You know, I thought that was a bad but fun movie at first. But now, it’s become satire. The humor has gone from mostly dumb to on point. I’m terrified. 

Ah, yeah, I use youtube for music only and only do rare academic podcasts. So I’m out of those loops.

There are direct ideological and often financial ties between far-right movements. The far-right is not global. Memes and concepts spread. You can argue that all far-right movements tend to be anti-intellectual by definition, but the recent stuff in the UK has strong ties and influence by US patterns of the far-right.…

Chavistas in Venezuela actually make a good one. Generally those are less organized though, and more like the fringes of leftist movements and liberal parties. There’s some deranged leftists in Europe but they don’t really have the power of the AfD or Front National or the like. You could argue under Communism there…

Twitterworld as in “jerks in the responses”? Because wonk Twitter is pretty heavy on Warren. Now obviously, that’s a small part of Twitter, but you’re talking about a lot of journalists, academics, and experts with influence.

America’s weird fetish for anti-intellectualism is so strange. We’ve been exporting it too, Brexit is basically one big example of that mindset spreading through far-right transmission. Other far-right parties in Europe and the world are doing the same, along with some leftist parties that fit into the “radical…

Wow, that’s incredibly dumb and it’s really hard to believe there’s not prejudice behind this at some point. Even for macho fantasy TV this is out there. Did people forget the “Pakistan’s nukes are notoriously poorly guarded” plot? That’s a cliche but hell, most people are dumb they won’t remember.

My parents really enjoyed Kerry. They got out to Aran and enjoyed it too. They also snuck onto the hill that’s all that’s left of a castle an ancestor or ours built. Technically trespassing hah. 

I haven’t had the pleasure yet, but I’ve heard Galway is the best place for a pint.

The Gospels weren’t written in the first century. You are remarkably uninformed about the religion you’re pushing onto others.

The entire patriarchs narrative was created circa 650 BCE, most likely out of the legendary ancestors of multiple different Hebrew-speaking peoples who were then shoved into a single narrative. It’s not historical. It’s littered with anachronisms.

All these ads have done is made me want a Guinness. 

You cannot understand the “tenets” of many Christians without knowing the history you incompetent charlatan. Things like the schism between Chalcedonians and Miaphysites or Iconoclasm are revelant to doctrine. You seem to be one of those people who thinks Christian beliefs were fixed with the New Testament, which is…

You’re putting quite a bit of effort into avoiding explaining the “clear” and “real” differences. Making vague assertions, half of which seem to rely on tonal differences and as I said minutia, really underscores my point.

Then you know very little about history. The Byzantine Empire, the center of Orthodox Christianity, regularly had violence over tiny and mostly irrelevant points of theology. Street violence and wars were fought over issues with no practical and only the barest theological importance.

It would’ve gotten out regardless, the anti-Muslim trolls always pop up on articles like this and support each other.

No, they aren’t vastly different. Bombastic fools like you always think that even though all you monotheists are arguing over minutia in the grand scheme. But, especially for bigoted Christians like you, you’re incapable of understanding the diversity of thought you’re ignorant of.

It actually is true. Arabic-speaking Christians use the word “Allah” as well. The term simply means God. There’s no distinction.

Why would anyone think this would be convincing? The damage from such a stupid error has to be far greater than the benefit of half-assedly trying to justify Trump’s stupidity. 

The whole “Palestinians are corrupt and hateful” narrative really falls apart when you know more than two Israeli politicians. Every bad figure in the PA has a counterpart in Israel, the difference being in Israel they actually have meaningful power. The PA is just a subcontractor of COGAT and the security services at…
