Off With Their Heads...

I have posted to it since I made that reply.

My remark on the dearth of condemnation about Charlottesville was to illustrate, at least so far as I could ascertain noting that there may have been data loss since 2017, the double standards on Tweb given the plethora of comments offering criticism and/or outright condemnation of the pro-Palestinian protests and some of the chants made by those protesters.

Likewise the chants to hang Mike Pence seem to have been played down by one or two contributors.

In other words many of you are incensed by the language of some pro-Palestinian protesters but appear to either ignore or gloss over similar language from more "conservative" quarters.

For the record, I don't get incensed about anything. It serves no useful purpose whatsoever.

It was downplaying, excusing, and distraction away from a group you are trying to protect. After all, you could have done all of the above AND included a "I condemn calls for violence" or even a "that was inappropriate".

Instead, you came up with excuses.

Of the regular contributors, particularly to Civics, several are on the political Right or possibly alt-Right. Hence inappropriate behaviour from individuals that hold similar political viewpoints are regarded by those contributors with less opprobrium than comparable behaviour from those that those contributors despise or fear , i.e. what is generally termed "the Left".

Lets be specific instead. You comments were not on the dearth of condemnation surrounding Charlottesville. Your comments (admitted by you) were around the dearth of condemnations surrounding a chant at Charlottesville, when that specific chant was also eclipsed in the news cycle by events much larger than the chant itself.

So, in essence, it's the same as saying people should be outraged because one of your countrymen didn't use the proper pronoun for a Jewish person before that person was put into a Gas Chamber.

That's the nature of the universe, especially the cyber one, Princess. There are PLENTY of people out there attacking "the right", so I don't feel obligated to take up their cause.

And you're going to pretend we don't have those on the political LEFT or, particularly, the far left LOONY Left?

You mean like your double standard when it comes to the Jews and Muslims? And who supported Charlottesville or the Pence thing? I condemn both - did you condemn the Guillotine thing? Where?

[rogue06]

Exactly! So you must support Nazism going by your idiotic parameters. If nobody mentioned or condemned a specific chant at Charlottesville you assume they condone it. So you not condemning Nazism in a thread about Germany must mean you condone it!

H_A "logik™" at its finest.

You appear to be trying to justify the, apparent, Tweb silence on the Charlottesville chant. I also provided quotes from contributors to Civics, one more a more frequent contributor than the other, playing down the chant to hang Mike Pence and instead quibbling over their interlocutor's use of insurrection for the events of 6 January 2021.

Your later remark is another example of your peculiar thought processes.

Did you condemn the chant made by the alt-Right at Charlottesville or the chant at the Capitol to hang Mike Pence? If so, where?

No, the later remark is illustrative of the inanity of your complaint.

It seems you do not care for the double standards of those on the Right being addressed.

Feel free to address them. However, when you do so AS A DISTRACTION expect to be called out.

In more succinct terms. You can feel free to start a thread on them so as not to distract from the thread here.

Should I click my heels and reply Sieg Heil to that?

[CivilDiscourse]

I have.

Where? All I've seen is downplaying and excusing them. You seem rather silent on any condemnation or condonement of them.

I suppose calling Sieg Heil is a natural reaction for you.

The various chants made by pro-Palestinian protesters are part of being in a protest. It is what people do. Some people take it one step beyond of course but a few students chanting that senior administrators should be guillotined is not going to lead to the collapse of American society, it is nothing but exaggerated language.

And given that the chants to hang Mike Pence or that Jews will not replace us appear to have caused so little concern among certain Twebbers I find those same Twebbers comments about what a few students chant to be examples of their double standards.
