I have been yelling ACHTUNG BITCHES! for some time and where am I wrong?




Nobody knows what the fuck you mean by it - so can't help you.

I know precisely what he means by it. 
So does kiid. Feigned ignorance is ignorant.

Nope.

Truly - I don't.

Larry thinks he is getting a rise out of folks by posting it.  Maybe earlier on he intended to shock someone - but now it is just folly.

Still not sure what Al Gore invented.

Godwin was antisemitic.

Ha!  I see what you did there.

You know.

You are mangling the metaphor.

I think you get the point.

I think you're missing brain cells because clearly you've yet to dispute your status, instead having secured it.

As someone who has physically had my head checked for horns, I would appreciate it if someone would point out something Larry posted that was anti-Semitic.

I have been following the whole conversation and it seems more like Larrys anti-fascism is being twisted much more than he is attacking Jews as a group. If individuals who draw fire from Larry are Jewish it it does not mean that they are drawing fire because they are Jewish.

If there is an instance of using Judaism as a smear coming from Larry it must have been very very subtle.

I've been perplexed by the claim, too.

 If individuals who draw fire from banks are black it it does not mean that they are drawing fire because they are black.
True, banks is an equal opportunity asshole who engages in long running highly personalized disputes where banks is positive in the Ambrose Bierce sense of the word with anyone who disagrees.with him on any subject. It also does not mean they are NOT drawing fire because they are black.
Quote
As for your request, diminishing the Holocaust to score political points is deeply offensive and it can be interpreted as anti-Semitic, especially when given the chance to rephrase or apologize the offender (Larry) then does not do so, and instead doubles down on that remark.
If making a reference to Nazis in an online discussion diminishes the Holocaust and is anti-semitic, every who has ever posted on a discussion board from the moment Al Gore invented it to the present day is antisemitic including you

Okay, Grandpa.

But the issue is that once it's been pointed out to be as such, as you and Larry both know.

By all means, compare these shitheads to Nazis. Again and again. I'm with you.

Peace organization threatens riots.

Leaders of New York City's Black Lives Matter movement on Wednesday reacting to their new mayor: https://news.yahoo.com/black-lives-matter-activists-threaten-030000354.html

 


This is no different than January 6 insurrectionists, disrespecting the results of an election.

I disagree.

It is not the election they are disputing, but the proposed actions of an elected official.

People have been protesting actions by elected officials for about as long as we have had a country.

People have not tried to physically stop the transfer of power very often at all.

If you truly don't then the sentences following "Truly - I don't" make zero sense.

They are stating that will be taking up arms against the government because they do not like the actions of the government.

That is not how it is done, and it is EXACTLY why it is the same.

Between 1819 and 1870 almost 250,000 French people came to the United States.

My Grandmother said that we have French royalty in our family tree who came from France to the USA to escape the French Revolution. But, I have no idea. Someday I will do the DNA test on ancestry.com.

I think that the French should have kept their royal family, like Spain, and like England. A Constitutional Monarchy is a great form of government.

The French Revolution was stupid and evil. Chopping people's heads off, just horrible.

And replacing their King with Napoleon was stupid.

Someone needs to produce a mini-series for Netflix of "The Count of Monte Cristo" which the French will love. It could be made at Cinecitta in Rome.

Salute,

Tony V.
