*** Official Politics Shitposting Thread ***

Jesus, next time read past the headline before you post something.

The international terror group – despite not producing evidence to prove their involvement – tweeted via its propaganda wing that the violence was carried out by “fighters of the Islamic State,” reports said.

Like I said, this happens a lot.

But Sri Lanka's government has not produced evidence directly linking the attacks to the massacre in New Zealand, or to National Thowfeek Jamaath

Hmmm....


Anyways, I don't really imagine it was anyone but Muslims. What I object to is the idea that not using the word "Christian" or "Catholic" in reference to churces, easter, christmas, or whatever, is a deliberate attempt to promote Islam.

Who said it's to promote Islam?

The identity politics ideology on the political left and the media has crafted a narrative that very clearly defines who is oppressed, and who is the oppressor. Muslims are just one of the oppressed. Christians are just one of the oppressors.

An incident where the oppressed oppresses the oppressor doesn't really fit the narrative. So there is an effort by those on the left, and in the media to steer the narrative back on course.

Everyone connected to the DNC is simultaneously using the phrase "easter worshipers" today when that phrase didn't even exist yesterday.

There's no way that's an accident. Noticing that is not paranoid

Ya i get the argument, I was just using shorthand rather than typing all that out.

And it's not 'everyone in the DNC' either, is it?

Someone noticed a coincidence in phrasing between two prominent people who happened to be in the D party, put 2 and 2 together, and got 5.

You may well have a point about identity politics and victimisation narratives. This just isn't good evidence for it, as I've pointed out using examples.
