Y-Hat posted:cuz they're white and also i didn't think there were anywhere near as much of them in the uk. but when it comes to racists, a slav's a slav I think you will discover the problem is that slavs aren't white. Technically only the English and French are white. Eastern europeans and russians don't count. Neither do the Irish. And now that I think about it, the French are a little iffy.

Police Automaton posted:Problem with the EU in my eyes always was that it never was pulled through consequentially like it was envisioned and all the members were only ever agreeable on stuff that directly benefited them and not much else. (nobody in the EU is free of guilt regarding that but especially the UK was a master at that game, always has been) Combine that with the century-old european Tradition to stab each other in the back wherever possible and to use nationalism and blame the others when something goes wrong in your country (maybe because of you) and it's a recipe for disaster. The problem with the EU really is that Brussels doesn't have *enough* power, but that can be blamed on what I just said. Also all the countless times we had the chance to act as a unified european bloc and stand our ground to the americans (who are less our friends than we seem to think) or the russians (who could've been better friends than they are now) and become an actual world player by ourselves, but we always let ourselves be manipulated by those powers and preferred, you guessed it right, to stab each other in the back instead. Maybe the EU is just isn't meant to be, which really is a pity because it's the only way for us Europeans to be truly relevant on a world stage. Ah, yes, the russians make great pals

Neither do the Irish. And now that I think about it, the French are a little iffy. This is one of the great ironies, isn't it? Globalism and the EU made all Europeans "white", from Iceland and Spain to the Baltics and Greece, but once those nations don't have that have European unity and on their own, they resort to the old nationalisms and, well, Slavs, Irish, and Italians, etc., aren't "white" anymore. GeneX posted:Ah, yes, the russians make great pals Yeah, no poo poo. The Russians did horrible poo poo to their buffer states to keep them in their sphere of influence. The Warsaw Pact was less a mutual defense organization like NATO and more of Russia's cannon fodder if it ever came to WW3. Poland itself took a lot of poo poo, with Russia never admitting to the Katyn massacre, to the Wujek Polish miners' strike where 9 strikers died in a commando-style raid, the two year martial law period following that strike where 100s of activists where disappeared. Once the Iron Curtain was in collapse following the Berlin Wall, Poland was the first to leave and everyone else split soon after.

The only reason the Warsaw pact was lovely was because the Soviet Union was communist. If it had been like Russia under Putin then everything would have been great.

If it had been like Russia under Putin then everything would have been great. The thing is this has been standard operating procedure since the Czars. It's like the moment someone steps into the Kremlin, they start thinking they're an Emperor and continue the old traditions, no matter where they came from.

Y-Hat posted:did that british neo-nazi take over your account Bro, do you even racism? Being pale isn't enough to make you white. (Because race is a social construct, not a biological fact.) Yep, Irish are a mix of African, Spanish, and Neanderthal. Not a drop of white blood in 'em.

Conservative MEP and "Leave" proponent Daniel Hannan just claimed on Newsnight that "we never said there was going to be some radical decline" when it comes to immigration. From the New Stateman... quote:It was the Leave campaign's pledge to reduce EU immigration that won it the referendum. But Daniel Hannan struck a rather different tone on last night's Newsnight. "It means free movement of labour," the Conservative MEP said of the post-Brexit model he envisaged. An exasperated Evan Davis replied: “I’m sorry we’ve just been through three months of agony on the issue of immigration. The public have been led to believe that what they have voted for is an end to free movement." BTW, the petition for a revised referendum is now at 3.5 million signatures.
