A notorious far right politician. Apparently pointing out how white supremacist europe is, and how racial discrimination plays into crime rates puts someone on the same moral plane as him.
It's a bit hilarious considering how macron went up to the g20 4 years ago and went "lol africa is...
Was actually channelling hendryk there rufus, you'd like him.
But you are forgetting that the underlying conditions of countries in europe are not the same as America. For starters, most European countries never had a large proportion of the population considered three fifths human, treated as...
Not "inherently more violent people", rather, a large section of the US population has been thoroughly dehumanised for over 3 centuries (slavery, Jim crow) and people act surprised at them having severe problems within their communities (hint, mlk didn't solve race relations forever, far from...
Like I said, most of the difference is that America has had a former slave population that has been considered three fifths human from day one (and police routinely hunt them for sport). Of course that is going to affect crime rates. European countries are by and large homogenous and with much...
America, where a large swathe of the population was legally considered three fifths human and subject to lynching on a whim until 60 years ago, has a higher problems with crime than wealthy lily white homogeneous societies (where its white supremacy with a smile)? What a surprise.
It's easy to...
Go ahead, tell women who are afraid of being raped/murdered (especially after the Sarah everard case, when a white police officer did it) that they should pay more taxes for men to be coddled for raping women. What was it Margaret atwood said, from her lived experience? Something about men...
"Oh women, you know that rapist who made headlines? Well he's getting a better standard of living than the average woman who fears being raped at their expense, and on top of that, said woman might not be allowed to know he's a rapist!"
Norway style rehabilitation is a white person's luxury. As...
And on the flip side, people will talk about how wonderfully humane and civilised germany is for giving prisoners so much.
Until a Brock Turner comes along.
@Warringer in the UK's case, there needs to be a lot of popular support for these policies that can't be short circuited by news of a young woman or child being brutally murdered, and it's been that way since the Bulger murder in 1993.
As I said in the other thread, the British Media LOVE the "horrific killers get it good at the taxpayers' expense", and I've even heard people talk about how the Borstal System was good. Where to start is the selling point, because that's a big hurdle.
Reminder that Obama let Bush era ghouls walk on lying about WMD And torture programmes. And Now, Liberals lap up their every word because they say "trump bad!"
See: Prohibition. The textbook example of "Never pass a law that can't be obeyed!". And even then, there's nothing to stop Congress from killing it stone dead and considering it a waste of political capital.
And the messaging wasn't helped when doctors wrote an open letter saying "if we agree with your cause, you don't have to obey lockdowns!" As well as spreading the lie that masks didn't work back in march last year. Just imagine if trump had gone maximum wuhan instead (the optics of us military...
