I disagree on what is plain here. Having said that, how does one go about getting unbanned ?

This is both harsh and untrue. While I've allowed myself to be baited here, I've clearly discussed other topics. This is (was?) a somewhat new account as well. How big of a buffer should I have before I'm allowed to discuss c

This is false and ahistorical. Repeating the same sentiment, as is your wont, cannot change that it is factually incorrect.

In the videos you've seen, were the protesters roasting government officials over a spit, or the officials' detached scrotums? Cause you know, I've done the former, but the latter is really depraved. Alas I'm not nearly

It does not stay. However if I had a positive experience then something certainly remains. Difficult to describe. I guess the more you do something, the better you become at it. So in a way it’s like practicing socializing. A little of the

Well, I'm a lifelong Metal fan. I like, for example, Goa Trance well enough, but I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy just listening to EDM for pleasure the way I can with say, Technical Death Metal.

I lucked out by meeting my partner, and she knew people who were really into the rave scene so I got into raves by going where they told me to go. However there may be other ways. There might be Facebook groups that advertise raves in your

The whole point of a rave is to take Molly and have fun connecting with others who have also taken Molly. At least for this introvert. I was never a fan of Electronic Music, I tolerate it for the drugs and the temporary extroversion.

Because, your comments are contrafactual and not grounded in reality. When you make frankly hysterical statements the gist of which is that Israel is uniquely evil (more than Iran which massacred over 30,000 pro-democracy protesters in the

I think The Atlantic is actually pretty close to the mark. Committed, hardcore ideologues frequently turn out to be authoritarian, even if they refer to themselves as "anarchists". Most of these ideologues are busy administering e

You’re right, tptacek, I probably should’ve stayed out of this.

Have you considered, and hear me out here, that the bias is yours? I mean if their reporting about everything but this one topic is good, perhaps their “Zionist pro-war bias” and “genocide whitewashing” only seem that way to you because you

This is demonstrably false. Ariel Sharon lobbied against the invasion. Netanyahu’s role is extremely relevant. There’s a big difference between a civilian’s personal opinion and official state policy. Your original claim is false. End of st

Like I said to the other person here, Netanyahu was acting in a private capacity as a civilian, not a representative or office holder of the government of Israel. It amazes me how you conspiracy nutters can't tell the difference. You d

Ariel Sharon was the prime minister of Israel in 2002. Netanyahu was a civilian. You seem to be unable to tell these two very different people apart. I suggest going easy on the green stuff.

Completely crazy. Not only had the war in Iraq hurt Israeli security, rather than improving it, Israel opposed the war knowing that it would be damaging rather than beneficial. What you have is not "the Israel Theory", what you ha

Apologies, I deleted my comment because I felt it wasn’t contributing to the discussion, and since I’m not an American I don’t wish to pontificate about either Trump or ICE. I will say however, as someone born in a country ruled by a totali

I feel strongly about this issue. I don't feel it's divisive, it might be dismissive but my point in the comment is factual. Edit: Take a look at The Intercept as an example. Protests began three weeks ago. The only posts TI has o

And the response to this brutal crackdown from our brave and virtuous progressive activists has been a collective shrug of indifference, with some exceptions where those pillars of moral rectitude have taken a bold stance... in support of t
