The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Sadly because you are so blinkered by your own ideology you refuse to recognise the similarities.

A brick through a window is a brick through a window. A burnt out shop is a burnt out shop. Obvious similarities. Tens of thousands of people across an entire nation frightened for their own safety and that of their families simply because they're not white and the violence occurring isn't randomized anarchic chaos but is pointedly targeting non-white individuals, businesses, places of worship: it's true, I don't see an equivalent of that in the context of "left" riots, and maybe that is down to me being ideologically blinkered.

It's all about control. Wherever you riot, whoever you target, it sends out a message to wider society that nobody is safe. It's intimidation tactics. The right are scum when they employ fear tactics, as are the left. We can nitpick about the details, we can take sides and defend shite bag action from "our side" by placing that behavior in a wider context. That's fine, You're entitled to do that. But it's pulling the wool over your own eyes to pretend that ultimately it's not all aiming at the same goal. Power and control. Wrap it in a Palestinian flag or a rainbow flag or a union flag, or even a tri-colour, it all smells like shit to me.

If you join a group, fall in line with their herd mentality, conclude that your cause is the most worthy cause going and feel entitled to employ whatever means to achieve your goals, including violence, including employing the exact same tactics that you criticize your ideological enemies for using, then what is the difference between you and your enemy? From a perspective outside of both camps, either side looks more or less identical. Ie. Like a bunch of gimps.

This fella predicted it fairly well in this tweet from 2020. I'm 90 percent sure I predicted the same in this very thread.

The far right and far left should all be rounded up and fucked into a giant meat grinder. A giant meat grinder of love...

[astfgyl]

Haven't they already tried that in Brighton and San Francisco?

Heard Tony Blair on the radio openly say the endgame is digital IDs.

Steamer clearly taking sides and condemning one group while making as little noise as possible about 'our precious Muslim community' is, as you say, petrol on the fire.

The video of the cops fleeing wholesale from whatever was happening in Sheffield is clear evidence of two tier policing. They have been told in no uncertain terms who they can bosh about the head with truncheons and who they can't. Arresting an autistic girl for telling a short haired WPC she looked like her lesbian gran, etc.

Possibly the fastest ever attainment of most hated government ever. How long are they in, a month?

Oh those accusations of two tier are very much backed up. "Don't upset the Muslims, lads. Yes even if they are all tooled up heading out for violence, still don't. Focus on the white lads"

The 'both sides bad' argument is bollocks, by that logic gay people are just as bad because they didn't want to be subjected to forced conversion therapy, criminalisation and general cuntiness, black people are just as bad because they didn't want to be slaves, and Palestinian babies? Sure they should stop crying, their complaining makes them just as bad as the country dropping bombs on them.

The centrist point of view will always make excuses for the far right.

Certainly two-tiered here in Ireland, what did Harris call it, a 'hands-off' approach to the the far right so they can travel up and down the country doing what they like?

[Eoin McLove]

I'm not making excuses for either side. I think all of those issues in and of themselves have validity to varying degrees but I think that bricking in windows, burning property, looting, rioting etc isn't the way to solve them. I think that people allow their own sense of righteousness blind them to their own poor behavior.

Mobs of white men are targeting lone individuals, beating, stabbing, pulling out of cars, in most cases simply for the crime of not being white. Are we seriously suggesting above that the police are going too hard on the poor white lads involved??

Not all asylum seekers/immigrants are non-white.

Why racialise it? You know fine well that there is more to it than that. Wouldn't your argument be negated if a few non caucasians were caught on video tearing up the place?

This amorphous blob of non-white (presumably you are the racist and subscribe to the not one drop doctrine) mickey loving, allah sucking victimhood really has you by the plums, doesn't it?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Excellent point Kev, thank you for that very important clarification. And if the violent xenophobic mobs run out of visually identifiable "foreigners" to target, maybe they'll quieten their shrieks and bellows down enough to start identifying additional targets by accent.

[Caomhaoin]

Sikhs and skinheads, all the lads thegither.

Still less bizarre than the homos for Palestine boys.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I personally know Palestinians who are less homophobic than some of the people who post on this forum. Go figure.

Why don't you pull the big rainbow flag hanging out your window up and head over there once things calm down and see what happens
