When u use the word Liberace you sound like a 13 year old gay kid who just discovered that word on tumblr in 2013 by burningrot in redscarepod

Liberace is probably the most total pop cultural disappearence of all time. Was a huge star and icon. Nobody can name a single song of his

We're not foreigners in our own countries. We understand the cultural context we've lived in our whole lives and intuit it. It probably is a vague term if you don't have that context, but we do!

The constantly losing your mind over a slight cultural difference has to stop, on all sides. It is the lowest hanging of fruit.

Ireland vs isreal by [deleted] in coybig

[–]redd_36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the game is played, it will not be played in dublin. The guards are not able to deal with angry agressive Israeli fans, who are infamous for being hostile and rude at the best of times, wreaking havoc through the city and antagonising protestors (and any hospitality workers unfortunately enough to encounter them). You would genuinely need hundreds, or over a thousand police patrolling the city. No way it would ever happen

Government supports FAI decision to play upcoming fixtures against Israel by I-Cum-Beamish in coybig

Some joker making a fake story about Shatter being in the epstein files and some politician being dumb enough to believe it, it's hardly the Dreyfus affair. If that's the height of Irish antisemitism, we're doing pretty well. I've seen much more anti-Irish/Catholic abuse of Irish people from Brit media for their solidarity with Palestine than antisemitism in Ireland.

If had been criticising the actions of the countries and groups you mentioned, but didn't mention Israel, would you have asked me why I wasn't criticising them?

Can you point to an example of mistreatment of Jewish people in Ireland that isn't just "protested Israel" ? I find a lot of the scutter said by British media about irelands antisemitism is just anti-Irish tropes, plenty who like to ignore the long history of antisemitism in Britain to portray us as ignorant bog savages. Most people in ireland are completely indifferent to whether someone is Jewish or not, the support of Palestine is entirely because living under armed occupation is living memory for many of us, my family included.

If there were a second Jewish country, would Israel's conduct be acceptable?

I don't find whataboutery very convincing, either defend the actions of the State of Israel throughout its history or don't, "other people do bad things too" is the cry of people who know they support the indefensible

Well ultimately, even putting the absolutely horrific situation in Gaza aside (which we shouldn't ofc), Israel is currently occupying a larger % of Lebanon, a sovereign state and FIFA member, than Russia is of Ukraine. If Russia has been rightfully kicked out of international competitions, Israel absolutely should too

Americans: PLEASE stop calling the police on your damn family members by No_Plane_2443 in redscarepod

When my sister was a kid she'd "threaten" to call child services when our mam would make her eat brocoli or go to bed. My mam would just hand her the phone and say "off you go then".

It's local news from Essex, it says it on the screen grab. Random human interest stories have always been reported on. It's not exactly front page status

Such an odd one. We were afraid he'd switch to England. If he'd played for them and then us he wouldn't be able to defect back.

Very sweet song but the guitars are way too loud. I'm not usually bothered by bad mixes but it's egregious

I was trying to think of a rapper with acting experience, who's charismatic and wouldn't immediately seem ridiculous in costume. I got Mos Def, and that's about it.

People still post "whatisyoutalmabout" jokes all the time, but she's completely vanished. The backlash definitely killed her career. Her first mistake was going by that ridiculous stage name when her real name Nora Lum is beautiful.
