No, I just don't think you're worth the time. I'm getting married tomorrow and I don't want to waste my last forum check before I go dark for a while on someone who wouldn't surprise me if they took a flight and bought a tiki-torch tomorrow. :) Bye!

Well congragulations and I guess this means no tiki party at your wedding.

If history repeats itself, I'll at least take some solace in the fact that the brownshirts will get a taste of their own medicine after they strongarm the fascists in.

 

Historical awareness not being their strong-suit and all.

"There is no doubt that Trump's messaging has given confidence and leash to the ethno-nationalists. He knows who his base is and he knows who he has in-part galvanized behind him."

 

If so, he pulled an Obama.

Obama didn't do that with black ethno-nationalists, so, lets not throw such accusations around.

 

@raithe: I find it ironic that they used tiki/hawaiian/polynesian torches instead of white-people-made torches, whatever that looks like.

volo you were very quiet yesterday.....were you at the protest? Do tell...no judgement here. Which right wing did you associate with, if I had to guess I would say alt-right?

Yeah. Yeah. He did.

 

Where's your proof?

 

volo is one of those members who has this irrational and unfathomable dislike of Obama, he cant really give you a valid reason but tends to generalize so dont take what he says personally or think he actually wants to debate the point in a normal way :)

Jason Kessler got punched in the face, I'm sure that the Alt-Right will equate this with getting hit by a car.

There are rumors of another march tonight, police in riot gear are stationed around downtown but do not seem to be actively dispersing the counter-protesters who are out today - although they did escort Kessler away from the scene of his attempted press conference after he was struck. He didn't get a platform to spew his bile though as he was drowned out by chants of 'murderer' and 'say her name'.

And while I'm not saying violence is the right course of action...

I certainly wouldn't loose a minute of sleep if this happened again:

Not a bad hit, looks like he was trying for a forearm rather than a punch. Probably should have called to try to get him hit on the nose though.

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”
 

 

 

I find that quote to be pretty apt for Israel as they're in danger of becoming the kind of people that they originally fled. Not in the nazi sense, more in the non-democratic apartheid sense.

I'd say they're pretty much there, I image that you're referring to their treatment of the Ethiopian and the Sudanese. Also, it seems like an unfair comparison due to Germany having a strain on resources because of war efforts, leading to extreme measures. Israel seems to be heading there despite astronomical monetary support from the US; which we should stop IMO.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

I meant the way they treat the Palestinians and israeli-arabs, the Jewish population is actually a minority in their country. They literally have a choice between having a democratic state while being a minority vs a nondemocratic state ruled by the minority.

For the general public;  in case you didn't know. Israel had a influx of immigrant from Africa; a portion being Ethiopian or Sudanese Jews, whom they have temporarily sterilized (at least we can hope its temporary) and packed into a repurposed jailhouse where they are harassed by authorities for doing anything that might be considered "settling in". It is very obvious that the Israeli government doesn't want them there despite a portion of them being jewish.
