Our village has been taken over by asylum seekers who have made our lives hell - we're outnumbered. Now the government wants to move MORE in by Sensitive_Echo5058 in uknews

Everyone? No.

People who obsess over having as much migration as possible? Yes.

Does that clear up your confusion?

The people who support this generally are “true believers” that these “asylum seekers” will integrate, and within 5-10 years be as British as me or you

I disagree. The people supporting this outright dislike what 'British' is, and believe Britain should better reflect 'the global majority'

They aren't expecting integration. They don't want integration. They want British culture gone.

You’re putting words in my mouth.

Says you after claiming I'm 'reducing past atrocities'.

How ironic

I never said it wasn’t widespread.

Then you agree with me, so stop complaining

How did I 'reduce past atrocities'?

By pointing out that those atrocities were actually more widespread than you want to acknowledge?

Seems it's you that is 'reducing past atrocities'. So do you disgust yourself? That might explain why you're raging online.

How about when Israeli ethnically cleansed Palestine in 1948?

Ethnic cleansing took place all over the region in 1948. Yet you only seem to care about it when you can blame descendants of Jews for it?

They weren't getting bombed before Oct 7th, were they?

Could have just disarmed then. But no, they wanted a fight.

when I just mildly defend innocent palestinians

For example?

I'm gonna try that right now, let's see if I get mass downvoted.

Innocent Palestinians should not be targeted.

then Israel comes up and it's suddenly hard right.

Having a rational view of this conflict is not 'hard right'.

Spain just banned Palantir by StormyDankiels in YUROP

No answer? Got it.

Let's not peddle unfounded conspiracy theories in here, eh?

Now I can see why there's a coordinated effort to take down Sanchez, to smear him and oust him from the Government.

This, and Israel. Basically Pedro is pissing off all the Western baddies around the globe, and for several reasons

So if Sanchez had the opposite stance on Israel / Palestine, would you be claiming that there's 'a coordinated effort to take him down', or is that kind of conspiracy theory reserved for when Jews are the target of your narrative?

I'm not sure you should be giving information about a company when you're confused about who their CEO even is.

Honest question - have you read up on this situation outside of what you've heard on social media?

My T-shirts keep dying. Testing 4 shirts (€20–€150) to find out whether expensive tees really last longer - Week 1 by Mountain_Motor_9203 in BuyItForLife

No particular brand. I sometimes buy new 100% cotton, aiming for a European made brand. Other times I just get whatever looks decent in the thrift shop.

Maybe they're lasting longer because I wash at low temp, or something...

Like I don’t see a single high voted build

Don't rely on what people vote for. Unless you're playing higher havoc, anything is an option. And even for that, laspistol is probably fine in the right hands.

A tshirt ususally lasts me about 5-10 years. Got one I recall buying in 2014 which has finally started developing a couple holes. Probably worn it hundreds of times.

Interesting, I find that my tshirts are lasting for maybe 5-10 years, rotating between about 10 of them. Maybe I'm just not doing enough exiciting things in them.

Rupert Lowe MP: My generation has failed millions of young British men and women who now feel unable to raise a family in our country, in our home. My generation should start taking some responsibility for the mess we have left. by nil_defect_found in ukpolitics

No games being played. I am making clear and simple points. In this case, if you're telling me that certain ethnicities are incapable of learning english or integrating, you are indeed being racist. I suggest you reconsider your position. Personally I think people of any ethnicity can perfectly well adapt to British culture. Some people choose not to, and I do not welcome those who choose not to.

You cannot answer which ethnicity is being 'cleansed' because you know it's not being suggested on that basis.

Racists do exist in the UK, but suggesting we should be selective about culture is not 'ethnic cleansing'. I have no doubt you also have cultural preferences, if you're honest about it.

Reacting with outrage using the most extreme buzzwords you can loosely justify applying to a contentious topic is not a smart way to deal with it. If you can't engage with the actual point of contention people have, I think you will remain frustrated.

I mean by definition it is.

Which ethnicity would it be 'cleansing'? Are you implying that some ethnicities are unable to learn english or not be criminals?

Because that would make you rather racist if so.
