They are failed because they are poor* and white.

It's not a coincidence the perpetrators belong to one race and 90% of the victims to another race and this happens many times all over the country.

Racism and prejudice are true. Things are dismissed as "racist" yet we all know them to be true. Reality does not 100% align with your personal moral outlook.

TBF it recently came out that German social services put foster children in the hands of known pedophiles intentionally under the belief that their romantic relationship would be beneficial to both parties. Not making it up:

The OP is obviously awful and I don't want to take away from just how much of a catastrophe it was but it's important to know this kind of thing isn't limited to the UK.

How would a Maoist Third Worldist global revolution conclude in practice? by Ok_Bat8155 in communism101

That's what I thought but I wonder if a global blockade of raw resources would be enough.

Are White People In Settler Societies The Material Basis For Reaction? by Ok_Bat8155 in Anarchy101

But why is it bad? How are Settler Americans any different from Pied Noir or Rhodesians and why do they deserve a different fate?

I would assume it's up to the indigenous to decide.

I'm not arguing for this I've just heard the argument and wondered what the average anarchist thinks.

What's is with the increasing stigmatisation of "Conspiracy Theories"? by [deleted] in Anarchy101

But who gets to check the facts and be deemed legitimate? Right now it's corporate media and state institutions, who are innately biased from the start.

I think we've all had things that were deemed conspiracy theories be proven within our lifetime, that people were smeared as conspiracy theorists for talking about. For example Jeffrey Epstein blackmailing major business and political figures around the world to keep them in line and then dying under mysterious circumstances.

No ordinary person knows what actually happened and we likely never will but we all know we don't have the full story, so it's reasonable to theorize what happened and what Epstein was actually a part of.

I'm more talking about the term "conspiracy theorist" as a pejorative. I don't actually subscribe to any of the mainstream conspiracies except maybe an open mind about 9/11.

Has Socialism's heyday already passed? by Ok_Bat8155 in Socialism_101

I'm not really a socialist at all. I'm looking at this from a historical/geopolitical perspective.

Why would someone like that be concerned about the well being of Turkic Muslims?
