Do you think you contribute to this feeling in the country with your posting style and demonizing of the left?
Tangent: what % of people in here could we ask that question of? (Note: I’m not claiming moral superiority here)
100%
I don’t take it that way. This could have easily been an example with roles flipped. To me this is about how political polarization has harmed our social interactions.
Well she did try and deflect a couple times. Don‘t try and heckle a comedian if you aren’t prepared to become part of the show.
No disagreement. Sadly this is where we are as a country though. People can’t talk about who they voted for without an argument ensuing.
We did. There is a several page long thread about him in this forum. Got anything else to add?
Expressing unhinged antisemitic rants is "not toeing the line" in your world?
And @Stealthycat your news sources may not have posted the actual text of Kanye's tweet. So here it is, in case you were just regurgitating media talking points.
I think it’s more bringing up politics at a comedy club, being very unfunny, getting clowned on by the comedian, freaking out and acting a fool bad!!
So now I'm responsible for some lady throwing her drink at a comedian? Get out of here with that silly question. As Alex stated above, we could ask that question of you or anybody else.
They are doing him a favor right now. He appears to be having a mental episode.
You do?
Yeah. That’s the whole video.
I think most of us. IMO just clicking on this crap, repeating it, etc.. is contributing to this. The difference is, I am not posting as though I am not doing it to a degree or that it's just other people that are being absurd.
We have a whole thread about him. What's your point?
Holy hyperbole. Nowhere did I say that.
You may have no idea what he meant but nearly everyone else did.
Someone is sure to be offended by this - but I’m not one.
I think I do. Per the tweet, he is pretty clear that he intends to have an "increase in readiness beyond normal readiness"* when it comes to Jewish people. I don't know how to interpret that other than him as saying that he sees significant tension between himself and jewish people. He then references the theory of a rather controversial religious group called the Black Hebrew Israelites. In short, The Black Hebrew Israelites assert that they (black people) are actually the true descendants of the Hebrews referenced in the bible.** Kanye clearly must be referencing this movement/belief/group and associating himself with it because, in context, it's probably the only rational way that he can say that he is Jewish. Which then leads to the interpretation that a reader can't call his tweet anti-Semitic because he's saying he's Jewish to begin with. I'll make no comment as to whether his tweet is then, as a whole, logical and rational or just the rantings of somebody dealing with a mental health issue.
There is a good chance that a lot of her act is political - and so what.
The owners of the business when you break their rules?
Yeah I gotta imagine Trump was a common topic/issue/punchline at comedy clubs across the country during his presidency.
Right. FWIW I'm not sure of her act but the bits I did watch were a lot of self deprecating stuff.
"They" in this case are the people on Meta and Twitter. I think their rules are regarding anti-semitic posts. You can look them up if you like.
Marc Normand does this and is hilarious. Def worth checking out.
Just like his supporters apparently.
Huh? I used definition and fact to interpret in context what he seems to be saying. Words have definitions. Context is important. Staying within those lanes to draw reasonable conclusions does not constitute "going leaps and bounds."
If she posted whatever this was on Twitter I'd expect them to do that.LA City Council President Nury Martinez faces calls to resign after racist remarks emerge in leaked audio

how do we silence her like we're seeing Kanye silenced?
