Muslim women are free to wear hijabs if they choose to, and I'll stand by their right to do so if they wish. But I believe it's a silly thing to do, especially if you live in the west, which is free from a REAL patriarchal society unlike much of the islamic world. In many societies, it's against the law not to wear one. I may have used Jihadwatch, but I also posted a source from NYT so I could at least try to speak your language. We are told that dressing as someone of a different culture, race, or creed, such as Disney's Moana or a Native American chief with a full feather head dress was a form cultural appropriation, and racial insensitivity. Hence the war on halloween that has been waged. So how is a western, non-arab, non-muslim woman wearing a hijab NOT a form of cultural appropriation?
The Reason USA Might Perish Rape Melania? Hey, in any movement there are the fringe who miss the point.
i dont think so, sexist would be more if you are jealous because no matter how big your hands are you will still not have the penis that trump has my slogan for now is roses are red violets are blue, trump felt you up and your mom and sister too.
There you go again trying to paint liberals with the same broad brush. I think progressive ideologues are as foolish as regressive right-wing ideologues. The war on Halloween, sports team mascots, etc.,is as stupid as the religious right counterpart of wanting to ban Halloween because it's satanic. I'm reminded of the Pharisees and scribes who questioned whether it was lawful for Jesus to heal on the Sabbath--for after all, isn't that work? Such silly people are best ignored. The only people who would think depicting a woman in a hijab as a sign of solidarity with Muslim women is "cultural appropriation" are AltRight agents provocateurs and Alteft pharisaical assholes not worth our attention (present company excluded, of course). They aren't serious people.
The problem is that the alt left are the ones getting the media attention and blowing things out of proportion with false statements and inaspccurate stories... so you are seeing backlash. I think the alt left are extremely shady. And the media supporting them, the media, groups who is backed by Clinton And obama are responsible for this. I think you will see a turn around in your country, the economy ... jobs... encouraging small business and start up companies. There will be encentives to work instead of keeping people in poverty. There will be potential, but not if no one is willing to try or even give it a chance. Hey he wants to repair roads... no pot holes for those marches and rallies. repairing the infrastructure before it becomes obsolete can't be a bad thing... he is thinking of the future instead of the temp bandaid. Jobs will open up too. How dwelling on something he said ten years ago is even an issue is beyond me. You think he has an ego? Every president and prime minister, dictator does. Remember what obama gave queen Elizabeth when she came to visit..? She gave him a wooden pen made from the first ship to land at Plymouth Rock, very thoughtful,, and he gave her an iPad with videos of every speech he ever made on it. To me this was disgraceful. Trump also wants to fix that medicaid which is useless. Ask anyone who has it. So I would like to know what people problem is. Seems to me people have not been happy in the USA for pretty much all of obamas time in office ... so now you have something new. Things will change again. Get use to it. Change is the only constant you have in life. The only constant. If you think rioting, marching. Complaining about things that are not factual. Calling white people racist strictly because of how they voted is going to solve anything you are wrong. Doing this is racist. Calling black people racist because they voted for trump is racist. Telling a black person they are a traitor to his blackness??. Disgraceful to say. And black people are saying this to other black people. If a white nan said this it would be unacceptable. We are all human. Or calling for killing police. How is this going to bring people over? I know this will have the opposit effect. So do the ones saying it. It is just causing a divide... the divide is being brought on by the alt left who seem to enjoy pkaying the victim and painting every white person with the same brush. Racist, white supremest white people. That does not mean it does not exist. Racism comes i every colour..., not just one. Do you give it a voice? Does that voice only be given to the black person claiming racism and calling people people bigots? The opposition can not call him this in return, even if he is black... because he speaks for black lives. The claiming victim. Stop accusing people of this where it does not belong.... racist accusation has absolutely no effect anymore.,, people just shrug it off because it is unfounded. the alt left has made me middle of the road conservative and leaning more away from it the further they make false accusations and mislead people. Doesn't make me racist, I just choose to not associate with people who talk such bullshit or associate with racist people.
Im not sure 6eyed is a Trump voter. But he sure seems to have a problem with the left. He can't resist making it appear the majority of them is as worse as the most extremist/ludicrous ones. It is ruining his more valid points regarding politics. It makes it harder to take him serious.
You know the squeeky wheel gets the oil. The ones who spend their time as a professional rally organizers. The alt left have more time on their hands to do this, Have you ever been to or seen such a thing in the Netherlands, asmo? In person, not on tv. A rally where riots broke out? Rotterdam maybe.?
Not sure I get what you're saying with this in regards to what you quoted of me. Is the average professional rally organizer acting as ludicrous as people like 6-eyed likes to portray the average left leaning person? If not, what do you mean? Personally I do not really know what others mean specifly with the 'alt left' either. Can you give a solid description of what you mean with that when you talk about such a group? What is so alt(ernative) about them.
Makes me think of some people during an anti refugee centre protest here in the Netherlands. One of their arguments was these middle eastern refugees will rape our daughters (like happens in Sweden on a regular basis!), some other person called bullshit on using that info as an argument for no refugees at all: then the person who used that argument said well your daughter should get raped and then you will have the same opinion as me!
Basically from what I gather from the sot are they are both extremes and have lost sight of the party completely that they claim to represent.... it is Mao vs hitler in their mentality. Marxists... fascists. They both have the same goal and it is not together... it is to divide. They both need eachother to accomplish it. BLM vs neonazi. Mao/stalin vs hitler/mousellini/Islamic brotherhood All of those above conspired together. Exact same tactics are being used. And newspapers are constantly drawing attention to these left extremists who do not deserve the attention. These papers are supoorted by obama and the clintons. That who is getting the attention and is gaining momentum. They do not deserve a voice, just like Richard spencer doesn't deserve one. and he doesn't get a major newspaper publishing his hate every week as a columnist like the alt left get to speak hate. Alt is for alternative, they are extremists. They don't even rep a liberal philosophy but people think they go. It is all hate fuelled.
So why is the alt left not just called extreme left then? Another thought: if people find it dubious that newspapers give too much attention to these left extremists why are they overly focussing on those leftists themselves, trying to make it appear most of the left is as extreme as them? By quoting the media who so nasty is drawing constant attention to them... Seems a bit weird.
Take a paper like the New York Times People trust them right? Believe it, believe them. Huge following.. It is a left paper, or traditionally has been. It is changing to being extreme when they hired on extremists who spread hate and misinformation. . Alt is for alternative. Lol. It sounds better when they call themselves alt. vs. Extremists. Alt left or alt right implies that they are still apart of the party, but the name in its entirety being alternative says otherwise. Alternative meaning different, substitute, other... it is not left or right when they call themselves alt, but align themselves in the name only in hopes of bringing people over to them. So how does one fight that?
Under Obama we were already doing very well, but could do better. Job growth was up tremendously. He saved us from the great Recession. The Democrats have been trying to funds for infrastructure for years, but the Republicans keep shooting them down. Trump wants the money so he can dole it out to his Mafia buddies to buy Chinese cement. Because it is a pattern and reflects how he thinks and acts, he hasn't changed in ten years. Dictators usually have bigger egos. I'm on Medicaid and I love it. It should be expanded and the entire health system should be made a government run single payer system..not the private shit the Republicans want. During Obama's administration many people were upset with the stagnation and outright admitted obstruction by the Republicans. Calling a racist a racist is not racist. I never heard of the alt left. Did you make that up? Not clear what this all means.
I was going to respond here, but moved it over to the AltRight thread as a response to one of his posts there, to avoid getting off topic..
Lol. That is what he will have you believe. Can you explain why During the Obama years, the number of Americans below the poverty line is up 3.5 percent. Real median household income: down 2.3 percent. Americans on Food Stamps — 33 million then, 46 million now: up 39.5 percent. Americans who own homes: down 5.6 percent. National debt — up 80.5 percent. families in which no one is employed has grown from 17.8% in 2008 to 19.7% in 2015. He didn't save you from anything! People in power have big egos. I don't know how you can call him a dictator but that seems to be a tactic of the alt left. Just rediculous. No proof to say this. Dictators govern by might of military ... has he done that? Nope. But hey if you riot and destroy people property, set things on fire, total Kaos breaks out, the military might need to be called to help everyone. Administrative obstruction? Is that what your government lied to you about? A person who calls all people racist who vote for someone is racist. He is prejudging an entire group of people based on a vote. Assuming only white america, white supremacy voted this way. That is racism and stereo typing. if a black man doesn't put his own blackness before all people of any colour he is called anti blackness. The person who says this is racist. Are you one of those people who sees racism only in white people too? Nope, are you going to pretend you do not exist?
Typically, you give no sources for your statistics, nor do you say up or down from what point of time. Obama started office in the midst of a major recession bequeathed to him by G.W. during the last months of his last term in office. He faced solid Republican obstruction throughout his two terms in office. But under Obama we did turn the corner, and things were looking up. Let's see what the Republicans do with their total control of the federal government. .
