Sorry I didn't follow this thread before the latest upheaval due to the Propagandocumentary and the German professors revealing racist bigotry, the case was simply too horrible for me to think about or be reminded of, even though I may be a Deemed Rapist per the latest BBC and Leipzig University / EU academic research. So I missed any diktats at the start of the thread. The 'case' is long closed, the convicts are in jail. So isn't it proper to discuss the above events as the "follow-up" here? The BBC-edited documentary and Leipzig hate-mails are direct follow-ups of this case, IMO.
The
Hitler Jugend (Hitler Youth) gave young Germans an identity, smart uniforms, discipline, training, self-confidence, great communication skills (The GESTAPO could make anyone talk, hain?) and the rest of the world many hilarious movies. However, Hitler and his associates also spread a message of hate and predatory license, directed against pretty-much everyone. Eventually,
this message of hate, based on ignorance, bigotry, sweeping generalization, is what the Hitler Jugend is remembered for. The emails, and the subsequent behavior of Professors and the President of Leipzig University, reveal the same attitudes, IMO.
Yes, they have been
BLAMING THE VICTIM. According to them, it was because some undergraduate got Frau Doktor Professor into an emailed discussion, that the professor expressed her underlying bigotry, sweeping generalizations, and hate for people who don't look like her or her FaceBook Friends. The President gratuitously attacked the student(s) as well, calling them liars, when it is perfectly clear that the gist of Professor Beckinger is very honestly represented in what was posted. Note that emails, unlike Gestapo Communications, are entirely voluntary.
They claimed it was "misquoted". Misquoted how? Did the professor actually say :
Some people say that Indian Men Are Rapists but I abhor such sweeping generalizations
Many European women faculty whom I know, also say that other people say thatIndian Men Are Rapists and they won't admit them to university education, but they are all shocked by such ignorance
If that is what happened, the university has had plenty of opportunity to produce those emails and let people judge for themselves. Somehow I don't think that is what the professor or the President did. So yes, they ARE properly and succinctly described as representing the essence of the
Hitler Jugend.
Being a woman does not make anyone more human, civilized or innocent. At least 49.9999% of the worst lying, back-stabbing, conniving, utterly unethical "faculty", managers, students, businesspeople etc, are female. The description "Piece of (pakistan)" has been used by others in moments of honesty to describe them, and I cannot think of better descriptors. How else does one succinctly describe someone who is a lying, back-stabbing, conniving, utterly unethical "faculty", manager, student, or businessperson or politician? Someone who has no redeeming qualities, is an utter waste of oxygen, that stinks up any environment where they are placed? It's not abusive language if it is fairly and accurately descriptive, is it?
Why is it not proper to describe someone from Germany, who personifies the mentality of the Hitler Jugend, also as Hitler Jugend? Isn't it actually a compliment to the youthful appearance and energy of the person? (JUST KIDDING!!)
From all that I see, the team from UQ who came and did the video "propagandoomentary" in question, all fit the above description very well, no sweeping generalization there. They violated all their agreements. The BBC's editing leaves no doubt as to their hate agenda.
As AmberG rightly points out, is there any civilized discourse that would stop these people from behaving in like manner again?
If I type names misspelled, my deepest
and sincere apologies, I must msut be dyslexic or just too careless. After all, we ARE talking about people who are utterly devoid of any evidence sense of human decency, hain?
