This place and its rules, for which we fought for the last 25 years must be preserved - even though and because of the difficult times we are now experiencing.
Oh so they want to preserve their club culture after all, fancy that. What about your country your dumb fucks? You know, the one that allowed you to have said rules to begin with. Imbeciles....

Great point. With all of the bullshit in that article (letter?) I didn't pick up on that.

And the country is suffering the same fate as their faggy club - and for the same reasons.
Worse, actually. The club can be closed or they can call the cops. What will they do when the country descends into chaos?

I stopped reading after the second paragraph.
How the much out of fucking touch do you have to be to not understand that foreigners (non-European)with no connection or love of your land will not respect it?
That they will not magically adjust their thoughts, actions, and beliefs to match the land they are in?
It's quite hilarious. Open border activists like to talk about destroying borders and an open world, yet they cannot grasp how people from a different part of the world (outside their own border) act completely different?
Borders were made to assert this distinction...fucking fools.

They realize they don't want to sound racist, and they don't want to associate with the people who are racist, and they don't want identical words coming out of their mouths, mainly so the racists can't say 'I told you so!'
This is also why the Left fights so very hard to control the language. These people are hurt, they're upset, they're confused, and they are completely deficient in an ability to express themselves. They literally do not know how to speak the words they want to speak. They have hit a wall of cognitive dissonance, and this is the first stage of the wake-up. They know they were wrong, but they can't admit it yet. Pride is in the way.
Pride is only going to take them so far though. Sooner or later, they have to admit just how much they have failed here. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But it's coming, and when it does there is going to be a lot of death.

Can we please get people with some sense to the forefront of our cultures and society please?
In harder times most of these people would have been weeded out of the gene-pool. It will happen in the times that are coming.

"Don't want to be called racist"
ffs lol...
[–] Cant_Call_It 1 point 5 points 6 points (+6|-1) ago
It is though. Well, calling a spade a shovel because all shovels dig. The thing is racism isn't a bad word. It's in our fucking nature to want to be around people that are similar to ourselves.
[–] FashGordon 1 point 2 points 3 points (+3|-1) ago
There's nothing wrong with racism. It's normal, and what these idiots are trying to do is unnatural.

This person is torn in their head. There's an ongoing moral and rational fight and the rational part is gaining ground. A psychiatrist would have a field day with this individual.
This story is from the management's perspective. We don't get to hear from the victims

One step forward, two steps back
During the summer of 2015 citizens (males and females) were welcoming the refugees arriving at Munich's central train station with cake and teddy-bears. Meanwhile the Saxon mob remembered the 90's and attacked the immigrants (males and females) and the refugee centers both verbally and physically. As a consequence of this, the Plenum of Conne Island decided to join the "Wave of Welcoming Culture" and actively open the location to refugees. In order to make the attendance more appealing, refugees were offered a special entry fee of just 50¢. Furthermore, integration activities started being organized in Conne Island, like skating and bicycling workshops, and German classes. It felt great - we didn't want to stay behind of the overwhelming helpfulness of the German civil society. With the feeling of doing the right thing and confronting the men and women of LEGIDA, the plenum was very concerned for a short while, that we weren't able to reach the refugees fast enough with our offer. In this hurry, we put aside the fact that offering almost free entry to all our events brings some risks with it. Partying together in Conne Island to achieve the integration of young refugees turned out to be a very naive plan. It wasn't enough to place posters during the parties indicating the correct behavior in several languages. Apparently, to explain them the rules of the house and possibilities of participation is a lot more challenging than we thought. We obtained this hindsight very late and thus we were exposed to several unfortunate situations.
Groups of encircling men are amongst the most disliked and - in certain cases - feared by women, lesbians, gays and transgender from any part of the world. It doesn't matter if they are Syrians, Connewitzers, Ghanians , Eilenburgers, Leutschers or Russians, they all have the same in common: the make sexual comments - it doesn't matter if the comments are derogatory or flirty - and sometimes even touch the women that cross their way. On top of their overestimation and lack of social behavior, the take alcohol and other drugs, play loud music, and in the confusing setting of a night club, the relaxing dancing night is promptly turned into running the gauntlet. Those who already experienced being groped in the crotch or were stolen using the dancing trick now think twice whether spending the Saturday night at home watching Netflix isn't a better alternative to the intrusive stares, the comments and groping. This applies even for women that are able to defend themselves and don't feel inferior to men.
Conne Island as well as other clubs of the left spectrum engage in a proactive entry-policy to combat sexism and other discrimination forms on the dancing floor. In Conne Island there has been a support group for victims of sexual violence for several years.
The strongly authoritative and patriarchal socialization in some of the refugees' homelands together with the freedom of the western (party) culture form an explosive mixture. Sexistic flirting and physical attacks have become a common thing in Conne Island and other clubs - also with the consequence that female guests stopped visiting us in order not to be attacked. At this point we have to ask ourselves, if we as a plenum were solidarily enough with the victims.
It also came to our attention that many foreign-looking young men were abusing the "Refugee-50" to gain access to the club in large numbers during the weekends just to cause troubles. The controlling of their refugee status at the entrance is not possible most of the time, and we have no desire to do it either.
The resolution of conflicts during our events is severely obstructed by the language barrier and the lack of confidence the security personnel has when dealing with the migrants since they fear being called racists. We experienced a new quality of incidents - mostly independently of the number of guests (male and females) or the kind of event. Uncommonly for us, the police had to be called more than once, when the scale of physical violence against the security personnel went out of control. Because of this excess, we even thought about stopping our activities for a while. The plenum knew, we could not apply double standards. Sexist, homophobic, racist or antisemitic behavior won't be accepted and cannot be justified by the origin or socialization of a person. The operators of Conne Island and similar projects are faced with the fact that very often uninvolved people turn into a problem. When the security staff escorts out a misbehaving refugee, people often act in an antiracistic impulse and interferes with the security, playing the sexual attacks down ("How could he know, that we treat women differently here?")
It is very difficult for us to explicitly explain our problems, since we don't want to appear racists like the AfD and CDU/CSU. However, the situation is so bad, and wearing for many of the victims and the operators (men and female) of Conne Island that expressing it with words doesn't seem to be appropriate. We think that an internal discussion about this issue within the left party is long due and we don't want to concede the sovereignty of interpretation to the right wing. Several attempts at this in cooperation with other clubs and the Institute of the Future (IfZ) have failed because it's so difficult for most hosts (male and females) to find the right words without agreeing with the racist tenor.
The plenum has spent several months looking for solutions to protect women and LGBTQ while offering a possibility for integration at the same time. As a consequence, we increased the security personnel early in 2016 - especially during dancing events - which also forced us to increase the entry price by 1€ per ticket. The 50¢ rule was modified: from now on, only the refugees who previously registered at the website obtained the reduced price, all the rest must pay the normal entry fee. This solution brought us some relief, but no one was entirely satisfied with it. The discussions about this are far from finalized and the decision taken up to now will be revised according to the developments.
The help call of the alternative-left club White Rabbit in Freibug at the beginning of the year and the reactions of the media and left circles show very clearly how difficult it is to act in solidarity with the refugees, to counter the right-wing sentiment but at the same time to admit that carrying a "Refugee Welcome" tag doesn't automatically solve all the problems and conflicts. The fact is and remains, that sexual attacks, antisemitic, racist and otherwise discriminatory behavior won't be tolerated in Conne Island. Every person who doesn't respect our house rules will be escorted out - independently of his/her origins. This place and its rules, for which we fought for the last 25 years must be preserved - even though and because of the difficult times we are now experiencing.

Sounds like the pendulum swing to the left is just about done.

The left will read this and become depressed. The depressed will read this and become nationalists.
The Left is almost finished.

This is the endgame of regulating speech. Exactly as written in "1984": the words to express wrongthink will be eradicated from language, crippling people's ability to express their dissent.

You gotta give credit to the brainwashing though, they legitimately thought putting a bunch of fags and scantily dressed sluts together with a horde of Sub-Saharan Africans would result in them forming a circle and singing Kumbaya. I wonder how many cases of sexual assault and violence had to happen before one of them got the courage to point out that the emperor has no clothes.

Really brightened up my day.

This expresses the whole psychology in a nutshell. Nothing about thinking. Just about feeling morally superior.
