  1. I see TLDR has joined the coordinated shift to using "irregular migration" rather then the more accurate "illegal".

  2. "instead of protecting Hungary" Since Hungary has been consistently proved right about the dangers of mass-immigration, low birth rates and woke ideology - maybe we should listen to them.

  3.  @BoraCM  "Bad actors like Hungary" . . . . . .who have the cheek not to want to adopt an immigration policy that has been a disaster for every country that has adopted it.

  4. It's only "insane" if you have a very limited ability to connect actions with results. Many of us have been saying for years that reckless immigration policies would cause a backlash - and we were called every name in the book for it.

  5. "How dare you not submit to the great replacement"

  6. You're making the classic mistake of thinking politicians actually mean anything they say. . . . . . . .

  7.  @useodyseeorbitchute9450  Hungary is in conflict because they won't bend the knee to the EU's pro-immigration and pro-woke plan. The judiciary thing is a smoke-screen.

  8. Europe is literally dying: - Too few native babies - Too many immigrants - Too much woke - Too much debt

  9.  @keatonwastaken  This is why your side is losing. You think throwing vague, abstract pieces of "gotcha" rhetoric at people, is all the rebuttal you need to complaints about how your ideologies are making things worse. And when people point out that reality hasn't gone away: you sneer at them, mock them, and claim you are above providing specifics. Meanwhile - groups like RN speak to people's actual problems, and the result is. . . . . .Sunday's election.

  10.  @keatonwastaken  Thank you for admitting you are not able to provide clarity on your earlier mumblings. Once again proving that the emptiest vessel makes the most noise.

  11.  @Talisguy  Open borders were implemented to create a more divided society and to supress wages. It was a policy that only ever benefited the already wealthy at the expense of the bulk of the population.

  12.  @keatonwastaken  "So you're telling me that the actions of some people from a certain group justifies certain behavior?" That question is so vague as to be almost meaningless.

  13. "Far right" now literally just means, "You don't want your people and culture to vanish".

  14. "If the fascists win" Since there are no fascists standing in the run-off, you don't need to worry about that.

  15. I would say it's better than the UK's system where you can get millions of votes and no seats, while a party with fewer votes can get dozens of them.

  16. But. . . . . then how would they replace us?

  17. I had the same thought - the entire establishment dropping the pretence of being rivals just to keep you out, does rather help the image of a rebellious underdog.

  18. Europe's "right wing" - really isn't that right wing. The things they believe would have been considered mere common sense 20 years ago.

  19.  @keatonwastaken  Which "groups"? Which "actions"? Which "behaviour"? In what context? When I read history at university - we were taught to be specific, not to use vague, loosely worded abstractions. Try it sometime.

  20.  @Talisguy  Thanks for admitting you can't refute the point.

  21.  @lif3andthings763  Again - one who understand nothing of economics. When labour is scarce, employers pay what they have to. When it is super-abundant, they also pay what they have to. This isn't complicated.

  22.  @Talisguy  There hasn't been "peace" since I was a teenager in the 90s. It's been one war after another.

  23.  @kasetoast8354  Since you're all still yearning for Stalin - I'd say you don't get to give lectures on living in the past.

  24.  @XMysticHerox  RN got more votes than any other party. I think that would give them a reasonable basis for saying they should have the most seats.

  25. The old tend to be comfortable - they have their house, their pension, their golf clubs, and their Saga cruises once a year. The young are increasingly poor, desperate, miserable, and feeling betrayed by an establishment that cares about the old and about immigrants, far more than it does about them.

  26.  @keatonwastaken  🙄 It's like trying to have an intelligent conversation with a vending machine.

  27. ​ @keatonwastaken  The thing that makes me chuckle is how you're trying to bluster your way through this - but we both know you're never going to use that line again because I gave you such a fright just by asking "what does that mean?" When I used to do competitive debating you could always recognize that look of panic in someone's eyes when they just had no idea how to answer. Next time, don't just parrot things you saw on reddit eh kid?

  28. When the party that got the most votes end up as the smallest of the three new blocks in the assembly - you can understand their cynicism.

  29.  @Talisguy  "The idea that the border is open is laughable " Only to someone who hasn't seen the numbers recently - which you obviously haven't. "open borders were the norm for much of the 19th century" Almost every large scale migration before then was accompanied by war. I'm astonished at the parochialism and lack of perspective in that statement. "Free movement of people forces employers to be more competitive" You obviously don't understand basic economics, (I find this is the norm among open borders advocates), a surplus of labour always and everywhere results in the suppression of wages. Please familiarize yourself with the concept of "supply and demand" before going further.

  30. Not really - even the "far-right" governments are pretty mild when you look at what they're actually doing.

  31. Yes I noticed last night various left wingers were talking like RN had been utterly crushed, and I was like - "You know they got the most votes of any party and about 25 times as many seats as six years ago?"

  32.  @Oh-vk2oe  "We should blame the messenger: then reality will go away and we can keep ignoring it!" The sheer childishness of this mentality never fails to amaze me.

  33.  @XMysticHerox  "More seats than all other parties combined?" Where did I say that exactly? Prone to telling little porkies are we kiddo?

  34. The weak men (and women) have created hard times, and hard times make for more war as predators take advantage of the weakness.

  35.  @goganii  French politics has always been more. . . . . . ."exuberant" than the Anglo countries.

  36. Funny how these "far right" parties always pop up after a country is "enriched" with vast numbers of unwelcome guests. . . . . . .

  37.  @Skeprah  It is not legal to break into another country anymore than it is legal to break into someone's house. As for asylum - we know almost all have shopped around multiple countries and travelled through multiple safe countries before applying here.

  38. Do they think they deserve praise for saying - "We'll do the criminally stupid thing a few months later than we were going to"?

  39.  @Cat_Guevara  If they'd taken my ideas 10 years - Europe would be in a much better place now.

  40.  @Oh-vk2oe  Yes it was your bad - you displayed astonishing ignorance. Do better next time.

  41.  @Oh-vk2oe  Try having some sort of point kid.

  42.  @MrMiddleWick  As long as one side is insisting on lax vote security - we need to be agnostic on the question of who got the most votes.

  43. You have to ask why are the elites so fanatically committed to replacing ethnic Europeans with non-European immigrants. . . . . . . . .

  44.  @Vercixx  That's a poor analogy - a better one would be if the team was in the 3rd division two years ago, and then just failed to win the Premiership this season: so now everyone is saying they've done terribly.

  45. If "integration has failed", the first thing you should do is cut off the flow of immigration. When in a hole, stop digging!

  46. And in most countries, you have paper ballots and voter ID. For some reason, American liberals are terrified of those things. . . . . . .

  47.  @EUTalks  "Once they have the citizenship, they are Swedish people" We've seen painfully clearly across Europe in the last decade that that idea is a naïve fairy-tale.

  48.  @XMysticHerox  Thank you for admitting I never made the claim you snarkily attributed to me. Try to stop being a liar kiddo - it's a nasty habit, and as you've just discovered, makes you look very foolish when found out.

  49. In Britain the government refuse to gather such data. Because they know what the result will be, and they know it would discredit their open borders policy.

  50. The EU has been very strongly pro-immigration and strongly pushed "de-growth". Neither of those things is popular.
