You are welcome to define your own beliefs and your behavior based on those beliefs, but you have no right to call others "racist" when they choose to exercise caution, especially when it's with good reason.

My local exposure with gypsies have largely been limited to helping in pushing their car out of the way in the parking lot of my apartment complex when their car battery died. They're still a weirdly nomadic(?) people, with some wearing Formula One McLaren logo emblazed coats along with their shined leather shoes and tailored trousers for some odd reason. And their love for iskelmä music is well documented. I can't blame if people feel nervous around them, though. They have a long and rough history.

I visited the Patruuna museum in Lapua last summer, it was haunting how a small community like that basically lost a generation of people in one moment. Oh, and tucked away in a corner room there is also an Lapuan liike exhibition, which somehow underscores the ridiculousness of where that movement started.

Hmmm, something that always strikes me as odd. Mr. LASSUS did something quite common earlier. Why do people who are übertouchy and feel personally offended about minority issues in general pull this stuff almost without a fail? They take some statement, read far too much into, or for example generalize it to mean every single person from some group on whose behalf they feel obliged to be offended - and then become offended or angry at their own generalization. Like so: Person A says, say, "Somalians in my town are mostly unemployed." Person B claims Person A just said all Somalians are lazy and criminal layabouts, and becomes offended. Person A points out that isn't quite what he said. Person B does't listen. Person B calls out person A a racist piece of poo poo. Or perhaps Person A writes out power metal lyrics to the tune of "we must fight againts multiculturalism!" on his facebook. Person B claims Person A just said random foreigners need to be physically attacked in the streets. Or, according to Person B, at least someone somewhere might think so. Person B becomes extremely agigated about his his own interpretation. Person C points out Person A wanted to fight an ism, as in a political agenda. Person B doesn't listen. Person B calls person A and person C racists who spread hate speech which is meant to instigate violence against children. It's just so weird. I honestly do not understand the motivation or to what (good or postivie) purpose or effect pulling that poo poo is supposed to have.

While doing that doesn't cause the person called racist to look bad anymore (or at least not as badly), it still effectively kills the dialogue.

This is intentional and if you ask people about it, it's called "not giving any room to racists/fascists/other people i disagree with". I don't think all the people who do that understand it that way, even though blowing up everything as a byproduct causes shutting down discussion yes. For example your average rexroom, fishofhemp or allan will accuse you of racism at the drop of a hat, or make huge generalizations out of, say, my posts ("lukemalla rivien välistä") but at the same time I'm pretty sure they are congratulating themselves for being open, objective and all for diverse and moniääninen keskustelu. It would be interesting to hear people who do this explain their own behaviour. One I've heard is that even though Person A doesn't actually say so, and denies meaning it, Person B still "knows" person A actually made his statement about the unemployed Somali in his town (or whatever) just because he is a racist psycopath who wants to massacre all mussulmen. Thus Person B is under no compuction to behave civilly, and is free, even justified in accusing Person A of all that and hitler. Fortunately this one of the very few instances where a lot of people think they can treat communication in this manner. If everyone everywhere discussed based on their worst assumptions, and better yet, refused to listen when someone attemps to correct them, yhteiskunta natisisi kyllä liitoksistaan vielä helvetin paljon pahemmin. Cake Smashing Boob posted:That's weird, because I remember supplying you with statistics, not the other way around. Must be my leftist brain playing tricks on me. I'm sure you have. When did I say Cake Smashing Boob has never supplied me with statistics? Still doesn't make it go away that Swedes have often attacked me for saying this or that and then ignore any material that would support what I said. And say I (o whoever) can't comment on Swedish news because I don't speak fluent Swedish. They by and large (in D&D) treat everyone this way if the person doesn't agree to the forum concensus about something. You know this yourself. (Translation has not been invented in Sweden.)

Do you people think that people on the left sphere of politics are somehow more pure and enlightened then literally any other group of person and thus there must be some specific new never seen before cause for dishonest leftist posters? That's pretty much the only reason I can figure out the reason for all of this self-congratulatory jacking off in two languages that we get every goddamn few pages. You know the reason, stop pretending that you don't. Whatever side you support or whatever pet cause you focus on doesn't have any better track record. Some people debate dishonestly. Regardless of their political views. Wow look at that I just solved the mystery right there.

This is intentional and if you ask people about it, it's called "not giving any room to racists/fascists/other people i disagree with". This is because racists don't bring anything new to the debate. When people "kill the dialogue", it's only because nobody cares. They'd rather do normal people stuff than argue about brown people and how they're bad. This greatly annoys racists who think everybody needs to hear their views. Or, more preferably, adopt them. Speaking of racists, herr doktor Jussi Halla-aho has something of a fallout with them. Or, at least with MV -lehti, the Finnish Gawker, only worse. Why, considering MV was the voice of freedom for far right types? The main architect of the "immigration critical" got on their bad side when he dared to suggest we join NATO and criticized Russia for being a country led by an authoritarian leader. There are apparently a lot of weirdos who think only Russia could save Finland from the pinko liberal taint, so this was a red flag, making him a pariah. In retaliation Halla-aho has called MV -lehti a "ruble financed rag" in Facebook. Racists in general have lost faith with TF for not cleansing Finland of funny looking people.

It's exactly as common on any side, just in a different form. This is a left-leaning forum (extremely so IMO). Go to a right-leaning forum and see how fast you're painted as a defender of muslim rapists or homogays tearing down the fabric of society by random posters if you even seem to support either refugees or gay rights. Different people think defending different things make you a monster. Some people are so narrowly focused that they think that even a slight allusion of perhaps defending those things make you a monster and they are exactly as goddamn common on any political position.
