The Manchester Attacks Megathread

[Vaquas]

How can I be racist if my girlfriend black

Easy: If you talk like a racist, you're a racist. Nobody gives a crap about your personal relationships.

Wrong.

[Liriena]

And that comparison justifies Hitler's actions in your eyes?

Are you saying that if I don't want Stalin I have to want Hitler?

No. I'm saying that you clearly were trying to minimize Hitler's actions by comparing them to Stalin's... and the best part is you did it without any prompting. Some other poster pointed out that obsessing over "blood" in discussions about race and ethnicity has generally had terrible consequences, and you immediately, without any clear reason, proceeded to defend Hitler by comparing him to Stalin. A completely irrelevant whataboutism that says a lot about your worldview.

I believe in the horseshoe, I'm not one to fall into extremes like you.

What extremes? Please, do explain.

[Sjealand]

English is defined by blood, not how much you adapted to the culture.

The culture thing has been tried, this is the result.

So the queen isn't English.

Curious.

No one except the celts are English, I guess.

You might notice that the European Royal Elite is usually a mix of various european ethnic groups.

Elaborate.

[Dumb Ideologies]

England for the English.
And this wouldn't have happened.

He's fucking english.

Unlikely that he saw himself that way. I'm going to cautiously say that he probably overwhelmingly defined himself by his religion!

[Caracasus]

Pineapples are tasty enough that it's worth the effort of peeling them.

See? I can make statements completely disconnected from the argument as well!

Nationalism and genocides are unrelated as well. Try again.

So you're seriously stating that the whole "blood decides who is/isn't a citizen of our country" wasn't a contributing factor to the dehumanization of various peoples and various attempted genocides across the globe?

Legal question: can we deport queen for not being British^tm enough?

I walk the thin line between extreme left and extreme right, it's called the golden mean, kid.

She's basically a spy that's lived among the English for a dozen generations.

[Raermany]

No. He's a Mancunian of Libyan ancestry. Try to keep up.

Why do you mention his ancestry you bigot, ethnicity doesn't matter.

Uhhh... Isn't a line between two extremes still extreme?
That could be phrased better but I think people know what I mean.

Barring a fuck up of the explosives that is

And I doubt he would have ignited at an Ariana Grande concert if it was an accident.

I was thinking more "they exploded too early, before he had a chance to get out of the blast radius".

The dude was English. Born and raised.

English is defined by blood, not how much you adapted to the culture.

The culture thing has been tried, this is the result.

How far back are you going here? Am I not English, given that some of my ancestors immigrated in 1066? Bloody violent they were, as well.

[Caracasus]

So you're seriously stating that the whole "blood decides who is/isn't a citizen of our country" wasn't a contributing factor to the dehumanization of various peoples and various attempted genocides across the globe?

Yep.

Want to expand on that a little?
