    If “western civilization” requires genocide to exist, then it shouldn’t exist.

    (Obviously he’s just wrong, but I’m arguing down at his level.)

    I’ll take my fucking chances. Whenever some right wing cunt makes some statement like this my first thought is they’re full of shit and the only they make stupid statements like this is because they stand to lose money

    Guess what fucko, western civilization survived the end of apartheid in South Africa, and will survive the end of apartheid in Israel/Palestine.

    Without even getting into the racist undertones of “the end of western civilisation”, he’s just talking absolute nonsense.

    Mhm given that Israel is doing a jihad right now… Perhaps he’s right or he mispoke.

      Okay Israel is not doing Jihad. Israel is doing what uninformed Westerners imagine when they hear the word “Jihad”. Let’s not get things mixed up.

        They are certainly on a religious crusade to get rid of the Palestinians who occupy their holy land.

          I mean they’re doing genocide, which runs contradictory to the purpose of Jihad since you can’t spread Islam (or any religion, really) to dead people. That’s why I’m saying to not get things mixed up.

    Well he’s the fucking lord of death for NATO recently so I guess he would know about death wishes.

    Can he just slide into the obscurity and irrelevance that he deserves? Same with Trump. I really wish for politics to be boring again and not about quirky individuals with bad blond haircuts.

      It, along with the whole “smiley buffoon” act is an affectation the embodiment of Oxbridge arrogance and callousness adopted to make him appear silly in an endearing way so that his actual words and actions would appear less villainous than they actually are.

      I’m going with unaddressed mental illness run amok, leading to apathy regarding presentation, hygiene, etc. Also why Trump looks and smells like literal shit.
