  • The rise of right-wing in Europe can be directly attributed to the massive influx of right-wing conservative ideologues from the middle East pouring in.

    I’m a huge proponent of immigration, but what we’re seeing here is the backlash of immigration done incredibly poorly.

    There will be articles for years that tap dance around with us, but if you listen to the people who are voting for right-wing assholes, it’s pretty clear why they’re doing it and what they’re saying. The Press has been bullied into avoiding talking about it though under the guise of islamophobia.


  • Typical of your ilk facts are relevant because they don’t suit your narrative.

    The Free world will continue to focus on reality. Here. The reality is there’s a terrorist organization running an enclave right next to the only democracy in the middle East. Those terrorists have spent their entire lives outwardly calling for the death of the citizens of that democracy .

    No one in that enclave is being genocided and that’s easily proven by the fact that no genocide has ever ended when the hostages were released.

    That you’re unable to acknowledge these simple facts and this readily apparent reality really just shows how easily people are caught up in the social media cause du jour.

    I’d call on you to be better to be less ignorant and to be less pathetic, but you’ve proven yourself unable to do any of those things.


  • Facts aren’t insanity, denying facts or insanity.

    You realize there are Arab judges on the Israeli supreme Court right? Please tell me you’re aware that there are over 2 million Arab Israelis living with full rights in Israel.

    You’re aware of this fact in reality, right?

    You seem to think that non-israelis, ones who have openly committed to killing Israelis deserve the same rights and protections as an Israeli citizen, which is an absolutely insane position to take.



  • You realize there’s 2 million Arabs living with full rights, some even serving in the IDF in Israel right? Gazans are Arabs, they’re not distinct from the Israelis living adjacent, no people’s are even remotely close to being wiped out FFS.

    You realize that based on the birth rates there’s going to be more Gazans after the war than before it right!

    Come on. Have you seen what’s going on on college campuses right now? I’ve heard far less serious things being said with absolute sincerity.

    We’re reaching the point where victimhood is the only trait people aspire to achieve.



  • Can we take a minute to appreciate the bookstore that this is happening at?

    It’s called McNally Robinson. It’s based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It has previously expanded into places like New York city, but I believe now only operates out of Winnipeg .

    It is a phenomenal bookstore that does wonders for local artists giving them platforms they otherwise would not get.

    Great story all around.

    ETA, I’d recognize that logo anywhere, been driving by it my whole life.




  • I’m literally claiming reality. Scuttling an invitation from the speaker of the House is absolutely stifling free speech. I’ve never made the claim. It’s a constitutional violation you’d have to be in absolute moron to interpret my comment that way.

    There are many ways to stifle Free speech. I see people making that claim regarding the chance for intifada college campuses. Being an expression of free speech. I’m amused and fascinated by the people claiming that shutting down an encampment that’s calling for in intifada which is unquestionably. A violent action is stifling Free speech. Well they have issues with a politician being invited to speak before Congress.





  • The reasoning is abundantly clear. The speaker of the House quite literally by definition is in charge of who speaks before the house. Undermining and subverting the invitation of someone to speak before Congress is absolutely limiting free speech before the American public.

    That you’re trying to make this a legal argument, proves to me that you understand the problem here. I’m not claiming this is a legal issue. This is a moral issue and the Democrats who constantly claim moral superiority have lost credibility with this action. If they have a problem with what a foreign leader has to say then they should take to the floor with a rebuttal. Well, over half of Americans support this particular Ally. American people have jobs that are entirely independent on the support of this. Ally. Throwing a hissy fit and refusing to allow someone of that stature to speak before Congress is a very sad demonstration of weakness.

    Holding people at the border and arresting peaceful protesters are also examples of stifling Free speech. Both can be true regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum. It’s wild to me watching liberals turning into the scaredy cats that they claim. The conservatives are with actions like this. Hardly progressive.
