Meat producers can fuck off

Only two weeks and the days will start getting longer again at least…

You guys had snow at all?

Don’t like YouTube, do like the content creators on YouTube.

Perfect answer, thank you. I was specifically asking about names from a shared language.

I like to remind myself of the quote about anti-Semites (which applies more broadly to fascists in general, and more broadly still to some on the political right): they don’t believe what they are saying because words and truth aren’t important them. As long as the right people are being protected and the wrong people are being hurt, that’s all that’s important.

Never believe that anti‐Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.

16 words, wtf

Copy-and-paste of my answer to a different commenter below about why I said “right wing”. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m happy for myself to believe the official story for 9/11 for now.

I guess this in itself is not right-wing, as far as I’m aware. It’s more that the mindset of conspiracy-theorists leans more towards the right because, in general, the conspiracy theory rabbit hole often lead to anti-Semitism. If you look at Q-Anon and pizzagate and a lot of far-right culture over the last decade, it’s all conspiracy theories within conspiracy theories. The biggest predictor of whether you will believe any given conspiracy theory is if you already believe another conspiracy theory.

You’re welcome

Un-ironically, believing in conspiracy theories is a good first step towards the alt-right. I hate to say it because it sounds so alarmist and slippery-slope-ist but I believe it to be true. If you look at QAnon and a big chunk of Trump supporters, they have the same conspiracy theory mindset. A lot of conspiracy theories have anti-Semitism at the core, and believing one conspiracy theory (especially about a subject as emotionally charged and that has caused so much harm historically) is a good way to start believing more and more conspiracy theories.

We have seen in the recent past how the alt-right uses comics and “harmless” memes to recruit and it’s a big factor as to how Trump won the first presidency.

So, in conclusion, you’re correct and it isn’t right wing. It’s the first step down that path and I automatically lumped it in with the right because of that

Hey, how about let’s not promote right wing conspiracy theories?

He’s right, everyone is a little racist. That’s what happens when you’re raised in a racist society.

But that shit was really racist

Maybe he’s sleepwalking?

Ah yeah 😏

Interesting, thanks

Not in the same way, certainly. Several of us are even using the metric system now!

It used to be 240 pence to a pound, before decimalisation (when it was updated to 100p to a pound because we were no longer insane)

That’s why God invented the microwave
