If this person was Muslim or brown then they'd be dead or handcuffed to gurney in a hospital ICU.

This is absolutely completely untrue. Especially since the woman was latino with a Spanish accent.

You know what. People probably don't tell you this enough, but shut the fuck up.

Edit: I fully concede my point on my assumptions concerning her race and accent. That was my own prejudice working against me and I was unable to filter it in this comment. I apologize for my racial sensitivity.

However, I will not concede my point on how absolutely untrue comments statements are about Brown and Muslim people being treated differently in this particular scenario. And I will once again reiterate for that person to shut the fuck up.

We cannot vouch if she’s of Latino decent since we’re bad at telling that kind of stuff (she doesn’t look Latino at all, just a typical whit lady to us with a tan), but we can tell that’s very much not a Spanish accent.

Bthest is very much right, especially since Muslim, brown, and various other minorities have been removed from planes for far lesser to even just existing (did you magically forget the fucn racist executive order 13769 Muslim ban on planes they tried pushing in 2017??) no yeah she’s very much privileged and no we also wouldn’t feel safe with her on a plane or anyone else shouting/harassing/disturbing the peace.

We’re not sure if the guy was security or not but him trying to be respectful we’re guessing he either didn’t/couldn’t request security or thought he could handle the situation on his own. Either way there was extreme favoritism towards her being a white Christian (he probably didn’t want to escalate it himself because putting the airline/himself on a Christian hit list is horrible) especially with her trying to escalate the situation several times egging them in to being physical to her or provoking.

In any case tldr your wrong, her religion and skin color were deciding factors in their actions and she’s not Latino nor was that a Spanish accent. Mejor suerte la próxima vez, así que cállate la puta boca. :/

I'll concede my original point. I was wrong about her race, nationality, and accent. Looking back, that was my own unchecked prejudice. I made an assumption based on how she looked and spoke, and I shouldn't have. That's on me.

That said, I think you're doing something very similar when you confidently assert that she was treated differently because she was white and Christian. The video doesn't establish that. It's an inference about the motives of the airline staff, not evidence. You're presenting speculation as though it's a proven fact.

As for Executive Order 13769, that isn't really relevant here. It was an executive order signed by Donald Trump restricting entry into the United States from several Muslim-majority countries. It was enormously controversial, challenged in court, and widely criticized as discriminatory. But it was an immigration policy, not a policy directing airlines to remove Muslims from domestic flights. Pointing to an unpopular executive order from an administration that many people already viewed as racially insensitive doesn't demonstrate that race or religion were the deciding factors in this completely separate incident.

If your argument is simply that she should have been removed from the plane sooner because she was causing a disturbance, I can understand that position. But claiming she received preferential treatment because she was white and Christian requires evidence specific to this incident, not assumptions about the motivations of the people involved.

Edit: One more important point, because I think a lot of people get this confused:

The United States is not the Donald Trump administration. There are tens of millions of Americans who do not support what his administration is doing and actively oppose many of its policies, including me.

Please don't take the actions of one administration and attribute them to the American people as a whole. The United States is a nation of over 330 million people with a wide range of political beliefs, and no single administration speaks for every American.

Not sure how you can say she’s not being treated better when there have been many people arrested/literally dragged/denied access but ok, she more than likely just got into another plane and stfu that time while (again) many others would’ve been banned from that air port or more likely arrested by air port police.

Regardless the full picture isn’t clear due to lack of public evidence except her video (unless the airline made a statement but we’re too lazy to look for it rn, typing this while rewatching one piece lol) so if you want to discuss further on her being escorted as calmly even though she was pointing out she totally didn't have a gun or bomb (that right there is usually an instant tackle) we both would need more evidence on what actually went down with how the airline treated her. But from the video so far yeah she was treated far better than many others along with a long well documented history of other similar incidents (and some we’ve personally experienced like how while working at star bucks we had to kick out anyone soliciting, including religious stuff, however that was not including Christians (we kicked them out anyways idgaf)) it’s hard to believe she was treated as well as Alvin Jackson, Emmanuel Jean Joseph, Xavier Veal and 5 other people of color being kicked off an American Airlines plane with no valid reason, David Dao a Vietnamese physician being physically assaulted and dragged off a United Express plane, two unnamed muslim couple kicked off Delta Airlines, and many others. None of them were being disruptive or even a bother to anyone else and yet they get harassed, dragged out or worse assaulted. Instead they let the lady say her spoil then calmly walked her out while (again) she was trying to initiate confrontation several times. So sorry but we’d have to disagree on her being treated as unfairly as others when there’s a bit of a pattern.

Also yes, Executive Order 13769 was an immigration ban but overall it was treated and implemented as a blanket ban as Muslims and other minorities were affected heavily in usa as well. Damage was literally immediate with families torn apart, people detained for no reason, blocked even state by state as they were still not a citizen yet. So glad they finally stopped this whole charade but it also wasn’t the first time this stuff has happened, it’s been going on since 11/9/2001 (September 11th 2001) with many people being discriminated for being Muslim and/or for religious clothing. But even through it all we can still both easily agree it was super fucked. People needed help and usa was obligated to assist like all other able bodied countries and fail time and time again, calling themselves a nation of immigrants is a joke.

And to your PS: we were born in USA, the system failed us severely. We’ve been discriminated and harassed several time’s by strangers even religious groups for being either disabled or trans. We left USA right before Trump took office literally spending our entire life savings to get here in the EU and holy shit we’ve never felt safer than before. It’s night and day on how much usa has failed. Donald Trump is just everything the USA political powers and 1% was to afraid to say and now what? USA didn’t magically get shit When Trump got into office in 2016 it was already trash. It didn’t get saved when Biden got in it was still held in place in a stand still, and 2024 it definitely got worse since the dirty douche figured out how to fuck everyone over and get paid doing so. Anyone who says USA was great before Trump is privileged.

2

I'll start with Alvin Jackson, Emmanuel Jean Joseph, and Xavier Veal. That case did, in fact, involve racial discrimination by the airline, and it was ultimately settled out of court. Those three men were initially removed from the plane over alleged offensive body odor, but after the situation was reviewed by airline personnel, they were allowed back on board. They were not screaming, yelling, or causing a disturbance. So while that case is real, it has nothing to do with the situation you're describing. More importantly, the people who were removed complied with the crew's instructions. It doesn't lend much support to your argument.

The woman in this case, Whitney Lynn, was banned from flying on all airlines owned by that airline group, which I believe includes three or four carriers. She also wasn't forcibly removed because she complied with the order to leave the aircraft. She may have been loud and belligerent, but she did not physically resist.

As for the executive order, it was not legally considered a blanket ban on Muslims. You're applying that label based on your own interpretation rather than how it was ultimately treated in law.

You're falling into the trap of steering the conversation toward a conclusion you already want to reach, in this case, condemning the Trump administration and portraying the United States as uniquely terrible. That's not what we're discussing here. Racial profiling exists. Not just in the United States, but virtually everywhere. Racist incidents happen in every country. Some receive extensive media coverage; many do not.

I'm well aware of my country's shortcomings. However, the claim that people are generally afraid to walk the streets for their own safety is simply not an accurate description of everyday life in the United States. If believing that helps reinforce your view of America, that's your prerogative. But it doesn't make it true.

The basic door to door proselyting strategy (which has a 0% success rate) to make sure they don't leave the cult, then...

13

Yes. It reinforces the idea that the world is corrupt, fallen, that it won't accept them. That only the cult will accept them. It reinforces the separation of cult and world, and makes cult the only attainable form of community.

Community is the cult's greatest weapon. Gangs, religions, the manosphere, neo-Nazi... so many groups work by finding the isolated and disempowered, offering them a community that will adopt them (conditionally). Isolated people swallow the conditions readily in order to have a community, even an unhealthy one. Humans are social creatures.

Getting your members to do behaviours you know will see them rejected (like door-knocking) reinforces the indoctrination that only your cult can offer community. Even if they have doubts or discomfort, they won't leave.

Some of my strongest convictions against Christianity come from learning they told flat out lies in the apologetics classes and used lots of logical fallicies.

I think a good way to handle these might be to get everyone on the plane to start chanting "troll" in unison at her. By doing so:

  • You directly call out the disruptive and bad-faith behavior, rather than attacking them based on their message.
  • You make it so they have no useful footage for their socials. Post a video of one person confronting you? Easy to claim victimhood based on religion. Post a video of a whole plane calling you a troll? You look like the bad guy.
  • You make it a group effort that people can participate in with little risk or effort. It takes much less courage to join a chant of, "troll! troll! troll!" than it does to personally and individually call them out. Plus, chants are just fun.
  • You completely drown them out. Let her bitch all she wants. No one will hear her over a hundred people shouting "troll" in unison.
2

I agree with all but point 2. She'd salivate at having an entire plane "persecuting" her. Looking like the victimized minority in a society against you is the fiction that these morons are trying to portray. They want to feel like that last few good Christians in a world turned against them while ignoring that the vast majority of our society believe more or less the same shit as them or at the very least, treat Christianity as the default in the US culturally.

Fuck religion

Beware not to conflate the thousand, likely million, different religions and belief systems that existed and exist worldwide for Abrahamic religions.

Have you ever saw some Luciferian practitioner going door-to-door preaching the words of the Lightbringer?
Have you ever saw Wiccan priestesses hijacking an airplane to try and convert people to Goddess Hekate?
Have you ever saw some Umbanda's Mãe de Santo yelling Laroyê Exu out loud?
Maybe some Thelemite trying to make people to read Liber Al Vel Legis, or some Hermetist trying to shove The Kybalion onto people's throats?
Me neither.

Similar thing goes with my Lilith-centered belief. My religious practices are mostly between me and Her, and whenever I do something public (devotional art, carving of sigils/seals, etc), it's never directed at "converting others".

So, again, beware not to conflate "religion" with the Abrahamic ones. Or you risk becoming the very kind of "religious zealot" you swore to be against.

Every acceptance of superstition lays the groundwork for a belief in the supernatural. Every Homeopathy-Karen, every Wicca-Hippie, while peaceful and harmless in and of themselves provides the fertile ground on which a bigger misconception of reality can grow.

Should you be able to have your own beliefs and worship as you please as long as you don't intrude on the rights of others?

Absolutely

But should society consider every expression of unfounded belief a failure of education in critical thinking? Yes.

Supernatural thinking and superstition are fundamentally at odds with a congruent model of reality, they are infectious memes and can fester into extremism if left unchecked. Not necessarily in the individual but absolutely on a societal scale.

The Wiccan priestess, the Luciferian practitioner, the Thelemite are not the Hijackers but they absolutely are the grains of sand that in their totality create the wandering dunes that ever so slowly swallow civilizations. Do we say "fuck that grain of sand in particular"? No, but nonetheless we fight the dunes.

7

Eh. I'm just interested in human psychology, so while you think it had "nothing to do with anything" to you, it did have meaning to me. And it's preposterous to think there's no way to know how human psychology is reflected at the ballot box.

I mean I only made an observation, but it's not like it has no basis in reality. I just think it makes intuitive sense to conclude that individuals who are highly self-absorbed wouldn't necessarily care about a collective, relatively anonymous civic duty like voting. Vain people probably love the *stage *of politics, but they are far less interested in the *chore *of voting.

So I'm not saying vain people AS A WHOLE skip elections. In fact I think the opposite there, that they are likely to be much more vocal in the political sphere. Narcissistic political participation is largely driven by a desire for a captive audience and public recognition. Activities like protesting, posting on social media, or aggressively debating are highly visible. In contrast, the act of voting in a democratic election is intentionally anonymous. An election ballot offers no audience, no applause, and no opportunity to publicly demonstrate superiority.

So when you isolate the physical, logistical act of **voting **from the rest of the political sphere, the behavior of highly vain or narcissistic individuals trends toward disinterest in the process. Vain individuals often possess a grandiose sense of self-importance and believe their direct intervention is required to fix things. The realization that their single vote carries the exact same mathematical weight as millions of other voters can feel insulting to their sense of authority.

jesus fucking christ - what an intolerable and inconsiderate human - if anyone is voluntarily associated with this person (read: not family who is obligated to maintain at least a weak relationship with them) I immediately judge them as being just as intolerable, ignorant, and entitled as this silly fuck.

Unfortunately, the cabin pressure differential is so high that the only way to open the door midflight is to be on a Boeing

alternative scenario, she sits next to a muslim who is loudly praying "EXCUSE ME FLIGHT ATTENDANT THIS PERSON IS A SUICIDE BOMBER".

She is probably just grifting to get into politics or adjacent.

lemmy.world

Not probably grifting. This is the grift. She is trying to develop a following of religious extremists who believe that if you are not a Jesus freak then you are evil. And there is nothing Jesus freaks love more than cosplaying as an oppressed minority.

shes pretty late to the game, there already too many of them, she will be competing with faux talking heads(like ingraham, gaines, likely fulnecky) and then on the circuit: owens, and others.

How disruptive this silly woman is. Not all the time they can preach anywhere they please.

3

Uuuhhh yeah it's called "freedom of speech" and not proselytism I'm sooo sure about that

10

I think next time I get on a plane I'm going to get up and start a talk about this really weird dream I had a few nights ago. It should only take about an hour or so. What, I can't do that? People will be annoyed? What about freedom of speech? Hey everyone we can no longer talk anymore to people who are a captive audience and can't leave to get away from our bullshit.

Aren't there some pretty strict laws about taking control of an airplane like that?

7

Impeccable professionalism of the steward whilst safely removing this dangerous nutter from the plane even in the face of all her mentally deranged discourse.

7

"Modern prophet just as irritating, unnecessary as ancient ones, says other passengers."

6

More infuriating, I'd say, because they learned how to he better at being horrible. This bitch, for example, waits for people to all be stuck together with no option to leave, and THEN she starts her delusional nonsense

Please, I'd give anything for it to be the last days of these people.

Do we have a Lemmy equivalent yet?

It's a super quick way to end up on a no-fly list. Even outside of the plane, which sane person attacks someone physically just for spreading a message they don't like?

Based anti-fascists do.

If she is doing this, just imagine what awfulness they are doing outside of the plane, the world would not miss them. It's not what she is is spreading. I dont give a damn if they worship a false God. But interrupting a peaceful flight, unforgivable sin. they'd get a warning. Then choke hol if they refused. Then staff can take us both of the plane. Im not bad ass, I'm broken and angry and no ammount of therapy can fix it.

You'd murder somebody on a plane for being annoying with proselytizing?

You're more dangerous than she is (and I agree with her being removed from the plane), seek help

Am getting help. Still want her dead. I'd give her a warning first. If they back down and stop. They live.

A plane is a plane, with etiquette rules, not a debate podium. If you can't behave in a way that doesn't lead to delays in flight and makes the day of the attends hard, that is a you problem.

You can preach whatever BS you want on a street corner. I am not a captive audience, and I can walk right by.

In a jet, I am unable to merely leave.

I dont care what you want to preach. Find a different place to spew your vitriol.

Just so it's clear: I don't support IDF. I'm saying that a country has the same right to apply their rules as an airline. I'm still perfectly aware that this will get downvoted to hell because lemmings don't like it when leftist speech is suppressed but love when right-wing speech is and will not admit it.

Did he start preaching to a captive audience who werent able to leave?

So you think delaying a plane is the only rule around speech that exists in the world? No other laws exist?

Or are you only able to compare exactly identical situations?

Doesn't really matter. I know everyone will now be playing "find 100 differences" with those two situations bringing up one irrelevant thing after another while completely missing the only thing that matters: in both cases it was legal to suppress speech, lemmy reacted differently because in one case they agree with the speaker and in the other case they don't.

feddit.uk

No, I think bob vylen or whatever his name is keeps his speech to his shows and the media and doesn't subject unwilling people to his opinions when they have no escape.

You don't get to stand on your soapbox on other peoples dime, if you're holding up a plane taking off it doesn't matter if you're doing it by speaking your mind or taking a shit in the isle. The airline has the right to kick you the fuck off

What an asinine response. Of course the other commenter does not think this. Nobody does.

This has nothimg to do with left or right. Bringing Jesus' actual teaching is if anything leftist itself What this is about is that one passengers violated the terms of service of the airline, was obnoxious towards others caused a delay in flight operations and made the work for the flight crew just that much harder for egoistic self centred reasons. If someone had done the same while preaching the socialist revolution my ooinion on it would be very much the same.

Have you clicked the link? We both agree that anyone preaching anything in a plane should be removed. What about the other story? Is stopping pro-Palenstinian artists who was chanting "Death to IDF" from entering Germany a violation of his free speech rights or not?

Calling for death is not a right in Germany, is it?

Yes, so we agree both decisions are legal and valid. Yet lemmings are mad about one decision and not the other. Hence my meme.

Matthew 6:5 New International Version

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others."

1

Yet she multiplied her promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth, when she had prostituted herself in the land of Egypt and lusted after their lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions. So you revisited the indecency of your youth, when the Egyptians caressed your bosom and pressed your young breasts.…

OK I'LL SPELL IT OUT IN SMALL WORDS SO MAYBE YOU CAN COMPREHEND:

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO BOTHER PEOPLE ON THE PLANE.

no you fucking wouldn't

Dude, chilax. I'm not saying this lady should be allowed to preach on a plane. I'm saying the airline has the right to remove her and Germany has the right not to let in people that chant “Death, death to the IDF,” Lemmy reacted differently to both post.

Now you will start looking for differences between those situations but you will fail to prove that one was legal and the other wasn't. The only difference will be that you like one speaker but not the other.

Dude, get fucked.

. I’m saying that a country has the same right to apply their rules as an airline.

you're confusing unrelated things in order to make a futile point because

these aren't related in any way shape or form. it's completely 'legal' and logical to shut this shrieking hag down on the air plane, and it's still hypocritical of germany to censor speech critical of israel. these things aren't connected in any way.

you're just full of garbage

Did she actually highjack the plane? Going from the video it sounds like a bit of a hyperbole.

EDIT: Jesus fuck, no one actually provided anything to the contrary, just downvoted. Almost proving what I said elsewhere about lemmy's toxicity...

awful.systems

The term hijack has more uses than just describing the physical act of taking control of a vehicle by force. The use in the title matches the 2nd definition given here (example A specifically)

4

To take control of (something) without permission or authorization and use it for one's own purposes: dissidents who hijacked the town council; spammers who hijacked a computer network.

She seems to have hijacked/taken control of the passengers' attention. She didn't take control of the plane. Very, very important difference.

Definitely seems highly exaggerated. She looks so calm and collected, not screaming or making a fuss. She complied immediately. Seems a bit rash to throw her off the plane, just going off of this video. 🤨

Edit: bruh, I know she was probably disruptive before this, this is her own video after all, so she's acting right for her own shoot.

I'm on you guys' side lol.

Yeah, that's why I said "just going off of this video". I can imagine she was being disruptive before this, especially since this seems to be her own video. I imagine she's acting goody when she is recording herself.

Thank you for the sane response instead of just down voting or cursing me out. Appreciate it. ❤️

Edit: lol, I'm agreeing with you, but still people are down voting. Makes no sense. 😆 Very Reddit moment.

So you realise the crew are privy to all of the buildup, which makes the following statements questionable:

This comes across as you insinutating there's no pretense, and that she's the victim; which is presumably why you were downvoted.

I'm not saying that was or wasn't your intent, just letting you know how it reads. There definitely are scenarios where people are unfairly ejected from flights, but this doesn't seem to be one of those situations, based on recent news shared.
