What the 5-eyes nations are doing in the Middle East and parts of Asia is clearly based on xenophobia. The West are terrified that places like Libya, Iraq, Iran, Yemen .. Afghanistan .. Palestine .. will unite and create a dominant union in the region which shuts out Western influence entirely. And, indeed, these nations who might formerly have had a chance to create such a union, have xenophobic reasoning to do so.…
The idea that those countries could get along is hilarious. And by Asian do you mean Pakistan as per British terminology?
One has to be pretty blinded by ones own hubris to think this is hilarious, in my opinion.
>Asia
Afghanistan, Iran, etc.
Does anyone have an idea of how big 8chan and 4chan is in terms of users? Just from the visible activity in there I can see they must be massive. I think Slate is incorrect in describing them as expression of traditional neo-nazism. To me they are quite their own thing. Born out of Anime culture and gaming-culture becoming a playground for role playing, trash talking, trolling, real-life pranks degenerating into what…
You start out by making relatively innocent jokes about jews, and notice that certain portions of the anglosphere left and right really respond to this. Not only do they tell you that you can't say that, they also shower you with threats of violence. Successful troll is successful. So you go a bit further, start moving into actual anti-semitic jokes, conspiracies. Still just for the lulz, but it gets an even better r…
Also, the story relies on somebody intentionally antagonizing people for reaction, but when antagonized people are hostile back the person doubles up because buddies on irc are more friendly. No shit, he is not purposefully antagonizing them. And hostilities or not, person spreads anti-semitic conspiracies making other people believe in anti-semitic conspiracies. But like, if Jews push back, it is their own fault, they should be more passive and let it be.
What you described by the begging is not someone clueless joking. It is literally someone cool with antagonizing Jews in the first place, but not antagonizing irc boys. So like, he gets to socialize with who he is not antagonizing.

It's always worked that way. That's why fascistoid ideologies are so dangerous. It gives you a 'humorous' out of a dire situation where the 'humor' is dehumanizing to whoever the ideology deems 'other'. Very well encapsulated by this Sartre quote: “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusi…

Even if they consider "3" to be "mass" it's a bit alarming.
The problem though is that numbers aren't really the salient characteristic here. If some gang kills 5 members of another gang, that's not really a "mass killing" in the sense that this El Paso thing was.
...how have things gotten objectively worse for young men?
It's very hard to find a partner nowadays. In the past, people dated within the local community, so women were limited to their local dating pool. With the advent of online dating, women can afford to be choosy and pick from guys all over the country, if not even all over the world. As a result, many men that would have found someone in the past are going to be lonely nowadays. Now, the obvious reply to that is "but…

If that's so clear could you provide sources to sustain that claim (with which I disagree strongly)?
I mean, you know that Iraq was demolished. Afghanistan too. Libya, Syria .. and now Yemen.
Why do you think the 5-eyes forces are there instead of defending their homelands? Its not xenophobia?
