Every single name is worth being googled, read and heard.

Shame on you for not reading the article.

First the Israeli team insulted them as being antisemitic, obviously because Ireland stands with Palestine.

Therefore they refused to exchange politenesses in advance of the game.

It was the Israelis who started behaving badly. You know just like the conflict that didn’t start on October 7.

I don’t understand that. What did Democrats do or say to make you claim they’re “revolving around playing victim and identity politics”? Could you give some examples of that behavior?

I mean, maybe I am too far left or just too European, but from my POV it clearly looks as if it’s the rightwingers who are doing their part of identity politics by fighting the “woke” people vigorously.

While Democrats just want minorities and disadvantaged groups to enjoy the same rights as everybody else. Which I would appreciate.

That’s kind of true from a moral viewpoint. But those are of no good because they don’t change anything.

The Democratic Party is a spectrum from social democratic to pretty conservative politicians, no fascists.

I think Bernie Sanders is quite on the left even by European standards. But he’s not a communist.

If you want more left politics vote progressive Democrats in every election, especially those local and regional ones. That’s the way to get a left party in the USA. And that will make a more left democratic candidate for president possible and eventually some left governers and a left President.

Emotional it’s a totally proportional response according to what the pranksters did to him. Humiliating people can easily provoke them to act aggressively. Especially people of low status who can’t afford a lawsuit. Every police officer knows that.

But of course a human society should have laws to prevent its members from this kind of situations.

It should be illegal to provoke, assault, harass, disrespect , threaten, or humiliate anybody in the way those pranksters did.

And it should be illegal for any random guy to carry a loaded and unlocked gun around in his pocket.

But because neither is illegal in the United States, the number of gun victims there is more similar to that in war zones.

And obviously none of the Americans in this thread give a shit about the social problematics of the case and rather fight irreconcilably over defending or blaming the shooter.

Just another reminder how stupid American laws on weapons are. In every normal country this couldn’t happen because that guy wouldn’t have a gun in the first place. It would have ended in a fight or in the shooter suing the prankster and getting a lot of money while the prankster would be told by court to stop this stupid pranks.

How about names. Do you call Muhammad Ali still Cassius Clay? Just because that’s the name he was given at birth. Should people not have the right to change their name? Like it is here in Germany. And what exactly do you consider stupid about the pronouns them or they? I think they (!) are just normal pronouns, aren’t they? And for quite some time they are regularly used to replace single persons, if the gender of that person isn‘t known. I know that because when that started I was totally confused because I had learned different at school in the 70s.

Socialism is when you don’t have to do alienated work. And when noone else has to. Of course the productivity will be higher if you share the means of production with others. But it’s perfectly fine to work on your own too and harvest the fruit of your work. As you know, nobody gets rich by his own hands work, but you can get along. Capitalist exploitation starts when other people work for you and when you take the added value for your own benefits.

It’s just indication to the fact, that the biggest part of our assumed development, our democracy, or our rule of reason is but a delusion.

“The debt caused by fossil fuels are being structured to be paid back by fossil fuels”

At least that’s what the current hegemon says to the world.

You need less space when you can park backwards. Considering parking in a lane parallel to the traffic.

How do you know they committed a crime. After reading the article I don’t know. It looks totally as if it’s possible that she just had a miscarriage.

Maybe there’s just a prosecutor eager for convictions.

Maybe she was trying do avoid exactly this kind of trouble.

We don’t even know if she had an abortion. May she had a miscarriage and was just trying to avoid what’s happening now, being accused of having had an abortion.

Now that sounds a lot like theocratic hellscape…
