German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has caused a storm with incendiary remarks about immigrants being responsible for online violence against women.
“We must also address the fact that a significant proportion of this violence comes from groups of immigrants to the Federal Republic of Germany,”
Merz is a pig and a populist who is flailing about looking for distractions, but it’s also frustrating how much discussion on this stuff turns to left-wing people reflexively defending and making excuses for something that most people can clearly see is a problem in modern European cities, and that problem is coming from predominantly young, poor, male, muslim migrants in parts of cities that are quickly becoming ghettoized.
Often people will just say that European chirstians have a horrible history of abuse towards women, which is of course 100% true, but also not really relevant when the question is “do we want to let in more of these people into the country, or less?”
Is that the question though? What about the question, how do we make this place such a bastion of equality and women’s rights, that misogynists and bigots either really don’t want to come here or they (and their children) are readily deprogrammed and reprogrammed?
