Mind you, there was no shortage of incompetence in this whole affair, German or otherwise. Only reasonable person was the French officer who told the German military to get rid of this guy.

So what I've learned today is that single individuals are evidence that migrants are refusing to integrate and demanding concessions from their host nations, but not evidence that they are integrating.

It's almost like there's a narrative being forced.

I would respectfully disagree, since to me it simply follows the principle that tolerant society is fundamentally intolerant of intolerance, which, while ironic on an etymological position, remains true, and that a tolerant society most protect itself from, and limits the abilities of, intolerance, or intolerance will corrupt the situation of tolerance.

The same with Social Justice, and Political Correctness. :)


Still, nothing much has been said. There is no need for Social Justice or Political Correctness in any of it. Just common sense would suffice. There is no need for any Social Justice, as justice according to the current law is sufficient. You're basically saying that all people that are required to follow the law of Norway should be required to follow the law of Norway. We agree. No need to dress it up as anything else. Unless, you are arguing that the current laws should be changed radically.

I grudgingly say the former if forced to rank them separately, because they diminish the evil and incompetence of the worst thing to come out of Europe since smallpox. Otherwise they're both shit.

I mean, they were both pretty damn bad. Both the Wehrmacht and the Kaiser's men committed numerous atrocities during their respective wars. It's utterly ridiculous that anyone glorifies them, frankly.

The reason why I made the distinction is because, in addition to other issues, the context of the use of those terms was specifically on issues related to social justice (women's rights, rights of the child, lgb and transgender rights, anti-discrimination, harassment and hate speech, et cetera). There are other aspects of the issue, but the original post was using the issue of Social Justice as an example, so that is why the clarification was being made.

Are those issues not covered by the law in Norway? :eyebrow: What the hell is Social Justice other than a claptrap term?

Good god. You found two people with far right sympathies and delusions of killing one or two politicians, and the comrades bunking out with them didn't immediately rat them out for the old-style balkenkreuz on their walls? Shit, better not look too closely at all the self-segregating ghettos and their inhabitants then.

Guaranteed people like that think Team America: World Police is a Muslim documentary.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Unfortunately, it seems everything about this is pointing towards a plot to have politicians killed that I didn't initially recognize, which is going too far. But make no mistake, the politicians who were targeted are bringing ruin to Germany with their ideas and policy because they're in a position to be implementing it and are. There isn't any excusing this but I understand that this was borne out of desperation.

Here we have a patriotic and nationalist German soldiers who tried to save their country from further ruin in their own way that had valid motivations in what they wanted to achieve but was misguided in execution. It doesn't help that so much of the right wing's ideological planks are unjustly prohibited by Germany's constitution whilst the radical left's aren't to anywhere near the same extent. The fact remains that German politics is too hostile to right wing ideas when there is a pent up demand for the right's solutions among Germans which isn't being met.

There's no patriotism or honor in trying to implicate thousands of innocent people in his own terror plot! That's only evil, plain and simple.

South Korea's last president was literally in the pocket of a cultist. That doesn't sound very steady to me for regimes. Before that, South Korea had lots of issues with corruption and whatnot too.

Also, I wouldn't exactly call the German government "unsteady". They're doing a marvelous job in light of taking on a major portion of the Middle Eastern refugees and immigrants fleeing from the wars in Iraq and Syria.

I mean, Germany's doing perfectly fine with them there as well, so I don't think it was so bad that the German government decided to show a bit of humanity and help the refugees out.

Saiwania's schtick is "white power!"

If your argument hinges on humanity towards the dreaded other, it's going to fall on deaf ears here.

The way to help these people is to force the nations neighboring Iraq and Syria to take them in instead. The Turks, Saudis, and Qataris were after all, sending money to ISIS and it is their fault that they're willing to destabilize the entire region because they want Assad deposed so badly.

Be realistic: that wouldn't happen. What the European nations, and in particular Germany are doing, is not only beneficial to these refugees fleeing the wars and all their atrocities, but also beneficial to the European nations and the whole world over. They're leading by example where the neighbors of these countries are failing at. They're showing the world what it means to be human.

I say Bah Humbug to any of that. What will end up happening is that the people from the middle east will merely import all of their problems into Europe. Whatever help we provide can't come at our expense. That is the domain of fools. There has to be a quid pro quo to work towards and not a one way street where our generosity has no return and we get taken for a ride.

The refugees have been coming in since the start of the whole mess with ISIS in 2014. It's been three years since, and those problems haven't come to Europe. There's no real expense Europeans are paying. The immigrants are integrating well, and everyone is mutually benefiting in Europe from the whole situation.
