People see what they wanna see

Take me for example, if you look at that "research" I'll just call you an Islamophobic fascist

But I am islamaphobic, as well as muslimaphobic.

As for a fascist, I'm born and raised in the US of A. "Fascist" is merely a term meant to troll people. "Poo-poo pants" achieves the same.

Any of your Brits listened to Rupert Lowe on Rogan? He's a British MP and the subject is the rape gangs and the failure of Muslim immigrants (particularly from Pakistan) to assimilate, even setting up their own little fiefdoms and court systems. It's about two hours long, but I'm an hour in and it's already getting a bit repetitive, so you could probably check out the first 30-40 minutes and get the gist of it.

Rupert Lowe is an industry plant. Most of the UK has realised he's full of shit. Currently polling at less than 5%, Musk clearly pulled a favour to get him on JRE. His report is entirely inaccurate, chose the worst affected area in the whole of the UK for his report and then conducted his data as though it was the national average. It's like saying the worst Parish in the US had 50 paedophile priests in it and if there were 20,000 parishes. Then there must be a million paedophile priests in the US. All I'm gonna say is you know you're a wrongen when Musk agrees with you.

Let's say the numbers are wrong, you don't think there is a real issue that's being purposely ignored?

I honestly don't. I think it's a real issue where it happens and anyone involved should be prosecuted regardless of their ethnicity. But I don't think it's happening anywhere near the scale Lowe claims and I don't think there's some huge conspiracy. There are Pakistani grooming gangs there are also White British Grooming gangs. If your goal is actually protecting children, you look at the evidence as a whole not just the parts that fit your narrative. My main problem with Lowe is that he doesn't have any actual policies beyond culture war talking points. He knows immigration, Islam and grooming gangs are topics that get people angry, so he keeps repeating them. Like he blames Islam for all the UK's problems, what's he gonna do when he gets rid of Muslims and all those problems are still there. He also refuses to go on any sort of debate shows cos he knows he's gonna get ripped apart cos none of his arguments have merit. The only people he'll go with are uneducated people like Rogan who just blindly agree with what he says and takes it for gospel

ty for this. boots on the ground perspective is always far more valuable to me. rogan's talking points all stem from 12k arrests from social media posts last year.

I'm in San Francisco so people naturally assume it's infested with crime, rampant drug abuse, and people shitting on the sidewalk. All based upon media reporting and social media shorts. And while that certainly happens, it's concentrated in a handful of pockets within the city. There's more neighborhoods and boroughs that don't have that than do.
