You can explain why being anti some religion and thus being anti all people practicing that religion is something that you deserve to be shamed for, but you can't explain the same thing for being *fearful* of that religion
Especially since the progressives are all about their *feelings*
I think anti-semitism and islamophobia are contextually different
Criticism of anti-semitism begins with the assumption that the Jews are the same as all of us, and ends with the conclusion that there's no reason *to persecute them.* Whereas criticism of islamophobia only begins the same way (I think, not sure) but it ends with the conclusion that there's no reason *to fear them persecuting us.* I.e. Muslims shouldn't be considered dangerous, where as Jews should just not be persecuted.
I know this is an oversimplification of actual reality, I'm talking about the perception of the general public.
If you change the context and include the fact that Jews conquered Israel and stole it back from the Muslims hundreds of years after it was stolen from the Jews, well...
But that's not the matter at hand when anti-semitism is discussed
By the way Israel is perfect evidence for why we should make sure too many Muslims do not enter Europe
Even though they're highly ineffective in their war efforts, we don't need such bloodshed
Imagine believing that the British monarchy is ceremonial
Man, the House of Lords is just a name mahdude, don't be such a silly wanker
This ain't the House of Lords
I know, just mentioning it for further context
This is the goddamn queen of the UK temporarily dissolving parliament
Ah
Man it really feels like that Italian crime is a pretty damning example that host nations shouldn't of trusted European refugees
But speaking of which,
>theocratic seats
>hereditary seats
MFW I ask people if Britain is democratic and they say yes
Democratic but a poor excuse for one
Democratic compaired to the times everywhere had one choice in their area (lord of the manors forst born), but due to party polorisation in many areas just a farce to entertain the public... too many places where votes are won because of the colour of the rosette.
Democracy died in Britain when the lands were flooded with aliens
No that's actually the point when democracy should've saved Britain from the aliens
But it wasn't democratic
Also anti semitism and islamophobia are definitely the same in that they're discrimination against a group of people for being said group of people.
The conclusion of islamophobia is definitely the same as anti semitism it just the method of persecution is different.
I'm no scholar on the ideological beliefs of either but damn know that they act as groups against the interests of others.
Jewish "persecution" of goys occurs differently than that of Muslims.
It's more insidious than the outward oppressive force Islam presents.
I'd definitely be interested in learning more about Judaism especially regarding the Talmud to which I've heard has some pretty damning stuff in it.
There's stuff there as there is with Islam but I'm going out now so I'll leave it there.
democracy doesnt have to behave the way you want it to😂
neh, Islamophobia is just an irrational fear of islam and muslims
islamophobia is not discrimination. Anti-semitism is.
correct
One of my favorite bits from Common Sense: ```The nearer any government approaches to a republic the less business there is for a king. It is somewhat difficult to find a proper name for the government of England. Sir William Meredith calls it a republic; but in its present state it is unworthy of the name, because the corrupt influence of the crown, by having all the places in its disposal, hath so effectually swallowed up the power, and eaten out the virtue of the house of commons (the republican part in the constitution) that the government of England is nearly as monarchical as that of France or Spain. Men fall out with names without understanding them. For it is the republican and not the monarchical part of the constitution of England which Englishmen glory in, viz. the liberty of choosing a house of commons from out of their own body—and it is easy to see that when republican virtue fails, slavery ensues. Why is the constitution of England sickly, but because monarchy hath poisoned the republic, the crown hath engrossed the commons?```
How I'd sum that up: powerful people suck, remove power from them to improve things
But hey, you can't say that in a world where we still think powerful people mean good
*... there must be a joke somewhere in there*
@Holincxas TBF, Hinduohobia and Sikhophobia haven't really been a problem since 9/11 (and even then, it was only a tiny problem on parts of the East Coast, like in NJ AFAIK)
What a totally asinine statement
@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck ah fair enough, it doesnt help that even when 9/11 happened I was at the age where politics were not important, especially compaired to the need to gain the attention of any female with a pulse XD.
The rape scandals in Rotherham, Telford, Newcastle etc were examples of Ethnic Cleansing by social services.... Discuss.
