I’m hearing everyone come out and condemn this thing which is apparently “hate speech” and how apparently terrible it was for the BBC to continue broadcasting it (I don’t think they did anything wrong- they were broadcasting a real life event). I understand the upset at kneecap (like supporting Hezbollah and talking about killing MPs) but I don’t know how chanting “Death to the IDF” is hate speech- it’s not even necessarily calling for death to humans, could be directed towards wanting to disband the organisation.

I don’t know why the media and politicians are making such a big deal over it. It feels like they are trying to tell us how awful it was that these people said this thing and that we should apparently be outraged. Or maybe it’s just me. I think there are worse things going on in the world… particularly within the geographical piece of land variously known as Israel/Palestine/Canaan…

I’m probably banned from entering the USA now

    are doing because its cool

    Yeah, I want the world to save lives because I want to be “cool.” I’m 44yo. I have no interest in being cool at my age. I’ve been through that phase of my life and came out with a bunch of fun stories about almost dying or almost going to jail.

    Children are being slaughtered. That’s the motivation. Change your username. You are riding the “this is cool” train more than the rest of us. The rest of us give a shit.
