoundly frustrated by all this
So, fuck you, man (fuck 'em)
There is beauty in simplicity.
Polands elections were on the 15th. You posted about the “world shifting right” on the 16th.
Wait, @Sam_Stone got his dates wrong in a way that undercut his point?
Huh. First time for everything.
