@MarcoMSchulze@flowirin@vault_history Sorry to break it to you but the system allows the European Commission to do pretty much what it wants and there's ridiculous amounts of lobbying
Not claiming the UK is any better but at least there's some voting that can make a difference rather than 0

@MarcoMSchulze@flowirin@vault_history Looking at your profile I'm trying to understand why you'd want to help Israel lobby a single European government (like in the US, 86% of Congress) instead of struggling across many different countries/states each with their own interests and representatives
@MarcoMSchulze@flowirin@vault_history Yeah, if it sucks when we get a vote (UK government), then would it be any better when we don't get a vote (EU commission)? EU parliament does fuck all, commission doesn't need it to pass laws. So why is that any better?
@MarcoMSchulze@flowirin@vault_history We're still very much included, every time the EU passes a stupid law we pass it too immediately afterwards.
Still waiting on our version of Chat Control here, surprised they didn't get on that yet.
@fobytoxjp@tommoor@dr I'm obsessed with factual information
Couldn't care less either way, I'm a dual citizen
Alt account since I know better than to correct zealots with my real handle
Congrats however on making a correct statement this time, you could indeed stay longer than 90 days
@fobytoxjp@tommoor@dr You can still enter with a passport like you did before and then travel within Schengen like you did before. Not sure what you're talking about here.
@AddamsFHummock@WalterZelig@BBCPolitics If you lived in the area you'd see that he's relevant enough for Reform to actively campaign even harder than they did last time
@LongLostLiberty@JohnCleese All fair points.
Problem is that the choice is between "nothing changes" and "too much changes" and I can't fault people for being sick and tired of the one-sided exchange of people, it's not like they can go anywhere else, globally they're a minority.
@LongLostLiberty@JohnCleese I'm asking this in good faith here since you seem rational - specifically which policy you consider cruel and deranged?
Also the system is designed for any good initiative to be mired in red tape when done by the book. By contrast, look how far El Salvador has come since Bukele
@LongLostLiberty@JohnCleese Speaking as an immigrant, if it wasn't for the bad immigrants there wouldn't be any ethnonationalism to worry about
It's in the good immigrant's best interest to not have the bad ones about
@SpiritOfAttlee@RupertLowe10 So you're saying that you can undermine a movement by intentionally being bad and associating yourself with it?
Like the FBI did with the civil rights movement?
Also, why are you Japanese.
@70_suzana@JohnCleese The subjects had as much say in that as they had in regards to invading Iraq during Blair
I assure you the average person just wants to be left alone and cares not for what the upper classes want to do to increase their wealth
