That actually got me a temp ban here once, as well.

It was even a nuanced “both sides are human” take, not Hamas is awesome. I know, I wasn’t expecting it for that either.

Yeah. The thing is, it’s the main emotional motivator there is here.

Nah, people will hate over the dumbest, tiniest things. I’m a Jew, Germans are and were perfectly nice people. You probably hate me right now, and I haven’t done anything. At the other end, terrible people have done wonderful things.

I know you’re going to forget this exchange ever happened, but if I could pick a takeaway, it actually wouldn’t have anything to do with the police. (Hey, I don’t like them either)

And the entire industry of manufacturing spit hoods, and furnishing prisons with things they won’t stab each other with, and various other grim things. And common knowledge. And those shitty live cop shows that used to be on. And common sense that criminals aren’t nice.

It’s also not the first such thing I’ve personally seen, and probably won’t be the last. You see, I’m not rich like typical Lemmings, and (not to be a dick about it) honestly probably you.

Yeah, but at that point it was pretty much a ghost town. The only acceptable commentary to some people is whatever they type to themselves.

It’s kind of typical human behavior. People love forming little groups and then wailing on any outsiders to them. It feels good.

Somehow, it’s way easier to get banned here than over there, though.

It’s slightly less obvious than “log off”.

That looks a whole lot like like practices you don’t like, but which are legal.

Yes, they are. You think whatever asshole doing a domestic is above it? They manufacture spit hoods because that’s a regular issue.

I literally witnessed an arrest like this myself within the past month or so.

English is not generally considered a race anyhow. Depending on context and how ignorant of actual England you are, that could still be making fun of a culture and ethnic group, or it could just be making fun of a dialect.

Which countries block it?

Sure, and if you’re the sort of person that needs everything to be sorted into neat black or white bins, maybe that’s relevant.

The fact that getting screamed at and spit on is unpleasant remains, though.

My money is on Syria but bigger.

So? That’s still not what organised crime means.

Haha.

Yup. We fully transitioned by 2020 and this won’t have any negative effects, especially not on Europe. /s

It’s not about qualifications, it’s about why would anybody in Iran listen to him? This is military logic, it’s not like you take out the previous guy and then everyone listens to you; you have to make them. As it is, Trump might as well declare the guy in charge of the UK. Brits would about as motivated to give up their money when it comes time to pay him taxes.

If there were American troops on the ground they could make it meaningful, but there won’t be, and an airstrike isn’t precise enough to enforce laws.

I’ll be watching oil prices like a hawk. I hear there’s a glut, and this possibility will have been priced in already a bit, but it’s going to go up.

It’s not really a major trade route for anything except oil. If you look on a map you’ll see why.

They didn’t want whatever ludicrous “deal” Trump would have offered, and are much more evenly matched with Americans than you might think. At least in a defencive war.

(And really, it’s Iran, I doubt the rest of the Axis of Resistance had much of a say)
