Soup throwing again

Over Posie Parker (as was. Kelly forgot the rest of her name)
On her NZ tour.

I dont do links, but it's probably easy to find.

The person who threw it followed up with a quick speech, saying something like she wished it was blood, or next time it should be blood. I couldnt really hear clearly.

Why such vitriol and violence?

(If there is another thread about this, apologies.)

I would like to point out again..... The Only 2 Crimes Committed At The Rally were committed by trans activist, who are yet to be even questioned by the NZ police.

The law has to be fair to all parties.

Its unacceptable to say a man who rapes, whose penis we can see, who is getting kicks from showing said penis (a red flag for future crimes) is a woman. Its bigotry, its unbelievably cruel, its gas lighting, so I probably am not going going to be told about correct speech from people who do that. I am laughing in fact it's so absurd.

Galaxy Thu 30-Mar-23 21:31:32

Did she walk the wrong way. Oh well she was asking for it.
'Permit her to speak for them' . What on earth are you talking about. I speak for myself. Do some of the most prominent proponents of TWAW speak for you when they say women who dont shave their legs are dirty, or when they say terfs die in a fire, etc etc. And you know what if people were threatening them with violence I would say that's not acceptable.

How in any universe can linking Jewish orchestras in concentration camps to Nazis cross dressing be acceptable? Are you suggesting cross dressing Nazis were forced on peril of death to dress up. Of course you aren’t so don’t do it

I didn't. I said it would be the equivalent to Rosie51s post.

Here's a clear explanation
If as Rosie51 claims Nazis cross dressing is evidence that they didn't persecute and kill LGBTQ people.
Then a similar argument could be made
That the Nazis didn't persecute Jews because there are photographs of Jews dressed up and playing in an orchestra.
Both statements are unacceptable and wrong.
The first for some inexplicable reason seems to be more acceptable to some people

Wait, what?

People get upset if I call actual Nazis, Nazis. But we're allowed to get paranoid about what the schools are doing to our children and call it Nazi-ism?

I though we didn't bring "Nazi" into anything, it was frowned upon...?

Are you deliberately being obtuse Volver?

Referring to the Nazi party by their actual name, is quite different to invoking the word Nazi to label unknown people!

And I'm sorry if you are preaching hate and division and denying the existence of a group of people you shouldn't be surprised if that group of people and their supporters choose to make sure you aren't permitted to spread hate speech.
It was the actions of communists, labour party members and left wing individuals who joined with Jews to silence the fascists in the East End of London that showed how unacceptable the Nazi philosophy was. The Battle of Cable Street silenced fascists using similar methods.

So dreadful then, that our Allies who helped us to defeat Hitler's Nazis then invaded half of Europe bringing their own regime of terror which continued for many years.

Please do not lecture me about the fight against Nazism.

Well done Glorianny. You managed to bring Germany and Cable street in whilst not condemning the violence against females.

I don't care if it is a man or a woman promoting hate speech, if the people they are attacking choose to prevent them speaking who am I to deny them that right?
It wasn't a riotous protest. No one threw missiles or started a fight. It was simply very noisy.
Quite why Poppy chose the route she did for her exit I don't know. Her arrival was through a fenced off area.

Glorianny Thu 30-Mar-23 21:10:22

volver3 Thanks. You've been brilliant throughout the thread.
I've been busy most of the day and just come back to this thread.
I don't understand how anyone who cares about women can possibly permit this woman to speak for them. Her links to the far right are seriously worrying

Out of absolutely nowhere, hours later, I get told I'm a danger to children

I didn't say you were.

Stop it Callistemon. You're not the only poster here and out of nowhere, somebody I don't remember interacting with, said that children needed protecting from people like me.

You said in a post where you were referring to what I had posted in the first sentence and the third.
Perhaps your posts should be clearer.

Thanks glammagran, I see now your post had been deleted so I realise that must be the offending one to which volver was referring in her post which seemed to be addressed to me.

All is clearer now 🙂

Oh Glorianny I've been trying to think how to mention Cable Street without bringing down hellfire and brimstone on my head, and you've done it. Well done. Thank you.

Glorianny There are police at the New Zealand rally they eventually take her away in a police car after escorting her to it.
She obviously also has her own security

Whatever you think about KJK do you honestly believe this was justifiable? I'm horrified at this violent baying mob. They're like a load of pack animals baying for blood. They want her out but surround her in a crush trying to get to her. If you think this is acceptable behaviour then you disgust me as much as that mob. Those crowds stormed the barriers that were to separate them from the rotunda. I can't see any police that enforced the barriers, can you? No as Jumblygran confirmed in her post they were a distance away, and didn't make themselves available until they were almost to the police cars.
Given that there were efforts to refuse her entry visa on the grounds her presence could promote disruption and violence wouldn't you think there'd have been a strong police presence near to the rotunda maintaining distance between speakers and protestors?
Incidentally the Nazis loved cross dressers, there are photos of Nazi soldiers cross dressing. As for 'no true feminist' that's akin to 'no true Scotsman' or according to Humza 'no true transwoman'

Really Rosie51 your dismissal of the horrific treatment of people the Nazis described as "deviant" is worrying and completely unacceptable. For the first time this year the German parliament dedicated Holocaust Day to the thousands of LGBTQ people who died or were tortured under the Nazis. Many Jewish people supported this. I suggest you read this and then apologise to those who suffered www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230127-in-a-first-german-parliament-spotlights-nazis-lgbtq-victims

The Nazis "loved cross dressers". If someone was to post a similar statement about Jews, using for example the Jewish orchestras in the concentration camps there would be an uproar.

Mollygo Thu 30-Mar-23 20:03:17

No V3, I agree with you that you’re not supposed to care.

volver3 Thu 30-Mar-23 19:48:14

Am I supposed to care?

Not going to bother trying to explain why you agree that children aren't safe with me then?

Too hard, was it?

Are you trying to be funny? It's not working,

When did it become OK to deny the existence of Nazis in the 21st century?

I kinda see what she means to be fair volver.

You'll have to explain that. Try to do it without libel, there's a challenge for you.

volver3 Thu 30-Mar-23 19:33:26

I think volver3 was referring to me. I think she knows I was not directly saying that she is a danger to children but she will know why drag queens have been in the news lately and I don’t mean Dame Edna Everage. It was to to with twerking in front of toddlers. And that is despicable.

Yes I was.

Your actual words: How do we protect our children from people like you?

Why would you think children needed protecting from me if you don't think I'm a danger to them? You brought up twerking and drag queens out of nowhere, not me.

Line crossed this time.

The trivial bit is that people say transpeople are the baddies. They do, although you will deny that, I suppose.

I don't give a toss if a transperson is in the same changing room as me, any more than I would care if a gay person was. I get that some do care, but this rabble rousing isn't the way to fix it. It starts with a sensible worry (e.g. transpeople in sport) and ends up with the demonisation of drag queens.
