generally when people say "MOVE YER ASS" they're asking you to get out of the way because they're annoyed, not asking you to dance because they like you. Just fyi
how can you so casually shatter my carefully constructed self-deception?

Um no because the non-muslim culture is dominant. These persecuted immigrants have established de facto sovereignty over their residential areas and by challenging white, atheistic hegemony (like the guys in these videos) they are expressing their pride and their refusal to accept provocation by the majority.
sounds like a defense of israel 2 me

discipline posted:intersectionality, unlike what most freaks on the internet will tell you, is actually very helpful to understanding these sorts of situations:
a french person has national privilege over an algerian person
a white person has race privilege over a person of color
a rich person has class privilege over a poor person
a man has sex and usually gender privilege over a woman
Sofie Peeters is Belgian/French, the catcalling immigrants are North African/Maghreb/Algerian: 1 point Immigrants
Sofie Peeters is white, the immigrants are people of color: 1 point Immigrants
Sofie Peeters is rich and has supreme class privilege over the poor, African Muslim immigrants: 1 point Immigrants
Sofie Peeters is female. The immigrants are male: 5000 points Sofie Peeters. Flawless Victory

there was a news broadcast a couple days ago where the police union was threatening a strike if there wouldn't be a "strong response" after some youths in brussels threw some rocks and broke the window of a patrol car. it was hilarious. the guy was literally saying "we have to strike back now, they're testing us, this is organised, if we don't fight back now they'll soon control the whole city", etc. the police in brussels mostly consists of fresh, white recruits from outside of brussels coming there for their training so they learn how to fear and harass the mostly poor, mostly immigrant population. its p. fucked up.
