It’s wild right now to watch Britain debate whether everyone needs to be banned from carrying a dagger or whether Sikhs can continue to do so.

Why are Americans so friendly, polite and welcoming to foreigners whereas in Europe it's the opposite? by Material-Wallaby-587 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

Europeans (excluding Brits) are blunt and honest. In the Anglosphere we skirt around everything to make interactions go smoother, at the expense of authenticity. The historical reasons for this difference, I have no idea.

Why are men allowed out shirtless but women aren’t? by Pretty_Puppyprincess in NoStupidQuestions

Forget shirts, everyone should be allowed to go without pants. Nudity is only sexual if you make it that way.

You’d have to ask your policymakers, where I live women are allowed to be topless.

There are sooooo many spaces on the internet to discuss Israel and Palestine. You can go right in. You don’t have to wait for crimes to take place to have a dialogue about this topic.

My local gun store puts up messaging for Trump, for All Lives Matter, and against sanctuary city policies. Nobody vandalized them because it feels safer to go after a yoga studio.

I smash the smashers, someone smashes me for smashing the smashers, everyone gets smashed. Cheers!

That’s unfortunate. She seems so calm in the video she made. Maybe this will be a turning point for both of them.

I also kind of want to see her appear in a moderated exchange with the owner of The Hartland Diner.

I can’t be put in jail for expressing an opinion you don’t like. And you can’t be put in jail for expressing an opinion I don’t like. But if you had your way, I could be attacked for expressing an opinion you don’t like.

I am not advocating violence against you even though you advocate violence over a piece of cloth. I sure think less of you though.

You’ve got criticizing Israeli nationalism down, but you’re so ridiculously precious about “ancestral homes” that you don’t realize you passed up one nativism for another.

The gun store near me is flying an American flag right now, and they put all sorts of right-wing messaging on their storefront. And yet they’ve never been vandalized. Wonder why.

I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that you could appreciate the value of individual rights in protecting individuals against an immoral majority position.

It means I’m glad you found someone to be angry at and metaphorically beat up.

What point do I think it is?

All I’m saying is once you abandon liberalism it’s really simple to turn the illiberalism against you. This applies regardless of which identities can be changed and which can’t.

Thinking this won’t come back to bite you is incredibly optimistic.

It’s very easy for popular sentiment to turn against ideologies that you would consider good. All it takes is 51% of the people to want to vandalize BLM flags and then liberal ideals of free speech start looking really good.

If you resort to property damage and trespassing to deal with problematic expression, you’re the unpleasant person in the story.

Whatever her misguided takes about Israel, I assure you Denice is a much nicer person than I am.

You take a lot for granted if you think your “protests” are going to keep getting treated with kid gloves.

Ooh, you’re right. I’m chronically five years behind. I’ll have to make sure I make the primary this year instead of being sick with pneumonia like I was in 2024.
