How does this play on X1 compared to PC?

The left calls everyone fascist now days.

Two months ago, Petry was instrumental in removing a racist even more extreme than herself from the AfD. Björn Uwe Höcke, the speaker of the AfD’s parliamentary group, said in a speech that Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial was a “memorial of shame” and that Germans should “make a 180 degree change in their politics of commemoration.”

While Weidel has avoided making many of the more extreme statements that members of her party have made, her co-leader has openly defended them. Gauland previously defended Höcke’s comments by saying that Germany has a “cult of guilt” around the Holocaust. “We want our homeland, our identity and we are proud to be Germans,” Gauland said in his acceptance speech.

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2017/04/lesbian-named-leader-germanys-fascist-party/
In elections held over the weekend, Alexander Gauland and Alice Weidel were named co-leaders of the German Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party.

The AfD was founded in 2013 and is known for its euro-skepticism, extreme xenophobia, and opposition to women’s and LGBTQ rights.

Alice Weidel, 38, lives with her partner and their two kids and is openly gay. A former Goldman Sachs banker, she seems an unlikely leader for a party founded on a rejection of globalism and tolerance.

But her politics appear in-line with the AfD’s.

In her acceptance speech, Weidel called for the AfD to “stick together and fight together,” and specifically named “political correctness” a problem. “We don’t want any imported civil wars on German streets. Political correctness belongs on the garbage heap of history.”

When interviewers inevitably ask her how she could be part of a party that opposes same-sex marriage, compares LGBTQ people adopting to making a child a “plaything for the sexual inclinations of a loud minority,” opposes sex education in schools, and advocates for “traditional gender roles” for women, she just responds that she keeps her personal life and her public life separate.

The elections for a new leader were held because the former leader, Frauke Petry, stepped down. Petry previously called for border patrol agents to shoot refugees and other migrants attempting to cross into Germany and compared ethnic minorities to garbage. “What should we make of the campaign ‘Germany is Colorful’? A compost heap is colorful, too.”

Two months ago, Petry was instrumental in removing a racist even more extreme than herself from the AfD. Björn Uwe Höcke, the speaker of the AfD’s parliamentary group, said in a speech that Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial was a “memorial of shame” and that Germans should “make a 180 degree change in their politics of commemoration.”

While Weidel has avoided making many of the more extreme statements that members of her party have made, her co-leader has openly defended them.

Hello friends,

Tired of not having a pretentious term to refer to when people ask about your political views? Using my patented Four Question Method (tm), I am able to pinpoint your ideology within a few ticks of accuracy. All you have to do is answer the questions, and I input your responses into my algorithm until it spits out a label.

1. What should be the role of the state in modern society?
2. Who does the wealth rightfully belong to?
3. Drugs?
4. What is your favorite color?

Good luck!

Hatred or opposition of Jews. Israel as a state is, yes, deeply associated with the Jewish people. But opposition to the state and its actions is separate from feelings towards the Jewish people, most of whom do not live in Israel.

By your token, is not pro-Israel sentiment (being pro Palestine not being allowed to exist) Islamaphobic?

Last year, a court ruled that North Carolina sought the methods in which black people disproportionately vote and made them no longer available

In particular, the court found that North Carolina lawmakers requested data on racial differences in voting behaviors in the state. "This data showed that African Americans disproportionately lacked the most common kind of photo ID, those issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)," the judges wrote.

So the legislators made it so that the only acceptable forms of voter identification were the ones disproportionately used by white people. "With race data in hand, the legislature amended the bill to exclude many of the alternative photo IDs used by African Americans," the judges wrote. "The bill retained only the kinds of IDs that white North Carolinians were more likely to possess."

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/fordham-u-blocked-formation-pro-palestinian-group-suit-article-1.3103001?cid=bitly

Fordham University unfairly blocked four students from forming a pro-Palestinian group because deans worried the group would "stir up controversy" and use the term "apartheid" to describe Israel, a new lawsuit charges.

Students Ahmad Awad, Sofia Dadap, Sapphira Lurie and Julie Norris allege they followed the private Jesuit university's guidelines for forming their group, Students for Justice in Palestine, but were stalled at every turn by Dean of Students Keith Eldredge and Dorothy Wenzel, Director of the Office of Student Leadership and Community Development, among other higher-ups.

The process, which should have taken a matter of weeks beginning in November 2015, instead took months and months, they say in papers filed Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court.

"As a Palestinian on campus, I was denied the opportunity to advocate for freedom for my people," said Awad, who is a senior. "Instead of encouraging our human rights advocacy, the university sided with those trying to silence our voices."

During a meeting on Dec. 12, Eldredge asked the students whether they would advocate for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement meant to economically isolate Israel — and whether the effort would spell the dissolution of the Jewish state, according to the suit.

Eldredge also asked whether the students would use the term "apartheid" to describe Israel, and whether they would work with national advocacy groups like Jewish Voice for Peace, J Street and Seeds of Peace, according to papers.

The students said they supported the movement known as BDS and were open to collaborating with other advocacy groups.

The higher-ups also consulted with Jewish student groups on campus about their stance about the pro-Palestine group, according to the suit.

On Dec. 22 Fordham’s deans informed the students they would prohibit Students for Justice in Palestine, the suit says.

The deans’ decision came after the students had been approved by student government to form the group.

"I felt disgusted," Awad says in an affidavit. "For nearly four years I had heard Fordham administrators speak about Jesuit values, about creating moral people, being kind and taking care of those less fortunate. When I received this decision, I understood this message did not apply to Palestinians. I felt defeated."

A letter from Eldredge explained the university's decision.

"While students are encouraged to promote diverse political points of view, and we encourage conversation and debate on all topics, I cannot support an organization whose sole purpose is advocating political goals of a specific group, and against a specific country, when these goals clearly conflict with and run contrary to the mission and values of the University," Eldredge wrote, according to papers.

"There is perhaps no more complex topic than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and it is a topic that often leads to polarization rather than dialogue. The purpose of the organization as stated in the proposed club constitution points toward that polarization. Specifically, the call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of Israel presents a barrier to open dialogue and mutual learning and understanding."

The suit says there's no factual basis for the support of the BDS movement representing a "barrier" to on-campus dialogue.

The university’s opposition to BDS is shared by Gov. Cuomo himself. He issued an executive order in June divesting the state’s funds from institutions that support the movement.
