Wasn't there something about Russia having a dedicated propaganda united for blogs, comment sections, etc.? :allears:

Also, I doubt the Russian paid propaganda brigade is stupid enough to actually use "Vladimir" for its usernames.

Quick question for everyone that's gloating about how "Merkel finally got hers" - what exactly would a good reaction (that's grounded in real life) have looked like?

Edit: Maybe I should mention that I thought her attempts to console the crying girl seemed completely helpless, but I'm genuinely curious what else she could have said in response to the girl's original question.

According to the helpful people in the EU thread (aka radical leftists, communists, greens voters) Merkel should have told her that she now understands that the German refugee policy is wrong and she will immediately force legislation through that allows every person that reaches Germany to stay indefinitely and get the full support of the German welfare state.

I actually appreciate how human her response was. Yes, she was completely helpless.
That is normal. This is not a situation where normal human beings could have done poo poo. Everyone fails in this situation.

And yes, it is completely clear she had absolutely no choice than to do what she did (tell her she had to go home), as of course she cannot simply decree that this girl may stay.

Still, the policy is dumb and we should worry more about integrating arrivals than keeping them out vOv

Ironically, it's likely that the girl will be allowed to stay due to a new law that makes it possible for Model Asylum Seekers (i.e. speaks German and has a good chance of becoming a Tax Paying Citizen) to stay here regardless of how much poo poo is on fire in their home country. I'd post the source, but phone posting and :effort:

Actually, the new Asylum law is not aimed at making it easier for asylum seekers to stay in Germany but for those who have already been denied asylum but who are tolerated despite being illegal aliens due to them not being from countries where poo poo is on fire.

On the other hand, it also tries to make it more easily to actually enforce deportations for illegal aliens.

There's not much that could be said without real actions to put her in a better spotlight. That's the problem; you can't solve these things with pointless gestures. Merkel is critiqued because she allowed bad policies that create these situations.

The problem here is that there is no emotional reaction that would have made this scenario more palatable, only action. When someone allows bad things to happen, you do not defend their reactions to the consequences with "what should they have done when faced with the consequences of their actions instead?"

e: huh, that post was older than I thought, guess I'm not used to that kind of timespan on one thread page.

I have a question for bavarians. I have lived in bumfuck Bavaria for a year once, and it was remarkably racist and poo poo (the people that is, everything else was good).

But how about the cities (ie: Munich). Shouldn't there be some tolerant young people or hipsters there? Or is it all the same?

Munich is alright and young people in general are alright. I'm working in Ingolstadt (= shithole) at the moment, but the company I'm working at is full of people around thirty and they're all nice and not racist.

All larger cities in Bavaria and Franconia are really nice. They have all their unique thing going on though, so you need to be more specific. For example, Munich is a fantastic city to live in but it is full of uptight yuppies with zero self awareness. Nuremberg has has a certain ghetto flair going on, but also really nice down to earth people.

Bumfucks have no say in the cities, they just stay on their side of Bavaria. It's best described as two parallel cultures with their own mutually non intelligible languages living side by side.

Tolerance/Racism is a complicated subject. No one is a Racist in enlightened Bavaria, so people will spout the most insanely racist poo poo you can imagine without warning. Mostly it's not meant in a hurtful way, people are just really that stupid and try very aggressively to lack any kind of self awareness. You either get used to it or you don't.
