that's the current mindset

it's been building up for a few years now

the 2008 crisis

the 2011 refugee crisis

now we've got illeberal democracies and populism rising in Europe

and its sad

people are laughing at me thinking im paranoid when I tell them we're in danger

cuz what the france bombing

ppl used their 9/11 bias

to attack muslims again

the boston bombing

same thing

Everything happening is creating more and more divide between large groups of people, we can’t embrace our differences anymore it seems.

everything traces back to 9/11 origin of hate

9/11 was the beginning of war against terrorism

Whoa what did I just walk in on? Oxo

and you know what even gets me livid

I know, I shouldnt compare

and it was the start of people blatantly ignoring terrorism on their own homeland,it's... just.. ugh

but the death toll of 9/11 was what 300?

3000

Thousands of people

Ish

Yeah..

how many muslims have been attacked or killed since 9/11

syria

Dude, comparing deaths like this is just bad. In either case people died in horrible tragedies

nearly 10x that amount

I don't think the case here is to compare death counts

but ppl brush it off

I think they're just trying to explain how the issue is covered in news in western countries

Alright guys. Let's try and calm down on the political talk and the talk about past tragedies. It has such a huge risk of getting heated.

Find something more light hearted to talk about. We want to keep it peaceful.

sorry hawk but stuff like this hurts my soul cuz its like a piece of me died

wasnt tryna bring the mood down

So to change the subject:
I’ve literally gotten three scam calls from the same number this afternoon, it’s quite annoying

my bf got called 6 times at 1AM yesterday

by a scam caller too
