Reacted like the atypical wokey, desperate to be offended on behalf of others and I'm the Muslim!! Try reading the fucking thing and you will clearly see where the problem lies. Ie Governments and lack of provision. The EU and western genocide in the ME and central Asia at the root of much of the problem. Migration at all levels must be controlled and managed and adequate provisions made available in health, food, clothing and shelter, along with education and integration. Otherwise you end up with shit show you are seeing across the western world and all communities losing out, but oh FFS let me be offended first. Too many too quick to believe the daily round of propaganda levelled and as for woke fuckers, the most divisive morons on the planet that add fuel to the problem. While you did well to shoehorn in ‘woke’ and ‘offended’, you let yourself down by failing to use either ‘snowflake’ or ‘libtard’. Rather than simply reusing buzzwords in the same post; aim to add more variety. That will help those of us playing along at home to complete our bingo cards earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not read or heard of it I’m afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a true story, closer to a biography but basically a young student studying sociology is given a mapped area of no go zones as the college is in Chicago, one day he ventures out to the no go zones, essentially a project block and gets held up by gun point, he returns the next day and makes friends with one of the gangs leaders and he spends 7 years or something just hanging out with this gang and is embraced like one of their own, he's obviously documenting stuff as it happens and adding his non gangster experience, elements of it overlap with economics and it's been featured in other books about "gang economics". 96% rating from google. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
