Nothing pisses me off more than political correctness no free speech and terrible reddit mods

[–] Wide_Challenge3880@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Full freedom of speech is an awful idea. If I go into an airport and start threatening to bomb the plane I’m about to get on, I’m going to have consequences for what I said

[–] awfullyhotcoffeepot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Pure free speech is nice conceptually but it’s ultimately not conducive to an ideal society. Things like hate speech laws in the UK go against free speech but ultimately protect marginalised communities from persecution and allow everyone to feel safe.

Being tolerant towards the intolerant leads to disaster

[–] Nihilism101@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's the tolerant paradox.

Threatening an entire race by wishing them “a dark day” is a little different

[–] Nightwingx97@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

it's a religion not a race btw. Tells you about who's believing zionist propaganda iq

Title is so inviting for Reddit comedians

Kids who might only play fifa think this is one of the greatest allround players of all time

EA always gives him the most juiced cards for no apparent reason

[–] BertEnErnie123@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

And always these random positons aswell. He is just one of the sweet childs, same as Rashford and Mbappe, and in the past also Aouar. And there are obviously more that get way to many cards, but these came to mind first

Being critical of what Israel is doing right now is completely fine and I am certainly a supporter of the palestinian struggle, but platforming a preacher calling for a "dark day" for all jews is not something that should be supported either. It's a shame that so many people can't seem to differ between jewish people and israel, it just makes it so much easier for israel to hide behind the "antisemitism" argument whenever their actions are called into question. However, antisemitism is still a big issue in the pro-palestinian camp.

[–] GoatBass@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

You mean kinda how Israelis can't see the difference between people stuck in an open air prison versus Hamas sympathizers?

[–] nedzissou1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, they're just as wrong as the preacher.

[–] GoatBass@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not about that. It's how anyone supporting the freedom of Palestinians is treated to a draconian moral standard where the messaging always has to be perfect. Whereas Zionist politicians can openly say hateful things and at best get a handwriting non-response from the US.

[–] FL8_JT26@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The messaging doesn't have to be perfect it just can't be 'kill all the jews', it's not exactly a high bar.

Perfect reply

[–] Elothel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Which is weird considering an „open air prison" is usually defined as a ghetto.

If most of the anti Israel really cared about the Palestinians, you’d get the same amount of people protesting wrongs in Saudi, Yemen, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, slave trade in Libya etc.

Instead you get 10-20x more interest because a lot of these protestors are actually antisemite using this as a platform to spew their hatred.

Are there decent people? Sure. However just by looking at the magnitude of difference between this conflict and any other conflict should tell you that something else is driving it

I can’t believe placing a giant religious symbol in the middle of the flag is causing people to conflate the two.

Man when you see people on Reddit here, you thank god everyday that they just represent a veeeery small portion of the population lol, because the reality is completely different from what I read here.

[–] rztzzz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think it’s the opposite. This place is anonymous, so people can speak more freely than open society.

The comment was so anti-Semitic that even this sub's mental gymnastics may struggle to cover for him.

[–] revenge_of_hamatachi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Its funny how those who say they are simply trying to defend Palestinian people always seem to revert to open antisemitism and Khaybar ya yahud chants.

No calling out the terrorist attack in Ireland?

[–] Elias98x@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
