Of all the horror stories in Douglas Murray’s THE STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE, this was the most horrifying:
A victim of sexual assault lied about the ethnicity of her attackers because she—get this—didn’t want citizens to view the men who attacked her “as the problem.”
🧵 1/
Imagine the poor self image of a woman who would lie to the police to protect the public image of three men who assaulted her.
But it gets worse. Much worse. 👇
2/
In a nightmarish manifestation of Stockholm Syndrome, the woman says in her open letter:
“You’re not the problem. You’re usually a wonderful human being”
Tip: wonderful human beings don’t force women to perform sex acts on them.
And there’s still more…
3/
They’re no better or worse—they’re only different
“They are alone and looking to banish their humiliation of flight with confirmation of their masculinity.”
The left has been force-feeding the world these lies for decades.
Don’t dare argue, lest they call you ‘racist.’

Here’s a true thing:
Not all sexual assaults are committed by men of a certain ethnic group / nationality / religion.
Here’s another true thing:
When any crime is committed, the identify of the perpetrator should be reported.
INCLUDING ethnicity, religion, nationality.

Our anti-racist friends (AKA We The Undersigned) are all for reporting the correct sex of a criminal, often citing the importance of accurate statistics.
Is there less of a need for accuracy with respect to other demographic data?
6/
If we don’t want crime statistics to make it appear that women commit more crimes of a certain nature than they actually do, wouldn’t we also be concerned about statistics that make it appear that a particular group doesn’t commit FEWER crimes of that nature?

On top of the behaviour of victims who wish to protect their abusers in the name of ‘let’s all get along,’ we’re witnessing contradictory opinions with respect to accuracy in criminal records.
If you aren’t familiar with this recent manifestation of self-hoisting-by-petard à la française, Lionel Shriver wrote a column about it shortly after the squatters—er, invited guests—took over.
“theatre Gaité Lyrique staged a free conference on ‘reinventing the refugee welcome in France’. The organisers literally invited their own downfall: 200 West African migrants who apparently felt very welcome indeed and refused to leave”
Hi to all my ‘anti-racist’ friends who value free speech when it comes to saying men can’t be women, but not so much when it comes to saying anything hurty about Islam.
I’ve two words for you:
ENJOY THEOCRACY
🧵 1/
From Sainsbury ads to posh Belgravia hair salons to Harrod’s menus—
Ramadan is—apparently—all around us.
2/
Diwali—not so much. 🤷♀️
In other words, let’s cater to 6% of the population, but not 2%.
More thoughts on Douglas Murray’s STRANGE DEATH OF EUROPE.
Putting aside the myriad problems with unchecked immigration & the equally myriad arguments in support of such, let’s focus the second main facilitator in Europe’s demise:
🚫 ✝️ The abandonment of faith ✝️ 🚫
🧵 1/
😊 Full disclosure:
I am an atheist. Likely more of an anti-theist, to be perfectly clear. I do, however, have a strong background in Catholicism, and a broad education in theology (not limited to Christianity).
2/
⛪️ The argument for religion:
The more I hear Murray say that the West’s turning away from Christianity is a major factor in the power gain of another religion, the more distressed I am.
When Ayaan Hirsi Ali said she was a Christian, I was shocked. Not now. Now I get it.
Okay. It’s time to talk about the difference between
BANNING a book
&
Labeling a book INAPPROPRIATE for kids
Because, truly, I am sick of this wah-wah-wah-ing over the fact that some books, no matter how well written ore noteworthy, just aren’t meant for children.
The Big Five (translation: the entire publishing industry, effectively) has filed a lawsuit seeking to bar enforcement of Idaho HB 710, which requires books deemed ‘harmful to minors’ to be segregated in an adults-only area.
2/
Idaho HB 710 effectively states:
Public & school libraries shouldn’t let kids read certain books.
Sounds bad, right?
Now replace some of the words:
Movie theatres shouldn’t let kids watch certain movies.
If you were, say, an author of dystopian novels, you’d need look no further than the Free Speech Union’s weekly roundup of Evil Stuff That Actually Happened in the UK.
No gender ideology in this thread, but I think all my posts should mention trans stuff—just in case. 😉

Evil Thing # 1:
Former Royal Marine arrested for ‘publishing threatening material with intent to stir up racial hatred’ – a 12-minute Facebook video urging people to stage peaceful protests about illegal immigration
Happy ending: unanimously acquitted by jury in 17 minutes.
2/
Evil Thing # 2 (and # 3)
Greater Manchester Police arrests man who burned Koran pages AND releases his name and address.
No one outside of a theocratic state should be arrested for destroying a religious text.
