  • The article is terrible. What actually happened? Was his violence actually unprovoked or was it self defense? It says some shit about him being surrounded and liquid thrown on him.

    Violence is never appropriate, except in self defense.

    If he wasn’t defending himself this is probably a hate crime, and he should have the book thrown at him.

    Edit ah, the other comment linked article indicates he started things by trading insults with the group. So he walked into the situation.

    Fuck what Israel is doing to Palestine. This dude should have just walked away in the first place.

    If there is video of them pushing him down and surrounding him, then it’ll be a messy case.












  • Edit and here you are, casually excluding the admittedly and respectfully ignorant, while they try to become better informed.

    Is this how you think you bring people to your position? Or educate them?

    Edit this is a global discussion platform. Someone is allowed to say “I don’t know what that is”. You don’t have to hold their hand, you could for example say “those are political factions in Taiwan,” and that’s that, but criticizing someone for saying they don’t understand is gatekeeping, shitty behavior. Assuming their political alignment (and then denigrating them for that assumed alignment), all based on their seemingly good natured request for clarification is additionally shitty.

    Edit edit it is also a journalistic and academic standard to write out acronyms the first time they are used, this isn’t an opinion thing, a political alignment thing or any else.
