Just because a gesture starts out as a joke does that then disqualify it as you have..............."so there you have it" ? "The ADL says the OK symbol has become a "popular trolling tactic" from "right-leaning individuals, who often post photos to social media of themselves posing while making the gesture". It started out as an online joke on 4Chan - taking an innocent gesture and pretending there was a hidden meaning behind it, hoping to trick the media and left-leaning people into outrage. But the joke was so successful and widespread among the far-right, that many believe the OK sign is changing meaning. The man accused of killing 51 people at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, earlier this year flashed the OK hand sign when he was in court." https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-49837898

What do you mean and what.....lol It proves your claim: "In Ukraine they are conscripting by FORCE no men between the ages of 16 and 60 are allowed to leave. They take them off the streets" Is false that's what. Exceptions: when a man can leave Ukraine under martial law - who raise three or more children under the age of 18; - who raise a child (children) under the age of 18 on their own; - dependent on a child with a disability under the age of 18 or an adult child who is a person with a disability of the I or II group, until he/she reaches 23 years of age; - adoptive parents, guardians, trustees, foster parents, who are dependent on orphans or children deprived of parental care under the age of 18; - engaged in constant care for persons in need, in the absence of other persons who can provide such care; - who left for other states for permanent residence, which is documented accordingly; - applicants for professional higher and higher education, trainee assistants, graduate students and doctoral students studying abroad in full-time or dual forms of education (students, listeners). https://visitukraine.today/blog/102/exceptions-when-a-man-can-leave-ukraine-under-martial-law

Like I said Direct from a Ukrainian gov and charity website: In addition, the restrictions do not apply to people: who has three or more children under the age of 18, or who are raising a child (children) under the age of 18 on their own, or who has a child with a disability. https://dopomoha.org.ua/en/exceptions-to-the-restriction-which-prohibits-men-to-leave-the-territory-of-ukraine

Good news, always thought it was a bit young, never knew any of my friends in the UK get married at the age of 16.

Sounds like you'd also like a Russian passport.............

Well this didn't age well........................... "Seagal was named in 2018 as a Russian Foreign Ministry humanitarian envoy to the United States and Japan."

You can indulge in newspeak if you wish to do so if makes you feel virtuous, but this is a hard pass from me. You posted an emotional fueled rant without knowing the facts behind it, I provided them for you, apologies for the virtuous newspeak that you are now claiming I'm posting

I would hazard a guess they use the normal ok sign, did you miss the important context mentioned

Calm down, I didn't know about this either but a quick search brings up the info, what makes you think its a case of "self flagellating left wokies" From 2019 Its all to do with context. On Thursday, the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights organization, added 36 symbols to its "Hate on Display" database including the index finger-to-thumb sign that in some corners of the Internet has become associated with white supremacy and the far right, Oren Segal, director of the ADL's Center on Extremism, told NPR that for years on fringe online message boards such as 4chan and 8chan, the "OK" sign has been deployed in memes and other images promoting hate. "Context is always key," Segal said. "More people than not will use the OK symbol as just 'OK.' But in those cases where there's more underlining meaning, I think it's important for people to understand that it could be used, and is being used, for hate as well." https://www.npr.org/2019/09/26/764728163/the-ok-hand-gesture-is-now-listed-as-a-symbol-of-hate

This isn't about Ukranine conscription and no, you're wrong again, they do allow conscription age men to leave if they have children to look after. Male Ukrainian nationals can cross the border if they are financially supporting three or more children under the age of 18, are single fathers of children under 18, or have children or are guardians of children with disabilities "All" opposition parties are not banned either, those that have been banned are pro-Russian political parties that engage in anti-Ukrainian activities Time for you to start substantiating your posts because you're spreading false info.

Hardly surprising when yesterday new court docs reveal how Murdoch has threatened to fire anyone who told lies on the Dominion case, so does that mean a mass layoff of hosts.....lol "News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch testified in a deposition that any Fox News executive who knowingly allows lies to be broadcast should be “reprimanded” or fired, a blockbuster new court filing states." “They should be reprimanded – They should be reprimanded, maybe got rid of,” Murdoch said during a two-day deposition earlier this year. https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/dominion-bombshells-reveal-how-rupert-murdoch-paul-ryan-and-foxs-top-lawyer-secretly-reacted-to-trumps-wild-election-claims/

Carried out by researchers, despite claiming to have no conflicts of interest, are affiliated with BIRD (British Ivermectin Recommendation Development) Group. Another dodgy meta analysis study, I note you missed out in your quotes what it goes on to say: "We included preprint and unpublished data from completed but not yet published trials There are a number of limitations with this review. Several of the studies contributing data did not provide full descriptions of methods, so assessing risk of bias was challenging." And from an independent fact check Study’s underpinnings Experts said the trials that the study relies on are not high quality. Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security, said the study is a meta-analysis (an analysis of other analyses) "whose strength is dependent on the underlying studies that comprise it." Some of the studies analyzed in the ivermectin meta-analysis were not peer reviewed, said Dr. David Gorski, a professor of surgery and oncology at Wayne State University and chief of breast surgery at the Karmanos Cancer Institute, who has criticized the June study. "Pooling data from a large number of small, low-quality clinical trials does not magically create one large, high-quality clinical trial," wrote Gorski, who is also managing editor of Science-Based Medicine, a website that evaluates medical claims.

Why would I answer it when I've already covered it in detail in a previous post? Too much for you to scroll back?

I would avoid baiting when those questions have already been covered in the last 5 pages if you care to read them

Can you quote me where I am speaking on behalf of anybody other than the poll results or make excuses for the poll results?

and??? Are you implying Rasmussen Poll was not aware of its offensiveness to some black people?

Going to start watching that tonight.

But its not about you, Rasmussen Poll interviewed black people and it does offend them. Rasmussen would be well aware of that, hence the outcome of the poll

Its been in the media that its perceived as racist for years Here's how 'It's OK to be white' made its way from internet trolls to a vote in our Senate https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-17/origins-of-its-ok-to-be-white-slogan-supremacists-united-states/10385716 It’s okay to be White: laundering White supremacy through a colorblind victimized White race-consciousness raising campaign https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344010144_It's_okay_to_be_White_laundering_White_supremacy_through_a_colorblind_victimized_White_race-consciousness_raising_campaign Perth city centre 'It's okay to be white' stickers condemned - BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-50821872 'This Is Completely Wrong': Racist 'It's Okay to Be White https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/outrage-after-its-okay-to-be-white-sticker-planted-elementary-school/ "It's okay to be white" (IOTBW) is a slogan which originated as part of an organized alt-right trolling campaign on the website 4chan's discussion board /pol/ in 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_okay_to_be_white

They are buying property, you know that, many are staying long term, those with children who put them in school here get new non immigrant O visa as guardian. Those without get ED visa's or Elite Visa's. International schools are booming with Russian students

What visa would they get in Thailand if they are young enough to be conscripted? An upper age limit of 40 was scrapped, leaving no formal maximum age of enlistment in the mobilization for Ukraine

Well until you can verify your false information. It remains just that. False as UN confirms

More lies there were never 14,000 Russian civilians killed, infact civilian casualties before their illegal invasion last year were minimal as you can see in the chart below. There were 3,404 killed though which included Ukrainian civilians and that figure includes those from flight MH17 that was shot down by Russian backed separatist forces. This from UN official figures: pdf

You should check on who did not follow Minsk A major blockage has been Russia’s insistence that it is not a party to the conflict and therefore is not bound by its terms. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/9/what-is-the-minsk-agreement-and-why-is-it-relevant-now https://www.chathamhouse.org/2020/05/minsk-conundrum-western-policy-and-russias-war-eastern-ukraine-0/summary Of course Ukraine also had its failures in its implementation

Good opinion here from Louise Mensch (ex UK MP) that echos your views: in my view @Rasmussen_Poll are now just hard-right trolls, and it’s glorious that they have nuked one of their own Trumpy Bear kind. “It’s OK to be white” is a racist phrase. Disagreeing with it, as I do, ≠ you dislike white people. It just means you recognize it as racism. the reason that “white lives matter” and “it’s OK to be white” are racist is that both phrases falsely imply that society structurally threatens white people. It doesn’t. White people have never suffered racial violence from excessive policing, and we still don’t. it’s easier just to explain this screamingly obvious truth than to listen to the reply guys telling my milk-white Anglo-Saxon self that AKSHULLY, all God’s children are equal. So we are, but whites get treated better than blacks in infinite ways. And men better than women. So when Rasmussen Troll asks black people if they disagree with the phrase “it’s OK to be white” the results don’t measure whether or not those people ‘dislike whites’ or not. I disagree with the phrase too. It implies imaginary antiwhite racism that doesn’t exist.
