Program or pogrom? Take RT with a spadeful of salt.

Thank you. Missed that auto correction. Hopefully it will now remain pogrom.

not often do i realize in such a stark way how privileged i am. ... & my kitchen mate? she still maintains that humanity has earned the right to stay.

Just because you feed her. Die and she'll probably eat you!

@FrayedBear, i wouldn't feed a human if my life depended on it 😀 that's a privilege reserved to fauna only.

Wonderful-now the Neo-Nazis are attacking Gypsies? (Roma).

Well, the Nazis rounded up gypsies during WWII. I'm not surprised, just saddened that it could happen now.

Try the Romanians. That country is split between those of Roma origin and those who are not. It has nothing to do with being right wing or left wing.

@Petter I'm not sure what you mean. Or what that has to do with the persecution of gypsies, past or present.

@bingst Merely that it might be convenient to put the blame on extreme right wing groups like the Nazis and Neo-Nazis, but the truth is that most societies, whatever their politics, dislike Gypsies.

@Petter Oh, I see. At least in Romania, it seems to be a dying subculture anyway. And lots of romanians are part gypsy. I'm not sure anyone is putting blame of... what? on Nazis. But they definitely were rounded up by the Nazis and exterminated in WWII. It's like you're saying it's okay to kill them off because nobody likes them???

@bingst It's not OK to kill them. However, almost all countries have laws against people of no fixed address, gypsies, alias "travellers", are not welcome in most countries.
They originated from India. Many ended up in Spain, where many Southern towns towns allocated them areas for themselves, and where they still live in pretty tight-knit "Gitano" communities. The Spanish Flamenco dance is of Gypsy origin, by the way.

I just don't even know what to say anymore. Will we as a species ever mature?

And now being extended to the Jewish fraternity
Anti-Semitic attacks in Ukraine double in 1yr – Jewish group [rt.com]

Russia wishes to paint Ukraine in the worst possible light. Beware of taking the bait.
Read your history. Russia has persecuted and exiled Jews for very many years. Ask Israeli citizens of Russian origin about it.
Russian persecution of Jews explains why there are so many of them in countries like the USA.
Semitic peoples, by the way, includes all the Palestinians. Ever watched a news reel and triede to determine which are Israeli and which Palestinian?

@Petter Have you seen it reported elsewhere?

@Petter Wasn't Russian communism the result of Jews?

@FrayedBear Exactly! It's propoganda. Therefore only reported by the propogator.

@FrayedBear Only if the despotic Romanovs were Jewish.
Marx had a Jewish ancestory, but his family were Christian. He himself was an atheist. So, according to the rules of Russia Today (RT) "Those despicable atheists were responsible for foisting communism upon the world."

@Petter You will be pleased to learn that I have installed your favourite news organisation's app on my phone and have just made a post to register its arrival. ?

@FrayedBear Now you can REALLY comment on obscure stuff.
