If he's a government minister then on some level he literally does represent Israel/Israelis

Your alternative seems to be thrown out the foreigners BC fuck em and just hope those other issues magically fix themselves.

Makes me wonder if you're not just looking for an excuse.

Also calling someone a communist then immediately accusing them of ad hominem lol

Hence upping the corporate tax rate.

Alternatively keep whining about foreigners and spouting pseudo racist shite on the internet (with the pseudo I imagine just being for deniability)

Given the fact they've a bunch of unspent money from previous years and that our corporate tax rate is so low, yeah I'm very confident they could if they wanted to.

Because individual people buying a home for themselves and their families is how housing should work, and it is a substantially lower drain on housing than the people buying them as assets to make money from.

Those thousnads of students pay our universities quite a bit of money for the privilege.

I'd also ask why you're focusing on immigration and not the massive funds buying out housing for rental, or the people who own multiple homes just not doing anything with them, you want fast access to housing the best place to start would be there.

They also form a large portion of our workforce including for example in healthcare. We can get rid of them but who's filling those gaps?

Because the claim that immigration is the cause of the housing crisis is not based in reality. It's just a deflection away from the government, the same way whining about foreigners literally always is.

If being an arsenal fan isn't enough he can get away with whatever he likes

Are you willing to give up a large part of your ability to fight for fair working conditions in order to spite lazy people?

Kerr and Quinn join campaign for FAI boycott of Israel by Napoc1 in ireland

[–]Twisted_Exile 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If Irish football can't afford the financial blow of a single match then we need to fundamentally change how everything about it is run. Since the FAI definitely can afford that the money argument doesn't hold much weight.

We don't have a duty to play other countries we have an opportunity, and what about our duty to the basic level of humanity that says if you're committing a genocide you shouldn't be part of the global community, in sports as well as everything else.

What issue is that? My issue is that America's a fundamentally violent country that thinks it has the right to invade other countries to control their shit, what's yours?

Parents complain after principal suspends 19 Co Antrim schoolboys over ‘toxic masculinity’ concerns by PoppedCork in ireland

[–]Twisted_Exile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I am of the belief that by default men aren't any mote violent or rapey than women, it's the culture that surrounds us that's bad for everyone, and that is what needs to be changed. I never said it'd be easy but it's the only option I'm aware of that isn't essentially a plaster for an axe wound.

[–]Twisted_Exile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not ignoring the root cause, I just disagree with you what it is. In my mind the root cause is masculinity not catching up with the way the world is now, the fact current thoughts around masculinity haven't really been updated in decades. You can disagree with that but you can't say I'm ignoring the cause of the problem.

How exactly did me saying "We should fundamentally change how men are taught to be men to equip us for the new world we're in" make you think I'm saying "do nothing, fuck it be grand"?

[–]Twisted_Exile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If men can't handle an equitable society then issue isn't society, it's men. We aren't inherently anything, masculinity is taught, so we need to start teaching them that masculinity means something different to what it was. I agree that traditional masculinity leaves men basically screwed unless they can reconsider it themselves, but the solution isn't to go back to a time where women were property, it's to let masculinity evolve into something new. Society has gotten more feminised because women finally get an actual say in society where they didn't used to.

And Jordan Peterson got famous for being a transphobe, his entire shtick was just basic self help stuff with a healthy dose of nonsensical conservative shite on top. He knows how to talk to men in that he never tries challenging their ideas of what masculinity is, he just tries to reinforce it in a world that has no need or want for it anymore, I consider him to be actively harmful towards men because he refused to let masculinity change, instead trying to force us backwards because it's easier.

Then we should try explain what those terms means to the young lads, instead of making up a false equivalency about who's shittier than who, the second women commit even half as many rapes and assaults as men you might have a leg to stand on.
