I think Imgur blocked the UK entirely themselves rather than comply with the online spying act

My bad, 31405 is a bitch

Exactly this. Weight classes exist for a reason. Inertia is a thing, and smaller people have less of it to throw around. A tiny person will get their shit rocked by a big person, even if the big person is only half-assing their punches. A concussion is when the brain bounces off the inside of the skull, and someone in a higher weight class is much more likely to cause that. Look at how her head snaps back when she gets hit. Now imagine if it was someone her own size, and imagine how much less impact it would have.

Sometimes I wonder whether what we're seeing is actually a regression, or whether that's just what's easier to believe. As you highlight, this has been bubbling under the surface for a while, so one could argue that it never really went away.

I often think about how the UK likes to pretend it doesn't have a problem with antisemitism. Before WW2, there were plenty of powerful people in Britain who were thinking that Hitler was a sensible chap to be finally addressing "the Jewish problem".

Sure, some of these people were probably horrified when they learned of the mass extermination programme under Nazi Germany, but they were plenty fine with seizing the property of Jewish people and putting them into ghettos. But nooooo, of course we don't have a systemic problem with antisemitism — we beat the Nazis! We're the heroes, don't you know?

I dont think you can "beat" racism. I think its something that comes from growing up and seeing behavior you think is negative from a certain group of people.

Maybe some humans are not built to get along with everyone. We tend to like people who are similar to ourselves.

I havent seen many discussions about why people are racist. Clearly some of them are, and maybe we would be also if we grew up with their experiences.

I dont think you are born a racist. Its something society does to you growing up. Could be low emotional intelligence but seems like a bit too easy to explain it that way. Many very intelligent people are racists also, clearly.

I have a brother in law that moved to Germany. He talks about it like it’s the magical promised land, where everyone is awesome and poverty and racism isnt a thing. He grew up in wealth and moved to a nice area of Germany so he thinks he knows how it all works

hear about all the problems with immigrants and the like.

Is there anywhere this isn't the case? I've heard the same in Central America, Sweden, and the Netherlands, I know the UK is that way too.

Don't underetimate people in chaos. Things escalate quick

Yes, some blood is gonna get spilled. You either die fighting or go quietly into that great night. Revolution is never bloodless. Neither is seizing power, or fighting against injustice. Heads will roll, let's make sure it's the right ones, eh?!

Lmfao good one. Seriously, though, I at least associate Nazis more with putting people in camps than "just" punching them. A punch is more vanilla oppression, so to speak.

Its a zionist bar, that tries to be leftist politically but is not engaged in any real activism or reads any theory, or really any news other than german state news. Their activism is really only "anti-tankieism", so the only thing they really do is punch left and invite zionists.
