AfDs whole problem (from a not exploding into a rapidly expanding cloud of hot toxic splinters POV) is that they can't quite decide if they want to be a party of fed up middle class technocrats or völkische Nationalrevolutionäre.

Sereri posted:IT people are probably just better at finding discussion boards with the same weird stuff they're into so it reinforces their beliefs. Who knows. I'd forward the following hypothesis: IT people and FH engineers find many recruits from a pool of people who do not belong to the old intellectual bourgeoisie and see these jobs as a mean for socio-economical uplifting. So they study something that enables them to make big bucks without encumbering them with too much senseless Allgemeinbildung. Unfortunately, dealing with codes and machinery isn't the same as dealing with words and ideas, so that you can observe the combination of well paid and highly trained people without much intellectual capacity. Of course you can find IT people and engineers who do like words and ideas, but you can do without and still be good at your job.

For the record, everytime we get a smartass student trying to bullshit their way through anything, they invariably fail. This myth of humanities just being bullshit degrees for people who talk a lot without anything to say is idiotic and comes from people who look at something like academic philosophy and go, "they just sit there and talk! I can talk! I could totally ace this nonsense!", which is like looking at a CS degree and going, "all they do is hit buttons on their keyboard, I do that every day, I could totally do this!" This is going to blow your mind but all degrees need work, there is literally not a single degree at a german university you can simply bullshit your way through. The type of work differs and if you have moronic ideas about what type of work is ~*~real work~*~ then it will look to you like everyone else is doing it wrong. Also every area has idiots with bad opinions.

It's a shot at explaining why so many formally educated people believe bullshit. You could argue that many students of the humanities fall for the Marxist bullshit and are no better than Reichsbürger but at least their folly is established and somewhat socially accepted. If students of the humanities had to explain technical stuff on their own many of them would come to stupid conclusions. Why shouldn't engineers and IT guys come to stupid conclusions when trying to explain humanity to themselves? It's not like mankind is less complex than Windows 10 or a gas turbine.

Though they have a point. I never understood people from a fragile background who wanted to climb the social ladder by studying Komparatistik or Kunstgeschichte. I respect both fields (as much as somebody who hasn't studied them can claim that), but if I wanted to claw my way out of a plattensiedlung and had not been enticed with cultural or social capital I'd not choose humanities. Or rather: I'd not choose humanities if I either didn't care about being part of the Bildungsprekatiat or wasn't sure I was good enough at it and had the savvy to network (social capital!) my way into a good position. So if you choose humanities stick to your choice and don't blame society and capitalism when your bachelor in Intersectional Feminism doesn't earn you bucks.

GaussianCopula posted:Well, looks like refugees can actually be terrorists - who would have thought. Terrorist is such a strong word. IS has become more and more a brand. Every mentally deranged loser - and there are probably a few among the migrants - can claim to belong to IS and make his crime appear to follow some ideology instead of being an egoistical power trip. At least even newspapers like Zeit and Süddeutsche clearly stated that he was an Afghan immigrant, perhaps their uncritical stance has been revised under the bludgeoning of reality. As the perp was living in a German foster family we'll hopefully find out more about his motives. Much like I am still waiting for new leads on the money trail of the Lorry Jihadist in France.

I refuse to accept that connection as a premise, or that these are the only two standing points one can adopt. Not playing that game. I grant you that the situation in Turkey is more drastic, but in the end it's people taking matters into their own hands without respect for due process and the law. My Lovely Horse posted:You also claim that the legal decision was faulty at the same time you're claiming this is how the system is supposed to work, how does that work out? The legal decision itself is not faulty, but it does not allow us to judge whether the eviction was illegal in the first place, because it was a "Versäumnisurteil". If the eviction was legal, the acts of terrorism could no longer be linked to lynch justice and would have been simple terrorism.

Goddamn, IS with the real deep cover poo poo, we never stood a chance. Alternatively, yes, terrorists could come in with refugees, but they can also take alternate routes, which is basically what BKA and BND have been saying all along. Radicalization can just as easily happen here. Either way, the threat of terrorism does not constitute a reason constrict refugee flow, which is really what this entire discussion is all about anyway. You could look at other reasons, terrorism isn't it.

Obviously deranged kid who wanted to be ISIS. Probably treated badly as a refugee (it's Bavaria after all), radicalized himself or did it beforehand. The real ISIS attacks we have seen have been devastating and well executed. Probably also coming from a relatively small group of people in Europe. ISIS might condone young guys trying to be heros abroad, but I doubt they had anything to do with this actively. The main thing is that the guy couldn't even get hold of a gun. This is a good thing for us, because "if everyone would have a gun in arr country" then this could have been ugly. Inshallah all victims will survive.

This is factually incorrect, the best kind of incorrect. People were saying that the refugee route is one of the worst ways to organize a terrorist plot and that almost all attacks have been perpetrated by citizens who were born in Europe or have been living here for a very long time. I'm genuinely surprised that it took that long for something to happen in Germany. And then it happened with an axe ... a cheap souvenir fantasy axe ... with dragons and tits on it.
