The performance was held at the Paradiso Grote Zaal. The venue released a statement on Sunday saying it “believed in the power of artistic freedom”.

“Music – and especially punk – is an art form that traditionally magnifies anger, discontent, and injustice without a filter,” it said.

“In a world on fire, artists sometimes choose language that sounds confrontational or violent.”

Addressing the singer’s calls for the death of IDF troops, the venue said it shared “the outrage and concern surrounding the genocidal violence taking place in Gaza” and that “Bob Vylan’s raising his voice against this is legitimate and necessary”.

Punk has always been anti-fascist because fascists and punks compete for the same follower base, and overlap is unavoidable unless one side draws a very hard line about what’s acceptable.

The fascists want to be able to say whatever they want under 1st amendment, but have always lost their shit when people say the same shit about fascists the fascists say about innumerable target demographics.

In 2022, the women won a court ruling against their own government. South Korea’s Supreme Court ordered the government to compensate dozens of women for the trauma they endured as “comfort women for the U.S. military,” as they were once known. The court found the government guilty of encouraging prostitution for American G.I.s to help bring in badly needed U.S. dollars for the economy and maintain ties with the United States, on which it relied for security. It also said the government forced many women to receive treatment for sexually transmitted diseases in a “systematic and violent” way.

The latest lawsuit, which was filed at a Seoul court on Friday, was the first attempt by the women to hold the U.S. military accountable. The women and their lawyers said that the U.S. military was “the real culprit” in what was a state-sponsored sex trade, even allowing comfort women inside its bases and near its field training grounds.

So, Korea forced them into sexual slavery…

And now some of the victims are suing the US government, because some women managed to get on base, and “near” a training area?

Like, it depends on the base, but for lots of them there’s not really any security. Even if the driver does have to show an ID, they rarely check everyone’s.

It’s absolutely horrible what happened to those women, but this lawsuit won’t work

Did they complain when trump voters assassinated actual sitting Dem politicians and theirfamily members a few months ago?

If not, they can go fuck right off. Because they’re obviously lying.

I’m sorry I can’t explain this in a way you’re capable of understanding, you will have to ask someone else for any further help with this or any other topic.

He said they have “freedom of speech”.

I pointed out they have “freedom of expression” and that the vast amount of shit Kirk said doesn’t meet the more rigid standards of the EU’s laws…

And you think I’m conflating things?!

I’m literally clarifying, the person conflating is the one using two legal terms from different countries interchangably.

This isn’t a philosophical debate, it’s literally what all of these words mean…

You could have at least accused me of being pedantic, at least that would have been using words correctly

No, EU has freedom of expression…

Which is why it’s “not like in the US” because it’s a different thing…

We can tell that, because the fucking words are different.

https://fra.europa.eu/en/eu-charter/article/11-freedom-expression-and-information

The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary."

Kirk advocated for violence constantly, most of what he said wouldn’t have been legal in Europe

as a symbolic measure “to declare that our right to freedom of speech cannot be extinguished,”

Let’s celebrate our freedom of speech (which isn’t even a thing in the EU) by forcing everyone to be quiet!

Funny how you also use the terrorist state of israel media

You think it’s “funny” that even Israeli media openly talks about the only reason Hamas exists is Benjamin Netenyahu?

And obviously the PA is bought off by Israel, that was the main point…

They fund two competing governments, then claim there is zero government.

If they stayed out of it, one solid unified government would emerge

Your heart might be in the right place, it’s hard to tell. But what’s clear is you don’t understand the situation.

If you don’t insult the next person so much, they might explain more. But if you just constantly spam replies at them, you’ll be lucky to get any responses before they block you.

Hamas is still the government

Hamas is not the government.

The government is the Palestinian Authority…

They’re the ones illegally being prevented from attending the UN meeting in NYC about if other countries will recognize Palestine as a sovereign nation.

Hamas are terrorists and only exist because Israel government not only smuggles them millions of dollars, they solicit those donations from countries like Qatar and Saudia Arbia…

Like, this is all widely known.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

The only reason Palestine has two governments is so Israel can play it out of both sides of their mouth, and the only reason Hamas exists is Israel’s government literally grew it.

Israel claims random civilians are Hamas leaders all the time…

There’s zero reason to believe anything that government claims.

Now, a study that recorded patterns of brain activity in 15 participants suggests that colours are represented and processed in the same way in the brains of different people. The findings were published in the Journal of Neuroscience on 8 September1.

"Now we know that when you see red or green or whatever colour, that it activates your brain very similarly to my brain,” says study co-author Andreas Bartels, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Tubingen and the Max Planck Institute, both in Tubingen, Germany. “Even at a very low level, things are represented similarly across different brains, and that is a fundamentally new discovery.”

Yeah, but not everyone gets the same signal sent to their brain…

It’s not just “normal” or colorblind, everyone has a different ratio of different rods/cones. Which is what signals your brain.

And that’s not even getting into how some languages don’t differentiate between like green/blue, so adults from there are dog shit are telling the two apart, even when they’ve learned a new language and understand to most people there is a difference.

Which is interesting because the average human eye can differentiate about a million colors, and we have far less names for colors than that. So if we invented new names, we’d start “seeing” more colors because our brains aren’t just being lazy about it.

Tldr:

We need to make blurple a real thing.

So explain to me why the women must wear hijabs/burkhas/coverings over their hair and not the men.

The ones who force it, are extremists…

And in the minority.

For example, this article is about Morroco, where head coverings are not legally mandated one way or the other.

It’s a protected choice either way.

Shhhhhhut the hell up dude.

What could the possible point of replying be to just throw that at the end?

Without a doubt.

It just seemed clear grammatically that this was two separate people.

If it was some oligarch shenanigans instead of “the” it would have been “as a”

What did you think the headline meant?

I said they held some fundamental beliefs

And the most polite way to describe that would be you’re making assumptions…

Considering the context though, most would describe it as religious bigotry

Maybe, it’s not what I see every day

How many Muslim extremists do you “see everyday”?

Bonus question:

Do you realize you likely see way more Muslims, they just aren’t wearing religious clothing?

But…

Do you understand that the ones who are following a book from over a thousand years ago literally, are a tiny tiny percentage of the total number of people who identify as that religion…

Right?

If you’re religion is, unfortunately, tied to oppression of rights

Islam isn’t…

You’re confusing the most extreme 1% with the billions who make up the other 99%.

Far right religious extremism is the problem…

Not which prophet the extremists follow.

That’s the thing about cognitive decline…

The people experiencing it only realize it’s happening during brief reprieves from the symptoms

So if someone is experiencing cognitive decline, they’re literally incapable of recognizing it. They all think they completely fine…
