LIberals supporting lynching.
I love how the overlap of people dumb enough to buy into bullshit like this, but intelligent enough to both want to, and be able to figure out how to use lemmy, is you and like 3 other people.
Just puts a big smile on my face.
Yeah, I don’t block this sub, so I see it when I scroll ‘All’ to look for new subs.
It’s always funny to see what made up shit they are outraged about today.
Then I remember they vote and it seems less funny.
Who’s outrage? Normally it’s the liberals are outraged. We are just having a discussion. That’s the difference. Conservatives like to have conversations, liberals like outrage.
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. I guess you haven’t seen all the videos of conservatives having “conversations” at school board meetings, public libraries, and the schools and grocery stores they’re shooting up then.
This article is literally manufactured outrage targeted at conservatives, but I wouldn’t expect you to understand that.
Who’s outrage(d)? Normally it’s the liberals (who) are outraged. We are just having a discussion. That’s the difference.(,) Conservatives like to have conversations, liberals like outrage.
A fox news article with a twitter post as it’s main source. Do you really think a conversation about this needs to extend further than ’ I changed my meds’ or ‘the doctors said it was a tumor, but my cousin Cletus said my head was always this big’?
To generalize, as you have done, Liberals like facts and science, they do sometimes become outrage(d) when someone suggests shoving UV light up you arse to kill a virus.
No liberals do not like facts or science.
Nobody suggested shoving uv light up their ass
In one sentence you just dispelled your argument.
You not only ignored the science but you ignored the facts.
You do realize Trump was referencing a study going on to use UV light in the throat to kill Covid? Of course not because science and facts are things you dislike.
What science do liberals not like? Can you provide some examplet?
I just gave an example. The uv light clinical trials for Covid.
You misunderstand. That is not an example of liberals hating science - the study was not verified (nor was it all that relevant for personal safety) when Trump talked about it and tons of his followers touted it as a cure anyway. Someone as illiterate as Trump should not be speaking about fringe science or giving medical advice
You’re seeing liberals on Lemmy? Most of the people here hate liberals almost as much as they hate conservatives.
This is also what I do. And actually since my life is empty I love to go to groups that are diametrically opposed to what I think. I then spend time downvoting everything there and arguing with people. I recently found a group that is all about hot dogs, you know the ones that you eat. And the group is all about the various kinds and how to best cook them. But I don’t like hot dogs so I go to that group everyday and just downvote every post and comment. And then I argue with the posters there. Don’t they know that since I don’t like hot dogs that everyone who does like them must be an asshole that I have to school.
I enjoy that this community could be replaced by a bot that reposts Fox News articles and nothing would change. You could even add in an automod that responds to comments with phrases like “Can you prove the article is wrong?” and “Actually it’s liberals who are racists.” for added immersion.
You have a cite to disprove the article?
There’s nothing to disprove, the article doesn’t prove those celebrities are supporting lynching.
On the other hand, I do support lynching the IDF. Preferably more along the lines of Nuremberg-style court-sentenced hangings like we did with the nazis, but I’m not picky.
So a symbol is celebrated, and lynching isn’t about lynching. Gotcha.
So you are citing a Fox News article, so that’s -1 off the bat.
The article itself did not properly tie the celebrities to the lynching.
The article talks about how Israelis consider the pin to be associated with an event in 2002. That involved 2 victims. Which is not only a stretch, but even if it were true, still does not mean the celebrities would be in on its secret meaning.
Honestly, i feel no matter the symbol that was chosen i am sure that there would be some connection made to discredit their actual motivation, which is to pressure a cease fire. Which is objectively moral.
Also even if it was true, the assertion that wearing the pin makes one an antisemite is false because Israel is not the Jewish people. You cannot blame all Jews for the war crimes of Israel, and Israel cannot frame criticism against it as antisemitism.
Find a better media diet.
Remember if you are a leftist…“Always question the source and never examine the facts if it conflicts with the narrative”
Is that what i did? Here are the facts: Artists4ceasefire during the Oscar’s used their collective voice to call for a cease fire.
They wore a red pin to show solidarity to this message.
Fox News reports that there are people who believe that the pin represents a double murder in 2002 by a mob.
Artists4ceasefire gives its meaning for the pin on there site, that does not connect it to the 2002 murders.
That is all. There is no connection established, and fox news insinuating there is one requires them to prove it. Which they did not do
he article talks about how Israelis consider the pin to be associated with an event in 2002. That involved 2 victims. Which is not only a stretch, but even if it were true, still does not mean the celebrities would be in on its secret meaning.
Does the pin predate that event?
I don’t know. When i look it up i see reporting that it was made by the group Artists4ceasefire. This is a group that consists of a large amount of actors and other entertainment personalities who signed an open letter demanding Biden push for a cease fire in 2023. So they made the pin sometime after that.
Is it your implication that because it was made after the murders in 2002 that means it’s connected, because if so you have failed to justify the connection.
“The Artists4Ceasefire enamel pin is composed of a red background to symbolize the urgency of the call to save lives,” the website said. “The orange hand conveys the beautiful community of people from all backgrounds that have come together in support of centering our shared humanity. The heart being cradled in the center of the hand is an invitation for us to lead with our hearts, always, to lead with love. When we lead with love, we understand that all of our fellow beings deserve to be loved and protected.”
Again, no matter what symbol they used, someone with an agenda can interpret to mean something that it was not intended in order to further that agenda. And the only people making that claim here has an agenda. Again even if you were right and the creator secretly intended to connect the two, you have to be able to prove that the participants were in on it. Which no one even attempted to do.
Is it your implication that because it was made after the murders in 2002 that means it’s connected, because if so you have failed to justify the connection.
I don’t really have a strong opinion. I post articles that have think are worthy of conversation. They don’t always reflect my views or opinions. I don’t like echo chambers.
The symbol appears to be tied to the murder of two Israeli soldiers. It seems to represent the genocide of the Jews.
It’s like the confederate flag. It may mean something good to someone else but it’s so tied to hate, you shouldn’t display it without knowing most people won’t perceive it well.
