The opinion is that you should take your concern trolling and gently caress off as far as humanly possible

maskenfreiheit posted:so even with vastly increased fullblown 1984 powers they couldn't predict this lmfao enjoy your panopticon sheeple What I've gathered from these attacks is that the European Intelligence community is lightyears behind the NSA, CIA, and FBI when it comes to stopping these things.

Gonna wait and see how the Tory government responds so soon before an election. What I'd tell the Trump avs is that there is a history of right-wing governments (i.e. Spain) overreacting to terrorist attacks in an arrogant and opportunistic fashion which backfires when people show up to vote.

Intrinsic Field Marshal posted:facebook statement Is it me, or has the the word 'cowardly' really been pushed recently to describe these attacks? I remember May and Rudd using it in just about every statement, now Khan. I only noticed because Corbyn always seemed to avoid describing the attacker and focused instead on the response by emergency services/ordinary citizens. It's a trivial thing, it just sticks out at me because it's not the word I would choose myself.

I only noticed because Corbyn always seemed to avoid describing the attacker and focused instead on the response by emergency services/ordinary citizens. I am sure it is not intentional because at times like this people are lost for words and will reach for whatever fits, mostly echoing the language of other people. I always think of this whenever you hear people say 'send our thoughts and prayers', I'm sure most of them don't believe it, at least literally, but what else can you say in response? But cowardly is an odd word because it somehow implies that there are non-cowardly terrorist attacks.

I mean it's true for things that you are deliberately trying not to stab people with, that's why medical scissors exist, but it's a silly solution to the idea of people using knives as weapons because you'd also have to ban screwdrivers.

Lord of the Llamas posted:Yeah there's definitely a difference between attacking defenceless people on the street and the state security apparatus. That's true, but anyone who does it knows they're essentially committing suicide by police. It's horrific and inexcusable, but calling it cowardly feels almost like a deliberate refusal to try and understand the motivations behind the acts. Maybe it's just me, like I said it just hits my ear wrong so I end up noticing it. I wouldn't even be surprised if people like Sadiq Khan have pre-prepared statements to go out in circumstances like these.

It's horrific and inexcusable, but calling it cowardly feels almost like a deliberate refusal to try and understand the motivations behind the acts. The trouble is people's motives are inherently political, so anything other than the most vague accusations of badness (and polite suggestions for genocide, or at the very least mass displacement, for some inexplicable reason) can't be levelled for fear of "politicising tragedy" in proximity to the event. After the event drops out of the news cycle, nobody wants to talk about it.

Flayer posted:I live in London and so do my family. My sister was locked down during the Westminster attack and earlier this evening my girlfriend and I passed through London Bridge. We often shop in Borough Market, we've eaten in Brindisa, we've been to Katzenjammer. There is a very real possibility that people I know and love could be the victims of Islamic terror. You're a disgusting individual telling us that we are we are more of a danger to ourselves than these monsters are. I also live in London and could be the victim of a terrorist attack, but honestly, it's just statistics. This kind of emotional outburst is exactly what the terrorists want, and I'm not going to give it to them.
