There's a reason people ever used "PIGS" and not "GISP" or whatever, and that was to demonise southern Europeans as lazy people who live off the northern states' generosity. Do not perpetuate that.

I think some of them might have sympathy for anything that looks like a popular anti-capitalist movement and some of them might be accelerationists, but it is admittedly hard to imagine the vocally, radically anti-islamophobic NPA people veering that way.

all the npa voters i know are students at uni who are anything but islamophobic, but i'm guessing the npa probably attracts a fair amount of gently caress everything voters who probably vote for the npa because they're anti-establishement and probably know nothing about their program or whatever

Good news everyone, the ECJ did not introduce Humanitarian Visas through his judgement today but ruled that they are not mandated by EU law, going against the trend as they usually follow the advice of the Advocate General, who in this case was for the humanitarian Visas. http://www.dw.com/en/european-court-of-justice-rules-against-humanitarian-visas-for-refugees/a-37834318

GaussianCopula posted:It's almost like deregulating the construction business (less NIMBYism, less "we have to protect this rare animal", less corruption) would not only relax the situation in the housing market, but also provide jobs for low qualified workers. What is with you right wing rear end holes and your complete disrespect for the environment? Pragmatically you could at least see it as a resource that must be managed to ensure it is worth anything. Instead we get flippant disinterest or, worse, actively malicious desire for destruction. 'Rare animals' matter. The environment matters. You right wingers live on the same planet. It benefits you as well. Stop making GBS threads where you eat.

I'm pretty concerned about the environment but I'm also pragmatic enough to understand that rare does not necessarily mean the last of its species, and if it stands between a frog in a swamp and housing for several hundred people, then the frog gets to move. What pisses me off more about construction is when people say "We need to live close to nature!" and so we build sparse houses far from the city and in the process destroy a lot more nature than if we had just built a few dense and tall mixed-residential city blocks and left a whole lot more of nature undisturbed. Plus people wouldn't need to drive 20km to get to work each day, they could just walk a few blocks or take the bus/subway/light rail/what have you.

Tomorrow Canard Enchainé is publishing that Fillon didn't tell the french IRS equivalent about borrowing 50k€ from a well known rightwing bussinessman Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière (billionaire, owner of the Fitch group and former member of the Steering Committee of the Bilderberg group, conspiracion theory level are reaching over 9000). His journal, "La Revue des deux mondes" is the one were Phenelope did some really well paid work too. Assuming it's true, the leak is clearly from the rightwing. <insert sarkozy smiling.pjg> edit: Fillon's current defense is "he forgot".

I really can't imagine a case where the whole "save the frogs?" dilemma isn't the outcome of a selection process which has eliminated a lot of much better options before people even get to have an opinion on poo poo.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I really don't agree. The question wouldn't be "Frogs or housing", it would be "Frogs or developers saving 1% on construction costs" or "Frogs or developers get to place expensive condominiums in a nature preserve to increase the value of the property", or some poo poo like that. The ones who should get told to just deal are people who live in not particularly densely populated areas around city centers, where the local government could open up for further development to increase density, reduce urban sprawl, and make public transport more viable. That would be of actual social benefit, without encroaching even more on our natural environment. There are cases in Germany, where projects have to be stopped, because they are to close (<200m) to an area, which could potentially be the habitat of certain rare birds, regardless whether the birds have actually been seen there or not. The issue is not that every last piece of land has to be built on, but there are clearly areas where there is a very high demand for new housing, and there it should not matter whether some endangered species might live there or not. Further increases of density in those hot zones are of course another viable option that can be explored.
