You got an actual criticism of his record, or are you just being a shitheel again?

Stop. Just stop. I see this talking point a lot and it’s disingenuous and I loathe it. “Anti-Semitism” as a term has a specific meaning and ignoring that doesn’t help anyone. Just like “Islamophobia”, the term in a vacuum has problems but the functional definition has a clear meaning.
I saw this on Twitter, thought it was pretty honorable, but mostly worried they’d get harassed off the platform. The most bigoted and vocal section of Israeli racists are pretty prominent on Twitter.
Fun story, I just had to delete my Twitter account the other day because a writer from the Atlantic linked to a notorious bigot from the race-science loving “magazine” Quillette, who then flooded my account with abuse from far-right trolls. The writer then blocked me, after rather dishonestly croaking that he doesn’t…
Turning around a struggling city from an executive position is, honestly, probably more relevant expertise than a dozen years in the House learning how to fund-raise and, outside of a plum committee chairmanship or leadership position, not actually doing much (which covers a lot of House members and too many in the…
I don’t really think that viewpoint holds up if you look at say, Pakistan. Or Sri Lanka. Or any of the Central Asian countries key to the BRI project. In Pakistan alone the amount of power China has built up really invalidates the idea that China doesn’t attach strings. Much of the economic/development aid is going to…
He wants his base energized and praising him. It’s been consistent for awhile now; he takes actions that please his base and risk wider support. He’s very rarely strayed from that path, despite the hand-wringing of the GOP intellectual class. His base is incredibly loyal and pretty much already at their floor of…
I’m not certain about that. There are too many strings attached to Chinese aid, and too many present examples of debt entrapment connected to it. As for Russia, their budget simply can’t handle it. Russia can barely pay for their adventuring in Syria. You might get off-and-on bits of goodwill aid but they can’t afford…
He has incredibly good authoritarian instincts. I don’t assume he really grasps his actions, but he knows the result he gets and wants that result.
The cruelty is the point. If anyone didn’t see that article of that title by Adam Serwer at the Atlantic (increasingly trash magazine but Serwer is good) I suggest you look it up.
Thus this racist sack of shit proves he his a hypocrite.
I don’t know if Corbyn personally holds anti-Semitic beliefs or he’s just an incredibly incompetent contrarian, but either way comparing him to Omar is wrong.
Now do anti-Muslim conspiracy theories, and see which one is allowed to be broadcast over the air on a daily basis and which one is rightfully mocked.
Yeah, just the list of Islamic sects and splinter group is a long one, and a lot of them get very little attention outside of explicit Islamic studies. Most people have a very vague idea of Sunni vs Shi’i, though they can’t name the major sects of either (a lot of people mistake Twelver Shi’ites as all Shi’ites). The…
I’ve only done Amtrak on the Northeast corridor, which wasn’t as bad probably because so many more people use it. I had a bus ticket booked for the wrong day from NYC to Baltimore, and couldn’t get another one for at least two more days. I could take Amtrak. It was more expensive (Megabus was like 20 dollars for the…
I can’t count how many times I’ve played this stupid game, just like you, and watch them wilt when they find out I’m a polytheist and my belief system is more complicated than the reductive “God of X” nonsense pushed by Victorian antiquarians with atrociously ignorant views of the past.
In addition to being a racist piece of shit you clearly know nothing about the MENA.
What an arrogant and bigoted charlatan.
No, but you’ll still be a moron, because there’s no way in hell you’ve analyzed “all religion” on anywhere near the depth required to make that massive and bigoted statement.
Go fuck yourself you racist troll. Everyone can see through your capering.
