Although the immigration and refugee waves have only become an issue due to the right wing narrative of a great replacement that got fueled by mainstream media and what were formerly centrist politicians. It was never actually as much of an issue as the other things you mentioned are.

I think nowadays easiest is to just translate whatever subs you have using ChatGPT

Trickle on me daddy

Likely that there’s more to this, but I think it’s also important to remember that they did the same to some climate activists and that institutions in France are notoriously hostile towards the French-Muslim population, especially of (North-)African descent.

There are way too many people alive who still remember France having colonies. Levantine Arabs have a better standing due to some Palestinians and Lebanese churches having close ties to France, but in general I also wouldn’t rule out that this sentence is as harsh just because someone disliked by the government was too critical of said government. Although I have to admit that this is now speculation from my side

Now do Waluigi

Absolutely this. I saw the videos first and read newspaper articles later. Nowhere in the articles did they mention the chants and the ripping off of flags, I saw both in those videos. It’s crazy how even violent hooligans are now portrayed as victims just because it fits the narrative.

I will send them a letter stating that I’m condemning this plot

Holy shit this persons comment history, would like to say welcome to Lemmy but probably there’s a reason you had to create a new account.

I’d take a burger or some fried chicken over German food anytime.

Yo momma.

Also iirc lemmy.ml doesn’t require an email address which is another plus. My account was also with ml initially. The only disadvantage of lemmy.ml is that if you go to all or local you’ll see all of that tankie BS.

This is a horrible plot, interesting data but horrible visualization.

And I think it’s totally fine to criticize religion, especially organized religion that instrumentalizes people for their own political gain. For the sake of free speech that has to be possible.

But this specific mockery imo comes from a very particular crowd that comments this under every article that is about a Muslim read person committing a crime. And then if you base your observation on news articles there’s unfortunately a long history of institutional racism that creates a bias in our perception through overreporting in the media and overemphasis in law enforcement.

Maybe to bring across my point, if a Zionist settler/soldier does some terroristic/genocidal, we also don’t establish a connection between their actions and Judaism as a whole, because we would be rightfully accused of antisemitism. In the same way, the actions of a few extremist individuals shouldn’t hold hostage the other 99.9% of the 1.5bn Muslims who live peacefully. I think I wouldn’t care too much and would agree that it’s just mockery if this wouldn’t be so common to read on right wing platforms. I don’t want to let any malicious actors shift the Overton window in here to where it is in most other social media.

Not in the US but in another place where fascism is on the rise. The sad reality is that leftists all around the world might have to start thinking about self-defence. Go to the gym, practice martial arts. Since you’re in the US, arm yourself, learn how to shoot.

It sounds crazy but I’m not kidding, we still have time until the SA/SS Type of people actually have the power to roam the streets and establish a full blown dictatorship. Before that happens we have to learn to fight back.

In parallel, get organized. Join grassroots organizations. Try to spread the word. Talk to the people you know and tell them what you’re doing and why. It feels like we can’t do anything but we have to start somewhere.

And finally, think about an exit strategy. Once it’s 1933 and the dictatorship is established and political enemies go to the concentration camps, it’s too late and you better be somewhere abroad already.

I know all of this sounds extreme, and I’m hoping for a much more boring dystopia, but this is what would prepare you for the truly Orwellian dystopia and what may help prevent it from happening.

Why would I be nice to bigots? That’s what got us in the whole mess that is another Trump presidency and Europe sliding into fascism in the first place. If you want to have a taste of what tolerating this ”I‘m just pointing out facts“ leads to go back to any random politics subreddit and see what has happened there. I don’t need this in here. I’m tired of it. I‘m not special, I’m like 99% of people out there, I’m nice if you are. Being a bigot isn’t being nice.

Autocorrect felt sorry for you. I don’t

It’s easier to blame the voters than to blame the democrats for a miserable campaign

Yeah honestly go back to 4chan with that intel energy

Can these people just fuck off with their „religion of peace“ dogwhistle it’s so annoying and obvious

It’s a nice self selection, I’ll be sad if lemmy should grow and draw all of those redditors here
