So much of Europe's descent into failed multiculturalism and the inevitable far-right backlash against it could have avoided if the continent had only allowed itself to be rational about who it allowed inside its borders.
But, no, to distinguish between immigrant groups destined to produce generations of hostile leeching residents (e.g., rural Pakistani peasantry, Somalis, Afghans) and those which reliably produce instant net contributors would be "racist" or "Islamophobic" or "neo-colonialist".
Nothing has exposed the limitations of contemporary liberal values more than the immigration policies of European nations.
@MasterMaliq The easiest way to conclude it is not "true" is by reading the quran: it is riddled with disproved falsehoods, contradictions and barbarisms. The easiest way to conclude it is a bad influence on society is by simply observing the behaviour of its followers.
“police arrest man who is bleeding to death because the stabber claimed he was racist”
its literally impossible to satirize the UK anymore. even the most extreme, hamfisted memes are just real things that actually happen now
Dear Microsoft, when I hit the Windows Start menu key and start typing a word to autocomplete a search, I never, ever, EVER want it to return results of something not on my computer. Ever. Like, ever, ever, never.
Gisteravond publiceerde OESO rapport over belastingen op lonen. In België gaat voor elke €100 loonkost van baas voor alleenstaande werknemer slechts €47,5 netto naar werknemer. Werken dat zo weinig loont, het drijft veel problemen in dit land, maar we halen samen schouders op.
@avidseries Lost count of the times I've ended up using one of your posts in a political discussion with friends. I'm politically homeless paying 55%+ tax in a european country that is declining due to poor economical decisionmaking and immigration. I just desperately want less government.
Had coffee with my friend Thomas today in Munich
He looked truly awful
"I'm not doing good man" he said
"Been waiting six months to see a doctor for my lungs, they say it might be cancer"
"Also, we barely survive, our heating bill doubled and tax is now almost 65%"
"And the worst, my Muslim neighbors have been harassing my daughter, and there is nothing you can do to them"
I took a sip of my coffee
"Have you tried the new bike lane on Friedrichstraße?"
"What?"
"Smooth asphalt, rest area with benches" I smiled
"Did you hear anything I just said?" he got angry
I ignored his negativity and complaining
Some people will never appreciate how great European quality of life is
This is the arrogance of people who have had too much power for too long
They are paid to make good programmes, but divert their energy to social engineering, for which they have no qualifications
@thomas_spaas Ik denk niet dat het binnen 3 maand al opgelost gaat zijn. Productie opschalen is maar beperkt mogelijk en vergt tijd, en tenzij de AI bubble barst gaat de vraag niet dalen.
@AlexanderNL En terecht, ik sta even versteld als hun hoe het nederlandse parlement niet in brand staat nu. Met open ogen de eigen economie kapotmaken. Ik dacht dat wij het al slecht deden met onze 10% vermogenswinstbelasting.
