2020-07-13 at 7:04 AM UTC in The internet has become very gayGiven a choice, who would choose to be a nonce?
Meanwhile gays have lots of fun, with their own cruises, hotels, bars, and lots and lots of sex. -

Originally posted by rabbitweed I'm so over western civilization. Anyone can see it's shambling around, spouting nonsense. Cultural dementia.
I'm heading to a civilized spot in the pacific - Singapore, Taiwan, Japan - until this all blows over.
Europe is still pretty civilised, at least in the non-English speaking parts. -

Originally posted by rabbitweed How can we blame white people for this?
Think media, think.
Unconscious bias. Subliminal colonial attitudes.
Set up a Kafka Trap for them, like the one in "White Fragility". If they respond, they are whitesplaining and racist and evil, if they don't respond they are privileged and racist and evil.
If they are upset they are weak, fragile, racist and evil, if they aren't upset they are arrogant, ignorant, racist and evil. -
2020-07-13 at 5:34 AM UTC in Byzantine Cathedral Hagia Sophia to be converted into a Mosque again.I wonder if destroying a church that has been converted into a mosque is a hate crime or not.
On one hand it's a mosque, but on the other it's also a church, and therefore a symbol of oppression. -

Originally posted by aldra I don't think he cared all that much about it as a religion, he just wanted it excised from government - since then the military had been used to balance the power of Islamists in government, up until Erdogan purged the fuck out of it
He wanted to build a modern state along Western lines, and Islam was/is an impediment to that - it tends to be quite reactionary in terms of world view. -

Ataturk turned it from a Mosque into a museum to try to encourage civic unity and weaken Islam's hold on Turkey. It's totally unnecessary to have the Hagia Sophia as a mosque anyway, as it's right beside the Blue Mosque. The only reason this is being done is as an insult to Christians, Greeks especially. -

Originally posted by rabbitweed It's now mainstream in Ireland to describe this as a 'genocide'. From de British of course, not you know their own daylight criminal landlords (which are still a huge problem in Dublin in 2020).
The Irish are such victims, it makes me sick. Especially if you consider the huge parts of the British empire that were at one time or another governed by Irishmen.
The real question is why Brits, Germans, French, etc never claim victimhood. They never had that easy a time, for instance in parts of the 19th Century 3/4 kids born in Berlin died of malnutrition. Working class Brits ate so poorly that after WW1 started conscripts gained weight after being drafted, as they were finally fed properly. World War I was just a genocide against the working classes, and World War II was deliberately made awful for civilians.
The most privileged group of people ever to exist never stop acting like victims, making up all sorts of stories just to see what sticks, so it obviously works. And they know being a victim is important, as if you question their victimhood they will use their enormous wealth and power to destroy you utterly.
So why are Europeans allergic to it? -

God forbid that a very old building, with very old utilities, might catch fire.
Soi’s special spin😁
I suppose the statue of the Patron Saint of California just fell over too?

They came from across the region to survey the destruction after a fire that ripped through the church of the 249-year-old mission, one of California’s most historic landmarks, sacred ground for the Catholic faithful but also a symbol of a system that enslaved and terrorized indigenous peoples.

Hundreds of parishioners from the San Gabriel Mission Roman Catholic community gathered all day in the parking lot to cry, grieve, pray, reminisce and talk about their faith.
The media seems happy the church was burned -
