Found this on a non-woke commie forum:
I'm Scottish so we don't really have the same issues as in England due to the much lower rate of immigration but I'm honestly not remotely surprised that any of this is unfolding.
Imagine you're a young, white English boy - you're born to a poor, uneducated family in a former industrial town in the north that's in managed decline, you live in a former council estate with your mum (she's an office cleaner) and dad (he works in a warehouse) where practically everyone else is just as equally as poor and uneducated which obviously means that living with constant antisocial behaviour from your neighbours is the norm.
Everybody around you has a shit, minimum wage job (if they have a job at all) and everyone struggles to properly support their families, the highlight of most people's week is going to the flat-roofed pub in your estate and drinking cheap beer until you don't have to think about your shit life too much.
You've grown up hearing stories about how hundreds of people used to make a decent enough wage working in the steel mill but that's all long gone now, what little industry remains in the area was stacked with poor Poles and Lithuanians years ago and wages haven't recovered since.
You're just out of high school at 16 and work a menial minimum wage job in the nearby warehouse where your dad works, your school didn't really have enough teachers to help you with your problems (and your parents didn't care enough to help) and the few that did teach weren't particularly good at it so you got out as soon as legally possible, none of this mattered anyway because it was practically impossible to take education seriously when you grew up in an environment where the education system was treated with suspicion at best but generally just outright derision from everyone around you.
You know that the government is fully aware that you as a poor, white boy were statistically going to have the worst educational attainment in the country but it's politically inconvenient for them to do anything about it so they continue to ignore the problem in a way that they didn't ignore it when it was women and minorities that were experiencing the same problems (even when they were experiencing it to a lesser degree).
You see new housing being built nearby and you know that you'll never be able to afford any of the homes there, you see that the council has mandated that there are a certain number of council houses or 'affordable' homes built (read: still not affordable for you) but much like the last few housing estates that were built, these homes go directly to immigrants or junkie wasters and not people like you, you ponder that maybe if you knocked up your high school ex-girlfriend at the age of 14 you'd be in line for a home soon.
You wish you had a way out but you didn't perform well at school and even if you did there was no way you were going to be able to afford to go to university, if you were black or a woman there are plenty of scholarships, sponsorships and opportunities out there but alas you're a white male so you don't get any of that (you're apparently too privileged).
Crime isn't uncommon around you and you see the people that you live next to and people that you went to school with in and out of jail for theft, drugs, vandalism and a litany of other petty crimes alongside a healthy dose of violent crime which is met with swift punishment time and time again for the same repeat offenders that terrorise everyone.
You turn on the news and you see similar crimes being committed by others, this time they are brown and black, but they get a level of support and understanding that people like you just don't get, the media says that they are just trying to make their voices heard and that they are standing up against injustice - you wonder about the injustices that you face? Why does nobody care? Why do they just get a slap on the wrist when Steve across the road got 4 years for doing the same thing?
You remember the teacher that chased from his family home by Muslims because he showed a picture of Mohammed to his class and the autistic boy that received death threats because he accidently dropped a Quran on the ground. What happened with all of that, you wonder.
TV largely seems foreign to you, there is never anybody that sounds or acts like you on TV bar the occasional episode of 'Jeremy Kyle' or 'Call the Bailiffs Time to Pay Up' where people like you are the punchline. You notice that a disproportionate number of the people on TV are black (despite making up 3% of the population) and you're told that it's extremely important that they have positive role models, you start to wonder why you aren't offered the same courtesy but you know why.
You feel like you and the people around you don't have a voice, most people around you are apathetic at best when it comes to voting but everyone is happy to give their tuppence when the topic arises. The area used to be a Labour heartland when the mines and the steelworks were in full swing a few decades ago but most people around you seem to vote for the Tories now because they at least pretend to give a shit even if they never follow through with their promises, politicians like Farage are the only ones that ever acknowledge your problems.
You feel that the Labour party has all but abandoned people like you in order to pander to Guardian-reading office workers and minorities in London, every time you hear Labour supporters talk about the most pressing issues affecting the country it's always something about helping the gays or helping women, they call people like you 'privileged' and tell you how you need to step aside and let women and the LGBT community take the reigns (maybe they've added new letters, you can't keep up), you are told that your time at the top oppressing them is over and it's their turn now.
When you discuss this with your friends over a pint on Friday night they joke that maybe if you liked sucking cock or prancing around in a dress with lipstick on then they'd maybe you'd get thrown a bone from Labour and a cushy charity job out of it, you laugh but can't help believe that they are right.
You see these groups have help heaped upon them by the government and charities whilst knowing that your turn will never come and nobody ever stands up for you until one day you stumble across a group on Facebook that's full of people in the same situation as you, people that are finally willing to stand up and protest to make themselves heard.
They are having a rally nearby so you and your mates decide to attend with your Saint Georges Cross in tow, the media is there and you finally get to make your voice heard for the first time in your life, you stand with hundreds of other lads just like you who all want to be heard.
You head back home after a few hours and a few pints, some people were starting to kick off and you've got work tomorrow so you don't want to get in trouble.
Before you head to bed you catch the news, there's a passing mention of all the protests but the media doesn't have any real interest in painting you in a positive light, they insist that it wasn't really protesting but bigoted racists rioting, again you wonder why you and your fellow protestors are being treated differently to the 'mostly peaceful' BLM protests that occurred a few years earlier before again answering your own question.
Oh well, you've got work in the morning, maybe something else will happen soon where they'll be forced to listen to you, you always hear about how the NHS is struggling and there's a shortage of homes, surely Labour can't continue down the same failed path as the Tories - maybe you'll vote for Reform at the next election if they're still around, you ponder.
Opinions?
