• Germany: AfD's 'white men' advent calendar sparks controversy and ridicule

From what I hear, the AfD is basically a huge joke in German politics. They think they're all tough shit but in reality nobody thinks they'll ever amount to anything. At least, thats what my hearsay says.
I wouldn't be so sure. There's a roughly 30% population in every western country that silently supports ethno-nationalism and fascism. They may seem a joke now, but circumstances could rise within which they'd start winning elections. Especially if the current coalition falls apart.
No, not they're not. And this is really not the place to discuss that particular white supremacist conspiracy theory.
No I don't feel under threat, you're welcome in my home, black people in the U.S. are treated like second class citizens (if citizens at all) not whites, and the far right are nutter butters looking for any excuse to be toxic and tear apart the communities they're in.
I'm a white American born into middle class and I make 90k a year doing my hobby engaged to a hot Asian girl and I have a 5min commute i hit the fucking genetic lottery dude I feel bad other people dont have it so good
Then I've been pretty horribly misinformed, damn. Thanks for setting me straight.
White dudes are fine. The guys yelling about it are a very small but loud minority.
It's undeniable that white men can face discrimination like everyone else, and it's shitty to deny that or change the definition of racism to make that okay. But people who acts like minority groups progressing in society, or the existence of radicals like college campus "sjws" is a form of systematic oppression of the majority are delusional.
The very fact that white males are the least oppressed of all in history, is enough for parties that are oppressed to villainize all of them in a sense of 'poetic justice'.
can you bring up some good examples of anyone of note doing this
Hatred only calls forth more hatred. We've seen it in the past and we should never see it again.
we dont need this lol, our achievements speak for themselves, that is just silly insecurity
You're referring to the regressive left, though. 'Parties that are oppressed' is too wide a generalization. What you're talking about are the nutjobs like the radical feminists, the same sort who hate transgender women. Or certain gays who hate straight people. Or transgendered extremists of the sort who coined the term 'cis scum'. Okay, so affirmative action is brought up again and again by white men that feel they are systemically oppressed. And I agree, in cases where less qualified candidates are chosen for a job strictly by merit of their skin color, that's a load of bullshit. But the reason affirmative action incentives were created in the first place was to address a massive under-representation of women and visible minorities in positions of power and influence. There was a systemic barrier to entry for them, and this was an attempt to address that in the near-term, so that in the long-term having women and minorities on, say, corporate boards would be a norm and not something to be avoided.
I'm just going to bite the bullet here and ask why is he wrong?
Because the thing he's responding to is so obviously dripping with sarcasm that the fact he was actually offended by it is fucking hilarious. Also because there's no way to prove that claim. The history of humanity is an exercise in what scientists call collective learning where every fresh achievement after the first contact between cultures and the advent of trade across borders was built upon the last.
Ah I see, thanks!
I don't get as many cheap bitches as those stock Turkish bozos with their rented Mercedes AMG that makes me feel very threatened and oppressed.
Nah.
