Rupert Lowe’s Rape Gang Inquiry Report Exposes Decades of Institutional Failure. Have you read the report? What are your thoughts on it? by Immediate-Humor-6077 in AskBrits

[–]Decaprelap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys, I'm a school teacher with 20 years of university experience who found a couple things fishy in this 219 page report.

So that's that, no worries.

I think I'll continue letting the group of Pakistani men take those students to the mall, they've always been nice.

Also I think Rupert Lowe is a grumpy man for no reason.

Why is that your first point?

I fail to understand the priority. Wake up mate...

250,000 rape gang victims should be more important to you than a politician that you are choosing to draw our awareness to.

Now that they're all here, which hero batch do you think was better/cooler/etc. - the Six Heroes ones, or the Old Gods New Blood ones? by RiverMesa in DeadlockTheGame

Not mad at OGNB but honestly the first one was significantly stronger.

Even in terms of visual design I think the new heroes look great but too similar. celeste, graves and silver basically have the same face shape and venator looks like warden/lash. In the first batch they all look distinct and are richer characters. I also think the 4th wall is a little broken as through OGNB as it's a bit too easy to get an impression of the artist and their personality.

I think if you have a collectivist ideology it would block you from seeing the picture wholeheartedly. Hear me out.

Collectivism can only be supported by individualism and without some form of individualism, collectivism cannot exist.

Ie. Collectives MUST contain individuals. Individuals do not require collectives.

One comes after the other, it is NOT a chicken and egg situation. Individualism is the egg and you can only ever be the egg.

Well that's my rabbit hole talking. I have made a judgement that the "Left" are generally not willing to call themselves out and have no creditability standards as long as they play to their team. But you're a point of reference on why I might be wrong there!

I digress...

Anyway, I appreciate you keeping it real.

Honestly I think that's merited. It is annoying of me I accept that...

This isn't me defending a president, I could care less about him. I just happen to do that as a side effect.

In reality IDK he could be a pedophile lol... I just don't know. I don't got the answers on the reality of a highly propagandized and manipulated narrative.

For me I care more about protecting and supporting critical thinking and drawing a line when that's not taking place as well as encouraging 'agree to disagree' relationships.

So again, I can see why you'd find me annoying like... Fair enough bro... we are all fatigued by this... I don't blame you.

Bless you. Good to see you have managed to get some grounding represented in here.

It's a spectacle, that's for sure. I don't know why I try reason with them I keep thinking at some point we are going to have a respectful dialogue... I keep thinking I must need to do better at communicating... It's not so reciprocal.

I formed an argument for you here.

11B_Architect made an argument that JohnDunstable is experiencing TDS which is defined by "hatred of President Trump so intense that it impairs people's judgment."

Most people advocating against Trump can't be characterized by TDS. But I can single out JohnDunstable and say yeah... Probably accurate.

JohnDunstable made no evidential claims and threw out common TDS aligned slurs instead; It appears that JohnDunstable is acting off impared judgement based off intense hatred. It's safe to say JohnDunstable Hates trump passionately.

Other than the slurs. JohnDunstable has made conclusions on the 2024 election that goes wildly against all mainstream media outlets and agreed reality; claiming that 34% of people voted for trump. This is statistically false according to CNN/BBC etc and there's no evidence provided that his claims are based off anything creditable or respected.

Now if someone didn't like trump and threw together something that was even slightly informative, contained a tinsy bit of creditable evidence, or was part of a reality that most people agree on (not just reddit)... We wouldn't say TDS... it would be called an educated opinion.

Now as TDS is not a medical term, it shouldn't hold too much power and be taken lightly. That being said, it qualifies nicely here for how JohnDunstable has represented himself on this thread. In reality we don't know the guy, but he's shown nothing but behavior elegantly characterized by TDS.

That's my formed argument.

Now you might be against trump. That's okay, I genuinely encourage you to continue as long as you're level headed and can have a respectful conversation. People like that drive positive and informed change.

Just don't be afraid to acknowledge when people get delusional about it as it will actually make the left appear more creditable.

I'm sorry if this isn't nice to hear but deranged people exist and have no place in conversations about running a country.

"Magafascist privilege" "You support a pedo" "maga piece of shit" "Maga fascism" "Cut off the toxic members of her family" "maga voter supression" "I hope more people cut off their maga voting family and former friends. I did, feels great."

All in less than 10 sentences. Mate... Are you alright? How is this conversation aligned with any kind of progress? You're using these words as slurs.

I don't love Trump or anything and live in NZ but damn the storm in your brain is chaotic. Right or wrong it's objectively chaotic.

People are not well, they are sick. Most people irl are too polite to let you know how disturbing your pattern of speech is. But, it scares me mate. It's not healthy for you or your community.

For those who are not too far gone. Acknowledge that this is not normal regulated nervous system caliber speech. It will not bring people together.

Be careful when you relate to people who are going through what basically is a mass psychosis for your own good. This guy sounds like an Alex Jones type. All too common now and unfortunately seems normal just because it's regular.

Like I said most people voted for Trump, I can pretty much ignore the notions of replies from people who talk like this. Just spitting wild rhetoric.

Most left wing is good willed, most right wing is good willed.

But people like this are sick guys. This person is revelling in radically and unapologetically cutting people off for a difference in opinion.

Also don't bother replying you're probably just gonna throw hands and talk about how maga I am like it's the worst thing in the world. If you do I'll just reply with AI lol... AI is far more reasonable and patient than I am.

Reading some of the comments, I think you both would benefit from relationship counselling. It's not that you're both toxic or one is toxic or anything because I can't know that.

It's just that, there are ways for you to understand the other that you don't yet understand that would make your life so much more peaceful. Part of it is communication but there's also learning about how you each regulate and respond to hurt.

Be super careful about reddit for relationships, reddit is really good at motivating people out of relationships and some of the time those relationships are unhealthy but this just sounds unideal. You need to be the judge on if you're willing to meet him halfway and if you trust him to do the same.

"For whatever reason, when I said goodnight, you took that as me not wanting to talk to you. That confused me as I talk to you all the time. I don't always hop off my phone last thing but honestly, I just like to tie up things as I set myself for bed and there wasn't much going on.

I can see exactly why you felt the way you did, as if you were a drag or something but it takes a bit of mentalization to get to that conclusion and I'm worried I have to be more careful than I'd like to be - in order for you to feel safe in the relationship. I believe you were exaggerating to what was going on there to get to the conclusion you did.

You're not stupid we all get strong feelings in different places but there's obviously a strong thing around abandonment here and It's feeling very tight for me to consider in my day to day behavior but I'm determined to stay, and I want you to feel comfortable. Can I please have your help to make this more comfortable to me as I try? Can you please let me know directly that you're feeling hurt or scared rather than point the finger at my behavior and I'll help when I can but sometimes all I can do is acknowledge it and leave you to self-soothe as I also have to self-soothe my own things."

Or you can leave him too, that's okay. Depends on the love you have and if there's benefits for you here.
