Charlie Hebdo attack, v 2.0

Defending the indefensible

[BASNAK]

Very good Loumbard. You just keep posting shit like qoutes and verses and don't even control your sources. I spend time looking up your shit just to find it is incorrect and skewed. And what do you do? You just ignore and fucking post more shit.

[Teeth]

I love how on the news today this event was covered for about 15 minutes straight, and right after about 30 seconds were devoted to 2.000 Nigerians that were killed by Islamist movement Boko Haram.

BASNAK, your common sense has no place in this thread, this is just a circlejerk, you don't fit here.

Duh people care, but only of those that they want, those africans don't matter, if you asked, lots of people could only tell you that Nigeria is probably a country in Africa, no idea about much more.

Who cares, Islam is peace according to the apologists.

Oh my, of course, how could I have not seen it?! The answer is once again "RACISTS!". Because no one has ever heard of Boko Haram before. The internet totally didn't blow up about it with the whole "Bring back our girls" thing. The only reason no one is talking about them now is because they're africans, and everyone knows africans are worthless inferiors, yes.  It's not because this type of shit happens there ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
Hey did you not here about yet another suicide bombing in Pakistan? http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/09/us-pakistan-explosion-idUSKBN0KI20420150109
WHAT ARE YOU, RACIST? DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT PAKISTANIS?
Stupid fucking cunt. Go ahead and make a thread then. Oh, what? You only cared about this insofar as you could use it to suggest slyly other people are racists? What a surprise.

I mentioned it because I think the overreaction to events such as these is huge. That is really the only threat that terrorism poses to Western society. The willingness of governments to take measures that sacrifice fundamental Western values like freedom and privacy as a reaction to terrorism, without these measures having any significant impact on the threat of an attack. The overreaction to terrorism makes terrorism an effective weapon.

I know right, those things happen like every month anyway.

The Charlie Hebdo attack is a much more powerful symbol. 4 of the victims were in the top ten of French language satire. It's extremely obvious the only target was freedom of speech. That's why this attack gets even more attention than random public transport bombings in western countries. That's also why this is an important subject for debate. Some people just plainly don't understand the value of freedom of speech. That is a major problem and without this event most other people would not be aware of that. With the mixed reactions it becomes increasingly obvious that political correctness is a disease that needs to be dealt with.

I think that the "great" thing about this event is that the issue of freedom of speech overshadows everything else. Whereas when random people die the only way to make an interesting story for the media is via fear mongering. In this case, the widespread support is all about freedom. It's not an overreaction.

[lombardsoup]

What is the proper reaction?  Forget stepping over the line, we're no where close to it.  Can't screen, can't profile.  Any potential solution is categorized as over-reactive and nothing ends up being done.

For pepe. Minute of silence in high schools turns extremely predictable for anyone who's actually been to a public high school in the past decade or so.
Enjoy it when your kids are gonna get in there, it's gonna be just a fantastic adventure of tolerance and harmony.

This, this is gold. This needs to be reported far and wide.

By the way I don't know where pepe lives exactly, but I can feel the pain if he's unlucky. In Belgium we used to be able to choose schools freely and it's still somewhat true despite a five year constant law change circus that isn't even over.

By the way while we're at it, don't you find it hilarious how the American SJWs seem to have no idea about Charlie Hebdo's comics which weren't related to Islam? Strange right?

BASNAK you just became my personal forum hero!
Even facing total ignorance you take the time to confront stupidity with knowledge.
WHat makes a hero is him fighting a fight unlikely to be won.
This is what you do.
I salut.

Could you please elaborate this for non-french speakers?

Indeed.  Good satirists hit all targets (Christian, Jewish, etc), yet there's a portion of people in this country angry at Charlie Hebdo's depictions of Muhammad etc.

This sums up US media pretty good
