Well, that's the thing, isn't it? You can be a Muslim without necessarily agreeing with how certain governments choose to interpret Islam (see also Christrianity, or for that matter Judaism).

Is it just me that thinks World War Z was a terrible book?

Aye, but the thing about Christopher Hitchens is that he did a political volte face from left-wing and anti-war to right-wing and pro-war. That is, you could have an argument for and against a war that consisted entirely of quotes from Hitchens on both sides of the argument.

Nah, if Trump wanted to assassinate a North Korean he'd just nuke Seoul.

I assume it's a dubious psychological experiment, or (more likely) an attractive alien serial killer looking to harvest my body for obscure reasons.

That's what Ramon Mercader said.

Ernst Rohm was one of the leaders of the Nazi movement and openly gay. He was executed for other reasons, but his fellow Nazis did go on to persecute and murder gay men, including within their own ranks.

I didn't say punching them was necessarily a good idea, just that they aren't looking for anything even remotely resembling a fair fight. What they want is to intimidate people or kick the shit out of them.

Of course they don't want to be punched. They want to be doing the punching, preferably five of them against one of you, that sort of thing.

Could you spell out how exactly the Rape of Nanking makes the atomic bombings justified? Was the Rape of Nanking committed by the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

They're also twats. Nazi twats, which is the worst kind.

That's equally reductive.

You want to be congratulated for actions that if they'd been done by an enemy (Japan, say) would certainly and uncontroversially have been classed as war crimes?

They are terrorists. A person or organisation that murders people for a political/ideological motivation is a terrorist. That goes as much for white supremacist and fascist murderers as it does for IS or al Quaida affiliated murderers. Breivik, Roof, Mair, Bissonette, etc are terrorists of the far-right.

Race isn't important to you BECAUSE you're white. It's easy to be complacent about things that don't adversely affect you.

"They unironically refer to it as weaponized autism."

"Just put the word My in front of the title and say it with a British accent."

Prejudices I'll grant you, but I really don't think "appealling to popular desires" is a bad thing. Not giving a shit about legitimate and perfectly reasonable popular desires (like decent living standards and secure employment) is a major factor in the delegitimisation of 'mainstream' politics which the far-right is
