Yeah. Have all the hate you want for it. When you realize that shit you had to go through as a kid, nobody else will ever have to experience… You’ll be the same.

What kind of moron goes through life thinking “Every generation after mine is going to go through the exact same experiences as me!” - what made you think that? What sort of pompous, self-important shithead of a kid were you?

“The future will be just like today”

Were you dropped on your head or something?

Use strings for everything and use a single universal method to convert some to floats only when you absolutely have to.

I think he’s in Trump’s cabinet.

GenX have higher amounts of brain damage from lead poisoning, and earlier this year Trump saw a spike in support from GenX:

Like muscle memory, just built into the fabric of the history and culture.

I refuse to even let my phone have my payment info.

Don’t follow the advice of gray turd man.

Okay, so Mario eating a Mushroom and scrolling… And his friend Yoshi (an animal) telling him his social media feed is only interesting because the mushroom is drugs.

…the title can be “It’s not the Algorithm”.

A TV show where vampires are real, so the cops are all scared, but the public doesn’t know. The cops keep shooting people dead thinking they’re vampires (so to the viewer the force seems justified).

During the final few episodes, it becomes more obvious that the vampires were never real. They were just gossip.

One season long.

Show title: Harvest Season.

That the letter writing is a form of elite leftist denialism of the issues.

That it’s essentially covering over that there are issues to be discussed here, in favour of going after “the right” and trying to scold ones enemies rather than actually look into the issues (which I’m claiming are cultural and economic).

You know, sometimes it’s better to conceed than it is to alienate and deny.

Yes, what’s more sex crimes tend to be “crimes of opportunity” - or to frame that idea differently - “crimes of circumstance”… And those circumstances tend to be created by a lack of money, lack of education, and an abdication of responsibility from those in charge.

I don’t get people pretending that’s not still rape. These things are still applicable, the UK isn’t a special exception.

Oh please, you’re the one claiming it’s prejudice to call out wealthy leftists for being so far removed from the situation that they don’t even know rapes are happening in these communities.

Your defense of ivory towers of wealth, lifestyle disconnection and intellectual privilege is far more fascist aligned than anything I’ve said.

Hence your whole “anyone who disagrees with me must be MAGA” stance here…

…and again, it’s an discourse where studies show that negative reinforcement is far less effective than positive reinforcement. Your line of thinking on these issues actually contributes to the polarisation and prolonging of them (so is pro-rape). As was your original denying there was any issue (saying it was just prejudice).

You just keep pushing bad answers… And I keep having to explain to you what the actual studies say (be they how negative discourse creates polarisation, or the very fact that rapes are happening).

You need to learn political nuance. Get off tiktok or whatever’s got you so ideological boxed in.

But yeah, I’m done with you, and your reactionary polarisations. I hate you and we’re on the “same side” - I can’t imagine you’re doing anything out there worthwhile. I just hope people like you can educate yourselves so I don’t have to. Good luck.

Very progressive of that cop to wear a wrap to work. I approve.

I don’t think you being reactionary to a far-right whose not present here, or the letter writers trying to preach to the far-right from a “corrective left” perspective of professionals in the top end of town works.

It’s hot air. The far-right aren’t going to read the edicts past down from on high and see the error of their ways. It’s a totally pipe dream leftism that assumes “being a scold” does anything but push people right.

I mean take yourself - you couldn’t even handle my original comment pointing that out. Look at all the time we’ve wasted here just because you had an “I’ve detected prejudice” error.

This is just all the stuff the left gets wrong, that feeds into the far-right populism. We need an alternative ti being scolds.

You’ve just thrown RACE into the conversation here, I said it was cultural and socioeconomic.

How are studies tribalism? Also I’m a leftist, I’m just also aware there are out of touch leftwing elites (writing denialist letters in this case).

Your studies demonstrate the fact that immigrants are much more likely to be the VICTIMS of sexual violence than native born people

No one said otherwise! Sorry, what’s your argument? That it doesn’t count as rape if immigrant men rape immigrant women? That’s disgusting dude.

No asshole, of course that still counts as rape. Of course that’s part of the higher amounts of SA and SV in those communities. I don’t know why you needed to be shown studies to admit that.

Of course leftist elites aren’t going to recognize that, and are going to try to pretend it’s not true - like you were doing.

I take it you’re no longer claiming it’s “just prejudice” to point this stuff out? That you see a problem with not addressing increased rape stats now - and that not addressing and contextualizing gives the far right something to gripe about?

At least admit that much. I’m so sick of leftwingers denying problems. It’s a politics of willful blindness and denialism sometimes. Easy to do for professionals at the top end of town.

You claimed it was a matter of prejudice.

I presented studies.

Now you’re playing rehortorical games rather than responding with an argument.

Society only overcomes issues by processing them, don’t shirk your part in that process.

you literally just supported my point.

Yes, I’m agreeing with you.

So you believe the world is a monoculture? That the entire world shares the same views of sex and gender relations, the same crime statistics everywhere, the same milquetoast liberal mindsets are held across all lands…

…and saying otherwise is “prejudice”.

Or basically you think the studies are wrong, and that the “behavioural barriers” mentioned in those studies are just a product of Westerns judging the crimes too harshly:

All issues are class issues, and they only become subject to rightwing populism when ruling leftist elites CHOOSE to disconnect from working class realities in favour of elitism and denial.

Your prejudice is the erasure of all cultural and economic differences. That’s the prejudice you’re practicing.

A recent report states ALL Thai foreign workers in Israel have been sexually assaulted:

Elite leftists who want to disconnect themselves from the complex issues and incompatibilities of cultural exchange are just fueling the problem, and allowing right wing populists to make points.

Fact is that different regions have different gender relations, and different problems because of that, and we need to understand that.
