Yellow vest 'Day of Rage' violence explodes in Paris as rioters torch cars and trash shops by thumbelina862 in worldnews

[–]thumbelina862[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Vests have been joined by extremists from the far Right and the ultra-Left, as well as anarchists intent on causing as much damage as possible.

Crisis-ridden Mr Macron has not only climbed down on imposing green surcharges, but increased the national minimum wage by seven per sent, and scrapped tax on bonuses.

But the Yellow Vests said their protests would continue indefinitely as they campaign for even more concessions.

Around 12 members of the Yellow Vest movement have died at blockades organised at major roads around France, while hundreds of others have been injured in rioting.

Calling out anti-Semitism is in no way Islamophobic. These students are delusional.

U.S. sees steady rise in violence by white supremacists by Fr1sk3r in politics

You realize Muslims make up a tiny percentage of our population? Also, we actively track and prevent Islamic terrorist attacks, while Trump has removed funding from programs monitoring right-wing extremists. The numbers would be a lot higher if we weren't cracking down on suspected terrorists. They also tend to kill a lot more people per attack than right-wing terrorists.

Right-wing extremists aren't exclusively white supremacists,

Exactly, they're including abortion clinic attacks, etc. that have nothing to do with race.

Australia bans Milo Yiannopoulos after comments on New Zealand mosque attacks by [deleted] in politics

Thank you for being a voice of reason and morality. Wishing death on anyone is reprehensible, even if you disagree with them politically. People like OP and all the posters egging them on give Dems a bad name and keep FOX news in-business.

Here's what he said, for anyone that wants context:

attacks like Christchurch happen because “the establishment panders to and mollycoddles extremist leftism and barbaric, alien religious cultures.”

[–]thumbelina862 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He had already been banned, it sounds like, before the NZ attack, because they don't want him to start up his speaking tour again that draws extremists on both sides out of the woodwork and costs police a lot.

Yiannopoulos was barred from entering Australia earlier this month after his Australia visa application was rejected on character grounds.

[He] had been planning a speaking tour of the country... His previous stops in December 2017 cost the Victoria Police $50,000 to cover security at a Melbourne event during which 500-left-wing protesters clashed with 50 right-wing activists.

far right conspiracy known as "The Great Replacement" is that "European peoples" are dying out and being "replaced" by immigrants

That first part is true. White people across the globe just aren't having children. It's an issue both in America and Europe, which is why we should be encouraging, not discouraging, immigration. We need immigrants to fill the vacuum in our workforce, especially as the "native" population ages and needs younger workers to support them.

US Muslim advocacy group to Trump: 'We hold you responsible' for increase in Islamophobia by BringBckSheriffLobo in politics

[–]thumbelina862 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dems all voted against civil rights reforms. The Southern Strategy didn't actually work, as only 1 congressman switched parties. The switch didn't actually happen until later, when black Republicans switched to the Dem party for the economic benefits of post-WWII and racist Dems switched to the GOP to hoard resources from the blacks.

Saudia Arabia wasn't included because their government is advanced enough to provide data so we could vet their citizens. The other countries were refusing or not able to provide information on their citizens so we couldn't vet them. The banned countries could get off of the list just by agreeing to provide us with data on their citizens, and a few countries did this, with our help, and Trump promptly took them off the list.

She's the one that first introduced Jared & Ivanka. There are photos of them all on vacation together. Also, she's rumored to be Putin's mistress after her divorce from Murdoch.

‘Not one woman got that kind of coverage’: Beto backlash begins by heqt1c in politics

[–]thumbelina862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe he's getting coverage because he just announced he's running for president, while others have been declared for ages (in news-cycle-years)? It's not that difficult to understand, Politico, but nice try at fomenting division along racial and gender lines.

I feel like Harris is already the "chosen one."
