It's 2017 and president Donald Trump has just moved into the white house. Trump has concluded that there are way too many books in America and asks you anon, as a literary expert, what books should be burnt. He's impatiently waiting for your answer.

If the populist right really did take over Islamic extremists wouldn't be in Europe. Immigration is roundly supported by the left, who are for the most part too afraid of being xenophobic to think critically about the issue. Right wingers are often retards, yes, but as long as they restrict the size of the government to make more people starve they're probably doing more good than harm.

I would argue that, because of SJW's, in this day and age, a rape can be anything from an unwanted stroke to the extreme images we have always had of it. I can't help but think that most cases of rape that spwaned from the rise of immigrants are merely unwanted behaviour that has been commited due to the unkown lowering of these critea by the immigrants from a different land.
Sure many extreme situations may also have occured but how many of the reports were just some refugee trying to hold a pretty girls hand as she walked by?

This was a deplorable event, but if you had actually been in Britain at the time you'd know that this was not due to the recent immigration crisis - but was by a group of people that had lived there most of their lives.

In Sweden this actually holds a grain of truth, but in most European countries this is simply not the case. You're not getting slapped with a rape charge unless you're forcing your dick into some sort of orifice.
>>8556219
> but if you had actually been in Britain at the time
I've lived in Britain my entire life
>but was by a group of people that had lived there most of their lives
It was by members of a community that comprised both people born in Britain and recent immigrants.
>It was not a case of foreigners raping whites
It was absolutely a case of immigrants (and their descendants) raping whites. Whites were disproportionately the victims in Rotherham.

Try reading the words. The comment I responded to started "I don't think anyone could watch and say" and was in that sense bullshit.
