I know this is the internet, but when will you two communicate constructively? (My point is each of you tend to be unhelpfully inflammatory. Trollish, even...).
Perhaps if you brought some examples it might help your argument?
That's all I'll say.
Tagging @ilovethebomb@lemmy.nz so it's not all on ballpeen
This person is saying that the haka was the most disruptive thing to happen in parliament in the entire history of his nation.
Here is the quote.
You know this is a lie, I know this is a lie, and he knows this is a lie.
Why should somebody be able to lie so blatantly without being called out? Especially since the lie is motivated by racism.
I'm just trying to get either of you to provide details or examples so you can have a constructive discussion as opposed to a vitriol-fest.
And you've done that, thanks!
If you want to see what not confronting this kind of racism and right wing zealotry leads to just look at the USA. They are literally sending soldiers to shoot protesters all in the name of maintaining decorum.
Just FYI, I've had ballpeen blocked for probably over a year. They never have anything insightful or useful to say, and I see no benefit to even seeing their comments.
I recommend doing the same.
LOL. Block all you want. I will be here to call your racism and right wing batshittery every time I see it.
