Movies as Catalysts for Positive Change

I sincerely hope you don't rely on Infowars for all of your news![stewbal]
Note the source, the UN--no lib slackers there.

That's the first time I've quoted them. There were gazillions so. Did you happen to notice the chart I posted?

Dardan's link seems to shed a little light on potential reasons why the rate appears to be so high.

God I hate resorting to the UN, but look at it wuudjua.

Ugh I just wanted to talk about movies, how did I let this happen?!

Y'know, it's hard to talk about art, particularly literature/cinema, without it getting entangled with politics and economics.....whiich is why the "progressives" are continually more relying on subjective (ahem) "logic".

Oh look another socialist European liberal who bashes America. Great, so original

Here's a good video I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yjYK95Qs8Q

Alex Jones is even a bit too much for me sometimes. It seems like he has pre thought out rants and just interjects them randomly into whatever he's saying. This makes for some great comedy at times and it's easy to see why people would be turned off by him. However, Paul Joseph Watson, who works for infowars, is fantastic and makes great videos.

Rofl this xenophobia. You're statistically more likely to be killed in a car crash multiple times in any given month than you are to be killed by a terrorist attack once in your entire life. And even if you were killed in a terrorist attack, the chances it would have been done by a Muslim are extremely fucking slim. The idea that groups like ISIS pose an existential threat to America is a joke. Statistics are important, because it forces you to be consistent. And if you're scared of ISIS more than you're scared of driving a car, you're being completely irrational.

Um, we're not just talking about murder? Try to keep up, little guy.

[Suture Self]

Nah, ISIS, Islam, Muslims, etc, don't pose a threat to the West at all. It's okay, you don't have to be scared anymore.

Yes, why would anyone possibly be leery of a religion that calls for the murder or subjugation of all non-believers, has already taken over entire nations (Lebanon was once a Christian nation, Pakistan used to be part of the Indian Empire, Afghanistan used to be Buddhist, etc.), and has adherents that have already killed over 550 million people throughout history?! Why at all?

And even if you were killed in a terrorist attack, the chances it would have been done by a Muslim are extremely fucking slim.

Firstly, most terrorist attacks are in fact committed by the "religion of peace". Secondly, it's just the beginning. In Western countries where they're still a relatively small minority, they resort to terrorism. France's Muslim population is only 4%. Sweden, whose lovely invaders have made it the rape capital of Europe, committing over 70% of rapes, has a mere 6% Muslim population.

But that changes as they grow more numerous. Ask the tens of millions of Hindus and Christians systematically massacred by Death Cultists what happens when Muslims start amassing a more significant population in a country.

The idea that groups like ISIS pose an existential threat to America is a joke.

The suicidal instinct is just too powerful with some people. The Paris massacre doesn't even faze them. Oh well. Not everyone gets to survive.

Your historical figures are obviously wrong, exaggerated and completely unsubstantiated but this isn't worth talking about because no amount of legitimate information will convince you otherwise. You'll just buy into the laziest speculation that gives the highest index of muslims doing evil and refuse to dig deeper because that's how your hatred rolls.

You're not engaged in any kind of legitimate or open inquiry; you just parrot bullshit statistics from blogposts or right-wing shrill pieces that support a conclusion you've already decided upon long in advance. The continued linking in this thread from places like breitbart, frontpagemag, infowars, white males making youtube videos, a variety of amateur blog posts, and overlong Facebook posts proves this beyond any reasonable doubt. All you have are useless anecdotes and info from fear-mongering white males and this is what shapes your worldview. Nerd alert.

AKA "I have no facts to respond to the ones you posted, so I'll just dismiss it all with rhetoric".

You're not engaged in any kind of legitimate or open inquiry;

Another fine example of the 2nd Law of SJWs.

SJWs always project.

The continued linking from places like breitbart, frontpagemag,

"Sites with different viewpoints than mine must be evil and wrong. Their heretical facts challenging the Narrative can't be trusted, either!"

white males making youtube videos,

The horror, the horror! Say Suture, what race are you?

By the way, here is a far worse xenophobe and "hater" than me. You should go lecture him, although you might want to bring along a psychic;

Quotes the guardian and nature.org repeatedly. These are legitimate in his mind

If you don't agree with the leftist narrative, it's because you are filled with hate.

He is unable to form his own opinions therefore you must also engage in this behavior. Since he parrots statistics and facts, you must do it too.

The continued linking from places like breitbart, frontpagemag, infowars,

These sites contradict his views that the government have foisted on him and therefore are irrelevant.

White people's opinions are less valid than people of color (that's what his college taught him). Even though you linked to several pieces that weren't written by whites or videos not spoken by whites, this still applies because the leftist narrative is challenged.

This is a guy that lives in a town of ~55,000 with a 92% white population and only one mosque, I wonder if he's ever seen a Muslim before lol

[Suture Self]

Also, just for clarification, when I say most terrorist attacks, I'm talking about terrorist attacks in North America, since that post was about the "existential threat" to America that Islam poses. I'm trying to calm Pickpocket down and assure him he's going to be okay. It's going to be okay, guys. No need to live in fear.
