I believe this comes from people trying to show off their education. Traditionally, words with a french descent were pronounced with a silent H. So for example hospital (from French hôpital) is an hospital, where hound (from Germanic hund) is a hound.
This is pretty much deprecated these days and anyone enforcing it is beyond grammar nazi, but it's interesting to know the pattern.

"That Thou Art Mindful of Him" is the robot story of Asimov's that scared me the most, because of this exact reasoning happening. I remember closing the book, staring into space and thinking 'shit....we are all gonna die'

I'm autistic, so it's hard for me to map those cartoons onto a real face. They all kind of look like captain Barnacle to me to be honest. It's probably better if I don't know, I suppose.
Bottom line though is of course that nobody should be judged on their appearance because that's blatantly stupid. Further, I think, when you break it down, judging someone because their appearance conforms loosely to your idea of the appearance of a population which is most concentrated in a country whose government's military is committing atrocities against a country whose population's appearance conforms to one to which you think you belong... is beyond stupidity and can be nothing short of outright malicious. Fuck that you have to deal with that. Especially since you've been outspoken in your opposition to the crimes of that government.

I've only ever found Muslims to be at worst civil and at best excellent friends. And I used to live in Luton (highest proportion of Muslim population in the UK). I'm not Jewish though.

Weird question - I've never been able to say for sure if someone is Jewish by looking at them (unless they're wearing a yarmulke or Hasidic getup). I remember someone at work telling me to go talk to Mark, he's the 'obviously Jewish guy', and having zero idea who that was. Even when he was pointed out to me I couldn't see what was different from him and any other dark-haired European. Is this a me problem or are people just projecting patterns?

Don't be daft lad, you're one of us now!
Anyone putting up with this fucking weather is.
2 rules:

1. Don't be a cunt.
2. See rule 1.

Anyone othering you is in breach of rule 1 and will be tutted at furiously

"Antisemitic rhetoric" should be in quotes too, if you were going for sarcasm. I hope you were going for sarcasm

You are absolutely right

I'd just like to add an argument against the death penalty. The common argument is that we sometimes get it wrong so we can't have it because you can't reverse the sentence, and that is a strong enough argument. However, if one day we have a justice system that can be 100.000% certain of guilt (or society at large is persuaded of this, even if it isn't true...) then I still don't believe we should have the death penalty, because it's not possible to be 100% certain that there is no chance of rehabilitation. I'm someone who has had a family member horrifically and senselessly murdered, and I still believe revenge achieves exactly nothing. It just adds bodies to the pile and increases suffering. It won't bring back your loved ones, or, crucially, reduce your suffering one iota to see the guilty suffer or die.
The question really is: why the hell would any civilised society, whose citizens believe themselves to have mastered their animalistic nature, want the death penalty?

Hanlon's razor dictates that we should not attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence.
So, by posting this response, you are very, very stupid. You are incompetent of understanding the fundamental difference between the VIDEO of Elon saluting Adolf Hitler, and the IMAGES of all these people waving.
If you respond to this, you're showing that you have enough intelligence to understand the difference between Elon's gesture and a wave, so you're therefore defending his sieg heil and you remove all doubt that you are a Nazi, and therefore unwelcome here, or anywhere.
I guess you have a third choice of claiming it was a joke or a shit post or whatever.

"Please, just reject the evidence of your eyes and ears, it's no biggie"

I hope (desperately) that you're right. There's always hope.

I think this legitimisation of them will only make them stronger. Growing up in the UK, the far right was so inconsequential it might not have existed. Small pockets of nutters who were ridiculed any time they tried to organise, nothing more. Now they're a serious problem, they're recruiting young men by the ton, and they're coming in second n elections everywhere. These views are becoming mainstream, you hear them on the street and in the pub. They aren't a majority yet, but their rise has been mercurial to say the last. If the trend continues we will have a white nationalist in power by the end of this decade. And I'm not seeing any signs of delay. Interesting times 😔

Ok, so in this particular instance, they're not having their strings pulled by the puppet masters? Is that what you're saying? They are acting on their own now? You said they are puppets. WHO IS PULLING THE STRINGS TO FORCE THEM TO ISSUE ARREST WARRANTS?

Oh ok. Right, so the west (Europe, UK, US) are PRO-Israel, meaning they are AGAINST the arrest warrants for Netenyahu et.al. If the west we're pulling the strings of the ICC, then it wouldn't have issued the warrants in the first place.

But then the west would be pulling the strings in a conspiracy against itself! That's nonsense sorry

Puppets of whom? Usually conspiracy theorists like yourself tend to point at Jews/Zionists/globalists when inventing some shady cabal that controls the police. But in this case that wouldn't make sense. So are you positing a pro-Palestine cabal, which has the power to control the ICC and the ICJ, but doesn't have the power to stop its people being massacred every day for over a year? Who? Who is pulling the strings in your puppet show?

If you've never done this with parmesan...you really, truly should. 😙🤌

Second

Yes, you won't get another iteration of the Nazi party directly. Like there won't be swastikas and eagles and Jew-hatred. But you could absolutely get fascism. Germany supported the genocide in Israel, which is apparently a-ok because it's not Jews who are suffering. As long as you have an Other to hate and fear, and enough uneducated/brainwashed people to rally behind you, you can fash it up. Chaplin moustache notwithstanding.
