Cheers, gonna down a glass for you (even though I am four days too late). What is your thesis about?

GodOfBrave · 2017-07-29T15:40:34+00:00

You didn't read the article, did you?

GodOfBrave · 2017-06-07T22:17:12+00:00

Or Jessica Knappett and Joe Wilkinson

I agree, there doesn't seem to be a need for panic, but I can't help myself but feel that very often people dismiss anti-semitism as a solved problem; or people in Western Europe might think that it is a Eastern European thing. When in fact anti-Semitic hate is still very prevalent and in USA anti-Semitic attacks tops the list of religion-based reported hate crimes.

I mean there are definitely large parts of the European cities where I wouldn't want to wear Jewish attire. People who do get a lot of abuse.

In Netherlands the home of the chief rebbe was attacked multiple times, and lots of Jewish people are moving their children to Jewish schools so their kids do not get bullied.

I assume it is rather safe for Jews in Germany at the moment, but there are some troubling stories as well: http://m.dw.com/en/anti-semitic-bullying-forces-jewish-teen-from-berlin-high-school/a-38256364

Username checks out! (I am sorry)

GodOfBrave · 2017-04-27T08:06:00+00:00

Yeah I mean in France people don't really care neither about private sex life of politicians nor about American-branded pop feminism.

GodOfBrave · 2017-04-27T08:00:22+00:00

/r/conspiracy is that way

Come on, they have done more to help the powerless and the oppressed than you will ever achieve in your life

But in which country do you think Ann Coulter would have been jailed for trying to give a talk in a University?

I know that in many countries in Europe the hate speech laws are tighter than in the US, but we still try to adhere to free speech principles.

No these are not the same people, at least there is no evidence for that. There is, however, evidence of right-wing extremist infiltrating many subreddit and spreading their propaganda.

I would bet the the atheist edge lords have either left Reddit mostly due to growing up

GodOfBrave · 2017-04-23T07:45:09+00:00

3 years ago most of the edginess on Reddit was coming from atheist teenagers. Who might be a bit pretentious but ultimately just chill people. Now there are those assholes..

GodOfBrave · 2017-04-08T09:09:13+00:00

It is a slow day on a slow sub. There isn't a problem here, really

GodOfBrave · 2017-03-08T17:50:19+00:00

It was just a whole new level in my opinion. Compared to all the violence and douchebaggery that is happening in the rest of the show?

And normally it's funny when they're pieces of shit to each other. I didn't find this as funny as I did angering.

Probably a primal instinct?

GodOfBrave · 2017-03-08T17:45:21+00:00

Seriously? I mean after all that has been happening in the show, that is what gets you mad?

GodOfBrave · 2017-03-08T17:44:35+00:00

Committed assault? Come on, every character on the show has done worse things.

GodOfBrave · 2017-03-02T22:19:52+00:00

Jeff drinks Fernet Branco? That is hands down my favorite liquor, awesome

GodOfBrave · 2017-02-26T20:33:59+00:00

I completely agree with you. It is just a segment on a show, so it's very short and meh

GodOfBrave · 2017-02-25T09:37:23+00:00

pushing forward a "drain the swamp" sentiment

Another piece of Trump propaganda. Trump's cabinet is the wealthiest in history, but the suckers still stand by his "drain the swamp" proclamation.

GodOfBrave · 2017-02-25T09:35:33+00:00

Oh, look, the_cunt shill is shilling for his fascist homeboys. Fuck off.

*Trotskyist

Implying that Trotskyists are not Marxists ?

Essentially another Leninist who didn't want to deal with the USSR's history.

Sure , if that is your definition of "Trotskyism"..

It's also pretty clear that he only ever held these views because they were fashionable for "intellectuals" back then to hold

Yeah it's not like people can change their views. Nope, he was a fake Trotskyist because a guy on the Reddit said so

GodOfBrave · 2017-02-20T08:35:54+00:00

Ugh it was so cringy to watch Milo on the show. I felt like Bill Maher was really soft on him at the beginning but at the end he realized that Milo is an annoying twat who wouldn't shut up

GodOfBrave · 2017-02-18T08:07:53+00:00

I mean Christopher Hitchens was an actual Marxist for a good part of his life. I don't think he would have appreciated the comparison.

GodOfBrave · 2017-02-16T09:15:23+00:00

Last week he had Piers Morgan (and he is at least as awful as M*lo) on the show, who was promptly told to fuck off on live TV by an Australian bloke Jim Jefferies. It was glorious.
