Hey, I just watched the video on youtube last night. He started off with the good things such as the physical design of the device, or the interesting way it can project a laser image on your hand, but after that, it was all downhill.

So Israel is using the Nazi’s definition of Semite. Pretty sure the logic to stop using that would be the same as the reason we stopped giving credence to the Nazi’s definition of Aryan.

‘in recent years’
This isn’t something that people came up with recently. It’s been the established definition forever. What you’re doing is attempting to conflate the goals of Arabs with the goals of the nazi party.

Here’s some historical context to chew on:

"Nazi harassment of Arabs began as early as 1932, where members of the Egyptian Student Association in Graz, Austria reported to the Egyptian consulate in Vienna that some Nazis had assaulted some of its members, throwing beer steins and armchairs at them, injuring them, and that “oddly enough” the police had not arrested the perpetrators, but the Egyptians.[27] The Nazis attackers were later acquitted; one of its officers, penciled the word “Jude" [Jew] after the names of three of the attacked Egyptians. In February 1934, the Egyptian Embassy in Berlin complained to the Reich Ministry of the Interior that a student had been attacked and insulted in a dance hall in Tübingen. The perpetrator had complained that he was not permitted to dance with a “German” because he was “black” and of a “lower race” and had punched him. The attacker was not punished.

The Moroccan Mohamed Bouayad was killed in a gas chamber in Mauthausen in April 1945.
While Arabs were a small population in Europe at the time, they were not free from Nazi persecution.[28] Racist incidents against Egyptians were reported as early as the 1930s.[29][30] The Nazis also sterilized hundreds of “half-breeds”, Germans of mixed Arab/North African heritage.[31] On the onset of war, Egyptians living in Germany were interned in response to the internment of Germans in Egypt.[32] Tens of thousands of French colonial soldiers were imprisoned after fighting alongside French forces in the Battle of France.[33]"

As you can see from the above, Nazis treated Arabs as bad as they treated Jews during that time because they didn’t care about the difference between Arab and Jewish peoples.

You do understand that two people can not be married, and have kids together, right? Just because they’re not married doesn’t mean the mom or dad has no legal rights to the kid. The father is the father regardless of the relationship status of the parents and same for the mother.

Also, my dad wasn’t poly, and he vacated my life all on his own.

It’s exactly what you think it is. Just because the man keeps trying to say he’s liberal, doesn’t mean he actually is. He keeps throwing out old and tired and debunked maga talking points such as the ‘covid’s a bioweapon’ lie, or the Hunter Biden laptop lie, and then attacks DEI as some boogie man without actually showing any real harm being done by the initiative except to act like older white men’s views (read: his views) aren’t getting more respect. He also makes the same old tired accusation that NPR and of course “liberal media” is hiding information when in reality, it’s only reporting information that it can confirm as factual. It isn’t “Steve Inskeep said that covid isn’t a bioweapon” it’s “XYZ Scientists say covid is not a bioweapon”.

In other words, he wants NPR to report on MAGA conspiracy theories like conservative media does. His complaints boil down to claiming that NPR’s integrity in journalism isn’t fair to conservatives who want to hear unsubstantiated claims that make them feel good, and that’s why they lost conservative listeners. He keeps referring to ‘viewpoint diversity’ as a coded phrase to really mean conservative viewpoints. He keeps trying to act like diversity means having to let nazi’s take over the conversation, and to not let them do so makes the organization a hypocrite. Again, that’s a tired and old conservative talking point. And of course like every white guy surrounded by diversity initiatives, he thinks he’s the only rational person in the room and must call out the insanity of diversity initiatives as some secret evil that only his eyes can see.

Dude should go work at Fox. He’d do great there.

You know what’s cool? Piracy. Piracy is cool.

Hey folks, this comment above mine is what’s called a ‘straw-man’ fallacy. It’s when you don’t have an argument against for the specific argument being stated, so you invent another similar but significantly different argument to argue against instead. The first comment states that it’s ridiculous to ban semi auto firearms when that’s the vast majority of guns you can buy, and the second commenter instead argues that they should be legally allowed to own a grenade launcher in sarcasm as an attempt to show how firearm legal restrictions are a good thing as they prevent the ownership of grenade launchers.

Also, it’s legal to own a grenade launcher in the US. It’s just not legal to own the grenades. Plus, a grenade launcher is really just any 37mm chambered weapon. It could fire grenades, flares, or smoke bombs. They’re also single shot weapons, so a semi-auto ban isn’t going to cover them.

You’re just describing the horrors of capitalism. The difference is that the guy with the gold under a system of UBI can be voted out if they don’t follow the will of the people.

No.

Top tier troll right there.

If they’re starving for bread, then why don’t they eat cake?

My guy, that’s the information people use when they decide who to vote for. What exactly are you trying to make a point about? That no one should even listen to anything about politics or something?

Those three things may not be magic bullets, but pretending that there’s nothing we can do is just lazy thinking. Obviously we don’t have a time machine, so the next best is housing, healthcare, and rehab. All things that many homeless people would take advantage of if it existed. You are correct that not all will, but many, many will.

Don’t let perfection become the enemy of progress.

Or security. Lots of cops moonlight as security guards.

It’s such a forceful word that’s lost all meaning in this day and age. Every time I see the word ‘slam’ in a headline I know literally nothing has been done about the problem.

Like, thanks Mozilla. You pointed a finger. What now?

It’s sort of like a Rorschach test. What you see reveals things about you and your thoughts.

“Now there is also another bit where it acknowledges some were explicitly fighting to defend slavery. However since what those researchers are using is letters…”

You’re really handwaving away what’s called a primary source of information. Those letters are actually really important for understanding what was going on in the heads of the soldiers at that time. The fact that they were explicitly writing about the right to own slaves shows that they were aware of what explicit right they were fighting for.

You just got schooled in how wrong you were, and you’re just showing that you’re the exact person we’re talking about.

Gun ownership. Leftist groups NEED gun owners, but will turn their nose up at them and call them Nazi’s.

The most amazing thing gun culture in the US did was get liberals to disarms themselves willingly by falsely associating gun ownership with toxic masculinity and conservative values.

Read Marx. Acquire guns.

Ahhh, the purity test starts.
