We must have read two different articles. Can you quote where in the linked article it said that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Oh I don't know maybe the first three words?

MONSTERS APPEAL MIGRANT

Or the next three words that follow

the MONSTER migrant

Instead of maybe "the rapist", no we got to tie in that he is a migrant in all caps, at every possible turn.

Also further down referred to as

the MONSTER

Or

the migrant

Oh and also let's rope in some unrelated burglar who also happens to be a migrant.

All very easy to spot so I figure you're not really asking in good faith, just like someone who has an agency in "just asking questions" would do.

So you believe a child rapist isn't a monster, and that we aren't allowed to have heated discourse about the legal loopholes being utilized for foreign criminals to escape justice?

Nope, not what we were talking about mate. Op said:

That's not outrage being directed at the perpetrator, it's outrage being directed at an entire demographic of people of which the perpetrator happens to belong.

You said :

It's not in the article, it's in the comment you were replying to. What am I missing?

So don't try to move the goalposts just because you talked shit, I'm sick of this bullshit.

We were talking about why a, admittedly monstrous, rapist needs to be used to demonize a whole demographic. You pretended like that wasn't in the article, I proved it was, that is the fucking conversation we're having here.

Still no relevant response to what I pointed out, buddy,.

I'm not obligated to invest any more serious energy into you, bud. We're allowed to disengage if we feel someone lost the plot.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

just an observation, but replying to them is not disengagement.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You want some engagement too now?

Dr of what? Sealioning?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Are you a little bit slow?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's not in the article, it's in the comment you were replying to. What am I missing?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

What am I missing?

All the context.
