Weapons grade irony in a conversation where the only group who have a murderous agenda are Hamas and who say the quiet parts out loud.

True and depressing.

Mate, the hole you keep digging for yourself and now descending into flat out biological essentialism. Ashkenazi Jews who migrated to Europe still descend from the same group of Jews that never left the middle east, even if you deny their initial right to a homeland surely you believe that the...

No one apart from psychopaths takes any comfort in the death of innocent people, I agree with you. Apart from the people who were Hamas militants, everyone one of those deaths is a tragedy, for the people killed and the family who mourn them. That is a no-brainer, but what's the counter...

Yes that's my point, it seems you think I am referring to Judaism when I refer to Jews. If it wasn't clear I am referring to the ethnic group which originated as a culture in the Levant and beyond and have been continually displaced over millennia. While some people in the thread have been...

Very nuanced, but not an argument.

Oh so you're one of those people who think Jews are white colonisers from Europe. That explains the one sided cherry picking of history I suppose. Jewish people are without question, indigenous to not only what is currently known as the State of Israel and the Palestinian territories but the...

Hamas is the result of Pan-Islamism that dates back to the 19th century which was an ideology to combat westernisation, the anti-semitism that fuels it's never ending embrace of death and misery for Palestinians dates back to Mohammed. It never ceases to amaze me that well meaning progressive...

While you're accusing people of not having a clue you might want to brush up on your own history, this conflict dates back further than UN resolution 181. The violence that broke out after that was tit for tat, and the violence that broke out on October 7 was a continuation of violence from a...

This non sequitur must be a symptom of the of the level reading comprehension that could interpret anything I've posted as an endorsement of the content of the article. It's just amusing to watch grown ups get outraged about it, it's analogous to the right wing free speech warriors all of a...

Of course you can mate, but I would hope that anyone at least attempting to lead an examined life, would leave open the possibility and a slither of awareness that in doing that you are then mind reading, and very likely on the basis that you think anyone who doesn't share your particular...

"The point I’m trying to make is London used to be a place to where you escaped from school, or “the country”, or the suburbs, or your boring home town as it was adult, it was fun, it was wild — and therefore, yes, dangerous at times (there were more than 200 arrests at Carnival last year). Now...

Not really unless you only read the article and try and guess the content from the headline, it's a diatribe against a creeping nanny state. A perfectly reasonable thing to print in a free society.

I wasn't suggesting that if a Democrat was to behave like Trump they would still be in power, the specific context of my argument which was in reference to Moral Foundations Theory demonstrates how futile it is to try and change someones thinking by without appealing to their emotional position...

It's an interesting one because it was that failed coup and charge of treason and the long trial that ensued that raised Hitler's profile and gave him a national platform, and it was the intensely polarising situation of the ToV and those war guilt clauses fed that situation and created the...

While you can't stop the current prosecutions as they are already in train, I think it would be analogous to declaring him unfit for trial due to diminished responsibility . While I wouldn't typically justify the use a persons mental illness as a political weapon, Trump has demonstrated...

I think the conclusion to your premise here is a large part of the problem with the current political polarisation, it relies on a cartoon of conservatives as extremists while handwaving away any criticism of analogous behaviour on the left creating a cycle of radicalisation that feeds both...

Vivek Ramaswamy has overtaken De Santis now, he's the best GOP option.

Whoever runs for the 2024 Presidential election should confirm prior that they will pardon Trump for the good of the country.

Nah, there is a point where those types of isms have been removed from public and private institutions and you accept that is as far as is practicable in a free society, trying to eliminate every bit of individual bad behaviour on the internet is a one way street to an authoritarian dystopian...
