i really hope the jihadis were targetting the funnymag with a circulation less than that of shipping journals and knitting magazines specifically for something the funnymag did, because if they were hoping to make a more general statement then im afraid they set their sights terribly terribly low

to this day there's still a bunch of fair stands in and around my area that serve freedom fries and are over-the-top patriotic and i'm not sure if its just cause they don't wanna pay to change their siding/signage or if they're still 100% about it. one of them's always at the puerto rican fair

at some point that routine has to become self-conscious kitsch, like one of those diners where everything is all 50s-ed out

This is actually only a excuse American leftist use.
In reality Muslims cause problems in all european countries, no matter what policy the host country had towards muslims, soft/negligent/nanny state, it literally doesn't matter, they cause problems everywhere. Doesn't matter if the Muslims came over as ex-colonial subjects or migrants workers or refugees. One factor is common: once you start to have more than 1-2% of the population as muslims big social problems start to develop between them and the natives.

By your logic Muslims have actually been baiting us to enact the endlösung for decades. Luckily for them we can (probably) resist the temptation.

much like the loathed Trot, the modern race realist is a pathetic creature who presumes that he will of course be the gentleman in the central concern planning room overseeing the cattle car time tables, and not be required to sully his delicate hands with the machetes he screams for someone else to take up

i know very little about bakunin but dont care because i was grabbing a name out of the air to make a lazy joke about how my previous post was a rambling condemnatory joke about people posting lazy jokes about ethnic cleansing on the internet

we should educate muslims in the American technique of filling the aching hollowness of modernity with cheap snacks, instead of religious radicalism. cram your discontent with ding-dongs, Achmed.

they worship him a lot it seems, but they just make it illegal to say that they worship him. It's confusing

the whole reason there's a ban on images of the prophet, a ban which has never in history before recent memory been blanket or observed in totality, was to prevent people from treating him as a devotional figure

whoops, looks like the hardliners really hosed that one up huh!

its like fundamentalists are really good at fanatically enforcing the letter of the law to the point where they entirely destroy the spirit of the law or something

they claim to laugh at everyone equally so that makes it fair. the error there is that it only would be if everyone actually was equal

well yeah i imagine the dick-joke free weekly is not going to have the worlds most nuanced take on power imbalances in France, but there's a world of difference between drawing someone as a monkey to illustrate how loving batty Marine Le Pen is and drawing them as a monkey because you think they look like one.

ticking time bomb scenarios are vanishingly unlikely to occur in reality though.

the most efficient and productive interrogation the CIA ever conducted is still the time they gave the suspect cookies and just let him talk.

well if we both agree that the scenario you approve of the use of torture in is absurdly improbable, does it really even merit mentioning as a situation you'd approve of torture in? thats like me saying I'd approve of the unrestrained use of nuclear weapons in the event of alien invasion.
