That's Lara Logan, right? I remember that. That was horrible. I also remember her coming out elsewhere and saying she'd been told to downplay what happened to her afterward, as well. Too lazy at this time to find sources for that though. LW, husky-dog of the sources-sled, mush!
(Just kidding, I'll find it tomorrow or something).
EDIT: Should say for clarity, she's South African, and also she wasn't reporting on 'this' if by 'this' you mean the Cologne stuff, because obviously that video's from 2013. She was reporting on the Arab Spring, if I recall, and ended up being violently gangraped in the middle of the town square (initial reports were that she was 'just' 'raped with fingers' (I don't know what a polite way of putting that would be, I'm sorry), but what I meant in my comment above is that I believe she came out later and said it was more than this).
Nah I don't mean this as in the German cities, this was during the Arab spring, got imported to Germany
'It’s time for Europe to turn the tables on bullying Britain'. Oh Guardian, what a scamp you are.
GMG LEAVE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MUST PROTECT ENGLISH SPEAKING YUROPS EVERYWHERE, ANNEX ANGEVIN LANDS SOON
Scottish schoolchildren attacked as bus passes through Calais on return from ski trip.
Well tits. Not much else to say to that really.
Unfortunately I don't really have the time anymore to participate in these threads very actively and they seem to blow up quickly anyway these days.
Seems to me that with this refugee crisis we're rapidly approaching a point in Germany where both sides of the argument (which is not a clear left-right divide) are going to be completely unable to talk to each other. This is evident in the media, but way more in social media and "on the street". Differentiated and multifaceted viewpoints are out of fashion. A few years ago we seemed to approach a state of universal political consensus, now society is more divided than it has been in decades. Also doesn't feel like the government really knows what they're doing, they are merely reacting to things and not always in a very thought-out manner.
Yeah but it's not my fault if lefties won't open their gated communities to my cultural enrichment
In all seriousness though it's not a new phenomenon, societies have always stratified in some form or another, geography shaping its people and culture e.t.c. it makes sense that it would also influence politics
I don't think this climate is necessarily going to lead to things blowing up big time, but the country really is changing.
In Sweden, for instance, which like Germany has had an open door, 71 percent of all asylum applicants in 2015 were men. Among the mostly-late-teenage category of “unaccompanied minors,” as Valerie Hudson points out in an important essay for Politico,” the ratios were even more skewed: “11.3 boys for every one girl.”
As Hudson notes, these trends have immediate implications for civil order — young men are, well, young men; societies with skewed sex ratios tend to be unstable; and many of these men carry assumptions about women’s roles that are diametrically opposed to the values of contemporary Europe.
But there’s also a longer term issue, beyond the need to persuade new arrivals that — to quote from a Norwegian curriculum for migrants — in Europe “to force someone into sex is not permitted.”
When immigration proceeds at a steady but modest clip, deep change comes slowly, and there’s time for assimilation to do its work. That’s why the Muslim population in Europe has been growing only at one percentage point a decade; it’s why many of the Turkish and North African immigrants who arrived in Germany and France decades ago are reasonably Europeanized today. In the German case the important number here isn’t the country’s total population, currently 82 million. It’s the twentysomething population, which was less than 10 million in 2013 (and of course already included many immigrants). In that cohort and every cohort afterward, the current influx could have a transformative effect.
How transformative depends on whether these men eventually find a way to bring brides and families to Europe as well. In terms of immediate civil peace, family formation or unification offers promise, since men with wives and children are less likely to grope revelers or graffiti synagogues or seek the solidarity of radicalism.
But it could also double or treble this migration’s demographic impact, pushing Germany toward a possible future in which half the under-40 population would consist of Middle Eastern and North African immigrants and their children.
But if you add a million (or millions) of people, most of them young men, in one short period, you get a very different kind of shift.
SauceBasically at current rates German and Sweden's assimilation is gonna go the wrong way around and Germans are going to be assimilated into Arab culture and population
To think my estimates were actually underestimating the impact, I am pleasantly surprised everyday
So right now Germany has three options:
- Continue on current paths, get taharrush'd and replaced
- Try to get immigrant families to Germany and get replaced
- Balkan balkan balkan (or surprise attack from Poland, the cheki brekis), still get replaced
At last old French dreams are realized
And they are nightmares
