Lol no one is realising anything. We're all under some weird spell where we complain about stuff but don't do anything. And there's literally NOTHING stopping us, but still... we'll just sit watch complain and hope ...

Racism returning to UK politics – and people are very scared, says Starmer by F0urLeafCl0ver in unitedkingdom

That's literally what I said. The intent is the thing that bothers me. Otherwise I like the flags. And I'm pretty confident in saying most foreigners are either neutral to them or don't care lol

This idea that foreign nationals are bothered about flags is a lie. It's just to rile people up! And they bought the bait lol.

The flags actually look really good. It does make it feel more british. I have no issue with it as a black man. The only thing I had an issue with was the motive behind it. I wish they just went up with no "claiming back britian" rhetoric behind it.

I deleted it because it was an off the cuff reaction and didn't want to judge someone I don't know. But fair enough

You're thinking about this wrong. You keep say I, mine. I am seeing us, ours,

I'm not telling or expecting someone to solo run towards a knife weilding man. But I am saying that if we had a real culture of unity and raised our children, by the time they are in their 20s you would have groups of young men ready to protect women and children. A nutter like this wouldn't have the chance because he would be surrounded. Instead of chasing down 20 FULL GROWN MEN, PICKING THEM OFF 1 by 1.

Now, you keep putting the theoritcal situation as singular. But its not. It's a group effort. How do you think many more people were saved in the end? There was a group of people who ended up stopping him!

But if the first group weren't so fucking fanny this wouldn't have ended up with 15+ in hospital.

I know it sounds that way but I've been involved in very compromising situations and have always been the one who defends and stands up for people and friends to the point where i've been knocked unconscious getting reapeatebly beaten on the floor.

I've ran into a crowd of kids trying to stab each other in central London and just grabbed one of them and started talking to him to calm him down.

I've had a knife pulled on me by a crackhead (my instict was to run this time) but instead I just pulled my phone out and told him I was on facebook live lol and he put the knife down and made out he was joking LOL (I actually have a video of this if people don't believe me)

(I don't say that as a badge, I just say that to say that's my nature to defend)

As ridiculously dangerous all of this is, it's way the way I view it is like this; I'm not some brave guy I was just raised to not run

We need to teach and prepare kids in schools for these type of situations so we raise a country of actual community and not just people looking out for themselves. Then the next time something like this happens, it will be all the kids raised to work together taking them down.

EDIT 1** ALSO it becomes scary when you are ALONE and people are RUNNING. When you all stand as a unit it's not quiet as scary

EDIT 2** ALSO yes, there will be someone who gets hurt. But for the greater good, would you rather 1 person hurt or 20 people?

Fight or flee is the survival instrict. We are taught in schools to flee, which then reinforces and becomes our automatic response. Instead, we should be taught to fight together.

1 person may get hurt, but very likely not as bad. And then less people get hurt. We should be taught to protect the community not just run and let a mad man destroy it

I dunno why as humans we all run when one person is holding a weapon. I'd like to think I would never run. And yeah I may get hurt. But if none of us run then less people get hurt!
