I don’t disagree

Which is true, but his opinions are still transphobic lol. I don’t hate the guy for this, but let’s not pretend he’s not transphobic.

I may be too charitable, but I imagine it has to do with how many people, such as colleagues we may have, can fall for this type of shit. We’re all able to be reactionary and give in to bs, some of us just have more knowledge and/or more empathy so we’re able to see through it much easier. So while DHH may not be redeemable, some dumbass on Twitter who defends DHH may still be redeemed, depending on the choices they make and how much harm they do or don’t do along the way.

By keeping them indoors all the time, have we raised a generation of kids who question nothing?

This is anecdotal, but in my own contact with younger folks it’s clear to me that many of them are depressed due to climate dread and worried about the rise of the far-right, and they’re smart enough to see their govs are deciding not to do anything to tackle their concerns. I don’t see them “questioning nothing”.

Humans are self-serving.

We have evidence of cooperation for the entirety of human history and prehistory, there’s no way we would have survived long enough to build agrarian societies where acumulation was possible without first developing cooperation among each other. We may have a drive for self-preservation, but even under capitalism we care about others, we’re just taught we can only care about some groups of people (ex: your own family). And even then you see stuff like this: https://gulfnews.com/world/mena/egyptian-teenager-sacrifices-his-life-after-rescuing-six-people-from-drowning-1.500636639

The kids will be fine. Our society is not.

You guys used to be better at trolling, I think.

Did you even look at the evidence people always provide when talking about DHH? Or are you saying advocating for ethnic cleansing isn’t nazi? Ime people love to pretend that leftists are just making shit up when most of the time we show the receipts, which are even in the link in the original post here.

supporting tommy robinson isn’t far-right enough?

whom the Internet considers a nazi

The guy is wildly bigoted and he advocates for ethnic cleansing lol what else do you need

I don’t hang out with people who hang out with nazis like DHH. Do you?

Private capital supported and bankrolled Hitler, Mussolini and plenty of other fascists, if you have the time and energy to read a book on it, Blackshirts and Reds explains this better and it’s fairly accessible!

what do you call people who give millions to nazis out of their own accord?

There are people who are known for refusing as well, obviously there are incentives against it, but when the alternative is genocide…

you give me hope for our country

She’s an imperialist, calling her “good” is a joke

Who is his dad? If you mean his uncle, Cenk, he’s been a reactionary for a while. He performs radicalism but he’s a dumbass at best, a grifter at worst. Hasan seems a lot better than Cenk.

?

they just locked people up in schools for months and reeducated them

Did you bother looking up the footage of dozens of terror attacks that prompted the policy? And guess what, after learning job skills they didn’t need to do terror anymore, it’s almost like fixing the material conditions of people is better than just punishing them, or (in this case) forcing people to assimilate.

Look at what Hoxha did to Islam would you say women had better or worse rights after his policies?

I haven’t looked enough into Hoxha to know. I’ll look it up after my finishing my reading list, if you have an earnest book recommendation.

I spent my childhood in the middle east in a country which had shariya law and little girls didn’t wear hijabs, anyways where are you from?

Sharia can include any kind of Muslim jurisprudence, not to mention how enforcement can vary wildly even within the borders of a single state, so this isn’t telling me anything. As for veiling, I’m well aware that younger than 14 is uncommon, with how you often start at puberty. My whole issue with this Austrian law isn’t on these minutia though. It’s about how many European countries have shown a pattern of discriminating against Muslims and it’s progressively getting worse and worse. It’s about how the authorities look at the other side when extremists set a refugee camp on fire. This policy is meant to normalize banning the hijab and other religious symbols, if we did it for girls and it was fine why not do it for X or Y. It’s meant to tell Muslims “go home”, whether you were born here or not, and whether you see it or not it doesn’t change that whether girls feel good didn’t cross the heads of these ghouls once, because they don’t represent the interests of any one of us, let alone those of children.

Defeat the nazis and I’ll gladly entertain your musings in a vacuum.

the Austrian state isn’t banning people wearing a hijab in private it’s banning them in public buildings namely schools

Which China didn’t do, and either way it wouldn’t make it any less problematic

If I trusted that they actually have children’s interest at heart I’d give them the benefit of the doubt, but as I see it this is just one tiny step into dehumanizing Muslims and normalizing forcefully removing the hijab from society, which they have already done in many contexts (ex: some medical institutions don’t let you become a doctor if you wear a hijab, you can’t be a judge while wearing it, etc).
