I think I understand what they mean. Trump is not a racist ideologue. He's not a "capital R" Racist, the way Hitler was. He's racist and his racism influences everything he does of course. But that's "lowercase r" racist. It's not what defines him, it's just one of his characteristics, maybe not even his most defining one.

It will keep getting worse, yes, but we can still impact how many generations down the line that will keep happening. That's what's hard at this point: giving a shit about descendants we will never meet.

For fuck's sake, It's not the ban I care about.

Man, this is hopeless. You've pigeonholed me, made up your mind and that's it. You perceive this whole interaction as me moaning about the ban, so you dismiss anything I have to say and talk down on me. This isn't a discussion for you, there is no chance to communicate here anything. Bah.

@jordanlund@lemmy.world you're answering other things up and down the thread, but I haven't heard from you. After this explanation do you still maintain that this post, that was apparently the straw that broke the camel's back and got me banned, was "advocating violence"?

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right.

As in Right wing.

Rutte's ass kissing went to his head, he thinks he's the world's "daddy".

Sure, but the question is if it owns enough to make the bite hurt.

The world? No, it's the US.

What do you mean not everyone knows the filmography of Bernardo Bertolucci?! /s Yea, my bad. It's a great movie, you should watch it.

Yes in principle, which is why it shouldn't be minimized. Corollary: the fact that it is should not in itself be used to minimize it ("ah it's all shit, so why do you complain about it").

Yes, but Jews in general don't have anything to do with that. That's an Israeli Zionist tactic and it's very important to make that distinction.

“The Israeli prime minister came here today and said that Israel is surrounded by those who want to destroy it,” Safadi said at a Friday press conference shortly after Netanyahu finished his speech at the UN General Assembly.

“We’re here — members of the Muslim-Arab committee, mandated by 57 Arab and Muslim countries — and I can tell you very unequivocally, all of us are willing to guarantee the security of Israel in the context of Israel ending the occupation and allowing for the emergence of a Palestinian state,” Safadi passionately argued.

Netanyahu “is creating that danger because he simply does not want the two-state solution. If he does not want the two-state solution, can you ask Israeli officials what is their end-game — other than just wars and wars and wars?”

Also, video of the statement.

 

TFW you support Israel so much that you start treating Palestinian children just like they do.

 

Turns out Abbé Pierre was a creep... This is like learning Mohter Theresa was a sexual predator.

 

According to Barbara Bedont, Alkhdour's lawyer, the charges come from a protest that took place last Thursday in front of the Liberal campaign office, with Miller nearby. Bedont said Alkhdour was packing her belongings after the protest, when Miller showed up in a vehicle. She said Alkhdour approached the vehicle and "expressed her feelings about his policies." "They said 'shame on you' and 'you're a child killer.' Things like that — political speech," the lawyer said, adding that Miller was in the vehicle the whole time before it drove off. She said the interaction lasted about five seconds, with Alkhdour standing about a metre away from the vehicle, and the other two people charged standing further back. "At no time was he ever threatened," Bedont said. "There was no violence. It was a purely peaceful expression of her political views."

Alkhdour's protests began shortly after the death of her 13-year-old daughter, Jana Elkahlout, who was born with cerebral palsy. Alkhdour, her husband and two of her children moved to Quebec in 2019, and started the process of bringing Jana to Canada, after she was forced to stay in Gaza due to the unavailability of safe ambulance travel between there and Egypt. After years of trying to get her daughter to come to Canada, the family finally received the green light from the federal government in January, but Jana was already dead.
