Re: Feminism for men
One of the claims made in the video is that the German state is suppressing information which shows the migrants in a negative light. The MediaMatters article claims this is not the case.Justsit wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 1:55 pm Information about the alt-right organization that produced the videos. https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2018/ ... bia/219260
Since everyone seems to be questioning the sauce, try some delicious Economist (hard for anyone to claim they are biased). Some excerpts:
Which is putting it mildly.A number of the newcomers from the Middle East and Africa are anti-Semitic. Confronting such ills without encroaching too much on freedom of expression is tricky.
MediaMatters claims:
Mmmhmmm. Here are the facts.the portrayal of immigrant men (particularly Muslims) as predisposed toward sexual violence
MM further says:
The Economist has this to say:the baseless accusation that law enforcement is involved in a cover-up of violent crime by immigrant populations.
We can add to that the Chancellor's disgusting behaviour toward her own citizens, for the purpose of maintaining diplomatic relations with a brutal Islamist dictator:On December 8th Israeli flags were burned at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin in response to Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the country’s capital. Despite accompanying chants of “Israel, murderer of children”, the local police said the act was covered by freedom of speech legislation and was thus protected
Last April the chancellor declined to block the prosecution of Jan Böhmermann, a German comedian who had made crude jokes about Mr Erdogan, under an archaic law against insulting foreign heads of state (which has since been repealed).
I'll just list some more articles here:
FT - German media accused of one-sided coverage of refugee crisis
BBC - Germany: Migrants 'may have fuelled violent crime rise'
Reuters - Violent crime rises in Germany and is attributed to refugees
Bloomberg - Germany Must Come to Terms With Refugee Crime
Telegraph - Migrant crime in Germany rises by 50 per cent, new figures show
Telegraph - Failed asylum seekers blamed for rise in violent crime in Germany
I hope this is enough to show that the matter is not simple, and we cannot just write off these women as 'alt-right', and thereby imply that they are evil bigoted morons.

You are very certain that you know what's going on aren't you Mr Man? It must be very easy for you: 'this one is evil, this one is good'. I don't tend to trust my views quite as much as you apparently do - I prefer to leave some space for the possibility that there might be other aspects to a matter which I don't necessarily see clearly.

Re: Feminism for men
Someone would have to conduct a study to see exactly how much violence against women comes from immigrants in order to verify.
But it certainly seems like the videos are right-wing propaganda.
Unfortunately, I think this is the type of propaganda people like.

It seems pretty clear that it is right wing propoganda.

Re: Feminism for men
I think it rather depends on where on the political spectrum one sits - from a point further right, this might seem liberal. From an extreme left wing position, Stalin might seem like a right-winger. It's all relative. Besides, fact is orthogonal to ideology.chownah wrote: ↑Fri Mar 09, 2018 1:29 pmDo you dispute that the video was produced by members of the right wing?...do you dispute that it is propoganda?Pseudobabble wrote: ↑Fri Mar 09, 2018 9:55 amCorrection: it is your assertion that the video is 'right wing propaganda'.

Re: Feminism for men
it all depends who says it?
Re: Feminism for men
Where one sits on the political spectrum only changes the word one would use to denote the political position....it doesn't change what the political beliefs/views are which were formative in making the video. Call it by whatever name you want or compare it to positions farther right or left but it is still the same thing only with a different name. I think it is pretty clear what has been meant by "right wing" in this exchange....if you aren't sure then just read up on the position of those who made the video and accept that that is what is meant.Pseudobabble wrote: ↑Fri Mar 09, 2018 2:24 pmI think it rather depends on where on the political spectrum one sits - from a point further right, this might seem liberal.

I'd like to ask you to define the difference between opinion and propaganda.
One difference between opinion and propoganda is that opinion in and of itself is passive in that it is simply defining a position while propaganda is always active in that it always tries to sway people's position. I could just say that I think that immigrants are rapists and that would be me stating an opinion or I could produce a film trying to convince people that immigrants are rapists and that would be propoganda.
Interesting that you claim that fact is orthogonal to ideology. I think that in general this is usually true for the most part......but what is interesting is that you would assert that there is a thing called "fact" at all since you also claim that "it's all relative" which you seem to use to deny the existence of "facts".
