So when a bunch of not-law-enforcement goes around bashing people with sticks, Mr. Law and Order here says they "finally step up".

These protests are clearly a non military attack on Israel. I would think there would have been a larger presence of counter protests by now.

The counterprotestors could have tried occupying the piece of grass nearby and putting up some tents and signs instead of throwing bricks and hitting people with clubs, but you know, the right worships violence.

Hey can we maybe get a moratorium on Lucio posting literal Neo-Nazi memes ITT? Thanks in advance.

I don't think I can ban someone when he is citing the meme as a negative example of right-wing antisemitism. If he had endorsed the sentiment expressed in the meme, I would have perma'd him.

I googled Richard Hanania and his charming fans like to talk about whether or not he has Jew blood in him.

Kelhus is a Hanania superfan. He insists that we should look past the fact that Hanania had a long history of writing explicitly racist opinion pieces under a pseudonym on VDARE, Richard Spencer's website, and on a lot of other hate sites.

Kelhus is also untroubled by the fact that Hanania called black people "animals" in a post on X less than a year ago.

Seems like a bad-faith actor could just post a lot of Nazi **** and pretend it's just for educational purposes, but w/e.

Yeah apparently there's one specific girl that got hurt (pro Israel side) that was apparently the straw that broke the camel's back and brought the violence later.

In the end I'd say the school not breaking this up way soon is definitely the main issue. They'll be sued by both sides now.

These Universities should have known that these "peaceful protests" would eventually turn ugly.

One quote from a fan who speculated that he might be part Jew on his mother's side.

These are serious allegations, and I'd love to be wrong.

You have just basically described Victor

Yeah this much is true. This was handled in the backward way those congressional hearings were.

This is how you know his Nazi fans aren't too bright. The name and the curly hair should have been a giveaway.

Dunno if you think that post bothers Trolly (not that it was your intention), but it doesn't. Trolly hates Victor.

I don't think that was what was happening in this particular instance.

People like JackHi have tried that schtick and gotten perma'd.

Not sure what you're getting at there.

Reminds me of a guy who worked with me (well, for me) one time and I was talking about Sophie's Choice I think and mentioned Peter MacNicol and he said, "oh, the guy with the curly Jew hair"....and then realized what he was saying was not really cool. Was not a big deal to me. He was a good guy.


by microbet

Trolly hates Victor.

Hate's a strong word here. I think he lacks media literacy and his schtick is counterproductive but mostly I'm annoyed and not filled with rage.

I'm surprised the zionists haven't kicked the Palestinians out of their encampments and put their own tents down.

Hanania is a Hebrew name, is it not?

you should show some of these Nazi posts

they are def counterproductive to making you feel good about your love of the Dems and liberalism

once again, someone who cant point to single post that illustrates what he declares

That cowardly **** about no-go zones in San Diego left an impression and I can't be far off, but it's possible I misjudged you very slightly. Sometimes you're funny. A 100% authoritarian rwnj has no sense of humor.

Or Arabic. He's a Palestinian Christian. I was more talking about the curly hair thing.

You have basically described most of us


right, well most of you love genocide and apartheid so ofc you wont like me as I am anti-genocide.


by microbet

I don't think it's out of line to say his appearance and name are pretty consistent what what you'd expect a guy with ancestry from the region to look like. It's very funny that the Nazis don't clock that their hero isn't quite as Aryan as they expected.


lol hes weird looking


Mods, would we perm people who said someone like raped? Like say someone kept publicly saying I liked and supported the act of rape, would we be ok with that?

Because I gotta think genocide is a decent level up from rape, and rape is bad enough.
