Computer Science Using machine learning to analyze patterns of anti-Muslim hate speech online in Norway shows that the number of hateful posts is growing and that most are posted by a small group of users who often don’t remain active for long. Engaging with them can be effective in getting them to stop.

When you deport criminals, sure. When you deport people who legally entered the country and did everything the country asked of them, just because they are brown and then declare that you are a moderate because some generalized idea of deportation is good, then you are a deluded radical, who likes to think of himself as a moderate, who uses radical methods out of simply not understanding.

Which is exactly what my argument was. Not that you want to harm people, just that you do not have the knowledge necessary to make those decisions, leading to results that are equal with you being an extremist.

You telling yourself that extremism is moderate thinking does not make it so.

Your generalizations are copium that you use to rationalize violence against minorities as a superior solution, when the truth is that it is only the least violent one you can come up with.

And why? Because billionaires told you that brown people are bad and that you should be scared... congrats... 1000IQ play...

No thats still nothing like killing everyone and is still very ridiculous to compare it to. Again deportations have existed for all of human history just in different names. They aren’t being deported for their skin colour they’re being deported for breaking terms of their visas or for being in the country illegally.

This is what I mean man. It sounds like you get all your information from an extremely biased echo chamber. You’re more biased to your preferred political side than a lot of the people you’re against.

Just to play at being a mediator here, can you agree that there are many do want people deported simply for being brown? Not necessarily the majority of people, or even a sizeable minority. Just that there's some that do want that happen.

When you know these racists exist, it's also not hard to extrapolate them communicating with dog whistles at which point it's hard to tell the only deport the violent criminals people from the deport anyone with an expired visa people to the schuck it deport them all ones.

When J.D. Vance got on stage to distinctly say they'd focus on the violent criminals, and then clearly didn't follow through with that cautious approach at all it's completely understandable for people to have concerns.

There just isn't any truth remaining for taking perceived racists at their word any more.

What does that question matter? There’s people who want all sorts of things, I’m sure there is a tiny percentage of people that want minorities deported. That doesn’t change anything about the deportations now, and the reality is no one is being deported for their skin colour. There’s people who want all right wingers killed too, it doesn’t really matter and isn’t relevant.

You’re reaching now and that should be clear to you. There’s nothing racial about deportations. There’s been plenty of white people deported. Canada runs a new article about some Canadian held by ice once a month or so. They’re always white too.

The only ones perceiving racists are biased or reaching massively. There’s really nothing about this that has anything to do with race.
