I loath a lot of things about Trudeau. I think most of his liberal values are performative--I suspect he&#39;s not much an actual feminist, for example--but this performance was probably effective. 2024-09-28T17:03:28Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdrfkaaajy96thez0y7qgszqw6l85r93u24g92uc394y00k7p3v3szyr6mcfdxldwc53sl9s0cyh7ydwu8pvkpvvaetdcuapfnge8rq7zhg470u9d So I take it some fresh batch of racism just cropped up around here, again?<br/><br/>It&#39;s hard to defend this place when we tolerate the bigots.

Every time legitimate objections to Israel&#39;s violence come into public discourse, the antisemites come crawling out from under their rocks and try to use it to launder their racism.

It&#39;s historically accurate.
