Again, you're narrowing the discussion by focusing on this specific administration, my reasoning is general and should be referred to any presidency or state. These kind of authoritative behaviour can be enacted both by the left and the right, we should always be against them no matter what.

Questioning someone coming to your country makes no sense, if he has ill intentions he'll conceal them to enact on them once inside the country. The reasoning behind the questions you face entering a state is that, if you tell a lie, the state can arrest you for having commited a felony. What's the advantage in that if you have made yourself explode in a supermarket? You're gonna put bit and pieces of the terrorist in a cage for 40 years?

And what happen when the people questioning you find your answers to be not in line with the current political climate? When you're being detained in a separate room with no lawyer or witness capable of providing an independent account of the questioning and the consequent actions taken by the police? I personally am much more scared of state enforced violence rather than of citizen actions given the disparity in power these two type of violence entail.

All border questioning today usually take place in a well lit room full of other people keeping the law enforcement accountable and under scrutiny. If you don't think moving these kind of interactions in a closed room to be alarming or, at least, unprecedented I'm sorry to say you haven't thought about the extreme consequences this new policy may bring us to.

Lastly I return to my previous point: who has the right to identify a group of people as "terrorists"? Because if the answer is the same entity who then enforces the punishment against this group we are circular situation unacceptable for the legal standard we have set for our societies

So you're saying all documentarists and journalists who have been studying and interviewing people related to terrorist organisations should also be detained and questioned because interviewing someone is also supporting them? Or Anyone questioning the "terrorist" label, because questioning is supporting?

Beware of asking such restrictive reading of complex issues for your enemies, you can't always be sure to be on the side of the "good guys" and you might find sooner rather than later that your inability to understand the complexity of any matter could bring you behind bars with those who you felt were supporting a terrorist organisation

He hasn't had anyone from the Netanyahu administration on his stream. Maybe you're mistaking him with someone else

It also didn't mean that those who were wronged by the American state should have remained silent and peaceful in front of mass killings perpetrated by all kind of administrations leading the American government. Especially when no legal recourse was given to them.

Were you an Arab who lost his entire family under American bombardments because of the oil stored in your nation soil wouldn't you had wanted some kind of retaliation against that nation? Can you empathize at all?

Nobody's asking you to "give Hasan a pass" but we're asking you to see the Palestinian issue from the eyes of a neighbour who doesn't see any recourse from the international community against the heinous acts perpetrated by the Israeli regime and the IDF against civilians in Gaza and other regions nearby. If nobody punishes a bully am I a bully myself if I intervene to defend the bullied person? I personally don't think so, especially if the teachers and the principal constantly side with the bully against the bullied.

This will never sit well with me, I'll personally take matters into my own hands anytime I see a situation where someone powerful acts against someone poor, especially when the institutions tasked with defending those who aren't powerful sit in a corner fiddling their fingers and not acting in line with their declared objectives.

This being said I despise any kind of religious extremism (any religion at all in fact, but I don't expect everybody to become atheist all of a sudden. I completely expect everybody not to be an extremists tho) so I also despise the founding reasons of Hamas, the houtis, the islamic brotherhood or any other religious organisation. But still I understand and justify their reasons for being in a fight against Israel.

I don't understand and I don't justify the stances of international organisations which should be defending the Palestinian people and who are the cause why I have to support religious extremists in this specific context (looking at UN aggressively)

It's useless man, people are just looking at their finances and their fake freedoms (I can choose between McDonald's and Popeye what to eat!!! Muh freedom!!!) to understand that they've lost their actual freedoms with the patriot act and a series of sweeping changes to the rule of law due to the "war on terror" the USA have brought on since the start of the 2000s. Before that it was an all out attack against economic freedoms, starting with the cancellation of the differentiation between investment and saving banks until the loss in regulations against malpractices brought forward by corporations.

The best slave is the one who think he is free because he won't fight back under no circumstances. They cannot see any chains on their wrists but are unable to see the (always shorter) leash around their neck. And they would die defending their masters, thinking to be fighting the good fight.

We can just try to present our position as clearly as possible, we could be opening the eyes of someone reading our comments and that's all that matter.

Keep on keeping on dude

Then your comment was such a load of shit that it was removed from a moderator. Either way the original comment we were replying to is no longer with us so I cannot tell the point you were arguing about in it, I inferred its contents from the first reply by NoneOfUrBusiness and the citations he provided with it.

Furthermore your reply to NoneOfUrBusiness answer to your original post was just a "no, you're wrong and I'm right". Such a level of discussion, you must be a sage in your community. If your community is a kindergarden .

Lastly you can have opinions, too bad they are shit opinions not supported by facts

And yet you're the one who cancelled his comment. Pray tell, is it not true that the rise in American authoritarianism started in the late 60es, when the government started to act in spite of what public opinions thought about its action in foreign countries and wars? If not, can you please post any proof supporting this thesis of yours? Because it's sure as he'll that I, as many others, will never take your word for granted if you aren't able to support it with factual information.

Take your head out if your ass and realise that American (like most of us in the "developed" world) have been bought with pearls and trinkets to subdue their reasoning capabilities and voices to capitalism and its venomous fruits. The sooner you accept this ACTUAL FACT the sooner you can start fighting the good fight against capitalism and its cronies (who may also be your friends and family; not all capitalists drive around in nice cars or live in big villas. Most of them are "momentarily embarrassed billionaires" or delusional victims as I like to call them)

Any god is an egregore, like any other thought or believe is. Santa, the black man, Allah, these are all egregore with more or less power according to the mental strength and energy of the believers which are part of these groups. Of course, as anything created by humans, egregore are fallible and presents various "defects" in their behaviours and actions. The most important thing is to always remember that egregores, being a byproduct of human though, are and always will be much less powerful than any human being. Take Yahweh or Allah and place it in front of an infant, they won't be able to do shit as the child will be uneffected by the social knowledge about these entities and thus will be receptive to their true form, which is one of ethereal beings having no control on the physical world. Anything they can do they do because we give them the power to do so, once we realise they are no more powerful than a breeze through the leaves their power crumble and they return to be what they truly are, invisible and intangible leeches praying on our mental energy.

If you believe in spiritual teachings of course, otherwise please continue not believing in such things and cussing against god and/or the modern American Christian nationalist faith, the effect will be the same

The main difference between Christianity and atheism is that atheism is no organised movement. We don't have a pope (no matter what Christians say about us, I don't follow any of the so called "leaders" of the atheist movement like richard dawkins and his positions on the trans right movement for instance) and we don't have a centralised structure, we simply don't believe in ANY god.

On the other hand there is Christianity and all organised religions which, as the name suggests, are ORGANISED around a central set of dogmas which are intended to be accepted as gospel by all their members. If you're part of one of such religions you implicitly accept all their teachings as true and you support their message and actions. If you don't want to be lump in with all other cultists following these directions please remove yourself from this specific group or shut the hell up.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk, I'll be here as long as needed
