I love how people complained about this episode being racist, because most of the slaves are brown. They put out a casting call for extras in Tunisia, who'd people think were gonna show up?
Yeah, canonically the people of Slaver's Bay are dark skinned, so this makes sense in the story, too. There are white slaves in the ASOIAF universe as well, in the free cities, especially Lys. However, Daenerys is not in Lys, she is in Slaver's Bay, where the people aren't white.
Reminds me of the **** about Resident Evil 5 - a game that takes place in africa and is about shooting zombies. Can you guess what the complaint was? Yup, people complained about the fact that there were too many black zombies in ************* Africa.
I remember that. There was actually a far greater than realistic number of white zombies, anyway, and they replaced Jill with Sheva just to try and discredit racism allegations. I know a ton of people don't like RE:5, because it's not that scary, but it was fun as hell IMO. Way better than 6, which I fortunately didn't buy.
I seemed to remember it wasn't so much that so much as later parts of the game where the zombies started being more stereotypical caricatures of tribal africans and Sheva was kinda joked about for being a "not too brown" (wasn't she like half white or something) attempt to dodge being called racist
Tfw europe successfully fought off the islamic invasion for centuries but Merkel suddenly letting them in now for being in danger from some other muslims what never really changed since a millenium, but **** it
Yes, we all hate the dirty *********** . But has anyone thought about how Germany came to power in todays times ?
I'm not saying its a good thing, its terrible. But the last time Germany took in people from the east, after two generations, they rose to power economically. Maybe this has a part in the whole thing, maybe its just about genetic richness or something ?
Germany took them in because of a deal between turkey and the US.
US allowed to build bases and stations nukes in turkey, while turkey sents their uneducated, unemployed and kurdish trash to germanys social system.
Incorrect regarding the nukes. Those had to be pulled out of Turkey at the tail end of the Cuban Missile Crisis as the Soviets' condition for removing nukes from Cuba (the US stationing nukes in Turkey was the primary reason the Soviets ever bothered to station nuclear weapons in Cuba in the first place).
germany needs very,very cheap workers without any qualification. their pay must be so low that the germay social system must pay extra on the wages. while the company who employs these modern slaves gains the profits, the common german citizen pays for everything.
What if the world is preparing to something and they will need all the cheap labor force ?
Don't think about skynet and robot apocalypse here of course, I'm talking about the next two generations: When climate change hits mankind and **** gets scary. Maybe the experts give it 200 percent that it will break all the global markets soon. I don't know, we will live and see.
It's not. If we put contentions about global warming aside and make the assumption that it is happening for whatever reason, there are still issues with what you've asserted.
The first and foremost being that a change to the climate won't just "hit" us. It's supposed to be something that happens gradually over time. In other words, we'd have plenty of time to adjust. For example, iirc the warming trend for the last 100 or so years has been under 1 degree Celsius.
In your lifetime you'll never see any real effects from global warming let alone seeing it cause a total market collapse. And in saying this I'm not even considering how most of the warming models made a decade ago or so have been shown to have significantly overestimated warming trends.
Also consider that a slightly warmer climate and more CO2 content does not imply only bad effects as many make it seem. For example, many plants and crops would thrive under such conditions.
Anyway, the notion that you'll see Europe become desert like in your life time, or even within two or three lifetimes is just silly.
Or even more possibly the male population of germany is getting so effeminate, and the female population so independent, that the refugees aren't being brought in to fill jobs, but fill maternity wards.
You see when the land becomes desert like, it will be so much better for the muslims there. They will even call their relatives and friends to stay and build mosques. The whole climate change thing is for this. To go into dates and sand exports businesses in Europe.
jk, I dunno, like I said its like a conspiracy. Maybe its a precaution to have the cheaper labor force, maybe getting precautions is all we can hope to do before the storm.... Rich people always tend to be afraid to lose anything at all.
Its to undermine and destroy the welfare state you absolute idiot. This multiculty euphoria was created by the right wing to suck out the welfare state, creating another US and A. But you morons are too busy being offended by black people and completely falling into the rich peoples trap who only care about tax cuts.
It's the opposite. Merkel and Co intend to bolster the welfare state. They need more workers to pay into it as the birthrates of many European counties are well below replacement levels.
The right wouldn't tolerate the threat to their own culture to attempt a collapse of the welfare state. They're the ones protesting against the whole situation.
It's still about workers too. With a large welfare state you need a lot of workers producing to support those who are receiving benefits. Germany's birthrate is below the replacement rate and this would mean that eventually there are more and more people on benefits and less working to pay for it. Their economy will shrink and the welfare system will become unsustainable.
Merkel thinks that this can be solved by importing immigrants/refugees to fill the gaps. The whole "muh racism" thing allows her and other proponents to ignore the adverse cultural effects.
yes, germany was built up again by the germans not the "Gastarbeiter".
Most of them arrived in the 70s, while the "Wirtschaftswunder" / economy boom happened in the 50s to mid 60s. And the offspring from those people are less integrated than their parents generation.
Stop acting as though foreign "refugees" build up Germany, for this is wrong.
``There was a feeling amongst Germans that "hey have taken our jobs", but this situation only arose because of Germans themselves losing their jobs in industry and manufacturing in particular in the difficult economic situation post 1973.``
you help a few million immigrants and refugees over a few years.
meanwhile some 10, 15 million more are born in those countries at the same time.
how many refugees do you end up taking, and for how long?
the whole "let's take everyone in" system is broken at it's core. the only way to help these people is to help them where they are. in their countries.
not one country in the world has the required infrastructure or money to take in a million people per year, indefinitely.
if anything, the constant influx of foreigners only promotes xenophobia and intoolerance in the long run.
Just because they are poor, doesn't mean they deserve instant pity and are merely "less fortunate". If fortune was the only thing that mattered, then upon moving to Europe those people would work, act properly, and not cause a huge mess wherever they go, including riots, rapes and beating up people because **** you.
You give a local homeless man a chance to work, he will do it immediately and thank you for the rest of his live that you got him out of poverty. THAT is a less fortunate person whom we can help. If you give a middle-eastern immigrant a chance to work, he will live off your taxes instead, leeching off the people who took him in and gave him a chance. There's no fortune involved in here - there's only being a failure of a human being.
It is not less fortunate that they are savage and underdeveloped. They do this to themselves, no one forbids them going to work, trating other humans with respect, and making the world a better place. And yet they voluntarily make it a worse place instead, non ******* stop.
If you call being against the above **** going on "primitive and fascist" then you need a serious slap to the face from reality, because the real world is not what you and your comfort zone are limited to.
reality outside of the racist's mind is much different from harmful generalisations and racist stereotypes
most of them arent rioting, raping, or beating people up, yet right wing propaganda has convinced the stupid that this is a problem which exists among all middle eastern immigrants. another example of this kind of mentality can be seen in the assumption about homeless people always being hard working and thankful, when poor people even within those countries are leeching off tax payer's money.
the primitive and fascist mindset is not programmed into them from birth, but is spread among themselves from older primitive and fascist members of their groups.
If they are so great, why are all their countries so **** ? Man, you can't win this argument, don't struggle, it only makes it more painful. Some of more sane middle-eastern men say it themselves - people there are lazy and demanding, end of story. Saudi Arabia does the simple thing - if you don't work for a year, get the **** out of the country, you lose your citienship and can't come back. That's how harsh the law has to be to make these ******* work.
And where do these people come? Where do come all the people who were so lazy, they let themselves be kicked out of home country and chose losing everything they grew up with for the sake of getting easy living off income support elsewhere? Yup. To Europe.
My friend, who is an awsome Muslim by the way, said it himself - he has SIX brothers, his father sits on his ass all day, while his mother, who is actually the only woman in her family and the only person who isn't arabian, is working her ass off at a drug store to provide. He's the only one that moved out and is actively doing something with his life. One out of eight men. I bet he said it because he's secretly a fascist, not because it's the true state of things, right? Right?
There's some credit to your arguments, but you're ignoring a myriad of reasons why poor countries are like that.
Lack of presence from the State (with some enabling or even actively engaging in human rights violations), crappy wages (below US$400/month, with living expenses EQUAL TO OR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN EUROPE'S) ****** educational policies devoid of teaching (you can't reject anyone, whether they be addicts or violent; everyone passes, no matter how dumb; being barely able to read is ok).
There's also lack of infrastructure, scarcity of basic resources like water and electricity, and medical care, and fraudulent mechanisms (e.g. meager handouts, the deceased voting, poor people having their ID confiscated until they vote a certain candidate) in place to ensure the same assholes win period after period. And it's not like more often than not ALL parties suck and very likely have ties to some arms or drug-trafficking cartels.
Tell me, if your father is in jail for murder, your mother is a drunkard crack addict/dealer, and you have to take care of your other 7 siblings how the **** do you expect that to end on a good note?
Oh, and while we're at it, did you know that in some countries parents send their children equipped with firearms to mug because minors can't be held in jail for more than a couple of days, even if it ends up in murder?
ive seen videos of people attending neo nazi marches claiming to have jewish and turkish friends. ive seen people who hold strong racist views about black people claiming to have black friends aswell.
now we have someone who clearly believes in his racist generalisations and stereotypes, claiming to have an "awesome muslim" friend who not only exists, but also agrees with him.
closet racists are like cornered rats. they will do everything in their power to convince you that they arent racist, even if it means claiming that they are friends with people they are being racist towards.
If you think about it, EVERYONE'S at least a little racist. That's the only reason that culture still exists today: because of people holding on to their own culture instead of integrating it with everybody else's.
My country has almost no black people, but the ones we have, everyone is nice to them. The muslims on the other side, we all hate them. Mark my words, in the next ten years there will be mass killing od Muslims in Serbia. We are sick and tired of their **** .
No, but I said it will happen.
Everyone hates them, they say they are not Serbs and some of them have Turkey flags, which we hate and burn them when we have a chance. They are dissrespectfull to us.
but if serbs start exterminating other people, they will be invaded by other countries and will no longer be the same serbia. the genocidal maniacs will be hung or sent to prison.
All taking in refugees does is allow Europeans to feel good about themselves. It does not solve the problem.
Unless of course, the European countries decide to and can actually afford to take in tens of millions of refugees. Otherwise they're not even going to outpace the birth rate.
Yup, they could take in a few hundred thousand refugees every year for 1000 years and people would still be suffering from the conflicts in these countries.
So while the Europeans are patting themselves on the back for taking in a few hundred thousand refugees, the rest aren't being helped.
They've ignored the real problem just so they can feel good about themselves.
Bigest lie on this site ''Location:England'' You're swedish. More swedish than swedish people. You're more swedish than the swedish ''Expert'' that went to some dannish TV thing. You're the ultimate swede. You're a 12yearold edgy swedish kid that wants to ''smash the system!'' You're more swedish than the swedish people spamming out ''FREE PALISTINE'' Flyers everyware. You will be our king. You are now the king of sweden. I welcome you as our new king. ALL HEIL KING MASTERBOLL! Exept that you can't say ''heil'' That's racist!
Well, sitting on your fat ass *********** about national socialism wont get you anywhere. Seriously, if white people are so superoir, than why are our countries overrun by brown people? I've litterally not seen a white guy having balls and stand up for himself outside the internet. Because ''hurr durr i dont want to loose my job'' or ''my mom would call me a racist''.
Take /pol/ for example, its popular for a reason and that reason is that it is anounumous aka you dont have to stand up for your arguments.
You stormwieners should be called stormvirgins instead amirite?
You've never seen it so it doesn't happen ? Is that the best you can do ? I'm no storm fag but that not really much consider the uk ukip bnp eld(non policatl ) have been call ou th crap pretty sure ever country in the ey has group call this crap out publicly were your evdeince of whites not call this crap out ?
Actually those things are allover the news and the Cologne-Attacks are blamed on "arabian or colored folks with immigration background" by pretty much everybody, we´re just not dumb enough to think that those subhumans mean that EVERY immigrant is a criminal.
99% of these posts are made by non-germans who have probably never talked, or never met a single refugee
you're actively hating on people from a group that you'll probably never cross in the street, or ever talk to
this is pathetic
can't believe people would hate a group that only went out and sexually assaulted women in a massive swarm. They are probably wonderful human beings once you get to know them
Terrible stuff that happened in Cologne, and I see that the government moved to change the laws so that all migrants who commit a crime will be deported. How that is not already a thing is beyong me, but hey...
And also, I feel like this immigrant thing is a bit exaggerated. People act like Europe is half immigrants now, when in reality 1.2 million immigrants have arrived in Europe and there is like 500 million people in the EU.
Most of the Migrants are young while most the the western worlds population is old. When the boomers start dying there is going to be a very radicle shift in the whole of Europe. 5-10 percent is going to become 30-50 percent of the population in a decade or two. If you cant see this you are willfully ignorant of the situation.
I'm no person to talk about politics, but I feel like it might be comparable to the "feminist problem." There's actually not THAT many crazy nazi-tier feminists, but because the 30/200 are so.. ******* .. loud.. it seems unbearably over-run.
Feminism is hardly a problem. In no major western country do they have any significant power Sweden is the only country I know that actually has a feminist party with representation. They have like 5% of the popular vote . They are annoying, but apart from on the internet, you hardly notice them. I've never seen delusional feminists, like you see on the internet, in real life - and I even attend a college where 65% are female, most of my classmates are politically active - and none of them are like that.
They may not hold POLITICAL power, but they practically have a stranglehold on the popular media and on higher education here in the US, which is a perfect springboard to acquiring greater power. That's how they gained the kind of power that they did in Sweden, after all.
>feminism hardly a problem
>women are unhappier than they've been since ever before
>rape being redefined to only apply to women
>women actively winning most custody battles
>women serving shorter sentences for similar crimes with a similar criminal history
>women have the only rape victims/ spousal abuse centers and men have none, maybe just a few in the single digits across the entire country
ok, if you want to pretend like Muslims won't affect the entire population, that's fine, but the rest of us with common sense will know otherwise. You don't need to be a majority in order to create significant influence.
When you consider most of those immigrants are concentrated into the major cities instead of distributed around the country, it's a huge problem.
White people are moving out of London and women are scared to go outside, especially in the evenings. It's not exaggerated by that much tbh.
The deporting thing is just so the government looks good, I suspect none of them will actually be deported.
