As they should be. Because the analogy between wolves and Gypsies on the level of predator-prey is clearly completely broken (Gypsies are not predators and the majority population is not prey). And the only level where it works is the irrational fear far beyond their real threat that both wolves and Gypsies instill in some members of the society. Which has lead to near extinction of wolves - damaging ecosystems that depend on them - and (among other things) a genocide of Gypsies.
- worthless-trash 2mo agoI haven't experienced gypsies first hand, but from the youtube perception that I see, they definitely DO prey on tourists at land marks. Unless there is a youtube/social media conspiracy, i think the analogy stands.
- tpm 2mo agoI have "experienced" Roma people including having lived close to a large Roma group (same street), going to school with them etc and it's a complete nonsense to blame and persecute the whole ethnic group. In general, in the year 2026 we should know better than to assign collective guilt. It always creates more issues than it purports to solve. If you really want to understand an issue in depth, don't use propaganda videos as education.
- worthless-trash 2mo agoI never said they were collectively guilty. that was on you. You assigned them all as guilty. > and it's a complete nonsense to blame and persecute the whole ethnic group Cultures exist in ethnic groups, I don't know what to say. If you don't believe this, you're being intentionally obstuse. > In general, in the year 2026 we should know better than to assign collective guilt. Again, that was you. > If you really want to understand an issue in depth. I only get to see what I'm presented. I don't even know how to identify what they look like. They do appear to look like every day people in the youtube videos. They usually speak the language, but people point them out as being a problem. That is not a "me" problem, that is a PR problem. Now that I think about it, i don't think I've ever seen a positive video about gypsies on the net.
