Or we could stop shitposting.

[Sergarr]

Yeah, I think I should lock it. It has lived its useful life.

I'm pretty sure that it's solely because of LW's shitposting habits getting worse, to the point of turning into shitposting terrorism. Please don't give in to terrorist's demands.

[Loud Whispers]

Yeah don't give in to my demands

[Arx]

This would be nice. I do quite like having a place where I can follow notable European politics and see a variety of sources, although I won't be heartbroken if it gets locked.

[nenjin]

Yeah don't give in to my demands

We don't negotiate with terrorists.

[ChairmanPoo]

If we close the thread people wll just shitpost elsewhere. Better that we keep the shitposters here with this thread as a decoy

If you don't do what I say the shitposters have already won.

[penguinofhonor]

If you keep the thread open the shitposters will realize we can't stop them. Better that we create new threads the shitposters know they're not welcome in

[Sinistar]

Nah come one it just LW being bant simpson. "proggies eat my shit-shorts" and all

Only a shit(poster) deals in absolutes.

[notquitethere]

LW, don't tell me you're one of those PUA work out guys. That'd be too funny.


Anyway, regarding actual news:  what do people think about the Russian bombing campaign in Syria?

[Sergarr]

I thought Syria wasn't in Europe?

[ChairmanPoo]

And I thought Donald Trump was concerned mostly with US policy, yet as you can see HERE he has also promised to solve Europe's refugee crisis if he gets elected - by expelling refugees back to Syria.

I'm guessing that fascists all over Europe (including the phylogenetics tree program guy), but I don't know to what extent those people can actually vote in an US election.

It has less to do with being fascist or xenophobic than fear of whether ISIS is hiding among the refugees.

We do have those racist types around here in the US though.

A casual glance at any part of the internet with a European presence would easily disprove this. You can't throw a stick without hitting a fascist and/or xenophobic comment, many of whom are only thinly veiling their opinion behind "but ISIS!!!"

They generally seem more worried about the future "white genocide."

FWIW, there is precedent. In the mid-late 1800's there were Americans who strongly supported barring Irish immigrants under fears that they were a secret Papal army set to infiltrate the US and invade it from within. That's just as implausible as the notion of tens of thousands of coordinated ISIS recruits among the refugees, but then rational thinking never gets in the way of fearmongering, especially when that fearmongering is a good cover for blatantly racist hostility.
