Why should that woman feel bad about being white? Regardless of her skin colour, she and her partner were still attacked by those little shits. No amount of “white privilege” cancels out the fact that these two women were attacked and robbed for being homosexual and for refusing to entertain those twats.

Intersectionality is destroying our community, and it is making it harder for lesbian, gay and bisexual people who have been attacked or discriminated against because of their orientation to seek support.

And another thing. No offence to British people, but your police force is a joke. The saying about all of the cops in heaven being British has not aged well at all.

Agreed on the British police. Though I am only half British, and only lived over there for a few years as an adult to see what it was like.

Also agreed on intersectionality being toxic. It's atrocious for a victim to apologise for having too much privilege because she's not an even WORSE victim who is also poor/Black/trans or whatever.

The Garda Síochána are not much better let's be honest. They all sing from a similar ultra left hymn-book.

You are sadly right. And the worst part is, it’s not just the Gardaí. The judges, the media and the politicians also don’t care about stopping actual crime.

In Ireland and in the U.K., most of the upper management in police stations were never on-the-beat police officers to begin with. A lot of them got those positions with nothing but a useless college degree like gender studies. Only people who used to be cops and who were good at their jobs should get promoted to management. And the police should be allowed to carry weapons so they can go after dangerous criminals.

Stopping actual crime is hard though..............Fighting mean words online not so much. It is easy meat.

The judicery is a joke.

The judiciary is a joke

I’m not sure if the penal system of countries like the U.K., Ireland and America are incompetent or outright malicious. But I’m leaning towards them being malicious.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" - You seem to have invoked something akin to Hanlon's razor.

I am not sure which of the two is more a truth tbqh. I feel like I would prefer to side with incompetence. We might just have a chance then. We can do something with incompetence. Malice however is a lot more frightening. Hard to oust competent nasty cunts.

A malicious government can still be restrained by a well-informed population who continuously ring up their elected representatives. A politician is less likely to do a terrible thing if he or she knows he or she will lose his or her seat in the next election for this.
