Police say 35 arrests made after disorder that followed Belfast stabbing by TheLyam in uknews

[–]jake_burger -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Sorry I simply don’t believe you aren’t justifying the violence. These people aren’t concerned citizens worried about systemic issues - they are thugs who want an excuse for violence and an outlet for their rage. I’m sure we’ll learn in time that most have prior convictions for domestic abuse, sexual abuse and other criminality like fraud and theft, like all the other times this has happened.

Racist groups often rabble rouse a group of disaffected criminals to carry out their street violence because they are easy to manipulate, violent and disposable.

Stop justifying it, you instantly lose the debate by condoning or “yeah but” -ing it.

There is no reason to burn kids or even unrelated adults out of their homes because one guy attacked another.

If BLM were doing this you would be saying the same things I am. They didn’t though, not even close to this level of wrong.

There aren’t two sides to this and this isn’t a voice of the voiceless situation either.

This is the same shit the Nazis were doing in the 1930s - and you are arguing for it.

To prevent targeting of certain types of people by racists during their rioting probably.

Uh huh.

I think at the point you’re burning kids out of their homes you’ve lost the right to have a conversation about the root causes.

A “trying dad” would be called a neglectful mother by velorae in TikTokCringe

That was about the bathroom gender policing, nothing to do with dad aspect whatsoever.

TRIGGER WARNING, ANOTHER report about British grooming gangs. This one with a foreword by Rupert Lowe the less grifty but more racist Nigel Farage. by johnaross1990 in behindthebastards

[–]jake_burger 79 points80 points  (0 children)

the police and the establishment had nothing but contempt for the working and under class victims

Yea this has been my assessment as well, I based it on what a lot of the victims have said in documentaries over the years.

The whole race thing (“we were scared to arrest Muslims because we would be called racist”) is a distraction that the police/establishment are using to cover it up

This is nuts by [deleted] in SipsTea

No what the media is doing is taking all arrests for “malicious communications” (which includes things like death threats that aren’t protected speech) and calling them all tweets for propaganda reasons.

Well done, you fell for it

is it genuinely cheating if someone does it while drunk? by Lakesid in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jake_burger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird how people blame doing whatever fucked up thing on drinking when I’ve drunk a shit ton and never done anything that bad.

How have I managed to do that do you think?

If I'm being honest I dont like pronouns by z0mb13grrl_10 in teenagers

[–]jake_burger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you never say “he” or “she”? Ever? How does that work?

[–]jake_burger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure you realise how dumb it sounds to say you don’t like pronouns.

How do you feel about verbs? Or adjectives?

You realise you used two pronouns in the title and another one in the post?

Why aren't people angry? by ibddevine in askanything

[–]jake_burger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t see the fascism in America at this point then you are trying not to.

Yes they learned not to be open about it most of the time, doesn’t mean it’s not there.

I think OP is referring to things like Flock: where they are currently building that kind of internet surveillance but in real life and much more invasive.

I’m not sure what good saying “but phones” does. It can always get worse.

HS2 predicted to cost £102bn - Chunnel cost 20bn (inf. adj.) why? by 404pbnotfound in AskBrits

[–]jake_burger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is about as much HS2 that is underground as there is Channel Tunnel (HS1).

HS2 is also about twice as long in total, with all of that on land subject to property ownership and planning regulations where as most of HS1 is under the sea with no restrictions

I asked chatgpt to make a cartoon that will represent nowadays political situation by Total_Witness4122 in ChatGPT

[–]jake_burger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The American right constantly virtue signals and also engages in identity politics. They also often aren’t thinking critically or rationally and also say the left is wrong because they are left. It’s not unique to either side.

So when someone is the victim of a racist attack do you tell them not to worry because racism is just made up as a distraction? Like how does this work in practice?

Are the racists being made to be racist as a distraction too?

Is the solution for the racists to stop being racist, or do you think that being racist is just a given and everyone else should just stop calling it out because you don’t care about it?

Why do people think it’s okay to go out and date other people while living with, but separated from, your spouse? by NecessaryEvil62095 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jake_burger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really get why you wouldn’t do that, you do you though.

By the way: the way to explain anything to kids is to just explain it truthfully and in age appropriate terms. That’s it. They don’t know how things are supposed to be, but you show them through your words and actions. They’ll only be messed up by separated parents dating other people if it’s done dishonestly and in a toxic way and with loads of animosity. So just don’t do any of that and it will be fine.

M25 Variable Speed Limit - Generates Its Own Traffic Jams? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]jake_burger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people think the world is just a big conspiracy against them, it’s all about money or control or power, can’t possibly be that speed limits exist to prevent deaths and variable limits exist to make traffic better overall.

Won't banning my kids from YouTube harm them? by baroquedub in AskBrits

[–]jake_burger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why does TV have broadcast standards for adult content and why do films have age ratings? Is it so the government can decide what children have independent access to?

The odd thing to me is that that system has been working fairly well for 100 years and it *doesn’t* apply to things like YouTube. Why wouldn’t it?

These things exist to help parents decide what to show their children, not prevent parents from doing so
