It’s quite lucrative. There’s quite a few big anti-Muslim ones too, including pseudo-centrist groups like Quilliam (Maajid Nawaz, the alt-rights favorite Muslim because he panders to their bigoted narratives). Not to be confused with Quillette, an online magazine that hosts similarly bigoted pseudo-scholars like…

You can argue for less immigration on purely policy terms. It’s possible. I don’t think it’s even close to persuasive, and I doubt most other people will either, but it can be done and every now and then you’ll read a smart and humane take on the issue. But that’s not what CIS does. Their arguments are designed to…

Every time CIS, FAIR, or NumbersUSA is cited in a mainstream article I want to scream. Politico does it all the time, despite generally being higher in quality. They usually call them “groups that advocate for less immigration” or some other cowardly euphemism. They are all racist groups. They were founded and…

Even if she was selling something, why would you call the cops? Those jobs suck, they don’t want to be there any more than you do.

I’m not quite as sure, because while there have been plenty of terrible right wing governments here and elsewhere since WWII, this backslide into fairly open fascistic rhetoric and logic isn’t that same pattern. It’s fair to say this is a different style of the same harmful behaviors, but the fact that the different…

I’ve dismissed him 20 times in other threads and a few times here. But sometimes the point is better made by letting the bigot hang himself with his own rope. He got what he wanted, but he did his act on a bigger stage than usual, and that suits me in the long term. He’s been harassing me for so long I think making…

It’s not, but what you do is trolling, right down to parroting “disagreement is not trolling” which you’ll see on a thousand trollish Twitter accounts. Even neo-Nazis get in on that mendacious line.

This is a provable lie. The amount of blood is nowhere near equivalent. Israelis kill far more Palestinians directly, and when looking at indirect causes the count is massively one-sided.

You use the same troll account and do this over and over. People have seen multiple times that “sober and reasonable” is just your particular brand of trolling. One most people are familiar with.

Finally, an idea even the Trump administration looked at and said “That’s not a good idea”.

To be honest, I wouldn’t apply it their either. It’s such a lazy trope. It’s a way to wave off real analysis and details in favor of an easy narrative. Those intellectual shortcuts are bad, no matter where applied, though it’s particularly pernicious when they get lazily applied somewhere like the Middle East where…

Completely historically illiterate.

Anyone with a shred of integrity should ignore the racist pompous troll Max Contrarian. It knows nothing and shouts lie constantly. 

Oh look, we have neo-Nazi cunt #2 (apologies to anyone offended by the word, but if you look up the British usage, it is quite literally the perfect word for these vile and pathetic creatures). 

This is pure ahistorical bullshit. The whole “the Middle East has been locked in war for centuries and they’ve hated each other for centuries” thing is one of the most highly criticized bits of Orientalist logic and myths that still exists. Every MENA specialist learns to roll their eyes at it.

Your comment makes abundantly clear you have never engaged in “honest debate” nor are you familiar with the details of the policies you’re sitting here whitewashing. You’re vomiting out right wing cliches that fail to match the reality. 

Plenty of them are. The history of racism against Mizrahi Jews within Israel, most of them Arabic speakers, is worth being aware of. Just like the Irish turning on blacks in the US to get the approval of the white upper classes, Mizrahi Jews are now some of the most vocal haters of Palestinians and Arabs, and in…

A sub blog here takes away the stuff I worked so hard on. Plus I’ve already paid the hosting and domain stuff.

Here’s a fun corrollary to this.

Please stop feeding the neo-Nazi troll. There is no discussion with that sick abusive fuck.
