Hate is on the rise around the world

[Loren Pechtel]

We can blame it on people like Trump in the US, but why is it happening in so many other parts of the world?

Do you see a rise in hatred in China or Russia?
I strongly suspect Chinese or Russian hacktivists of destabilizing rivels, spreading intolerance.

How would we know?

But I disagree--it's not hacktivists, it's state sponsored.

I made a thread on it but it's approptiate here too:

Man (i.e. racist pro-Israel dipshit) sees two people he thinks are Palestinian, shoots them. They're not even Palestinians.

That's what happens when the MAGA crowd keeps feeding people a steady diet of fear. Not the first that went after a non-threat, I would be stunned if it was the last.

The problem is I'm getting old. So I remember Xians blowing up other Xians in England. I remember Xians murdering children in a daycare in Oklahoma City. I remember a Xian bombing the Olympics in Atlanta.

Maybe I’m older than you but I remember muslims murdering people in New York on 9/11 or in Lockerbie in 1988. Do you not remember that?

I remember reading in the history books about how Anglo-Saxon Americans slaughtered native Americans and enslaved African-Americans. Did you not know about any of that?

But now we're paragons of peace and prosperity for all.
Just ask the Iraqis.

Good point. Does Swizzle have any idea how many innocent Iraqis were slaughtered in George W. Shrub’s delusional war? Of course not, because he doesn’t care. To him, Iraqis are Others. All that matters is the current weather in Santa Monica. There is so much hate in the world because of Othering. American MAGATs are perhaps the most hate-ridden people on the planet.

Fewer than were dying from Saddam weaponizing suffering in order to try to get the world to lift the sanctions.

It's not all mythology. Young people, and young men, in particular, are not flourishing, and having a difficult time becoming independent of their parents. But the wrong groups are being tagged with the blame for it. The Right Wing propaganda machine has persuaded many people that 'wokism' is to blame, and not the enrichment of those already rich..

Starting out in life has always been hard. MAGA is providing a convenient target to blame for reality.

Australia is affected too

Police in Australia have launched an investigation into a video appearing to show two nurses at a Sydney hospital boasting about killing and denying treatment to Israeli patients. New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb said on Thursday that the alleged incident represented a “new low” amid a spate of anti-Semitic incidents in Australia. “I am so upset that you are Israeli, eventually you are going to get killed,” the man says in the video. “I won’t treat them, I’ll kill them,” the woman is heard saying of Israeli patients. At another point in the video, the man, while moving his hand across his neck and using an expletive, says he sent many Israeli patients to Jahannam, using the Arabic word for hell.

Al Jazeera

The nurses have been identified and suspended.

Just suspended???

Suspended is the right course of action. Don't rush to judgment.

it's not hacktivists, it's state sponsored.

Is there a difference? Maybe I'm using the term 'hacktivist' wrong.

Yes, that’s horrific.

Are the OTHER things, instigated by the Orange Man-Baby Jaysus you voted for, ALSO horrific to you?

To be fair, I'm pretty sure TSwiz doesn't give a flying fuck about anti-semetism. This is just a typical attempt at him being obnoxious. He doesn't care that nazis flock to his side - pwming teh libtards always comes first for him.

And you would have thought that people in America understand the perils of employers having the power the summarily sack someone without due process considering current events but here we are.

Indeed so. Studies consistently show those on the left are less likely to tolerate political disagreement among their friends.
...

But does it mean what you think it means?

Or is it actually showing that Republicans are more likely to have positions radical enough to warrant cutting them out of their lives?

When you don't tolerate me it proves you're hateful; when I don't tolerate you I'm still tolerant -- all it proves is you must deserve to be hated. Man is not the rational animal; man is the rationalizing animal.

Every whack job I know IRL is on the right. Everyone who I know whose issues could be a harm to others is on the right.

I.e., the damage leftist policies do doesn't qualify as "harm to others" in your mind.

These people should be rescued, yes, but then sent back. That would remove the incentive to make these dangerous trips in the first place. As long as these "rescued" migrants keep getting into Europe this way, more and more millions from Africa, from Bangladesh, from Pakistan etc. will keep trying.

Return them to death? Because that's what will happen.

I take it you don't consider yourself a whack job. I take it you can't imagine how your issues could be a harm to others. And yet here you are, de facto advocating open borders. What, in your mind does giving millions of people from misogynist cultures an incentive to move to Europe faster than they can be convinced to give up misogyny have no causal connection to the explosion in violence against European women and girls?
