Current Affairs What is happening?

[Nymzee]

I'm still leaning to the side of them mixing me up with somebody else, be bloody weird to just randomly make that up for an insult

Maybe he spotted Messi once at one of his locals

Let me give you an example - if 10,000 scousers move to Tokyo and just say a small pocket of around 20-30 of them are involved in high profile crimes in the media such as murder/rape/paedophilia with the victims being natives - a lot of Japanese residents will start getting agitated over scousers moving there based on the actions of a minority (look at the reputation of travellers in the UK).

That doesnt make Japanese people racist gammonheeds as the left love to label people - its a simple tribal/cultural reaction thats steeped in our evolutionary makeup

The literal definition of racism.

You accused me of being a nazi for stating asylum seeking men are more problematic than women and children.

Therefore I asked if that was the case would you let a bunch of male asylum seekers kip at your place with your family in the house.

I personally wouldn't but I would happily let an asylum seeking mother and her young kids do so as statistcally they're less likely to commit act of criminality (same with white Brit women).

If you followed the thread you would understand my point was more about gender than race/ethnicity but you were desperate to try point score and blew your load prematurely my friend.

Why are you assuming asylum seekers aren't white?

The literal definition of racism.

Mind blowingly stupid, like all racists, they don't even understand racism.

 

[Lobster Johnson]

Im not advocating the behaviour of the riot - for me its complete mindless idiots acting up same as what we saw during the BLM protests in the pandemic.

Back up just a minute... is protesting a decades old problem of systematic racism by the people charged with keeping everybody safe really the same as a bunch of racist lunatics assaulting emergency workers and attempting to assault the most vulnerable in our society?

Is anybody blaming her?

There are people that would have preferred her to not share the video. Victims of this type of child sex abuse are nearly always disbelieved and told to shut up. If she hadn’t have shared the video, she wouldn’t have been believed. This has been the case time and time again, unfortunately.

I haven't seen a single person suggest that. But I agree, there has been pretty poor support (in the broadest sense) for victims of this type of thing. But I have only seen the one video posted in here, which doesn't offer much context and is unknown if it's been reported to the police. Without more information, it's total speculation.

I have no part to play in culture wars/politics I transcend basic left/right trench warfare.

I support the left welfare state but also the right capitalism

I support the left rehabilitation but also the right capital punishment

I support the right restrictions on immigration but also preach the left benefits of immigration on society/the economy.

Therefore how can I be part of a culture war when I agree with aspects of both the left and right ?

If you look at the current affairs forum as a whole I'm actually one of the most receptive of contributers. Whereas the bulk of the left on here do little but gang up on those who dont tow the party line, throw around insults and libel, middle finger posts and straight up refuse to listen to anything that their echo chamber tells them isn't "liberal thinking".

I dont vote in elections I literally have no part in this society that ya'll have created and persistently complain about.

I graft, tend to the family, do a bit of charity, train and meditate. I have no desire to partake in a war between 2 camps of blinkered sheep mate.

Please don’t tell me, that this “ Y’all “ thing is going to be a regular feature.

Hahahaha

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

What can you possibly mean by this ?

Rehabilitate to death.

Good point. When the troubles started in Ukraine there was an upsurge in 'welcoming' migrant refugees, presumably, imho, because they were of caucasian descent and 'less threatening and moncey'. Weird that, especially as we had a hand in creating the situation.

 

[magicjuan]

Mind blowingly stupid, like all racists, they don't even understand racism.

By saying they aren't racists equals not being racist, as with starting a sentence with "I'm not being racist, but..." and then quoting Mein Kampf or "I work with a black lad...".
Negative IQ.

 

[Ruairi77]

No it doesn't. They're just gullible.

Most racists probably are pretty gullible. Anyway it was a stupid analogy.
