How the fuck do you accuse someone of being a terrorist and then threaten to blow them up? Also, I am slowly missing the "talking stick", more and more.
Part of the reason why this is encouraged is a lack of condemnation and sanctions on Israel for its pager terror attack. Instead you had many media outlets praise how "sophisticated" that attack was and many made "beeper jokes" on twitter and co.
The endorsement this terror attack by Israel gained from all parts of the mainstream political spectrum of course results in the American and European fascists endorsing to use it to terrorize their political opponents. if Israeli fascists get praised for terror attacks, ehy shpuldnt western fascists be also praised for it?
After all, many of these opponents parties themselves praised this kind of terror. Note that this is not exclusive to the US. In Germany there also have been dozens of supposed liberal and progressive politicians and journalists cheering on the terror attack and making "beeper jokes" to suggest killing people in Germany in this way too.
Just asking: Could you refer to me which politicians and journalists joked about that in Germany? Not saying this is not true, I'm just curious on the examples.

Sorry for paywall.

This is what i could find quickly maybe after work i can find something w.o. paywall
Curious on what is behind that paywalled link, but the rnd link is pretty underwhelming.
I wouldnt put a retired BND lead in a list of "supposed liberal and progressive politicians". I expected some well-known names or at least people representing or speaking as a party's role.
Same way you claim your political opposition is committing widespread voter fraud, and then yours is the only party ever caught doing it.
Same way you accuse trans folks of being "child groomers," when the vast majority of cases involve men from your own political party or religious group.
Same way... Well, you see where this is going.
If the story hadn't been written out, I would definitely not be able to follow the cacophony that was that goddamn video.
The conch?
Sucks to your ass-mar
