I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Und klar sage ich das aus einer Position der Betroffenheit. Mich wollen die abschieben. Ich bin für die "kein Echter". Meine Kinder wollen die in "Sonderklassen" stecken. Und weil ich seit Jahren mit diesen Leuten zu tun habe, weiß ich auch, dass es vielfach (!) Rassismus und nicht Abstiegsangst ist

Wer "inhaltlich auf sie eingeht", der biedert sich dem Rechtsextremismus an. Genau das machen die Rechtskonservativen ja seit Jahren - mit "Stadtbild"-Sprüchen & Co kopieren sie die Faschos und machen sie damit stark. Vielleicht sollte man mal das Gegenteil probieren.

Man verstehe mich nicht falsch: Das heißt nicht, dass wir das akzeptieren sollen oder müssen. Aber ich hab die Nase voll vom Versuch zu verstehen, was mit denen los ist. Das sind Rechtsextreme. Die wissen genau, was mit "Remigration" und "Umvolkung" und "echte Deutsche" gemeint ist.

Remarkably, Kent Police say they didn't arrest any of the fascist thugs in Dover on Saturday, because they didn't commit any offences. It not being an offence to wilfully obstruct the highway, contrary to s.137 Highways Act 1980.
