Notes -
What happened with or to KulakRevolt/FromKulak? I never checked out the culture war threads since I got my fix from nrx blogs and Hindu Twitter, though I wish I switched out the latter with the CW here. This isn't an attempt to gossip or concern troll, he's clearly a very skilled writer and fairly smart, I don't have much context as to how he went from his motte post of the year to a much more cynical attitude.
I wish him well.
Consider it another piece of evidence that NTR is the mind-killer. His meltdown looked like a fairly common instance of how men go down a negative thought spiral about their tribe's women being taken by the ethnic outgroup. (Using the anime culture term here might seem a tad basic, but that subculture still tends to produce some of the most unhinged demonstrations of these thought patterns in action. Though see also the legendary American obsession with the putative virility of black men.)
I'd reckon the same thousands of White British girls from low-human-capital backgrounds were sex-trafficked by old men who look like the cast of Top Gear long before the Pakistanis came along, but this would never inspire an emotional reaction from halfway across the internet. (One individual was seemingly single-handedly about 1/3 as prolific as the entire Rotherham gang, but who is fedposting about the BBC now?)
I continue to not understand why his fans assess him as a "very skilled writer and fairly smart". I was willing to grant that perhaps I was being distracted by the rambling/malapropisms/formatting and higher-IQ readers could see past the style (which he always claimed was a deliberate choice to... throw off writing analysis?) and see some spark of brilliance in the substance behind it, but the circumstance that, in what was by all accounts a parting shot in which he could no longer contain his righteous fury, he did not for a moment break with the style even as he went through an emotional outburst made me update in favour of it being genuine and him really being somewhat confused and verbally challenged.
I won't defend Kulak, but c'mon man.
I hope you can see how gangs of men raping tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of girls in horrific ways is bad.
Your crime stop is trying to justify or contextualize this disgusting abuse and dismissing it as racism. That's the exact reason why the crimes kept happening, how the victims' cries for help were ignored, and how the perpetrators were given comically low sentences (when they were tried at all). The smug attitude of people like you directly led to thousands of children being raped. No, these "low human capital" girls were not going to get raped anyway. What an insane thing to think.
Furthermore, you seem to have no awareness of the scope of the problem. For one, it wasn't just Rotherham.
It happened in large parts of north England and for over two decades, to the point where there are books about it. Every sane person would want a lot more than just mass deportations here. My reply also clarifies how this is worse than the the Jimmy saville issue.
The people doing thus are explicitly doing it out of racial and religious angst. Islam allows subcontinent dwellers to get away with crime. Even today, most news media won't touch it, most politicians simply pretend to ignore it and pajeet mullahs from a country that's pajeet even for India are ether gloating about it or diverting attention if they are simply not quiet so that this passes over.
Kulaks not wrong to want violence, he's wrong to call for it as the state just wants a way to simply label you as a stereotype. Jim of Jim's blog has some good takes, some psychopathic ones, I earlier commented on how women don't always enjoy rape (surprise surprise) as they purposefully don't visit unsafe places, India lost tourists because it has a rapey image, Pakistan has no tourists at all compared to Thailand for the same reasons. It's not just ntr or criminals being hot, it's simply the state telling people "fuck you, you can't do much and if you fight, we'll do you even worse".
After all, if you can justify reperations, why should policing and then by extension women not be left unchecked? You've had similar calls for women as reperations in my nation so my point is brought up so elucidate that such trains of thought do exist within many. I might be wrong and may regret writing this however. Double standards are universal, they don't stop just at uni admissions.
I don't want to be culture war ish but this is where we are at. Richard Spencer regrets his alt right time because one bad incident was enough, it took him 8 years to see similar memes come back to life due to a thermidor. The central nation states ability to conduct violence and the civilians being toothless with a police and armed forces ready to shoot you isn't a pretty situation.
Ideally it would happen organically.
The men of 1915 Atlanta organized a "Vigilance Committee" for the rape and murder of one girl, to see the perpetrator hanged.
Vigilante hangings were really having a cultural moment in that time period.
This is not a good thing.
Uh, vigilante hangings in the south had been a big thing for a while, and ended because the law managed to crack down on criminals enough that it wasn’t viewed as needed. It wasn’t some sort of fad; the republic of Texas had a civil war over the practice, although it gets lost in the history books for ‘also being at war with the commanches and Mexico simultaneously’ reasons.
There was a bit of a spike circa 1915. Noisy, yes, but there are a couple obvious suspects. I think it’s fair to describe the Second Klan as a cultural moment.
For reasons discussed previously, I think OP’s choice of Leo Frank is pretty disingenuous.
I concurrently believe that 1) Leo Frank was a pedophile who deserved to hang, and the actions of the klan in defending an innocent black man are a rare mark in their favor and 2) wanting to talk about Frank all the time is probably not motivated by sincere interest in justice practices in 1910's Georgia. So no disagreement about that.
Lynching was definitely A Thing which has been a feature of the south since there was a cultural region identifiable as the south; describing the second klan as a cultural moment is fair, referring to a bump in lynchings concurrently with the great war is probably fair, but referring to lynchings as a cultural moment is not.

No?
I'd think it serves to both punish the wicked and level set expectations for prosecutions.
If corruption is preventing the administration of justice the city needs a Vigilance Committee.
