Re: 3 Palestinian men shot in Vermont
Vermont is a liberal state. In fact it's where the old hippies go to retire. Right now that sort of political view would be in favor of being on the Palestine side.
I got nothing to say here.

And the people actually attacking both are far-right straight white cis men very angry at the "woke" who think current sentiments give them permission to vent their insecurities on someone.

Re: 3 Palestinian men shot in Vermont
Historically its the Left who are anti-semetic not the Right. I'm NOT calling any of you on here anti-semites, but there has also been a very clear and predictable ideological divide on the other thread. Fuzzy himself questioned why the Democrats would ever support Israel, implying that it is a ''Republican thing to do.'' And looking at the people marching through London right now on the pro-Palestine marches, most of them ain't white either.hammerofglass wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 9:50 am And the people actually attacking both are far-right straight white cis men very angry at the "woke" who think current sentiments give them permission to vent their insecurities on someone.
Are you sure that you do not want to reassess that statement? I'm afraid your cis-heterosexual white male bogeyman isn't to blame on this one. That's a typical Left thing too BTW.

Re: 3 Palestinian men shot in Vermont
Oh wait I get it. You're thinking "people who say blowing up babies is wrong" when you say antisemitism, I'm thinking "people who shoot up a synagogue".
Incidentally the idea that not supporting the state of Israel means you're antisemitic is itself antisemitism.

Re: 3 Palestinian men shot in Vermont
There are times when I wonder, whether you are trolling by intent or you ended up with a severe brain injury in between posts. Unless you're one of those people who think that the NSDAP was left-wing, because it carried the words "social" and "worker" in it's name. In that case, you're just stupid. Granted, "the Left" isn't exactly better than "the Right" when it comes to treating the Jews (or minorities in general) a lot of the time, but so far only one side of the woefully-inadequate political left-right-spectrum managed to commit an industrialized genocide and I can tell you first hand: It wasn't the woke folks.clearspira wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 12:13 pmHistorically its the Left who are anti-semetic not the Right.

Nonsense, I read a twitter post from a guy called Nazisarethebest271 who said that woke people are the reason cancer exists. I mean, he said he got cancer from seeing 'two wokies kiss at their wedding' so he HAS to be right.Madner Kami wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 3:24 pmThere are times when I wonder, whether you are trolling by intent or you ended up with a severe brain injury in between posts.

Science Fiction is a genre where anything can happen. Just make sure what happens is enjoyable for yourself and your audience.
