Lightning Lord posted:Why do you think he likes Kushner so much? It isn't because he's loving his daughter, that's for drat sure. That's exactly what it is, he sees Kushner as a younger version of himself. He's a dullard real estate investor with a rich dad who also wants to gently caress Ivanka, so he's not wrong!

One thing people need to understand about extreme far right Jews is that when they look at a modern white supremacist, they don't see someone who would have put them in the loving ovens in Germany. They see someone who will help them oppress and kill Muslims. Levant isn't lying when he says there were Jews at his event. He's loving one of them after all.

infernal machines posted:Is this a thing we needed to stand against in this country? Sometimes I declare to my wife that we have just converted to hardcore Islamism and we are now abiding by sharia law so she needs to do what I say without arguing any further and then she usually tells me to gently caress off and I explain that she can't say that and is property now which seems to only inflame the situation to the point of ridiculousness and we laugh and make up and then I declare we are back to atheism for now. Verdict: Not a national cultural threat/trump card for all domestic arguments. Yet.

To be fair, far-right Israelis/Jews are basically 99% on board with the white supremacist movement, with the notable disagreement as to "are Jews white?" I mean, Israel was literally sterilizing Ethiopian Jews without their consent for a time. Zionism itself bears the unfortunate marks of, shall we say in this context, European supremacy -- even Modern Hebrew bears the marks of European influence, if you look at phonetics and vocabulary -- so it should be no surprise that the result of the Zionist movement has itself incorporated a great deal of the racism that was present in the society from whence it came. The good news is that there are lots of Jewish people, and lots of Israelis, who recognize what's happening and realize that Islamophobia is no different in essence than the anti-Semitism that lead to the Holocaust. They don't hold political power right now, sadly, but I don't think all hope is lost. Baronjutter posted:I thought the term "w*rking cl*ss" was banned in Canadian political thought.

I'm actually kind of shocked so many people listened to/listen to radio. I think the last time I listened to the radio as more than background noise was to hear Flames games before I was allowed to have a TV in my bedroom. RIP dude I've never heard of, but apparently a lot of people cared about

I really don't understand why out of all the horrible poo poo Israel does, people feel the need to straight up lie about that. Sterilization is a real word with a real meaning, and pretending that birth control is the same thing as sterilization just makes you look like a lying rear end in a top hat.

Yeah yeah, giving depo provera that has pretty lovely side effects to people without telling them for decades is "not that bad" because they're black and will breed like rabbits (conveniently ignores the Haredim breeding like rabbits)  Edit: though it is true it isn't sterilization, which we Canadians are more familiar with when native women go in for surgery in the prairies

Marijuana Nihilist posted:This is a pretty good essay though and I don't really see the author having a problem with political correctness so much as being concerned over whether or not transsexuality actually upholds gender norms rather than subverting them? For example: In a sea of terrible arguments, this one made my jaw drop. "It's the trans activists who are enforcing an unnecessary binary! Also, you had better not ask me to use your made up pronouns like they!" e: speaking of trans issues, I wonder if there's any new about why the second reading on C-16 hasn't wrapped up... it's the goddamn tories posted:“Adjourning bills can be used as a mechanism of delay, and such practice does not do our institution credit,” [Representative of the Government in the Senate Peter Harder] pointed out. “Our chamber must deliberate … but we must also decide,” he added. “We must remember that each day a bill like this is adjourned, justice is denied.” Although Harder stopped short of formally serving notice that he’s prepared to attempt to force an end to the debate by invoking closure, he made it clear that he hasn’t ruled it out. “In situations where the critic of a bill does not speak within a reasonable time frame, the rules ultimately afford this chamber remedies to move forward the people’s business, and ought to be used.” The Dark One fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Feb 16, 2017 |

Don Plett got upset that another senator called him a bigot for the poo poo he's been pulling on the trans bills. He even whined about it on Twitter. I took the opportunity to call him a transphobic bigot to his face on there.

Eh factory workers used to make good money. They were still working class. Working refers to the job type more than to the salary. As long as you're not the 1% or the homeless, you're still also middle class.

All it means when they say "working class" is "I want you to view me as a champion of regular people, not at all as an out of touch politician." "Middle class" means "tax cuts for business at the cost of poor people!" Just two different pitches of dog whistle
