ArbiterXero , in Biden calls Japan and India xenophobic: ‘They don’t want immigrants’

Japan doesn’t have the space, and India already has the population…… what’s his point?

Melkath ,

Also incorrect.

Largely due to the birthrate crisis and a problem with abandoned homes, Japan is trying to entice people from other countries and of child bearing age to sign contracts where they get an abandoned home for dirt cheap if they commit to renovating the home and living in it for at least 10 years.

Aurenkin , in Biden Echoes Fascist Rhetoric in Speech Denouncing “Lawless” Pro-Palestine Protests

When it comes to genocide silence is violence, not protest.

givesomefucks , in Biden Echoes Fascist Rhetoric in Speech Denouncing “Lawless” Pro-Palestine Protests

In his remarks, Biden falsely claimed — without citing a single instance of pro-Palestine demonstrators instigating violence — that the pro-Palestine protests have been violent and threatened the safety of their communities. He then condemned the supposed “lawless[ness]” of the protests, purposefully neglecting to acknowledge the U.S.’s role in Israel’s repeated violations of international law.

Motherfucker acts more like trump every day...

At least when trump said this shit about BLM, all Dem politicians and the media called him out.

Biden says this about people protesting a genocide America is funding, and if you mention it people get made and accuse you of helping trump.

Why the fuck aren't people demanding more than either of those two old assholes?

TropicalDingdong , in Biden calls Japan and India xenophobic: ‘They don’t want immigrants’

Just digging the hole deeper.

I called it elsewhere, but Biden sub 30's in the next two weeks.

SpaceNoodle ,

Yeah, he really needs to start pandering to bigots.

Not the first time he's echoed fascist rhetoric, and it won't be the last

I don't want to say he's a fascist, but if the jackboot fits...

Says the segregationist that is continuing and escalating all of Trump's worst immigration policies.

14mission , in House Passes Bill That Defines Criticism of Israel as “Antisemitism”

@BrikoX The constitution doesn't give congress authority over words.

PrincessLeiasCat , in House Passes Bill That Defines Criticism of Israel as “Antisemitism”

So can we criticize Saudi Arabia or is that considered Islamophobia?

ArmokGoB , in House Passes Bill That Defines Criticism of Israel as “Antisemitism”

Does this change anything? Hate speech is protected by the First Amendment.

The First Amendment only protects opinions, hence the defamation lawsuits being a thing. This law makes facts a violation of the law.

ArmokGoB ,

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Truth is widely accepted as a complete defense to all defamation claims.

The way you win a defamation lawsuit is by proving what you're claiming is factually correct. I'm gonna need some sort of case law citation showing that what you're claiming was ever an established interpretation.

ShimmeringKoi , in NATO sounds alarm over 'hostile' Russian activity across Europe
@ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net avatar

I'm sounding the alarm over hostile activity in my tummy, which is realistically a much more immediate threat to nearby life and infrastructure.

Maoo , in NATO sounds alarm over 'hostile' Russian activity across Europe
@Maoo@hexbear.net avatar

It pointed to "disinformation, sabotage, acts of violence, cyber and electronic interference... and other hybrid operations

Every accusation is a confession lol.

Imagine if NATO lovers applied these standards to themselves. All of Western Europe would just be one big crater.

I am so sick of fascism. Will there ever be a time in our lifetimes that it won't be as thick?

Username02 ,

Yes. Pick up arms. Keep marching on. The left has a really strong base that the media doesn't like to show. Don't give up hope.

RampantParanoia2365 , in House Passes Bill That Defines Criticism of Israel as “Antisemitism”

Guess I'm an antisemitic jew, then. Obviously that makes no fucking sense, but here we are.

alquicksilver ,
@alquicksilver@lemmy.world avatar

Nah, it makes perfect sense! If we don't support Israel, then we're not "real" Jews. Or is it that we're supposed to be self-hating? Either way, I know I always look forward to (usually some flavor of Christian) politicians telling me how to be a Jew.

Rapidcreek , in House Passes Bill That Defines Criticism of Israel as “Antisemitism”

What it primarily does is tell the Department of Education that when it enforces federal anti-discrimination laws, it must use the definition of antisemitism put forward by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). DoE enforcement actions of this sort are somewhat uncommon, and take a long time to play out. So, it's really tough to see great relevance

applepie ,

This is about sending a message and creating legal framework for fucking over dissent.

Rapidcreek ,

Like I said, the law is seldom used, but those that see monsters in the closet always will.
