r/drama: I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED

My cousin became a Christian and the whole family cut her out. I didn't, because she was like my older sister and her religion didn't change who she was. But it was horrible seeing her deal with everything alone and without her family. I no longer speak with her family, you can't do that and claim you're a decent human.

I hope you have some good people around you now.

n/a Ultrashitpost 2017-02-22

Yeah, i get along fine. It could've been a lot worse, given the circumstances.

n/a WithoutAComma 2017-02-22

Ha I thought you were joking in the other thread. Sorry for trying to correct you on the meaning of schizoid.

n/a Ultrashitpost 2017-02-22

np m8

I'm actually mostly schizoid, the positie symptoms are relatively mild in my case.

n/a FuckTripleH 2017-02-22

Yeah living with your parents well into your 20s doesn't have the same stigma as it does in the US

n/a krutopatkin 2017-02-22

only southerners

n/a DuckHuntHotDog 2017-02-22

shocked that young people live with their parents in the current economy?

n/a Fartkin 2017-02-22

current economy

nigga c'mon 90%?

n/a DuckHuntHotDog 2017-02-22

you think people who got nothing to lose and lash out with violence are the kinds that have good enough financial circumstances to move out of their parents' house?

n/a Fartkin 2017-02-22

no?

n/a DuckHuntHotDog 2017-02-22

so 90% makes sense right?

n/a Fartkin 2017-02-22

it seemed like you were blaming the economy, not the loser antifa

n/a The_Real_AzorAhai 2017-02-22

How are symptoms of increased unemployment not the fault of the economy? Or is "economic anxiety" just a right wing meme?

n/a Fartkin 2017-02-22

being unemployed doesn't turn you into antifa, being an idiot does.

n/a The_Real_AzorAhai 2017-02-22

I feel like you're kind of missing the bigger picture here.

n/a Fartkin 2017-02-22

i get what you're saying but antifa isn't a symptom, they've always been around

n/a The_Real_AzorAhai 2017-02-22

Of course they were, but they're definitely growing in number. And at some point you have to ask what's happening to fuel radical politics in every ideological strain. It's weird that there was so much talk pre- and post-election about how right wingers were motivated by a bad economy to "burn it all down" but left wingers literally burning it all down are presumed to come from something else.

n/a Fartkin 2017-02-22

i think you're assuming i hold a view that i don't

n/a The_Real_AzorAhai 2017-02-22

right wingers definitely don't

That's probably where we disagree. I think mocking "economic anxiety" was a dumb liberal meme that ignores that real people are having the economy fail them and are desperate. There are real economic problems in the west and real results are going to be felt from the people affected once they have nothing left to lose, no matter their ideologies. I don't have to agree with the reaction to say "yeah I expect a new generation being told they'll likely never afford their own housing won't take it that well"

n/a DuckHuntHotDog 2017-02-22

how about both? few younger people are moving out of their parents' house in general these days.

n/a wwyzzerdd 2017-02-22

but you said...

shocked that young people live with their parents in the current economy?

n/a alarmmightsound 2017-02-22

Fucking losers

It's pretty uncommon in Germany actually.

Global warming is not a Chinese conspiracy. It is a leftist conspiracy.

n/a YourGayOpinion 2017-02-22

No, you should only listen to leftist academics. Good boy.

n/a going_for_a_wank 2017-02-22

The study was carried out with data from Germany, and published in the German tabloid BILD

Wew

The result does kind of sound right though. People with nothing to lose are probably way more likely to become violent protesters on either side.

n/a bigtool123 2017-02-22

How is that wew tho?

n/a bfbj 2017-02-22

BILD is a tabloid, it'd be like if the National Inquirer did a study that found 92% of bigfoots lived in Maine.

n/a glmox 2017-02-22

that would be retarded, though. everyone knows montana is america's bigfoot hotbed

n/a going_for_a_wank 2017-02-22

Good studies get published in peer-reviewed journals (or at least open-access journals) not tabloid newspapers.

Plus, Bild's reputation is not in a good place right now. Just in the past week they have been challenged for publishing a story about "Arab sex mobs" that was fake news. Not even fake news where they exaggerated and blew actual events out of proportion, but rather nothing happened at all. A complete fabrication, and Frankfurt police called them out.

n/a captainpriapism 2017-02-22

lol snopes is so bad with anything remotely political

theyre like FALSE DEBUNKED NO SEX MOBS but then right under that they clarify

In 2016, large numbers of robberies and sexual assaults were reported during New Year’s festivities throughout Germany, particularly in Cologne. Germany’s federal police found that at least 1,200 women were assaulted across the country, igniting a debate about immigration after many of the suspects were reported to be of North African origin.

but totally not a "sex mob" its DEBUNKED because of the terminology

n/a cimarafa 2017-02-22

This refers to a specific alleged incident which did not happen.

n/a captainpriapism 2017-02-22

whyd they clarify with the bottom paragraph that specifically describes what happened on that date then

"yeah like a thousand people got raped by africans but it wasnt a sex mob so youre wrong"

snopes in a nutshell

n/a going_for_a_wank 2017-02-22

I'm curious if you are illiterate, or just on drugs.

BILD ran a story saying that there was a Muslim rape gang in Frankfurt on New Years eve.

The Frankfurt police were surprised, an released a statement saying that it was the first they had heard of this - no reports were called in and no victims or witnesses came forward.

BILD checked their sources and found out that their witnesses had lied about being in town that night.

BILD retracted the story and apologized.

Snopes wrote a summary, and included as background an acknowledgement that there were new years eve Muslim rape gangs in cities other than Frankfurt

n/a captainpriapism 2017-02-22

yeah ok cool im wrong on that one because i didnt put enough effort into finding an example, im willing to admit that

but snopes is still trash and you can cite anything theyve written since the election as proof

n/a Prince_Kropotkin 2017-02-22

You're going off the fucking deep end. Just because fucking neo-Nazis disagree with the media doesn't reflexively make the media wrong, dude.

n/a captainpriapism 2017-02-22

eh my point about snopes still stands, just look at anything theyve said about trump

Just because neo-Nazis disagree with the media doesn't reflexively make the media wrong, dude.

and just because the media calls people theyre at odds with neo nazis doesnt actually make that true either

Bow to reality once in a while.

which is what exactly, whats your take on this

n/a massenkompatibel 2017-02-22

That was 2015/2016, the recent story was about 2016/2017. But yeah, Snopes really is awful for politics. (Or if the "bios" of their authors are anything to go by, for anything that's not Internet degeneracy.)

n/a captainpriapism 2017-02-22

is it? i remember they denied it happening 2015/16 too

did you see the wikileaks thing that came out that said sweden has been lying about this shit out of embarassment

n/a going_for_a_wank 2017-02-22

Those happened in different cities though...

Nothing happened in Frankfurt, and the """witnesses""" that BILD used were not even in the location that they claimed. No victims came forward. Nothing was reported to the police. Nothing happened in Frankfurt.

The fact that snopes bothered to give the context of other cities should make you happy because it supports your narrative.

n/a YourGayOpinion 2017-02-22

Leftist studies get published in peer-reviewed journals not tabloid newspapers.

n/a going_for_a_wank 2017-02-22

Well that's just, like, your gay opinion man

n/a thefran 2017-02-22

Yeah, rightist studies get published in tabloid newspapers. Nice self-own.

n/a YourGayOpinion 2017-02-22

Admitting that Marxists have taken over academia. Social science is therefore fraudulent.

n/a thefran 2017-02-22

No, they haven't, what the fuck are you talking about?

n/a alarmmightsound 2017-02-22

Yeah, I'm torn between this coming from BILD and fucking Heat St, and it actually sounding correct.

What do

n/a krutopatkin 2017-02-22

It also got published in the Daily Mail recently, lol

n/a YourGayOpinion 2017-02-22

That feeling you are experiencing is MAGA being born, friend.

n/a captainpriapism 2017-02-22

nobody with anything important to do thinks "resisting" trump is a worthwhile effort basically

n/a krutopatkin 2017-02-22

Btw, BILD wrote it was a study by the German domestic security agency, but somehow they're the only ones with access to it.

n/a going_for_a_wank 2017-02-22

Good catch. Will have to wait and see if/when the official study is released. Science reporting - especially in tabloids - is often shoddy at best, so seeing the full study will be important.

n/a lifesbrink 2017-02-22

Quick, someone post this article in r/anarchism!

n/a bfbj 2017-02-22

So... rioters were far more likely to be in a poor enough economic conditions that they couldn't afford housing?

n/a jubbergun 2017-02-22

So... rioters were far more likely to be ~~in a poor enough economic conditions that they couldn't afford housing~~ middle/upper class white kids who refuse to do anything productive with their lives?

Corrected for accuracy.

n/a YourGayOpinion 2017-02-22

Imagine being an able-bodied white man and still fail, lol

n/a PM_ME_HAIRLESS_CATS 2017-02-22

The study was carried out with data from Germany, and published in the German tabloid BILD

So this is like not being able to afford a few hundred MTurkers to produce the same result?

n/a AggressiveSloth 2017-02-22

When they say ‘Anti-Fascist’ do they mean Anti-Fascist or Anti-Trump/Anti-Democracy

Same thing, really.
