Shillmuncher still MIA from the LRG CD thread, half tempted to tag him on twitter with a link to the thread asking why he’s not replied yet for the shits and giggles

He works PR for them so he is in the thread in some fashion already

I'm getting closer and closer to not voting status.

Like I said, they just want him to agree with them. They have no capacity to understand nuance at all. He's the president, he's not gonna side with you. 

What he said is perfectly fine. hell, AOC if she was president will say the same thing.

Edit: These assholes whining wouldn't even have voted for him anyway. Not in 2020 and definitely not in 2024.

Watching the “protesters” standing docilely by as the cops casually removed their barricade was all the proof necessary they were rich kids larping.

[HaughtyFrank]

Just more of the same anti-protest bullshit we hear from fucking conservatives. "You have a right to protest, but you have to do it in a way that doesn't disrupt anyone." Obligatory calling protesters antisemitic for opposing a fucking genocide.

Online radicalization in real time

If only it was that simple

Instead you got guys yelling about how great Hamas is and the protesters cheering him on and I don't see a single fucker on RE denouncing or even acknowledging this

The international group defines antisemitism as "a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews" and gives examples of the definition's application, which includes "accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagine wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group" and making " dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective."

Oh I see why the collective nation of Resetera hates it

Utterly ghoulish bill that waters down what antisemitism is and in putting in a legal definition for it is so rigid that for example, vandalising a synagogue isn't antisemitism. I fucking hate this shit

Edit: I think I misread this.

this is why many of us say things like hate speech laws should never be passed in the USA, what seems like a good idea is very easy to turn against you.

Free speech is free speech. When I was growing up a common saying was "I do not agree with what you are saying, but I will defend your right to say it". You rarely hear that anymore, if you hear something you don't agree with it should be banned is an idea that is repugnant to me personally.

To me if the only way to fight words is with the use of power (government) that is fascist behavior. The way to fight words is with better words. Violence or the government has no part in it. The government should only exist to ensure no violence occurs between the exchanges of free speech.

[Nintex]

Many people are saying that Sleepy Joe is a genocider like in that movie Mad Max, make sure you stay SAFELY indoors, wear your MASK proudly, tell your mom to mind her own business and whatever you do, tear up your ballot and DON'T VOTE especially if you live in a swing state. Remember if you don't vote the genocide will STOP. VERY IMPORTANT!!

Uh, I want to absolutely make sure I'm understanding this right; is your position that there should absolutely be no protections against any kind of hate speech?

I hate that the first amendment protects hate speech but honestly laws that punish hate speech can be turned around on the people they were intended to protect. Like now we're apparently treating criticism of Israel and wanting a genocide to end hate as speech.

[Propagandhim]

They wanted this.  They got it.   FrEEzE PeaCh.  They're the reason bad policy like this passes.

The US isn't some unicorn incapable of handling hate-speech laws. We know how hate-speech laws can be implemented, this isn't sorcery.

This bill isn't truly a hate-speech bill. It's using the language of hate-speech laws to prohibit any criticism of the Israeli state. That's why it's fucked up.

You'll never get through to these people in a million years.  They're simply incapable of understanding.

You are saying this but Europeans still bitch about it when they affect them politically.

[Propagandhim]

Wait wait wait no not like that!

[Boredfrom]

May not be hate speech laws, but the forum that detects dog whistles everywhere is incapable of realizing why people would consider this protests antisemitic even if they dislike Israel’s government. Not Gullet tried to explain it to them, and got banned, dude user is critical of his government but needs to be careful on how it words it in the Hamas fan club thread. Is a fucking waste of time to bitch about Zionism if you truly care about getting Palestines the help they need.

Also, they can bitch about Israel conditioning everyone to see antisemitism everywhere, but they like to play the game (or ignored it) when is convenient:

[HaughtyFrank]

It's funny because that sounds similar to how the ACLU recently tried to defend themselves for firing an Asian lady

Basically saying that it doesn't matter if it was meant to be racist or not, what matters is that people felt it was racist.

This has always been the final destination of the kind of politics RE pushes but now they're upset because they never imagined that they could be the ones who are called antisemites

[Nintex]

Their legal definition can never keep up with our memes, unfortunately the left is not so lucky and doesn't have such nimble navigators or 4D chess skills.

[kaleidoscopium]

as mentioned already the IHRA definition this adopts has faced a lot of contention and there's a much better, more scholarly definition of antisemitism:

What’s funny is that Era fails quite a few of these as well  

B. Israel and Palestine: examples that, on the face of it, are antisemitic

Applying the symbols, images and negative stereotypes of classical antisemitism (see guidelines 2 and 3) to the State of Israel.

Requiring people, because they are Jewish, publicly to condemn Israel or Zionism (for example, at a political meeting).

Denying the right of Jews in the State of Israel to exist and flourish, collectively and individually, as Jews, in accordance with the principle of equality.

Also, thread locked!

Locking thread while we review reports.

For the handful of children who relied on their cellphones to manage anxiety, Illing created a weaning-off plan. Those students could come to a school office where administrators would unlock their pouches. Within weeks, it was no longer necessary.

  

I mean, social anxiety is a real thing, but people are supposed to overcome this like this rather than play the perpetual needy asshole. It is shitty that parents are actually indoctrinating children to this mentality.

If any of you guys are familiar with YikYak, all of these centrist freaks on campus who are against us are hiding behind anonymity and accusing us of "stealing donations". Lmao. First off, faculty and supporters are the ones willingly cooking us food, providing us with supplies, etc. Secondly, all monetary donations from us and outside sources go towards the Palestinian people.

But it's really the anonymity that pisses me off. If you have something to say about us, then say it to our fucking faces. Loser ass idiots.

I could be wrong, but I believe that providing financial support to hamas - literally defined as a terrorist organisation under US law - is actually a federal crime, and with the track record of aid actually reaching the palestinian people and not the cunts buying rockets with money for starving children I am very curious how they are vetting those donations

That's sort of been Hamas MO from the start, they have mosques and religious groups collecting money for them in Europe and now various left wing NGOs too. They used the money to buy weapons and training from Russia/Wagner and hired Chinese contractors to build tunnels. 
They were also embedded in the UNRWA and EU countries announced they would freeze funding to the UNRWA however in most cases after the scandal left the headlines EU countries feared protests so the donations have continued as normal pending the official UN investigation which can only be completed after the war is over.

So yes, laws have been broken just like with the Russian and Iranian sanctions but what are we going to do about it, arrest the UN?
