lol Are you unable to imagine a hypothetical scenario?? Whenever a foreigner does something bad, OdinHades, you and the other leftists are immediately there starting to explain away the terrorist and downplaying the importance, but whenever it's a right winger doing something nasty (like the alleged racist attacks in the US after Trump's election), you are there to condemn and to generalize about the whole right wing movement and demanding measures. |
No we don't. Only centre-right liberals who fancy themselves as leftists for some goddamn reason without ever decently reflecting on society think that. I wasn't surprised Trump got elected, I don't think everyone who voted for him is a racist.
Was there an increase in racist offenses in the US after Trump's election? Yes, because the real white nationalists veel vindicated. But that's only a small minority within the electorated that voted Trump.
We are all dead serious about terrorism. But how am I downplaying anything? These people will be punished as is the law, people who aren't involved won't. I don't overgenralize and I demand people do the same, is that too much to ask?
