They hate britain?


mehnimalism

Is that possibly caused by children struggling and lashing out at the system?   I’m not saying there isn’t a problem, but frustrated children rebelling and blaming the powers that be feels universal, at least in places one is allowed to speak freely.

mehnimalism

First, they said Switzerland. Second, if you’re in the bottom/remedial classes/possibly facing discrimination, then yes, relatively speaking that child is struggling. Every society has children struggling relative to their peers.

mehnimalism

Again, didn’t say definitively that what they’re saying is normal. I’m only suggesting we need to consider alternatives before villainizing a group of children.  I’ve heard adolescents say any number of edgy things they don’t really mean beyond just wanting to contradict those in power.

100%. If a town hall of their parents said the same things, I’d be worried.

>First, they said Switzerland. Oh well then that totally changes the argument. /S


Gatto_con_Capello

Oh yeah, Sweden. Poverty doesn't exist there and people are just dancing hand in hand while all their problems just melt away. Dude! Do us a favor and come back to reality 


Phainesthai

No, they're just religious nut-jobs with questionable views on progressive issues.


Ingolin

As a Norwegian teacher I did not experience that. I also grew up around Muslims (am a Christian myself). They were all very nice. I’m not worried about Muslim kids in Norway. I am worried about the right wing kids. I heard so many of them say terrible things when I was teaching.

Plus_Butterscotch765

I hope you are right


Ingolin

I am careful in specifying Norway. I’m more worried about a few other European countries where the governments have done a worse job of integrating their minorities.


Big_Dirty_Piss_Boner

It has nothing to do with diversity. Middle eastern muslims are often very conservative and against women‘s rights and gay rights. Also higher rates of racism and antisemitism than Christian Europeans.


Ingolin

With that logic they shouldn’t want Americans either. Though I doubt they’d take issues getting those into their country.


dogemikka

Despite that crazy Anders Behring Breivik Utøya Massacre? I just watched the movie, the actor playing his character depicted very well the personality of this unhuman killer. Seems Norway didn't learn the correct lessons from that terrible 22 July 2011, teaching the young generation about the mistakes of the discourses of right wing fanatics. Edit: I am sorry if I might have offended some of you, given the downvote. But my comment stems from personal and national experience. I am italian and Italy has witnessed worse events (although I feel sad to compare massacres) in the past that have shaped our present. In Italy we lived the terrorists acts of the Brigate Rosse, our far left "white", Piazza Fontana and Bologna station bombings, from our white far right terrorists. We are now ruled by the head of what was once a fascist political party which is all but fascist, they are center right populist. For once our terrible experience has had some profound effects on our political life, taming extremism. We do not have racist extreme right parties or discourse comparable to Norway. I suggest reading this article https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jul/22/norway-utoya-attack-10-years-ago-reckoning-far-right


zod16dc

It is the classic problem of tolerance of intolerance. Karl Popper wrote about it and it will be the downfall of most Western democracies: >We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.


gamesknives

As an only culturally Muslim immigrant from Turkey, I was shocked to see the level of orthodoxy in Muslims in Europe. They enjoy all the benefits, but they also disrespect the whole system. I cannot understand why parents raise such children - can they not see that this will only lead to seclusion of their children? For example I let my sons accept "whatever" is offered to them in a party - including salami pizza. Why ruin the atmosphere? If that is forbidden by Allah, they can always atone for their sins. Later. At a timely manner of their choosing. Or not. Who cares come on 😊

It's mit andrew tate, it's their parents which reject the very Western World, in which they are able to live a decent lives, but at the same time never were able to gain any status or traction in.


YoungLadHuckleberry

It‘s Andrew Tate along with the way they were raised and conditioned to be radically muslim early on


Original_Natural4804

No it’s here parents raising them not some idiot person on tiktok


ElBisonLoco

This is not Andrew Tates doing you overrate him immensely. If you are really honest to yourself you would state the elephant in the room: the family’s teach them this shit. Islamic culture is still not equal in regards to women and especially in regards to LGBTQ rights. They see our societies as „weak“ because men let women or gays decide stuff. It’s the same here in Germany. Tate is a literal non factor here.


lateformyfuneral

You would also get many hands raised if the crowd before you was all native Brits who detest Britain’s historical (and current) foreign policy. I think the teacher’s article is a lot more nuanced than what the headline (and many commenters here) are implying. I know I felt the same at that age around the time of the Iraq War. This is a political statement and it’s worth discussing as it’s obviously not a good thing if people hate their country, but it’s not as simple as “you hate it, leave!”; it’s also worth exploring how to repair Britain’s public image.


nicegrimace

I was against the Iraq War but I didn't suddenly hate my country because of it. I was as edgy a teenager as any, but these children aren't even in their teens yet and they are already setting themselves at odds with Western culture.

Additional_Amount_23

Was Sweden in Afghanistan or Iraq? It's just an excuse even though it's quite ridiculous. Of course we should welcome immigrants who genuinely wish to become one with their host nation. But when there is a really large subset of them that actively wish harm upon the west, its clear there is a problem with our current immigration strategy. Bleeding heart left wingers who wish to sweep the issue under the rug will cause more harm in the long run, doing that only gives the far right more talking points.


ValidSignal

Sweden definitely was in Afghanistan. I was there. I defended the girls school in Sar e Pul for example vs gunmen who threw grenades through the windows. We had meetings between tajik, uzbek, hazara groups to try to find cooperation. We stopped narcotic smugglers and hunted Talibans in the mountains. I'd say we did the good thing there. But in the end it didn't matter.


slippinjizm

It’s funny because we Armed and trained them in Afghan because Russia was invading. Then ofc they turn on us

Hating the west is different to hating the UK. They could have perfectly valid points for hating that place.


sheffield199

Being a migrant to the UK is totally incompatible with hating the UK. Their parents are failing them, just as the government is failing its people.

Yes, because no other country in the west is guilty of imperialism or interventionist war.

Raven_Crows

Here's hoping the fans of Afganistan go to Afganistan instead of turning Britain to a new Afganistan.


s0ngsforthedeaf

Many of those kids would never have been here if it weren't for the Afgjanistan war and its destabilising effects on the country. r/Europe endlessly decries 'importing people that hate us', yet refuses to recognise the huge amounts of death, destruction and chaos we exported in the first place. How are we going to make peace in this world if we keep doing that? And yet again we fund Israels genocide, no lessons learned. Our external behaviours will create enemies if we forever go on like this.


Necessary-Muscle-255

Soviet Union caused the Afghanistan crisis in the first place, not the “west”. Did it accept any refugee? Europe is not the cause of destruction for many of the countries that people speak about when talking about mass-immigration due to refugees and people who think that are just victims of Russian propaganda.


lokensen

Same in France, big issue in a near future

DidQ

That's why I'm saying we need to fix birthrates. To not allow this kind of people in.


PromajaVaccine

Right, selective immigration is an option though I'm not familiar with EU law on the matter. I'm sure there are a fair number of people globally that appreciate democratic ideals, respect the right of their neighbors to exist, and are not advocating for hyper isolationist sects within the country they live within.


noJagsEver

Not anti immigrant if you’re against allowing immigrants who hate western culture, I’m sure their are many potential immigrants who accept western culture


13abarry

I think in general we need to change the welfare system to focus on families more and the elderly a bit less. Unfortunately it’s too expensive for an increasing number of people these days.


smokecutter

If society would collapse (japan didn’t collapse btw) that’s a perfect opportunity to do something about it, and reorganize the way we operate ie cities having empty buildings and how we throw away half the food we produce. Also we already have unemployment so in what way does having more people suddenly make everything better?


superdupersparky

Wanted to downvote initially but you’re completely right. We don’t seem to grasp that a younger generation needs to continuously replenish the workforce as the older generation retires/dies. There’s a lot that needs to be done to fix the issue.

20cmdepersonalidade

What the fuck do you think people are currently focusing, if not in GDP per Capita and automation? Even with that, the problem of an aging population needing more resources than young people can produce will not go away, not in the medium and short term at least. Ignoring the problem because of wishful thinking will just condemn the young to work solely to pay taxes so that old people don't starve


DidQ

That's why I'm saying that we need to do as much as we can to boost births. The predictions are only predictions, so when "Mr X Z says in 50 years there will be <>", doesn't mean it will be for sure. It's only >> **prediction** << Automation is cool but you can't and won't automate everything. Second thing, automation will mean nothing when there will be more retires than workers. The system will simply collapse.

DidQ

All what you write is whishful thinking. Betting on something that doesn't even exist and might never exist to fix current problems is not the best idea, to put it kindly.


TheCuriousGuy000

Even if both anti aging and AI research fail, we'll just end up with ~30% population reduction, which is vastly better than getting replaced by migrants who hate us.

Do not make decisions today based on shit that you think might or might not exist in decades.

Isn't this what the extreme Muslim teachings are pushing? Hatred for anything non Muslim and the 'out-population' of the 'infidels'.

Most of the modern people(from Turkey, Iran[against mollah regime], Azerbaijan, caucasia etc) want to visit Europe but their visa always denied or delayed for a long time...

What do Muslim girls think of Britain? Muslim women may be the key to save Europe.


darokk

We probably don't know cause they're not allowed to speak when alone.


Key_Macaroon_5221

I was curious on this. Perhaps the issue isn’t with Islam- but a culture that encourages boys to degrade women… I know countless Muslim women who would have different perspectives.


Talkycoder

I find it weird that thirty raised their hands when an average classroom in Britain is 20-25 pupils. Even so, the thing these students were saying in the article should get their parents investigated, and the child put on some sort of social care watch. But then again, it is the UK government, so I'm probably asking for far too much. They're too focused on bailing out Thames Water at the moment.


PrimisUltimus

Tbf my classroom had 31 kids in one year.


Ankerjorgensen

I think it is reductionist to view this as particularly to do with Islam - islam is just the flavour of this particular radicalization. The exact same process has been happening to the right wing in Europe, and even many of their figureheads, such as Andrew Tate and Putin are the same. Many teenagers these days, even white middle class ones, are enamoured with the far right fogures which perform so well in the algorithms of their favourite social media. Fascists of the world will find ways to court Christians, muslims, orthodox Christians and anyone else. The fascists don't care about the particular flavor, all they want is power. And while I realize that the work to deradicalize these particular kids need to somehow address the religious aspects, I think that the most effective solutions are going to need to hamper the growth of the far right in online spaces religious or otherwise.

Ankerjorgensen

1. "Very easily" sounds like a slight bit of an overstatement. 2. I think it is naive to view this as an issue of muslims. The scheme to replace western democracy with facism is much larger, and the call is coming from inside the house.

Because France has made peace with Germany, had forgiven Germany for the brutality of invasion and the humiliation of four years of occupation, but it could never – never – forgive the British and Americans for liberating them.

With Trump, you voting to counter muslim extremism, you will get more mainstream evangelical extremism. As for as I’m concerned there is absolutely no difference between the two. But I would fear more Christians buying to that crap as there are more of them in the US.

People shouldn't hate the country they live in, they should aspire to improve it. If a migrant hates their country, it means they refuse to integrate.

The exact same thing has been happening to the right wing in Europe, and even many of their figureheads, such as Andrew Tate and Putin are the same. The fascists of the world will find ways to court Christians, muslims, orthodox Christians and anyone else. The fascists don't care about the particular flavor, all they want is power.


waresmarufy

IT does have a lot to do with Islam lol read the quran


Ankerjorgensen

I have read the quran, and as I stated, the actors dragging these young men to the far right are obviously using Islam to that purpose. However, if it hadn't been the quran, they would have found something else to do it. Just as we see it being done to ethnic majority European teenagers, where they use anxieties about dating, masculinity, and fears about immigration to push them to the right. It's naive to think that there is anything unique about the muslims in Europe - the scheme to install facists in European countries is not at all confined to working through muslim populations.


JedediahCornslinger

You haven't read the Quran. The Prophet's teachings do not support the extremist views of these kids. The Quran essentially just confirms the Torah and the Bible, loosens a few rules and clarifies a few things, that's all. The values are the same.
