I am so fucking done with American tumblr rn.

When Ferguson etc happened, we Europeans educated ourselves, we cried with you.
When Charlie Hebdo and Germanwings happened, what do you do? You devalue our mourning by saying “blablabla white guy YOU’RE ALL ISLAMOPHOBIC”.

NO. STOP IT.

I am so fucking angry.

wut

When I see things like this, I sometimes wonder how Europe has a “dumb American” stereotype when people from Europe say shit like this.

“shit like this”.
Wonderful.
You know what? The only words of understanding I have seen the past few day on my dash were from Germans and French people. I have gotten a few American asks expressing their condolences after that rage post I made went viral.

This post stems from the simple fact that 80 fucking percent of the posts about the tragedy I saw were things like “Oh, they’re only checking for mental illnesses bc he is white”

Not a single fucking word about the victims. 150 people were killed.
An entire high school class, babies, people who were in that plane and were looking forward to see their loved ones again.

This tragedy has hit Germany so fucking hard.
You know what many of us did? We have put flags outside. Half mast. With black ribbons.
You might not know it, but flags in Germany mean shit is getting serious. We don’t put flags outside. This may seem weird to literally any other country of the world, but, outside the world cup or really really bad tragedies, you don’t see flags. You DON’T.
Schools don’t have them, courts don’t have them, our fucking POLICE STATION does not have them. Normal people don’t have them.
The last time I remember that we have put some up was Winnenden. A student went on a killing spree in his school and killed 16 people, including himself. And let me tell you: Our country was paralized.
So yeah. A good method to measure the extent of shit going down here is to look at the number of flags. The more flags. the worse.
And let me tell you, I have been drowned in flags and black ribbon while walking the streets of my city.
And what do we get? No ounce of sympathy.
No one talks about the innocent victims.

Instead, we get told that we’re islamophobic because we don’t say that that pilot was a terrorist. Oh yeah, “because he was white.”
The definition of terrorism is violence against civilians to achieve political, religious or ideological goals.
Nope, nope, and nope. He did not want to achieve any goal beside killing himself.
That he took all those innocents with him is so fucking awful, but this is not terrorism.
So please, stop trying to make this a thing about terrorism or racism, because it is NOT.

Yes, racism, islamophobia and sexism is awful. I, as a history/political science major who actually really involved in fighting all this, wholeheartedly agree.
But it is a complete different area and has nothing to do with this tragedy. (”fun” fact: The first thing that was checked was whether he had any terrorist motives like Breivik (a Christian terrorist btw)).

So yeah, I as someone from Europe, may have not said “shit like this” if more people from outside here had expressed a little sympathy, if more people had grieved with us, if more people had actually thought about the victims instead of trying to twist this tragedy into a thing that it is not, just to fit their crusade.

Please, stop making this tragedy about yourselves.
A few words of sympathy, a bit of empathy for a country that is SHOCKED.
Is that to much to ask for?
Maybe I wouldn’t write “shit like this” then.

I dare any of you to come at us after having read this.

I Bloody DARE. YOU.

You could not show sympathy for once, could you? No,no, it is so much better to make it about your own religious or racial agenda since this is all you care about! 

“The first thing that was checked was whether he had any terrorist motives like Breivik (a Christian terrorist btw) “

Your argument would have been valid if this investigation had not been made. But it has. It happens this man had no terrorist motives (a terrorist would have made the plain crash on the nearest populated city, not in the middle of nowhere) but a very severe depression, a violent behavior with his relatives and eye-problems which could have ended his career soon. His life was falling appart and the more the police investigates, the more they discover how messy his mental state was.

He was unstable. Mentally unstable. The company failed to detect his problems and 150 persons died. 150. Everybody in Germany, in Spain, even in France, is grieving and you have the GUTS to bring your horrible agenda on the table?! like you did with Charlie Hebdo?! like you do every time you want to open your mouth and make it look like you’re educated when you know nothing but still feel the need to express your opinion?

well guess what: NOBODY.CARES.ABOUT.YOUR.OPINION.

NOBODY.

because the ONLY thing you care about is yourselves. We cried with you when 9/11 happened. We cried with you everytime there was a shooting at a school. We cried with you for Ferguson, we spreaded awareness about it because it was unacceptable, we spreaded awareness about ISIS, about intolerance, we personally made the choice to educate ourselves even if some of us suffered atrocious events like the terrorist attacks in Paris. Because that’s what people are SUPPOSED TO DO. educate themselves. Fight for what is right. 

But you can’t even make that effort, can you?

No. ‘Cause it’s all about us being fascist europeans, and you being the greatest country in the world isn’ it? 

Well next time you want us “people from the world” to “spread” any of your social issue “like wildfire” or to “signal boost the shit out of it”, don’t come crying if people just tell you “tough luck” and scroll past.

That’s what happens when you talk shit about things you don’t know anything about.
