Right wing cranks are cranky

Well, as if you didn't know they live in their own little, intensely unhappy, bubble world, I've just noticed that many of the self admitted inmates of Catallaxy have, by and large, been saying that they didn't watch a minute of Commonwealth Games coverage and (seemingly) avoided the whole thing more-or-less on principle. 

Given that the crowds at the Games seemed reasonably large and enthusiastic, and Channel 7 killed it in the TV ratings, they are confirming again how they live in their own bubble world, where unless it's an angry white guy on Sky News going off about Malcolm Turnbull or political correctness, they aren't interested in TV.

Right wing bubble world is a pretty sad place...and angry.  Very, very angry.  And funnily enough, while they disparage Hollywood stars who threaten to leave the US if a candidate they hate were to get elected, the Catallaxy inmates frequently make very similar statements, about how they would get out of Australia if they could.  Because it's gone to the dogs, obviously.  

Very low level of self awareness going on...

Was your lack of interest ideologically motivated? As someone who barely watches sport, I can't really criticise those who don't watch for pure lack of interest in any sport, but my amusement is more that many Catallaxians claim an ideological reason for not watching...

commonwealth games is second perhaps third rung sport.

If I do not support a team then there is no point in watching it.

I do watch some Olympic games stuff

Steve they yell and scream but do nothing. Then they complain about activists who do something thereby influencing public policy. The likes of the Cat despise activists but the Cat crowd lacks of the courage of their convictions. They moan and moan but won't do anything constructive. It is no wonder they are increasingly irrelevant.
