Hate speech in the audio community

As a Jew who has relatives who survived the Holocaust, a wife who is Israeli a father and an uncle who fought the Nazis, and while I am not a religious Jew, I have strong ties to my heritage and what started this thread was a hateful post by a high-end vendor.

Did you notice Adyc laughed at your post about this and others? How sad....and scary that he finds this funny. Clearly one of the "loving & peaceful" Anti-Israel people

Respectfully there is nothing complicated about this issue. It's about as complicated as securing our boarder like we were told for years under the previous administration. Oh wait.....that' was shown to be wrong. It took a single week to fix.

And the complexity of dealing with Iran....oh, yup, that was easy as well.

And the 30 million who invaded us. Yup, dealing with that "complex issue" quite easily.

It's only complex for those who choose not to be honest about the real cause and issues.

Whether people like it of not, the Anti-Israel cause is one of violence and attacking Jewish people. I gave 6 of thousands of real life examples earlier while certain people chose to ignore them because they weren't in the NYT. That is being intellectually phony.

The Anti-Israel movement has been shown and proven to be funded and led by Hamas. Any cause led by Hamas is evil to the core. There is no way to deny that if one is being honest.

You are detracting from Elliot's original point by bringing in a host of politics and one sided rants. You come off as a MAGA zealot. Weren't you supposed to be turning some new leaf, peace and love or something? That looks to be short lived, Porsche saw that one. You are the one who absolutely turned this thread political.

I don't know why you brought Iran into this conversation since you did a fact check. Iran handed the Administration their ass. The U.S. bombed stuff but they failed to achieve their stated goals and Iran still has control of the situation. You should have left Iran out of your mouth, it, is, complex and it showed the country has an complete idiot for president.

Mr. Pea, you are way off base. WAY OFF.

First leave the "MAGA zealot" out of this, please. Also please leave your distorted perspective of the Iran thing and how Iran fulfilled some concocted dream of yours, which is FAR from what has occurred or what is about to occur.

Back on point, I am assuming you saw the post from this vendor, or did you not? Iran and Trump were a huge part of this guy's post on FB. A clear case Trevor's TDS leading to his incredibly insensitive antisemitic FB conclusion and why it is all linked.

Maybe the post should be posted, so you (and the others) see they what is at issue here..

I can be nice and call out evil at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive. Otherwise you are part of the evil.

You can name call me all you want. Your word choices say all we need to know.

Some of you might want to read this book. Lots of parallels.

In the Garden of Beasts: love, terror, and an American family in Hitler’s Berlin​

Front Cover
Erik Larson
Scribe Publications Pty Limited, May 30, 2011 - History - 464 pages
Berlin, 1933. William E. Dodd, a mild-mannered academic from Chicago, becomes America’s first ambassador to Hitler’s Germany, where he is about to witness a turning point in history.
Dodd and his family observe firsthand the many changes — some subtle, some disturbing, and some horrifically violent — that signal Hitler’s consolidation of power. The ambassador has little choice but to associate with key figures in the Nazi party, and his increasingly concerned cables make little impact on an indifferent US State Department. Meanwhile, his daughter, Martha, is drawn to the young men of the Third Reich and their vision of a ‘New Germany’, and has a succession of affairs with senior party players, including the first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels.​

Tons of parallels and it was a great book. History repeats itself and people never learn.

When I saw that post, I thought nobody could be this ignorant and his account must have been hacked. There is no place in this world for that level of hate.

I’m frankly shocked, disgusted and angered at such an ignorant hateful post.

The sad thing Mike, its kinda how the world is now, hate filled, rude and disrespectful of others. .
 
I can across this little video.

I think she points out the issue better than most of us can explain, in the current context of Trevor's post and why some of us react to some of the posts that are trying to whitewash the issue.

 
There may very well be people reading and posting in this thread who hate Israel / Jews, but also understand they need to "keep a lid on it"... they understand that being "Openly Antisemitic" can also be considered "uncouth" (and they value how others view them above all else), so they tip-toe around ways of pushing back here with cute little non sequiturs and word salads. They see how that vendor is being called out... but they just can't help saying something here.

It's because they've been triggered... and their own hatred just MUST come bubbling forth, one way or another.

Those same people WANTED the pilots to be captured in Iran. These are SICK PEOPLE.

Since last September, it has been a time for choosing... and people ARE choosing... and the masks ARE coming off - as they should.

F-'em x 100.

The good news, @BendingWave , is that we live in Florida - the FAFO state... the state I grew up in and will never, ever leave.

Oh Hey!!!... check out my new to me speakers I've been waiting for 3 years for a used pair to show up... and they did, in Cape Coral. Painted in 2-tone Porsche Silver metallic. The crossover is a bit of a rats nest, but has some good parts. I'm going to throw some customer Copper Foil caps at it and clean it up. With this diffusion and Pass Class A Negative Phase 2nd Order Harmonic...

Awesome! There are few locals I'm supposed to get in touch with to come over for a listen. I've been busy! We'll catch up very soon! I am cracking the code for My Happy...

Totally agree.

One thing I will add, for some strange reason and maybe people feel they can hide behind the cloak of claiming they are not antisemitic BUT just condemning Israel, when they are posting, it is easier to post some of the egregious stuff that people like Trevor posted. As so many of us have posted, It all depends on that condemnation of Israel and the Jewish State, which I won't rehash.

As to the speakers, very nice. They look awesome. My first foray into open baffles was with Carl's great Nola which I loved.

Enjoy.
