Collateral Damage posted:^ They said they'd have "armed mercenaries" on board, so presumably their idea was to go around murdering fleeing civilians. You know, like ISIS does. Their stated goals are to expose NGOs working together with smugglers, sink empty smuggler ships and alarm the North African coastguards about immigrant boats before any NGO ships can reach them. What that means is that they plan to harass NGO ships Greenspeace style, film it and then put that as monetized content on youtube. These Nazi media channels are usually extremely shady, so the central goal is probably still going to be to steal as much donation money as possible while not alienating their fanbase too much.

So you are saying they were evil and greedy, and that was it? A business opportunity? Youtube would have de-monetized in a jiffy, believe me sir. And to be realisic, if they wanted money and had any business acumen, they should have just joined the NGO-smuggler operation of ferrying people from Libyan coast to Italy. lovely career planning.

Sinking refugee ships is actually ok and not bad if it's not monetized on youtube.

IRC they raised something like $50k, ten times less than any generic anime dating sim makes on kickstarter in a day. Their youtube/patreon/whatever channels probably make around $10k a year. This is all amateur league. They are not gonna raid the Libyan coast and place C4 charges on smuggler boats or something, certainly not with their off-brand Mall cop relative they hired as a "mercenary".

Wasn't it posted above that they've already been detained? They'll probably end up arrested and fined, their boat and weapons confiscated, and back to square one.

Actually most boat people currently transported to the EU through the chain of smugglers and NGOs stay in Italy and very few of them are granted official refugee status. Austria has already plans in place to close the borders should Italy attempt to let the illegal immigrants just go north.

Austria has already plans in place to close the borders should Italy attempt to let the illegal immigrants just go north. That didn't used to be the case though, back in the day everyone was "registered" (not) and just let go with the advice to leave the country. Nobody gave a poo poo where. And many end up in Berlin or the Nordic states. But otherwise, it's a good business, didn't the governor of Palermo recently invite everyone? It was found out (anyone can check this from several main stream sources in google) that it was actually the mafia and NGOs who were rolling up dollars and euros from government grants along with the smuggling and migrant business, running asylum centers where people were fed rancid chicken while the mafiosos were buying golden toilets and hiding cash in their houses. How humanitarian.

That's a photoshopped image of Dutch politician Emile Roemer (Dutch URL), leader of the Socialist Party. It was created by rich people magazine Quote who feared he would take away all their money if he would become prime minister after this year's elections (almost literal quote: "if he becomes PM, we will be moving to Switzerland").

Peel posted:I'll be honest, I thought it was a Ted Cruz joke. Emile Roemer is about as likable as Cruz and picking him to lead the party was a move of colossal idiocy. Almost as bad a move as replacing the charismatic labour guy with a wet sack of "who-is-that-again?"

Actually I'm pretty sure that was from last election 4 years ago. This year IIRC though the SP decided to lean into it and released their own photo of Roemer with a chainsaw. While I fully support the use of cutting instruments on the rich, I believe we can find a cheaper, more efficient solution.

I won't, and it's my loving hometown. Seriously, I don't understand why the hell Eurovision is a thing now. It always has been a horrendously sad and tacky affair but for some reason it became popular. Must be a hipster thing. What I want to know is will this be another pointless drain on the taxpayers like the Euro 2004 was? At least this time there is apparently no new infrastructure needed so I guess not, but would like to know if that is not the case.

As long as I am here, here is a charming Portuguese news article: A legal case of a 50-plus year old woman who got some botched surgery that made her near incapable of having sex (among a series of other medical problems) was appealed all the way to the highest court who ended up reducing her entitled 172.000 Euro compensation to 60.000 under the rationale that "for women over 50, sex is not as important". This got them condemned by the European Human Rights Court. The somewhat ignored kicker that truly makes this Portugal.txt? This surgery was performed in 1995. Our blindingly fast justice system, everyone! http://www.dn.pt/portugal/interior/tribunal-europeu-dos-direitos-do-homem-condena-portugal-por-discriminacao-sexual-8661478.html

So if German cars suck, what is the alternative? I know very little about cars but my parents always swore by them, especially safety wise. What cars are "good"? (I never owned a car and have no reason to get one for now, but might in the future)

All cars suck and unless you absolutely need one try to live your life without it. I'm a huge fan of the blablacar app these days; there's pretty much always rides to and from the major EU cities and centres, and if you can combine it with public transport there's almost no place you can't reach except the remote countryside.
