I think there is something to be said for simply making a positive out of incivility - which doesn't necessarily mean violence, contrary to those with...

You don't know the Australians I do. And as it turns out, I don't actually think the world revolves around my immediate environment. And yes, I realiz...

Your response to the idea that there are politics beyond civil discourse was to immediately reach for the alarm bell of fascism, and transplant your i...
February 21, 2022 at 11:23
Certaintly. Because you have made it a point of pride to gauge your eyes out over other distinctions that escape this poorly drawn turnstile. It's a l...
February 21, 2022 at 10:45
Sure, but politics requires risk. There's this liberal impulse to insulate oneself and others from risk entirely, as if following abstract, content-in...
February 21, 2022 at 10:23
This is one of those sweet little liberal talking points that can only get trotted out by someone who has never given a moment's thought to the issue....

It isn't. Because one literally has to live in fantasy land and ignore the entirity of human history to believe this. That what you wrote is patently ...
February 18, 2022 at 20:31
I don't. Civil discourse has no value in and of itself. You don't "civil discourse" your way out of fascism. There is a time and place for incivility,...

"Polarization" is one of those nice media-friendly buzzwords that gets alot of airtime because it commits publications to nothing whatsoever, politica...

Oh wow, I wrote this without looking, but of course: https://nypost.com/2022/02/14/us-offers-ukraine-1-billion-loan-to-support-economy-amid-tensions-w...

I've never quite been so terrified of a silhouette before.
February 11, 2022 at 01:57
Yes that must be it, very good. Anyway, Israel should probably stop kidnapping children and beating random old men on the street to death for funsies.
February 07, 2022 at 02:43
Jesus, good luck.
February 07, 2022 at 02:42
Here I was wanting to end apartheid because it is an unmitigated evil. But you can continue making excuses for it if you like. I wonder if people thou...
February 07, 2022 at 02:40
Oh cool, so let's end apartheid now then. Nice to be in agreement.
February 07, 2022 at 02:28
"If you want to end apartheid you are a bigot" loooooool
February 07, 2022 at 02:27
Lol, yeah, you speak for Jews: they necessarily need to kidnap, destroy, torture, and extra-judicially kill. Perhaps you'd like to quote the Protocols...
February 07, 2022 at 02:16
Oh what's wrong? Don't like gratuitous accusations of anti-seministm? Given that you're a supporter of Israeli apartheid who argues for it's necessity...
February 07, 2022 at 02:06
No, you're just an anti-semite who equates Israel's existence with "necessary" mass suffering. Once you break that fake link, all of what you say is t...
February 07, 2022 at 01:53
Everytime this moron posts something, just remind him that he is reponding to the fact that Israel is committing crimes against humanity. That's the t...
February 07, 2022 at 01:34
"Israel should stop its murderous apartheid regime". E: "You are literally advocating for the establishment of a murderuous (sic) aparthaid (sic) stat...
February 06, 2022 at 17:53
That's the one single good thing about apartheid. It is a moral acid which nicely exposes those who would abuse words to support mass suffering. You'r...
February 06, 2022 at 16:16
Only one paragraph this time? I'm disappointed. Anyway apartheid is an unmitigated evil and should be stopped immediately. Just a single sentence. So ...
February 06, 2022 at 15:49
More words to say you are an apartheid supporter. Keep going, by all means.
February 06, 2022 at 15:40
This is alot of words to say that you are an apartheid supporter.
February 06, 2022 at 15:21
It's just hilarious to me that the latest strategy in the face of unavoidable evidence that Israel is an apartheid state is to grasp the nettle and th...
February 06, 2022 at 07:49
More paragraphs please. Anyway, Israeli apartheid is an unconditional evil and should end immediately. That's my uncontroversial statement of the day....
February 06, 2022 at 06:23
Lol.
February 06, 2022 at 06:04
End apartheid now. Everything else - i.e. all of what you've said - is just so much apologist bullshit.
February 06, 2022 at 06:01
The idea that Israel's existence is premised on kidnapping children, bulldozing houses, and extra-judicial murder is more anti-semetic than anything I...
February 06, 2022 at 05:42
Stop apartheid. Sorry that you seem so morally unclear about this.
February 06, 2022 at 05:29
I am happy to discuss Israeli interests. Like ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism. The only one avoiding the issue seems to be you.
February 06, 2022 at 05:26
Critique Palestinians all you like. In the meantime, sucks about the murdeous Israeli state.
February 06, 2022 at 05:18
Again, not my problem.
February 06, 2022 at 05:14
This isn't the winning point you think it is.
February 06, 2022 at 05:11
There has been a very conveniently published Amnesty report on the issue. You should read it. Very vivid. Not full of obfuscatory bullshit words like ...
February 06, 2022 at 05:01
Lol, cute change of subject. Anyway, back to Israeli apartheid.
February 06, 2022 at 04:48
Seems like a problem for Israel.
February 06, 2022 at 04:40
So Israel can only exist on the basis of mass suffering of others?
February 06, 2022 at 04:36
If your existence as a state is premised upon opression, then you forfeit your right to exist. In any case, you're abstracting again. "Opression", "In...
February 06, 2022 at 04:34
Yeah, can't ask Israel to stop doing apartheid without 'removing myself from conversation'. Propagandist clown.
February 06, 2022 at 04:12
Yes. Next point.
February 06, 2022 at 04:08
Because if your response to "Israel is comitting crimes against humanity" is "yes but security" then nothing you say deserves to be taken seriously an...
February 06, 2022 at 04:05
Ooh no not a terrorist incident 20 years ago!! Guess Israel has to do an apartheid now.
February 06, 2022 at 04:00
Oooo no not the PLO charter!! Never mind Israeli everyday murder then. Shut up with these stupid hasbara talking points.
February 06, 2022 at 03:54
Ah, see, I have a problem with actual apartheid, and not just the word apartheid. Your allergy to words rather than actions explains your continued at...
