Comments by "Triple 9" (@Betta66) on "The Christchurch Call to Action is a Censorship Scam" video.

"While the United States is not currently in a position to join the endorsement, we continue to support the overall goals reflected in the call. We will continue to engage governments, industry and civil society to counter terrorist content on the internet," the White House said in a statement. The White House thanked New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern "for organizing this important effort," noting that the administration "(agrees) with the overarching message" in the nonbinding agreement.

@simonballs2838 If they're allowed to spout nonsense, I'm allowed to point out it's bullshit.

@MotiveToKill The debate over whether Judaism is primarily an ethnicity or a religion has indeed been held within the Jewish community for years, but you do realize people can also convert to Judaism, right? Even if they have no Jewish heritage.

"Free speech should be protected*" *Unless it's from climate scientists, then go ahead and tell them what they can't say to your heart's content

@MotiveToKill By defining antisemitism as discrimination on the basis of religion?

@MotiveToKill I would very much like to argue against the notion that antisemitic conspiracy theories have any merit that makes them worth defending. Your right to say them is constitutionally protected, but that doesn't make them any less bullshit.

@MotiveToKill If you think that I, at any point, have said anything even remotely suggesting that, it says more about you than me. A person's religion is incidental. If someone spreads bullshit conspiracy theories about Catholics, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, Shintoists or whoever, it's no less unacceptable than spreading bullshit Jewish conspiracy theories. I'm not advocating for special protections; I'm advocating for not letting bullshit conspiracy theories go unchallenged.

@MotiveToKill You don't need to explain any of that to me. My older brother is a baal teshuva (basically, a born-again Jew). I simply hoped I was helping to explain this to anyone subscribers who put parentheses around the names of certain public figures.

@nillynush4899 Oh good, you remembered to bring your tin foil hat today.

@gordon trimble You mean the 3% of scientists that don't say climate change is real and man-made? Yeah, I doubt this was targeted towards them.

@cajunboi4888 Actually, he is. https://religionnews.com/2017/11/29/europes-muslim-population-growing-but-wont-be-a-majority-anytime-soon/

@ryangshooter_1682 Missing one piece of information doesn't mean I do no research. If a border wall were built and one person still managed to cross over it, would you call the wall a failure? No, you wouldn't, so stop making baseless assumptions or else you're no better than me. But I digress. I haven't seen anything attributing the 97% claim to a cartoon. It's true that 97% is overstating the actual consensus, but even the lowest estimates I could find put the number of scientists who agree on man-made climate change is 84%. https://www.forbes.com/sites/uhenergy/2016/12/14/fact-checking-the-97-consensus-on-anthropogenic-climate-change/#2c2f38221157 Ah yes, "they laughed at Galileo." I didn't know you could use a complete lack of historical context as valid reasons to not buy any scientific consensus. Galileo wasn't denounced by the Church for being right about us not being the literal center of the universe. He was denounced because he spoke with Pope Urban VIII about the relevant science (which people did at the time) and said he was going to write a book presenting the theories as clearly and objectively as possible. Instead, he published Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, which was written as a discussion between three characters. He used arguments that Pope Urban VIII made to him in those private discussions and had them spoken by the character Simplicio, who might as well have been dressed in a papal hat wearing a sandwich board reading "Idiot." Needless to say, Pope Urban VIII wasn't a fan of the book. But sure, keep telling yourself I'm the one who sucks at research.

@Firebreath56 Bill Nye suggested that? So that guy at the Trump rally who said we should shoot illegal immigrants was only joking, but you take Bill Nye at face value?

@ryangshooter_1682 I can't tell how sarcastic I'm supposed to think you're being right now, but I digress. Why should I do what you say?

@Firebreath56 Alright, you win. Show me where Bill Nye said we should hang climate change deniers.

@ryangshooter_1682 When I have to look up what "boah" means, and I wonder why you couldn't have just called me "boy," what exactly do you expect me to think of you?

@ryangshooter_1682 Could you please attempt to be even more patronizing next time?

Yes, thank goodness the White House refused to sign on to something that they say they otherwise fully support.

@Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji So why is Styx happy that the White House didn't sign onto it if, according to you, what they did was functionally the same thing?
