Might as well say “genocideophobia” is out of control. This is an unbelievably ridiculous headline that belongs nowhere …except The Onion. - ThreadSky

Brendan O'Neill is still an idiot, what a shock!

i'll never forget this whopper from him, or how spiked magazine blocked me after i made fun of it. it reads like a @horsedisc.bsky.social post!

Incredible stuff. We all know the real issue with bin Laden was his wokeness.

“Bin Laden believed in cancel culture” is really something someone chose to write.

Of course that's Brendan O'Neill.

It’s interesting that the writer/editor aren’t just using the word “antisemitism” to smear Israel’s critics as is usually the norm with Israel’s supporters. Why invent a clunky new term?

nicemangos.bsky.social•11 days ago

I think because they want to specifically say that criticism of Israel is unfair, when people are constantly separating that from antisemitism.

abublofer.bsky.social•11 days ago

Is it because the right wants to destigmatize actual antisemitic ideology? Or is the new term being used because the right recognizes that the term “antisemitism” isn’t taken seriously when it’s brought up in conversations about Israel’s war crimes?

Back in 1939 my grandfather caught an awful case of Germanophobia, the only cure was ordering an assortment of tank columns to shell Axis artillery positions to smithereens

Brendan O'Neill lmao

The first time I encountered that guy was like 10 years ago when he was debating a men’s rights activist and O’Neill said that he thought MRAs were ridiculous. Which was odd, given his RW politics and the fact that he was wearing a fedora at the time.

nicemangos.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'm surprised to hear he was debating an MRA

thomasswords.bsky.social•10 days ago

You can imagine how reactionary the MRA was if Brendan O’Neill was the left wing of that debate.

That's like when Douglas Murray criticizes white supremacists 😆...very disorienting to see someone even worse on the topic!

Pretty par the course for Britain's Breitbart.

Btw, this is the oldest surviving magazine in the world and it was always bad. Negative reviews of Charles Dickens books were published in it as well as pro-James Buchanan editorials.
