Yeh sure. The "right" never dream of calling anyone names.

They wouldn't think of calling anyone an "SJW", or a "cuck" or "woke", or a "libtard", or "snowflake"...ad nauseam.


:rolleyes:

I said when I debate them.
I'm sure you would encounter those responses judging on how you've replied to me in the past.

The ADL can kiss my shiny wet ass. I am not giving up the OK sign. I use it when diving to signal to my dive partner that I am ok, not that I am some racist American prison gang member.

ADL website:

4 Things You Can Do to Combat Hate

• Bring ADL to your school/community -(leads to)-> Rely on ADL's expertise.
• Raise your voice and be heard in congress -->Support all the acts we agree with.
• Report a hatecrime in your community --> If this is an emergency, please dial 911.
• Register for never is now 2019 -->Asking people to register for their event.

The first two ways proposed by the ADL to combat hate are worrying to me. These guys have far more influence then they actually should have.

No doubt there are plenty of emotionally unstable folk who think this is racism.

They are so literal they can't understand intent.

Still doesn't explain that your original text (https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=111368753&postcount=32) the one you now claim is all your own work is made up of blocks of text copied from conspiracy subforums on 4chan, 8chan and what appears to be an openly and virulently anti-semitic blog.


What's that all about?

I'm still waiting for you to identify errors of fact. The origins of the ADL, the murder of Mary Phagan and Leo Frank: You said these are conspiracy theories, yet you haven't been able to back up that claim.

Lol, 24 hours later and you still can't post the source you copied your original text from. The one that appears to only appear on extremist far-right or far-right conspiracy sites.

The onus is on you, the person making the claim to back it up, not on me to investigate it for you.

This has been brewing for a while for all that missed it, Blizzard banned their gamers from using the OK symbol at their events.

Now the anti-defamation league have officially declared the OK gesture a 'hate symbol'.



https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/okay-hand-gesture


In years to come we'll have politicians apologizing for having used the OK gesture in the past. Start deleting your photos guys and start act accordingly, we can't be seen to be racist!

I get all my leftist new thing to give out about off you. Not seen this before. I feel I'm late to the outrage at the outrage party.
You realise this preemptive outrage will die away soon? People get bored.

By the way, are you an antisemitic? I mean this is a Jewish movement. Or is it only antisemitism if you criticise Israel?

You're the only one outraged here, even the article says:

Because of the traditional meaning of the “okay” hand gesture, as well as other usages unrelated to white supremacy, particular care must be taken not to jump to conclusions about the intent behind someone who has used the gesture.

Enough is Enough!

Well, sure, if the baby boomers in the ADL say the ok symbol is hateful I guess it must be true.

No you were trying to stir. You must be trolling the matrix all day to find this guff.

The subtext is you are on a mission to dismiss or belittle anyone speaking out on issues you disagree with.

Lies.
I asked if you were.
Pointing out that the ADL is a pro-Israeli organisation. And right wing folk tend to side with Israeli policy.
It's ironic to use a relatively innocuous article from a right wing organisation to take the piss out of the left. We've come full circle I guess.

No i'm not anti-semitic.

Fine, here are some questions for you.


Are you a nazi because you're accusing me of being anti-semitic?
Are you an idiot because you can't comprehend the original post?
Are you a liar because you lied about calling me a **** stirer?, when in actual fact I was posting some real recent information.
Are you the type of far-left woke activist that everyone is pissed off with, not just in this forum but around the world?

So editing peoples comments is very clever debate now? I can see where your 'ideas' are coming from

By the way, are you an antisemitic? I mean this is a Jewish movement. Or is it only antisemitism if you criticise Israel?...

You lied. I pointed it out, relax.

Also FYI: They didn't ban it they merely stated some racist groups use it. The even said not to jump to conclusions if you see it.

I honestly find that with the right these days. If you even take Boards as an example look at all the outrage threads about the supposed outrage from liberals/the left.
I see more complaining threads like this one than any actual lefty/liberal threads of folk 'triggered'.
Anyone calling out racism, white supremacy and looking for equality are the new sinners and heretics. The new enemy. It's a concern how many buy into it.
MAGA really sums it up. The minorities and poor have had it too much their own way for too long? What incredible nonsense.

They are not the new enemy however, these kinds of people can be found in history in events like the Salem Witch Trials.

Agreed, the conservatives go back a long way.

We're talking about people who make wild accusations of others. Just like you did with your first post in this thread. Trying to shoe-horn in right-wing and conservatives is just deflecting and whataboutism.
