Most of the "Do you support HAMAS?!?!" dipshits believe Hamas is all Palestinians, and that Hamas is a racist caricature of "Islamic Terrorism". Like, you ask a random People of NATO on the street what they think Hamas is, they're going to give you a reply taken straight from racist Charlie Hebdo (may they rest in piss) comics.
I didn't know Charlie Hebdo and this attack were known globally. But worse than their cliché racist comics were all the people saying "Je suis Charlie" (I am Charlie) and having that as a profile picture on Facebookkk
i remember getting told in school how sad and tragic it was and then people doing the facebook avi thing lol it was a wild time
Without getting too deep in to it, CH has pushed race hatred for decades while hiding behind a uniquely French bullshitting about Liberté, égalité, fraternité and "just asking questions"/"it's just a prank bro!"
A few fewer French imperialist propagandists does not bring me tears.
The argument that they also mocked Christians and other religions actually highlights why their claims to be satire are bullshit; Christians in France are not subject to the same systematic racism and violence as Muslims, Algerians, and other minorities. They gleefully engage in and spread systematic violence against vulnerable minorities while hiding behind shallow "We attack everybody"
.
I suppose I should specify; I don't care who attacked them. I'd be just as pleased if a gas explosion did them in or they were hit by a meteorite. I'm not particularly fussed about what brings down my enemies as long as they're dead. I don't think they "deserved it".
You don't need to apologize. Your statement was reasonable based on what you knew. When you were presented with a different perspective you did some investigation and came to a different understanding. That is admirable.
This place truly is an oasis.
I mean yeah, but that's not really relevant to anything he was saying. Let's not do vaguely 'do you condemn Hamas' stuff to comrades. Maybe that's not what you intended, but that's how it reads.
Not saying that this necessarily justifies anything, but a lot of the content put out by Charlie Hebdo was just straight up racist and could not possibly be interpreted in any other way. The idea that all they did was mock religion got heavily pushed by the media after the attack, but it simply isn't true.
Oh, I definitely wouldn't think you would! I just think it's worth pointing out as there are still a lot of people who aren't aware of it.
Unless I missed an edit, I don't see anything like that being said or implied, that's all, so it read to me as introducing the Hebdo shootings as an oddly undermining non-sequitar.
I didn't assume that that was your intention, and I'm glad it wasn't. Maybe my 'between the lines' detector is a bit oversensative today. And I didn't mean to turn this into a tangent about the shootings (quite the opposite in fact), but oops I guess.
You're completely right. I just totally blanked on it. Apologies for that. I think I'm more exhausted than I realise.
I'm like 70 percent sure the guys that shot up CH were funded by the CIA.
