“You Muslims must die!”
Wadea Al-Fayoume a 6 year old Palestinian American boy was just stabbed to death in Illinois by his landlord shouting these words. His mom Hanaan was stabbed as well and in critical condition.
Death to amerikkka, death to the zionist entity, unlimited genocide upon the first world!
Surprising to see ableism from a
banned for spouting reactionary garbage.

Reason: Call for violence
The part about genocide is absurdist satire of Western genocidal tendencies. They are not serious.
So you're really gonna pretend like you weren't sure, seriously?
I've said it once and I'll say it again, every cracker dreams of being oppressed
There's every kind of crackpot on the internet. And considering just how many people I've seen literally calling for the genocide of all palestinians, it's not so inconceivable to see the opposite.
Calls for the genocide of the usual victims of colonialism are typical and expected, the opposite is not
And browsing this instance for even less then a minute would've confirmed that obvious fact, the best you can say for yourself is that you're simply impervious to context clues, which isn't something I would brag about
Either way you should probably critically examine some of your priors, cause they just led you into some very easy to spot quicksand
Idk how you can see this and NOT experience the kind of primal rage Sleepless One is expressing.
You see shit like this and you think this response is a JOKE?
Can we criticize this or would that be considered supporting Hamas?
I was about to write something on social media about how horrible of a crime it was, but I didn't want to lose my job
learns that Palestinians are also Semitic
:shocked-pikachu:
I will not rest until every single post on this website ends with "Death to America"
Death to America
I hate it.
This is the exact same cruelty that was in the air in ‘02.
If our batshit insane media would fairly represent the conflict, shitheads like this wouldn’t hate innocent children.
That is deeply backwards thinking. What reason would this miserable fucker have to upend his life to murder a child if not for the decades of media justifying western imperialism by portraying Muslims as vermin?
You're right that everyone is a product of their environment, and there is a world where people like this aren't so heavily propagandized that they resort to murder and genocidal thinking.
I can also see how that statement could appear anti-Semitic, but it's not. Because this guy is in the same camp as school shooters and American "great replacement" nazis. They have totally bought into the lies and perpetuate violence in service of the fucked up systems they buy into.
I say this not as a challenge but, I suppose, a failure of my reading comprehension. Which statement could be read as antisemitic?
Just the phrase "people like this". We know here that I'm talking about reactionaries and zealots, but out of context it could be read as (((people like this)))
I was talking about my own post of that wasn't clear
Some shitheads would still be bigoted pieces of crap and do fucked up shit like this, sadly.
Think about it critically: How often is someone murdered in the USA specifically for being Irish? Even though they were once a wildly minoritized group, only a few steps in standing above the demonizing black people faced at certain points in history, and to this day lots of stereotypes that would suggest the Irish being thought of as alcoholic, violent untermenschen get tossed around casually, and yet today throughout the country you would need to search and search to find anywhere that someone would encounter actual violence, let alone be murdered for simply looking Irish, especially a child. Could you find literally one or two alcoves? I assume so, it's a big country with many cults and similar social formations, but that is nothing, nothing compared to the institution of Islamophobia (or anti-black racism) in this country.
Murderous racism does not simply spring from the Earth fully-formed. It is cultivated, groomed, and endlessly reproduced by segments of the powers that be for specific social purposes. Treating it as simply something that happens due to random chance and the moral failings of individuals is a product of the liberal refusal to consider systemic solutions to problems.
Yeesh. All I meant was that you can't blame all of this on the media, and that even if by some miracle, all media stopped with their panicky bullshit, there would still be a good contingent of racist fuckwads who would continue to carry out violent acts.
I'm not saying we shouldn't try making progress, I'm just saying there's more to it than one point of radicalization.
You are still avoiding the question: "Where does racism come from?" Does it just emerge in the souls of Bad People from no previous source, or is it transmitted? Where is it transmitted from?
Racism as we see it is a symptom of the imperialist social order, not a primary mover. There is no reason to believe that if we overturned that social order and made deliberate effort to root out the reactionary warping it has inflicted on the minds of useful idiots, that we would see incidents like this beyond the highest level of freak deviation from the norm, rather than the mere spike that the event in the OP represents. The world can be better, humanity can be better, but it requires looking more closely at what is currently making them worse.
Racism is a learned behavior, and there isn't one single source. This is what I have indicated multiple times. I'm unsure as to how this has become an argument.
How is it learned? Do the owls teach it? Do the ferns? Perhaps the wind?
... bro, are you ok? You're making zero sense.
Just to appease you, one of the possible *many *ways to learn how to be a racist would be from the behaviors of the people around you, such as family and friends. The point I'm making is that the media is not the sole point of radicalization and that while them cleaning up their shit would help, it wouldn't completely eradicate racist fuckwads.
I'm not sure what you think I'm saying, but I'm just saying there's more to it than just one single thing. Now chill the fuck out.
My point is simply that it works on a basis of vectors of transmission and vectors can be addressed. We must also agree that those friends and family got it from somewhere, right? It is not simply that the Johnsons have been passing down racism since their first patriarch, John, independently invented their specific instance of racism 3000 years ago, right? These things exist in environments where they are indeed transmitted useful idiot to useful idiot, but can only fester as they have because of interested parties inventing and perpetuating these ideas, deliberately creating environments in which they fester. Your racist uncle is going to appear as much more of a crank if he doesn't have white society echoing his words through insinuation at every moment.
It is difficult to legislate basic interpersonal relationships outside of the most extreme cases, but the overwhelming majority of how people are socialized (media, school, etc.) does fall under that purview and should be basically solvable, and at that point the racism of past generations won't matter all that much if their sentiments don't have soil that they are able to take root in because people have been overwhelmingly socialized away from it.
I'm not talking about legislation of anything. I'm not even offering a solution. I am merely saying that it's not just one source for radicalization. You are seriously overthinking and overanalyzing every fucking thing that I've said. Chill out.
Well, when the topic is "We should prevent the media from instigating these things", legislation is the only serious means, since the media companies don't give a shit about our personal disapproval.
But mainly, I think being contrarian without offering a solution is essentially a form of defeatism, and if that's all you can offer you'd be better off not saying anything. I don't think that's all you can offer, of course, so I've basically just outlined what the logical implications are for a non-defeatist to make the observation that enculturation isn't just media consumption. I've obviously been talking past you a bit from reply one, but I'm sure you can forgive me for that.
... pointing out something is bigger than just one thing is contrarian and defeatist? I think you need to lay off the Debate Bro youtube scene for a bit. And maybe throw out your thesaurus. Seeing as how you think my one simple statement deserves paragraphs of drivel showing that you're not actually paying attention, I'm quite over your drivel. Take care, and I hope you find a worthy interlocutor some day.
seeing shit on
that this guy is a polish jew and that 'they need to be dealt with' (re: the jewish community). so much genocidal rhetoric out and about now. when will we get back to the point where the media decries germans and swedes as swarthy?As soon as we deal with the Melancholic Danes and Perfidious Belgians
Of course you would, you have the sloping brow of one of those Pusillanimous Luxembourgers
I truly believe some of that is intentional astroturf to discredit support of Palestinian liberation or being anti hate crime, as well as also internet pilled individuals so far down the racism pipeline they exist in some 5th dimensional space of hate.
media that whipped him up into a killing frenzy now condemns man they convinced to do this. No this won't effect how they portray muslims going forward
Hasn't changed how they keep portraying the Chinese and East Asian people
Biden two minutes later:
"Those Palestinian terrorist babies deserved it."
"Condemning" a violent act is as effective as sending a prayer to the victims. You're the most powerful man in America and all you do is send empty words like you did after the last dozen mass shootings.
"Don't just give us some useless platitudes and then do nothing"
"No"- liberals
The Americans are a violent people who knifed 40 babies to death..
"I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with Blood. I had... vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done"
And the anti-muslim hate crime spree has already started.
Won't let that stop MSM from fearmongering about roving gangs of antisemites beating up Jews though!
And then when Jews do get beat up by neo Nazis, the media will talk about why it’s so important that we don’t criminalize nazism.
We need more music about Mao tbh
Music brings people together, so maybe this is the only way forward
Hey theres a significant lack of modern music w communist subtext. Going forward if youre gonna create political media that should be a standard
There absolutely should be controls on mass media, but it's one of those things where the mechanisms will only be abused by a government owned lock and key by capitalists, just as gun control is often implemented in cases where a community wants to defend itself from cops. There can be no solution except to separate the rich from the levers of state power in favor of a more genuine form of democracy.
I'd rather all the monopolies be broken up into dozens+ more companies and allow actual difference of viewpoints to flourish instead of the current system that is completely controlled by corpos/government
also there should be far more public access media than just a single one for a select few locations
We all know why this man did this, and the propaganda machine behind it, but all I can say is
He was a landlord too, you can just see who he was. His face is in the video, fox news boomer
