Ever since the assassination attempt against Anatolij Sharij (Ukraine's second most popular opposition party leader who lives in exile in Spain), likely ordered by the Ukrainian government according to inside information gathered by underground supporters of Sharij back in the country, and the Spanish police's complete incompetence in investigating leads, maybe on purpose, the former politician has been heavily criticizing European modern culture. Some of this results in pretty funny videos/audio on his private channel.
I thought this one was interesting. The following is a re-tell of Sharij's words:
This is an audio file where he says he understands how the power of crowds has led to things like the Inquisition and how it's still a powerful force today, even in an enlightened Spanish democracy. He says that recently a Netflix movie has come out called 'You are not alone' something or other. It's about a famous 'wolf pack' rape in Pamplona during the bull running festival (you can google it), where apparently group rape of a woman occurred. The film describes this event and there is the woman who comes with her soy guy, who gets tired and goes back in the car to sleep. She goes back to the festival, meets some guys and they agree to go to a hotel to do stuff that mom and dad do, except that mom and dad are married and there is only one dad and one mom. The hotel is full so they go in some alley. The video published from this is just her moans and there is no hint that she does not like anything. However, the wolf's pack makes a mistake when one of them steals her phone and leave her. This is probably what they did wrong. If they had not stolen the phone and did not leave her but bought some beers for her, what happened next may not have happened.
When she realizes her phone is gone she sits crying on a bench, others come up to her and she says she was raped. Police come and a big investigation starts. They find the video and the lawyers say that there is no rape here. Later at court she says that I was kissing one of them and the second one convinced me to go somewhere... It seems like a failed case until a huge crowd of women joins in and starts shouting that it was rape. A lot of public actions start. Since the herd likes to be part of a hard, other cities joined in, including in Berlin and other countries, and the men of these women (who cannot be called proper men), all start shouting 'rape! rape!'. The court cannot find any rape here, but because the street insists on it, they give the men 9 years in prison.
The street erupts because they should have gotten 20 years, because it's rape! This has been decided by the street and the people keep coming out. Even when a month later the raped woman puts a picture on her Instagram of her wearing a shirt saying 'In any situation, just take off your panties', but this is fine because she is a modern woman. But the street, which centuries earlier burned people alive is happy and continues with its campaign. They demand the rapist to be 'burned'. This goes to the Supreme Court of Spain and the rapists get 15 years. Everyone celebrates.
I ask you to watch this bullshit (the Netflix movie), and see how they are all happy. To look at the faces of the people screaming for punishment. You know what's interesting is that in this movie they point out that a murder took place in Pamplona at the same time, and some murders where some girls were kidnapped and tortured and killed. Now compare those stories to what happened. Because I'm sure a lot of women have a friend that was 'raped' in such a way. And many men know such victims as well. In alleyways, and in basements... These women are called whores. A whore is someone who goes voluntarily with five men with no problem to an alley, does everything they want, and then gets upset that she's not the queen of the evening and gets left behind. And then you wonder how an Inquisition happened many hundreds of years ago. It's a genius film really. There is everything in it and I want you to watch it and then share your thoughts on it.
There were other interesting comments on this movie and I'll put them below in the comments.
