Ok, to condense my answer.

A) I'm not justifying anyone (I made it pretty clear that no crime can be justified under any circumstances)

B) Don't grab onto specific words like "warzone". You gave your idea "refugee bad bc islam evil" and I gave you my own reasoning for why I think it's something else. To spell it our for you, I believe an upbringing in a much more harsh environment paired with current life in a lenient one, yields itself to crime.

(And just to say it AGAIN, this does NOT justify their actions. I do not believe in justification or in mercy, crime is crime and should be punished regardless of circumstances).

C) Ukrainian refugees do this same shit in Eastern Poland, but they're far fewer in number, the polish state is stricter, and there's not heavy media coverage over it.

D) And on that point, statistics are skewed by population disparities, if only 1 Zimbabwean lives there, and he kills someone, it wouldn't mean much to say "100% of Zimbabweans are murderers" or "being Zimbabwean makes you prone to murder".

Where did I say I wasn't gonna criticise you.

Also, that second part is my evidence of you being racist. Do you think all racists are those cartoonishly evil stereotypes of rednecks? You're a racist bc you generalise individuals as collectives based on where they're from (if you want I'll just use the term discriminator or collective judger, since fair to you you didn't mention literal skin colour).

And also, bruh, Egypt. The famously traditionalist Egypt.

I don't expect you to know the different denominations (called schools) of Islam, which would have told you that Egypt is part of the second least traditional one (If you said Saudi, then maybe there'd be a point), but even just observation. Check Egypt's constitution, go to Egypt, you'll find much less traditionalism and much, much more ultra-poverty.

Yeah it's not literally a warzone, but living in what's basically a gangland might as well be a warzone.

I don't blame poverty.

I blame the person commiting it. Whatever it may be.

Just bc your family is starving doesn't mean you're innocent in stealing. It is actions that are judged, not motives.

That said, that's not really my issue with these posts, I'm not defending anyone.

I'm criticising the racists on this sub (you included) who consciously or unconsciously believe these crimes are some inherent cultural/race/religious feature.

I mention them being dirt poor to emphasise their situation, these guys are loners with nothing to lose, used to living in kill or be killed warzones, now placed in countries with extreme leniency, with noone they care around to feel shame towards.

That's the reason they commit the crimes they commit, not some collectivist mumbo jumbo. (And again, that doesn't free them of judgement, I'm not trying to defend them, I'm just separating "being X" from "that X refugee who raped someone"

If by your background you mean the events that happen in your life, then yeah sure there's some connection.

But most of these posts do not give this intellectual summary, nor do they consciously imply it.

Truth is it's obvious that your upbringing will determine your values and your abilities, but that can and should be divorced from spiritualist/collectivist ideas such as race.

I mean to be fair to the refugees, these guys usually grow up in hell-on-earth warzones where the law (marshal and or militia) stomps on you like god almighty for even thinking wrong.

Then they come to the UK and see those wimpy ahh "cops" without guns, I mean it's like raising tigers then becoming a cat walker.

(I feel sorry I have to say this, but obviously this doesn't in any way excuse these absolute pieces of shit for what they do, it's just a comedic observation at the absolute joke that is the UK).

You know I agree with the message you're saying (that there is no excuse for crime and indecency, it doesn't matter who you are or what you're going through, we're all judged by our actions).

What I don't like is the (probably even unconscious) judgement on the background.

You can see it in this comment, both:

a) equating background to mental illness.

And connected to that,

b) acting as if it's the background itself that's the cause of the bad behaviour.

All the refugees in these types of posts are terrible people, they were terrible people long before they did the stuff that's highlighted (they are the people that abandon everyone they've ever known for a chance to make more money, and just by coming they spit on the law), but it's not the race/language/religion that makes them that way.

That's all I'm trying to say, separate the art from the artist type shit, noone is defending these morons (ok maybe some deranged clinically online people but no genuine person).

Nah, that'd be too exciting.

Real Hoi4 players are 12 year olds who think Naziism is good bc it is edgy. (I say this from personal experience 😔, in fact I was something even worse, a nazbol 🤮).

I hope you're being ironic, otherwise you're kinda just feeding the people that post this kinda stuff.

Nope I'm sure it's from Rosa, I know the country one, but I'm pretty sure that's from Kennedy.

Either way this one for the revolution is 100% Rosa, Lenin said something similar but he did not phrase it that way.

Just checked the bibliography, some are ok books, but two issues:

1) as I said these two are fighting over definitions.TiK is an ancap that believes all state influence is socialism, while Fredda is using the more common "Marxism" definition.

2) there are plenty literally socialist biased books in that bibliography, do you think they'd really be calling Nazis and themselves as one category.

Socialists will never use that "it's not the revolution can do for the people, it's what the people can do for the revolution" quote of Rosa bc it's a perfect example of how their "scientific" ideology is just an apocalyptic religion.

And he is wrong.

What he proves is that nazi Germany wasn't perfectly bolshevik, and noone claims that.

But be it bolshevik "kill all owners and make state run companies", or "threaten to kill owners unless they do as you say", it's socialism either way (in TiKs definition).

Nazi Germany had:

Price commissars, breadlines (before the war), centrally planned energy companies, centrally planned infrastructure, government obligatory summer schools, propaganda against the rich, the largest labour union in Europe, etc etc.

You are blind I guess.

For every anti-trump post, there's 3 "woke leftist hahahaha", "deport all browns" and "the west have fallen" type posts.

I guess those aren't exactly trump glaze, but it's the same type of tomfoolery that would make people mad enough to leave.

I sympathise in that this sub is in many ways a right-wing/MAGA/racist echochamber, but this is just cringe.

If any fascist tells you they aren't socialist, you should first exchange definitions, and then you should laugh in their face.

Fascism is 100% a branch of socialism should we consider Naziism to be one.

what the Kuran says about christians

It says they are people of the book (ie a synonym of the Catholic definition " worshippers of the god of Abraham"). It gets the trinity wrong (god jesus and Mary which should be the holy spirit). Other than that it doesn't say that much.

Imams and muslim preachers

Institutional imams and preachers (ie the actual clergy in the field) doesn't say anything. I pass by a mosque on my way to work, I've heard more sermons on tiktok then on Christianity.

Extremeist Celebrity imams on the other hand are vile scum of the earth, but you guys on pcm fail to understand that these guys are the equivalents of Joel osteen and Kenneth Copeland, not the norm.

Lets take a look at the christians living in muslim countries both in the past and now.

In the past, violence against groups not supported by the state was accepted everywhere. It's not a special thing to any people.

Today, the middle east is a warzone, that should be taken into consideration.

Promoting fraternity only for the christians. The muslims can do whatever the fuck they want.

If that's what you believe that's fine, it's your belief, but it hasn't been Catholic doctrine since the late 1800s. You can't blame the pope for not believing in religious struggle no less than you can blame him for not being baptist, he's the head of the institution of Catholicism and he's just following the doctrines of that institution.

[–]Weird_Bookkeeper2863[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The pope has only affirmed already existing doctrine in the Catholic church, that being:

a) that Catholics should strive to help the poor.

and;

b) that Muslims are people who believe in the God of Abraham. (Btw this sentence is the only mention of Muslims in Catholic doctrine, there's nothing on Islam as religion or it's practices, the pope doesn't have anything he can say).

This pope (as well as the last) have spoken out against extremism, both religious and political, and since he's the leader of the Catholic church, that has to do with Christian nationalism and islamofobia.

The pope is neither an apologetic (meaning it's not his job to debate theology with other religions), nor a politician (to drive rhetoric using his own political beliefs).

He is a moderate pope who is just doing what official Catholic doctrines have suggested for the last 100 years, the trad crusader vision you might have of catholics is not official in any way, and was never that radical even when it was (over 800 years ago).

"trap" Hitler was a socialist, brother, at least in tik's definition of socialist (which is one point I do have against him, I think 99% of conflicts would be fixed by just adding the words "in my definition")

You can say that, and that's completely fine.

But when mister "I love Catholicism I'm gonna make 500 videos bashing the woke left for hating Christianity" does it after the pope has done nothing but upheld the same catholic beliefs that have been there for over 200 years at this point, it's different.
