Well John, they believed the liberal nonsense that people like you helped espouse during your heyday. Remember how subversive Monty Python was to institutions that kept traditional morays alive? Don't get me wrong, it was funny, but the entire media establishment are responsible for promoting all of the shit who's consequences we are now fully immersed in.
The entire modern world uses crude oil and we aren't about to stop now. We use it for EVERYTHING. All organic chemistry, every single reaction uses some chemical derived from oil with a benzene ring at it's core. All plastics, tarmac, concrete, tires, all clothing (even the stuff made ofnmatural fibres uses tools and transport made from or using oil) fertiliser made from natural gas using the haber process, all mining, all metal refining, all silicon chips, fibre optics, medicine, transports, cable insulation, power lines, refrigerant gases solar panels, batteries ALL of it uses oil or gas in its manufacture. So the question isn't use oil or don't use oil, its spend money buying it from other nations or drill and explore our own wells. Even if you want to transition to some as yet technically infeasible post oil future, it will take trillions of barrels of oil to get there. That's why Zack is retarded, and that's why being "against oil" is a reductionist position that appeals to emotionally driven morons who don't live in the real world.
@ChezCheshire@donkywalloper@GetAngus@ZackPolanski Firstly, I haven't made my position on climate, clear, just that the policy of drilling for our own hydrocarbons is a good idea because it's a critical resource, which is what Zack has a problem with.
@dantechpro@345qt@zannymb@elonmusk@andrewrsorkin No they weren't. She is a propagandist. Literally characterising huge swathes of the population as far right extremists, when they are nothing of the sort. She is using labels to demonise people like all propagandists do.
Yes, you listen to the consensus, but because you aren't a scientist you have no way to confirm or deny the information you are being told. What that means is, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about and yet you want to project your opinion across the internet. Science is not concensus based, its evidence based, and all throughout scientific history, the consensus has turned out to be wrong, and that's how science progresses.
@JackMac_82@delta_geezer@dave43law Yes - these are exactly the mental gymnastics you are doing to protect yourself from cognitive dissonance and the belief that people from different parts of the world are all the same and different cultures are all equal and produce equal outcomes.
The nations that do publish stats by ethnicity like Sweden and Denmark show a massive over representation by foreign men. We have a good control group - Poland. Poland has not allowed mass.immigration and their rape rates are extremely low and have stayed low while all the nations who have allowed mass migration have seen huge increases in rates of rape and sexual assault over the period since mass migration began.
Oh of course. Yes, that's it. The increase from 1997 when mass.migration started leapt from around 8000 rapes per year to 74000 just because of reporting. This is fucking retarded.
Here is the data for Sweden because they actually publish the breakdown by ethnicity
The same.pattern is seen in Denmark too.
**Swedish conviction data and independent analyses of court judgments show clear overrepresentation of foreign-born (especially non-European) men among those convicted of gang/group rape (gruppvåldtäkt), relative to their population share.** Native Swedish men (Swedish-born with two Swedish-born parents) are underrepresented. Official statistics from BRÅ (Brottsförebyggande rådet) document broader overrepresentation in sexual offenses; specific gang-rape breakdowns come primarily from media reviews of court records and academic studies of convictions.
### SVT Uppdrag Granskning (2018)
SVT reviewed all Swedish district court convictions for rape or attempted rape over roughly five years (around 2012–2017), covering 843 offenders:
- Overall: 58% foreign-born (majority from outside Europe); nearly 40% from the Middle East or Africa.
- Group rapes specifically: 70 of 94 convicted offenders were born outside Europe.
- Stranger/assault rapes (överfallsvåldtäkt): 110 of 129 foreign-born, of whom 97 were born outside Europe. In stranger cases overall, the foreign-born share exceeded 80%.
These figures cover only convicted individuals (a small share of reported cases, given low clearance rates). SVT noted that conclusions cannot be drawn about all perpetrators.
### Independent Court Judgment Reviews
Joakim P. Jonasson’s review of roughly 4,000 sexual offense judgments (primarily 2012–2017 period) found:
- Approximately 90% of group rapes involved men of non-European origin.
- Swedish men (Swedish-born of Swedish parents) accounted for about 6.7% of group-rape participants in the examined period.
- Afghans were heavily overrepresented (roughly one in four group-rape participants in the data). Similar patterns appeared for violent/“gross” rapes, with non-European origin men accounting for the large majority.
An Aftonbladet review of group-rape convictions around the same period found roughly three-quarters (82 of 112) of convicted offenders born outside Europe, with Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia among the most common origins after Sweden.
### Academic Conviction Studies
A Lund University study (Khoshnood et al., published ~2025, covering rape convictions 2000–2020, n ≈ 4,032 cases matched to controls) found:
- Only 36.9% of convicted individuals were Swedish-born with two Swedish-born parents (versus 69.5% of matched population controls).
- 50.6% were foreign-born; overall, about 63% had an immigrant background (foreign-born or Swedish-born with at least one foreign-born parent).
- Odds of conviction were substantially elevated for immigrant-background groups versus the native Swedish reference (e.g., OR ≈ 4.6–6.3 for foreign-born arriving at age 15+, depending on model). Odds remained elevated (though reduced) after adjustment for socioeconomic status, substance use, psychiatric disorders, and prior criminality—particularly for those arriving later in adolescence/adulthood.
An earlier latent-class analysis of Swedish rape offenders (convictions ~2000–2015) similarly found a majority with immigrant background.
### BRÅ Official Data on Sexual Offenses
BRÅ’s 2021 report (2021:9) on registered offending by background (age-standardized) shows foreign-born individuals with elevated risk for sexual offenses relative to Swedish-born with two Swedish-born parents (roughly 2.1× overall for first-generation; higher, around 2.7×, for non-European origins). Second-generation (Swedish-born with two foreign-born parents) also shows elevated risk, though lower than first-generation for some categories. Foreign-born and those with foreign background form a disproportionate share of suspects relative to population shares.
That didn't mean men were just raping their wives all the time. How many of the 74,000 rapes we now have per year were committed by husbands. This is such an idiotic take. The actual reason for anyone who hasn't had their brain fried by progressive propaganda is the that we have imported millions of men from regions and who hold an ideology where they believe that women are literal property.
@peinits@jessiej4769@dave43law Ah yes, of course. It can't possibly be that we've imported millions of men from rapey cultures that think women are male property and that immodest women deserve it? No, can't possibly be that.
@afcyaniss@dave43law Imagine being so retarded, that you think men from regions where women are literal property, are going to come here end masse and just magically sniff the English air and turn into liberal progressive feminists. You must have had a fucking lobotomy.
Imagine being so ideologically captured that your entire worldview has collapsed into a binary outlook of left vs right. So much so that you literally can't look at anything without immediately defaulting to the groupthink of your chosen side. I think reform are a bunch of grifters, just like labour are. None of these politicians give a fuck about you, or me or the tripe they peddle - they work for the banks and lobby groups. Mass immigration is a tool for cheap labour and to keep house prices high and everyone fighting. You are just swallowing it all up like a good little sheep. Go and look at the middle East and Africa, and as k yourself if you want what those people have built in their own nation replicated here? Do you WANT women to be the property of men? That's what they believe in much of the middle East.
@JackMac_82@delta_geezer@dave43law I'm sure they do. I'm going to go with the clear pattern matching all across Europe and the testimony of the rape gang victims that the government tried desparately to cover up.
What facts are you stating? Look at the rape stats in Sweden or Denmark by ethnicity. Also why do Muslims males make up 18% of the UK prison population despite being only around less than 3% of the total population? Explain that to me if you don't mind - I'd like to see what kind of mental gymnastics you're capable of.
