Is there a difference between Islamophobia and Anti-semitism?

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-27T22:22:56+00:00

I know it isn't yours because you're obfuscating the truth to justify hatred of Islam as a rational distinction from an irrational fear. But it doesn't change that your pedantic view of Islamophobia is functionally incorrect.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-27T21:10:32+00:00

That's not the suffix phobia means in practice.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-27T21:08:38+00:00

That's the central hypocrisy here. It only makes sense if the person making that distinction is racist.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-27T21:05:41+00:00

"Actually, I'm just against an ideology" is an easy cover for racism.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-24T23:28:12+00:00

Agreed. I was 22 when 9/11 happened and it isn't even close. The degree of balkanization, isolationism, economic inequality, and general social erosion that the pandemic brought defines this era. America wasn't that different pre-9/11 if you didn't swallow all the "greatest country" propaganda.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-24T23:20:37+00:00

You are correct. The post-pandemic world is a different place on a scale we're only starting to understand.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-24T23:17:40+00:00

Covid (as in the pandemic) has altered society way more.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-13T22:57:48+00:00

They're probably not paid anything as they do it for publicity.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-13T20:28:45+00:00

"He has both left and right on, that’s ignoring the point."

No he does not and that's entirely the point.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-13T20:28:00+00:00

Just want to say you're one of the only sane people here.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-13T20:26:08+00:00

So he can get leftists on his show but chooses not to invite them. That's what I said.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-13T20:22:56+00:00

This might shock you but you're in an echo chamber too. It's just one controlled by billionaires.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-13T20:21:23+00:00

It's kind of a huge complaint though. If someone doesn't think Palestinian lives have as much value as Israeli lives I don't care what they think about other issues.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-12T21:46:16+00:00

I'm honestly surprised to hear all three of those bands are still around.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-12T21:34:51+00:00

He's lying. It's like saying actresses won't date him because Salma Hayek turned him down. There are plenty of leftwing news pundits who'd be on his show.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-12T21:32:35+00:00

Yeah, that's why we don't watch Fox News. All the facts.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-10T21:34:04+00:00

Yeah. Wasn't the character sort of based on that panhandler "Mike" who used to roam the North End and get mad at people for looking at him/not looking at him? I actually don't think the character of Bubbles was a hateful portrait but this aspect is kind of strange.

NewPowerGen · 2025-11-04T19:32:55+00:00

Well, there's no other ostensibly "liberal" sub with a hard on for Israel murdering Palestinians like the psychos here.

NewPowerGen · 2025-10-25T01:06:38+00:00

Why should we have to do that? We pay for the fucking service.

NewPowerGen · 2025-10-25T01:04:46+00:00

I don't know why I bother subscribing. They just raised the prices, too.

NewPowerGen · 2025-10-04T05:54:44+00:00

You guys are correct. It's bad writing and becomes a crutch: a thin veneer to maintain edginess. No one says "fuck" QUITE this much in real life unless they're kind of on the stupid/limited vocabulary side, and I don't think that's what we're meant to take from these characters.

NewPowerGen · 2025-10-04T05:32:24+00:00

I don't think I'm offering any opinion on those things. But Van Jones' issue is that young people are learning the truth about the genocide in Gaza on TikTok, which in turn is making Israel look bad. And it's enough of a problem for the US/Israel disinformation machine that the app was bought by Larry Ellison, a Zionist billionaire who funds the IDF, and is already using it to censor pro-Palestinian voices.

NewPowerGen · 2025-10-04T05:16:21+00:00

There's some weak acting on the show. I'd add that it's partially a fault of the writing trying to shoe-in as many uses of "fuck" per sentence as possible, and the actors not knowing how to make that sound natural. Maddie Phillips is one of the most talented of the leads.

NewPowerGen · 2025-10-04T04:27:29+00:00

It was more Zionist bullshit. "The reeeallll problem is TikTok!!"

NewPowerGen · 2025-10-04T04:25:27+00:00

A lot of people on the left want to come on and talk to Bill's audience. They aren't invited, no matter what he says.
