one of the main orchestrators of the October 7 massacre

Great news.

He is already receiving his well deserved reward of 72 well-hung Africans having fun with his arse.

wish they hadn't done that

They shouldn't worry. Everyone will get his reward. :)

Direction anus.

moving to the center called A-hole. lol!

The same joke twice in a row? You can do better than that.

Anyways, gotta catch some z's. There's a couple of books that I like to read before sleep...

Quietly Unyielding: A Moderate's Memoir
Militantly Mild
The Moderate's Guide to Appearing Passionate
Brunch Will Not Be Cancelled

... which one should I choose tonight? Hm... I think, I'll go with something more philosophical - Critique of Pure Extremes. :D

I'm watching Tucker-Cruz interview.

Ah, peak intellectual discourse! Did they mention that centrism is a deep state plot?

Good night, middle-aged extremists. *yaaaaaaaawn*

your labels do not describe anything and are generally misleading

why do they force those who don't want to to wear it?

Ah, this old transition from "I will do it, because MY religion tells ME to do it" to "YOU will do it, because MY religion tells YOU to do it".

I wish it happened in Iran only!

anus

That's exactly the direction that extremists have always been leading their nations.

Luckily, I used up all the extremism I had in my youth and don't have any left for either middle age crisis or old age mental retardation. In general that's how it should be: be an idiot when you're young, wise up with age. There is something uncanny about people who had normal, quiet youth and then become radicals in their later years.

Off-Topic / Is Islam a threat to western society? [157]

So how do you know this forbidden information that you made up?

He doesn't.

It's complete and utter nonsense, like claiming that the family is forbidden to talk about the victim's death. Poland is not North Korea, nobody has the right or power order such silence from the family. If the woman really died, nothing would stop the family from talking about it, it would be all over the social media first and then the traditional ones shortly after. At the moment we know that Klaudia K. is still in critical condition, the rapist was caught very quickly and faces life in prison...

52% of Poles are against the Israeli attack on Iran, and 17% support it

... 14% don't care, and 16.5% haven't heard of it:

Typical.

every fanatic harbors a secret doubt (...) The real granite (...) anchored as hard as concrete in those moderate ones that we own

You're like a fountain of wisdom today. Well, you usually are but this is just amazing. It's a perfect beginning for a larger work, or even a library of works. I'm thinking... Moderate Manifesto, The Centrist Revolution: Please, Let's Not Get Carried Away, The Middle Path: Marching Boldly Toward the Center, Radically Reasonable or The Tweed Blazer Uprising.

I want these books and I want this revolution! :)

Thanks, kiddo, all your feelings are entirely reciprocated.

As for "unusualness", I don't think anyone can beat Crow in this aspect. When all the wars are over and the world enters again into another era of Kumbaya singing and "end of history", I am definitely getting him drunk during the inevitable PF Meetup. :)

Addressed to everyone else.

Oh, but we understand it quite well. Ordinary folks all over the world are by and large all right; it is people in power who sometimes become corrupt and evil (and we don't have to look as far as Iran to realise it).

Say what you want about Putin, but his people do not toss out the lifeless bodies of teenagers along the highways

Perhaps not, but people who present a threat to his regime don't end up well either. If he's not quite as cruel as the shah, it's because he's Slavic--senseless cruelty is alien to our nature.

Right from the beginning of the strikes...

... it's as Sikorski said: "we are begging them not to go but they go anyway".

husbands and wives who were partners of polish citizens were not allowed on the plane

Evacuation is for Polish citizens and number of places is limited, so Poles first. Logical.

Only applies to those who went there AFTER the Foreign Ministry issued the warning not to do it.

Proper f*cking order.

The same rule should apply to retards who go hiking in the mountains in winter after several warnings against it issued by GOPR. They should pay for every second of the rescue missions.

What do you think of the suggested plan to federalise or split Iran?

Well, Persians never acknowledged the partitions and, especially in intellectual or literary circles, expressed sympathy for Poland, seeing Poles as fellow victims of Russian imperialism. Later, during WW2, they accepted and took good care of tens of thousands of our refugees, so it would be inappropriate for me to support splitting Iran. Countries can't have the memory span of a goldfish, can they? We should just get rid of the evil regime (like in another country a bit further up north) and make peace with all the lovely Iranian (Russian) people.

Two regime changes for me, please, and balance will be restored in the Universe.

The woman attacked by this ciapaty is dead (and has been for a few days)

Fake news.

And 'ciapaty' refers to Indians, Pakis and Bangladeshis (more rarely to Arabs) not to South Americans.

Religious extremists never do.

How many people would you say follow the teachings of an extremist? 1% of a given religion members? 5%? 20? Would you say Rydzyk is an extremist?

The worst or the best, depends how you look at it. :)

Extreme voices are best ignored.

Well, perhaps I should have said "genuine" or "zealous", not "extreme".

Who do you think influences more Catholics in Poland, has more money and power: Rydzyk or Boniecki? In the same way I bet the likes of Mizrachi have a rather large following in Israel and diaspora. Same goes for Muslim imams--those who advocate love for the entire world and tolerance are rather in minority, aren't they? That's why people should use tools like YouTube to stay informed and vigilant.

What a combination.

... an absolutely brilliant combination. Living in Poland I would never have the opportunity to listen to the most extreme Orthodox rabbis or Muslim imams, and I might fall for all the ecumenical love, hand-holding, kumbaya-singing nonsense. Thanks to YouTube I am well informed and warned. :)

People don't really seem to learn from history. There are always those who claim that "the real communism" is oh-so-great, and that there "never was a real communism anywhere in the world" and that "next time it will definitely work" etc. etc. Half-wits, yes, but dangerous half-wits.

it's hard to say where he's really from and what his real name is

Not really.

He's a Venezuelan and his mother works in a restaurant in Toruń, close to the bar where the victim worked. She's been living in Poland for quite a while and her son came to visit her in February and stayed at her place without working anywhere, just playing console games most of the time and leeching off his mom. Doesn't sound like a horrible Islamist terrorist to me.
