It was valid speculation for someone who hadn't read the article. There's no reason to doubt the sincerity, as journals are pretty awful.

They were ejected for protesting the upcoming speaker. I don't agree with it, but it wasn't for criticizing Trump.

Language differences always have deep cultural explanations and aren't just due to minor historical contingencies. Once a language change has locked into place, the associated cultural connection infects future users.

Next up: Why do Americans say things like "I wash my hands" while Spanish speakers say "Lavo los manos" (meaning wash the hands)? Probably something to do with end-stage capitalism and ownership.

Yes, through a bake sale.

If you just read the headline, it sounds like Albanese must be pro-slavery.

When people talk about punching Nazis in the face, they are talking (mostly) about people who were not even alive in the 1940s, let alone official members of the Nazi Party. They're talking about people who are in the modern right wing, or centrists, or in some cases liberal Democrats.

They advocate punching such people in the face because their hateful rhetoric can lead to violence.

You're the one connecting the celebration of bombing and "murdering" (I guess you think acts of war and judicial executions are murder) Nazis in the past to punching Nazis now. I think it wasn't OK to stab this victim even if he called the other guy a slur for Pakistanis. But others advocate extrajudicial acts of violence against "Nazis" where it's their rules and perceptions that determine who is a Nazi and who is not.

Bombing Birmingham because it might have some people with Nazi-adjacent political opinions seemed like a logical extension of your train of thought. You were mocking me for thinking punching Nazis is wrong because it was celebrated to kill actual Nazis during war and for crimes against humanity 80 years ago. So let's resume the bombings then.

I don't think we should stab or punch people because we suspect they are Nazis. If they commit a crime, let the criminal justice system take care of it. I'm not in favor of vigilantism.

Noted. We should be bombing Hampshire.

Isn't that how Jaffar was ultimately defeated?

I was going to post a satirical comment about how the Mossad must be involved in this. Never mind. No need to highlight how warped many of the viewpoints here are.

A world in which it's ok to punch Nazis in the face because no one ever makes a mistake.
