Kinda politics, kinda culture. Definitely both. Thoughts?

    Is this how the media would have reacted if you got on stage in the ‘40s and shouted death to Hitler?

    Feel like civilians in this country are being held to higher standard for speech than a whole ass Country is being held to for its actions.

      Ya but did you ever consider all the morals and values they taught the younger generations, (post boomers and most individuals who were positioned to benefit from the internet boom) was just another weapon used by capitalism? Things like the Golden Rule, protecting those weaker than ourselves, equality, love, etc were lessons those older than us had no intentions of following. They crushed their opponents and ensured no younger generation would ever be powerful enough to overthrow them.

    Israeli embassy ‘deeply disturbed’

    Oh gosh, I am so sorry, nevermind.

    You know what is deeply disturbing? Murdering and starving civilians, including children.

    Aw did the mean words hurt them? Israel’s actively ordering bombings of children and shootings of starving mothers. It’s like saying “Death to the wehrmact”

      While I agree that the chant might be a bit crass, I think it’s his right to say it. He’s saying the army and what it does is shit, and should suffer. I find it very discouraging that such a statement is called antisemitic. The way you frame it is exactly how I see it, it’s death to the abusers, to the killers, the soldiers. It’s about the violence committed by the army.

      It would be as if The Andrew Sisters at a gig in 1943 shouted “Death to the wehrmacht”, and people reacted with “well that’s quite anti-german innit?”. No it’s not, it’s anti Wehrmacht, just like his chant has something specifically to do with the IDF, not with Israelis.

        Whataboutism only makes you look small minded, braindead, even. As if team sports is as complicated as your tiny brain can comprehend, and thusly you process all world events as if they’re team sports. You know, like a moron.

      Herzlians will be more offended by this comment—likening their régime to the Third Reich—than they’ll be offended by the indisputable evidence of the IOF exterminating civilians.

    I don’t know anything about any of this, but I know the name Bob Vylan is just goddamn fantastic.
