I think that has become more of a white supremacist meme as well TBH.

Actually, Pewdiepie is the real victim here guys. He’s the Louis CK of the far-right.

Lol at hitting “report post” to mod-troll.

Maybe keep reading this thread where I say the other side is right before making up something I didn't say.

LOL tabbaker in addition to learning something about Pewdiepie's channel and "subscribe to Pewdiepie" as a meme seems like you learned a little something about yourself, huh?

That I'm able to take in different views and change my own to become a better person?

if someone is willing to change their mind or admit they were mistaken/misinformed about something, as is apparently the case above, that's good! don't continue to dunk on them uwu

also to respond to my own question from yesterday:

step forward Yashar Ali - civility lib, Clinton bootlicker, Ben Shapiro fan (read the thread):



this guy has always tilted the **** out of me but it's pretty sickening to see the Shapiro defender sic his 350k deranged followers on a 20 year old palestinian muslim for the crime of being rude to Chelsea Clinton.

Nice hat.

Mass shooting in Utrecht, Denmark

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-47611811

No fatalities but a few injuries. Terrorist motive being considered.

Not sure it belongs here given that the man is reputed to be Gokmen Tanis, a Turkish man who apparently fought in Cechnya.

He cannot be simply kicked out of the Senate, there is no legal mechanism to do that. Via a bipartisan motion, he will be censured at the next seating of parliament. We have a federal election in May and it is a certainty that he will not remain a senator.

Australia (and New Zealand) is nothing like the religious and conservative cesspit we call the United States of America. And when I mention religion, I specifically refer to christianity (sic), a belief system that (thankfully) afflicts less than half of this country, and that's due to the rise of irreligion, not islam (sic).

Yes, extreme conservatives here like anywhere are scum and they will always exist and always have a platform to speak in the media and on social media, but they get A LOT of pushback and justifiably so. These loud white dickheads are a small minority. Australia while being far from perfect, is a staunchly secular and progressive nation. We have little tolerance for scum like Fraser Anning, Milo and others.

Regarding the "ok to be white", yes, the conservative party here ****ed up, and alleged that they were given incorrect information about the motion and that if it got up, they would have re-voted unanimously against the motion. But this putrid conservative government will be voted out of office in two months anyway.

"Australia (and New Zealand) is nothing like the religious and conservative cesspit we call the United States of America.

Meh. The US is down to about 75% of people identifying as Christian - which I would, I suppose if you had me check a box on a form - but the last time I was in a church was for Evensong at St. Paul's in London three years ago. I MIGHT have been in a church for a wedding a decade or so ago. Lots of "Christians" like me, I'd expect.

Mostly, our conservative idiots have been enabled by Robert Murdoch and Fox, may he get cancer of the ass and die in a grease fire. They get plenty of pushback here, too. Things are changing in a lot of areas - the state I live in was reliably conservative until a few years ago - we're now the only state with all women reps/senators.

We have areas of awful people. Like Perth, maybe? Spent a night in a bar listening to a table of guys ranting about Aborigines. I didn't completely follow the conversation because I was slightly hammered, but I was pretty sure they weren't being complimentary. Nice to see that the peripheral island camps for refugees (concentration camps, actually) are mostly shut down, Narau/Christmas Island etc..You're ahead of us there, for now.

A recent study cited in the Washington Post (done by a couple of Swedish economists) showed " the U.S. falls into the most tolerant category, with only 0-4.9% of those surveyed responding that they would not want to live near people of other races." Same as Australia and NZ. Interestingly, at least to me, the most racist country in the EU was Finland. They always seemed so nice.....Worldwide, India and Korea were easily the worst.

Jeff Flake reveals he has received threats from Trump supporters

Last week, a man in Chicago pleaded guilty to a federal retaliation charge after leaving a threatening voicemail for an unidentified US senator after the hearings for Trump’s supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Flake confirmed to the Guardian the message had been left for him after he delayed Kavanaugh’s hearing by pressing for a short FBI investigation into allegations the judge had sexually assaulted a number of women as a teenager.

The defendant, 58-year-old James Dean Blevins Jr, said on the voicemail: “I am tired of him interrupting our president, and I am coming down there to take him and his family out,” according to prosecutors.

But, said Flake: “That’s only one of several threats.”

Flake revealed that an unidentified man carrying a rifle scope had recently arrived at three locations in Arizona associated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, looking for the former senator, a devout Mormon.

According to Flake: “It was a man living out of his car. He told someone he had just attended a Trump rally.” He added: “He showed up at another event two weeks ago.”

The Mesa police department in Arizona confirmed they had been assisting Flake and his family during an investigation that was being handled by federal authorities. The US Capitol police declined to answer questions.

Flake also said his family had received “several” other threats that “haven’t been tracked down yet”.

“Threats where they list my kids and their addresses, links to beheading videos,” Flake said.

while i am saddened by the proliferation and encouragement of crazy right wing nutjobs looking to do harm to elected representatives, i feel no sympathy for jeff flake or his racist ass piece of **** son

oh nooo, you fomented extremism and now the extremists are coming for your head, wahhhh

imagine how dumb you have to be to threaten jeff flake AFTER the kavanaugh hearings, for delaying it 3 days to do a sham investigation that made the vote more politically palatable for him and collins to confirm, which he did!

that's trump's base. that's awval's friend on the farm.

With Candace Owens appearing before Congress it's pretty glaringly obvious at this point that (part of) your government is complicit
