Not trying to rag on you specifically OP but I’m sick of these “whAT iF A DemOCRAt Did ThIS?” posts. As if pointing out the hypocrisy is helping at all. Fascists and personality cults do not care about hypocrisy.
10 years into this I don’t know who these posts are for anymore.
Yeah. This is George Takei. He is admittedly old, but has been through more than most. Once you are pushing 90, though, it's probably hard to do serious adaptation to political landscapes.
Yeah respect George a lot but I worry he and a lot of other old Hollywood liberals still think we can vote our way out of this. Maybe we can, but that window narrows every day.
I disagree. It's clearly not for them; as we continue to get pummeled by aggrigious behavior by world leaders it habituates us the be progressively less shocked by the next insult to democracy and human rights. Checking ourselves and putting these individual acts of hate, racism, xenophobia, and fascism in perspective is the one thing we can do to try to push the bar back to where it belongs.
Uh I don't think "praise be to Allah" is an act of hate, racism, xenophobia and fascism, but also if the goal is to "push the bar back to where it belongs" then clearly it's not working. Maybe consider doing something about the hate, racism, xenophobia and fascism?
Are you kidding? You think he meant that in a sincere respectful way?
If so this only proves my point.
I mean obviously not, but either way it's not an act of hate, racism, xenophobia or fascism. It's the whole war crime part that's problematic, is my point.
I guess I could try to explain it further but would need to know what part of hate, racism and xenophobia you don't understand?
I get what you mean, but I do think this brand of humor can help crack certain people's indoctrination shells. Edgy standup comedy and memes turned me gay.
