This anti-colonialist language keeps going wrong:

edit: This guy is great, can see why they made him a leader.

This will obviously not end well, it's just a matter of how long it will take to collapse...

Strange bedfellows

The plan: convince the girls at these rallies to go on a hunger strike. Domino effect. They get thin, they lose interest in activism, they leave. Without that incentive, the men will disperse. Clear our 90% of them.

This anti-colonialist language keeps going wrong:

I like how at first he says "zionists don't deserve to live...comfortably" and you're like wait a minute is this one of those misleading tweets that misquotes someone on purpose or takes them out of context

then 2 seconds later  

I imagine throngs of people rushing to defend him, "he didn't say that!!" who just didn't watch long enough 

[Besticus Maximus]

My observation is that camp is built into fascism

[HaughtyFrank]

"Go back to Poland" becoming an actual argument?

Well actually he mispoke

I am frustrated that words I said in an Instagram Live video have become a distraction from the movement for Palestinian liberation. I misspoke in the heat of the moment, for which I apologize.

Australian Muslims would like to be able to do religiously motivated violence without it being called terrorism. 

An alliance of peak Islamic groups has called for Australia's terrorism laws to be changed, to remove the concept of "religiously motivated terrorism" from the legislation.

It comes as a sixth teenager, aged 15, was charged after counterterrorism raids were carried out in Sydney on Wednesday. 

Five teenagers, aged 14 to 17, were previously charged with several offences and are before the courts.

In a statement, the Australian National Imams Council, the Alliance of Australian Muslims and the Australian Muslim Advocacy Network said it was necessary to "avoid simplistic attributions that target specific communities".

The group's spokeswoman Ramia Abdo Sultan said terrorism was driven by political ideology and not religion.

"The presumption that terrorism is inherently tied to religion is not only inaccurate but harmful," Ms Abdo Sultan told a press conference.

Well, when your religion is shown to be capable of the separation of church and state someone might listen. Until then, eat shit.

I mean, it's not the presumption, hence why it's "religiously motivated" instead of just terrorism.

"The use of charged language such as "religiously motivated Sunni violent extremism" by the Director-General of ASIO Mike Burgess, particularly during sensitive times ... fuels Islamophobia and further marginalises the Muslim community," she said.

"This approach undermines social cohesion and perpetuates the stigmatisation of an entire religious group based on the actions of a few."

I'd say social cohesion is mostly undermined by a teenager stabbing a priest live on camera

It stopped being funny when they dropped laughing at everyone and became the left's Babylon Bee.
I don't see it improving much under desinformation specialist Ben Collins.

Same thing happened to almost every satirical news site around Trump's presidency. They all decided that they wanted to be left wing political activists and forgot to be funny.

They couldn't do videos anymore for years because of financial costs until recently, but they still do some good stuff although it's mostly talking heads:



And everything with Peter Rosenthal:


Sex House is one of my favorite things they ever did but that kind of production was years ago:

They couldn't even do stuff like the faux-cooking clips when they ran into that financial crunch:

You shut your mouth! Kelly alone is funnier than everyone at the Babylon Bee combined.
