@JohnPeric159923 @Lili_Chen_2005 @ACC_National Debs was also jailed under the 1917 Espionage Act which was pushed by Wilson as part of a general attack on left and anti-war dissidents. His sentence was later commuted to time served by Harding who privately argued Debs should never have been arrested at all.

@JohnPeric159923 @Lili_Chen_2005 @ACC_National The socialists very much had their own base that was distinct from the Democratic base. It was so distinct that formerly Socialist labor leaders had to create the ALP to get traditional Socialist voters to vote for FDR decades later.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@JohnPeric159923 @Lili_Chen_2005 @ACC_National This is a weird take. It was Roosevelt who called him "Brother Debs" during the 1912 election, to Debs disgust, and tried to gain support from Socialists. Wilson and Debs both inherited elements of the always heterogenous Populist movement but that was along older divides.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@Lili_Chen_2005 @ACC_National I'm neither a fan of Roosevelt or a conservative but he is the guy who said that "wise progressivism" and "wise conservativism" were complementary and not opposites. Neither Dems nor Republicans were "the conservative party" in the early 1900s. They had different cleavages.

@PaulSalon2 @GoodVibePolitik No public info said she had left until after she scrubbed her IG. The protesters wouldn't know if she had left.
If so, her sister should have said she doesn't work there and her views are her own. Instead, they said the only reason they could be on the list is a Magen David.

It turns out that a Spanish neo-Nazi group received training from the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment in Ukraine.

El País reports this.

And now I can’t figure out whether it’s right to say that Azov are neo-Nazis?

Or maybe it’s wrong?

After all, they seem to be great heroes. And the press does its utmost to ignore the presence of neo-Nazis in Ukraine.

Moreover, in the criminal case against me, initiated by the Guardia Civil, it says that I was spreading false information by claiming that neo-Nazis exist in Ukraine. I just can’t make up my mind.

So, are there neo-Nazis in Ukraine or not?

@njhellsbel88978 @GoodVibePolitik People already do this. People wanted to Boycott Budweiser for having a transgender person in a commercial. Not because it tastes like shit and gives them diarrhea. Because of a marketing stunt.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@PaulSalon2 @GoodVibePolitik She is described in multiple news reports as a co-owner. With the info that has been added to her social media after she removed the "Hardcore Zionist" from her bio it could be that she has left the business since it says she's working in the financial industry.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@TicketBidz @kittyslinksaway @arash_tehran If she no longer is part of the business they could have said that too. They repeatedly gave interviews together identifying as co-owners. The waybackmachine has copies of the website saying this as well. (The current version just says "partners".)

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@TicketBidz @kittyslinksaway @arash_tehran Well, maybe you will get lucky and this will save you from the decline that you've been going through since the failed franchise plan and the lockdown.
But remember "if a person denies a charge or deposit, or swears falsely, he must repay the principal and add a fifth part"

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@TicketBidz @kittyslinksaway @arash_tehran Well yeah, that's presumably the whole reason your wife went lied to a national audience and claimed that she was being targeted for her Magen David. Better marketing than just saying that her sister's views aren't relevant to the business.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@TicketBidz @kittyslinksaway @arash_tehran A person identified as a co-owner who is linked to the business social media calling herself a "Hardcore Zionist" is, unsurprisingly, going to lead to people calling it a Zionist-owned business.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@TicketBidz @kittyslinksaway @arash_tehran I'm not the one who originally shared the post. It was a person ostensibly involved in the protests. I'm willing to admit it could be inaccurate. But let's be serious. Your business consistently linked to an account labeled "Hardcore Zionist". That's how you got on the list.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@TicketBidz @kittyslinksaway @arash_tehran Then the person who shared it might have been wrong in their conclusions. Must have been confused by your sister-in-law's politics.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@kittyslinksaway @arash_tehran You're the one grasping at straws here. You falsely said that there was no possible political motive other than antisemitism and their Magen David. It's clear that people had good reason to think they are Zionists even if including them on that basis was a bad call.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@kittyslinksaway @arash_tehran Again, we're going off of what can be determined from public information available now. From that we can see exactly why people think they're Zionists. There is no mystery there. We might learn more as independent media starts to pick up the ball dropped by the big names.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@Pcrawjr @GoodVibePolitik Their IG always tags a co-owner that described herself as a Hardcore Zionist. They were also part of the Blue Ribbon For Israel Campaign. Certainly not the same as the people literally funding the IDF, but there is no mystery why people think they're Zionists. They lied about it.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@kittyslinksaway @arash_tehran If you were going to shift goalposts you should have checked to make sure your new position wasn't also easily disprovable.

Many of them have responded and have even added additional reasons they had it on the list, including this prominent display in the old restaurant:

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@engleberta6279 @kittyslinksaway @arash_tehran That will probably take waiting for the smoke to clear and people locally who are able to investigate and be taken seriously getting together to see if anything went wrong and what to do to avoid it in the future.

[Christopher Hill @Commiechu]

@Boston__Sucks @LucBernard @CathyYoung63 They didn't have to dig through websites. It was linked on all of their social media posts.
