Moved here because as I keep repeating, if you want to discuss GamerGate, do it in the GamerGate thread. Also if you can't see the difference between a religion of 1.6 billion people and a five-month old movement built on bullshit conspiracy theories that has resulted in endless harassment...

Because you're cherry-picking religious texts, providing your own interpretation that almost all Islamic scholars and practitioners would disagree with, and then indicting them anyway. It's like looking at the Old Testament and going "Christians are all bloodthirsty savages." It's hateful...

If you're going to copy-paste Islamophobic nonsense, at least provide a source. Also note that most practicing Muslims will tell you that those interpretations are not their interpretations -- as can be seen by the plain fact that most practicing Muslims do not, in fact, do any of the things...

Again: we can do both. Yet you keep coming in with "why are you not telling this to murderers." Well, we are. Everyone is. From #JeSuisCharlie to every Islamic organization I know of to every government I know of to every public institution I've seen. I think we've got that aspect covered, dude...

Lots of people are worried about what would happen if "Islam" (which is not that monolythic) were to become the basis of government in Europe. I'm just saying that that's not a remotely realistic fear because the odds of that happening are minuscule. You're allowed to worry, of course. Also...

No, and no one's saying that. You don't need to be ashamed of being a white man. But when you perpetuate harmful myths that further oppression of marginalized groups, then you should be ashamed of what you're doing, because what you're doing is both bullshit and harming people. It sucks that...

Oh yeah, I forgot about your obsession with shouting "fallacy." Maybe you can use it to look up what's wrong with "these politicans say X therefore it's true." I do have ties to Islam, though. Because Islam is a part of European culture. Muslims are a part of European society, and human...

You talking about being a white man doesn't oppress people. The myth that those people who are regularly discriminated against and hated by large portions of society "come here abuse the welfare system and laugh at how stupid out politicans are," that certainly does contribute to that oppression...

Why? He has a point. "This political leader says it" is not particularly good proof of anything except that that political leader thinks it (or thinks it's beneficial for their career). Merkel is perfectly capable of being wrong. And she is.

Guys, if you're going to post a bit of news in here, try to add a source. Otherwise this is just going to devolve into random rumor mongering. Because they're not. The TSA and every other airport security apparatus I know of engages heavily in racial profiling. Talk to anyone who looks vaguely...

Haha. I actually "news"posted that here: http://www.nma-fallout.com/showthread.php?202667-Kotaku-ranks-the-Fallout-games

This kind of dehumanization of "the enemy" and a refusal to look at the genesis and context of their actions is part of the problem. Even if only from the perspective that you can't defeat your enemy without understanding him.

Which is complete nonsense. Have you looked at the masses of anti-terror legislation, invasions of privacy and expansion of security apparati over the past decade?

Haha, those stories are always cool. Unfortunately, the boring explanation is that it's just faulty human memory being faulty. Lame.

Why would he be a sockpuppet? Gay people are just as capable of being completely clueless idiots as anyone else is.

Did you just call slavery and white supremacy a "short and minor event"? The defining characteristic of the genesis of the most powerful state in the world for the past 200 years? A driving force behind some of the largest economic growth we've ever seen? A major factor in colonialism, which...

Read the rest of the thread. We've gone over this half a dozen times. Or use Google. Research ain't hard.

Nazis and Neo-Nazis are right-wing in the sense that they are nationalistic, explicitly racist and xenophobic, socially conservative, anti-communist fascists -- all issues generally associated with the "right" on that far-too-simplistic political spectrum. The only left-wing characteristic that...

The study applies all of those controls at the point of "one year after leaving college". The study says nothing about hiring discrimination, because it only looks at full-time employees and controls for occupation. It says nothing about discrimination in education, because it controls for that...

@TheWesDude: If you want to discuss why I blame the whole of GamerGate for its actions, go to the GamerGate thread. This is not the place for that. When moderators tell you not to do something, you should generally listen. Please do so. I didn't say Libertarianism was similar to Nazism, so...
