Those comparisons of yours are really unfortunate. No, this is not comparable to the woman abused by the husband. This is not an individual story. And the reason why it spreads to Brussels but not Amsterdam or Madrid is culture. Culture, not just language and definetely not the level of police abuse. And this culture of violence should not be understood but fought.
It was an analogy in a vain attempt to make you understand how lashing out works, and how your condescending and paternalistic attitude is absurd - but I should’ve known you’re too thick-skulled to even try to get it.
And yeah wow, social movements spread faster when people have more in common? Thanks for the insight, fam. Like yeah, that’s god damn obvious and I’m not sure why you think this is some sort of gotcha. It hit home for so many people in Brussels because they share a lot of the same problems, while having the same cultural background and speaking the same languages. You’re so close to getting why these riots spread to Brussels, but above all you just want to be mad about the violence.
I understand your frustration with and anxiety about these riots, but you’re letting those feelings keep you from grappling with the how and the why of these riots. Unless you try to show some understanding, I see no reason to continue this conversation.
Seriously dude read your own comments, read your tone and then think again who’s being “condescending and paternalistic” ffs. You believe so much in your moral superiority that you don’t even see it, do you? Jeez, that’s the level of lunacy…
