The French secret services. What are they doing?


Very little.

Which isn't all that surprising. France's secret services have been shit for a while now.

Yes because the first thing France needs is good old fashioned bigotry especially from the 1930s.

I really doubt it.

It won't happen from this, and certainly not by december.
I used to run an alliance, and a region. Not that it matters now.

Fine.
You won't give us a platform, we'll fuck off to the right wing and join them instead. They'll certainly give us a platform to say that Leftist authoritarian racism and sexism is so extreme that fucking communists are joining the conservatives.

Do you want to blame SJWs for the Holocaust while we are at it?

Worst of this is that:

• Viktor Órban (wanted to impose a hefty internet tax and such, built a fence),
• Le Pen (antisemitist, anti-islamist)
• UKIP/BNP (wants to go out of the EU, discriminatory)
• and even more (excuse me, other co-Europeans, if I haven't mentioned your far-right politicians)

all would gain seats due to this... In our country, Wilders would already have 36 seats - he would be the biggest party.

I really hate this. When far-right or far-left parties are taking over my country, I'm going in the resistance. And I mean that. I want to live in a free country, not an oppressed 'democratic reich-republic' country or such.

Excusez-moi... My emotions are too heated up. I'm going away briefly.


UKIP and the BNP are entirely seperate parties, UKIP is literally just your standard right-wing party militantly opposed to the E.U. Race and Culture are not major parts of their agenda and they certainly are not racist.


Wait until the UKIP becomes it... Back in the 2001, this was Wilders.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atqapah1fL4

And this is him in 2015:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGy-CYhZczo

He's basically asking the Muslims to be deported, executed, etc.

Yes, in 2001, he was in another party (the VVD, a conservative-liberal party) that limited his ability to discriminate. But later, we saw his real face - when he established the new PVV - as a hate spreading man. Really, he is not to be trusted.

Watching livestreams on three different channels at once.

Anyways, Hollande says France is closing it's borders, and there's a state of Emergency going down. Apparently at least 60 (probably closer to 100) hostages at a concert hall, and the Fox title says "Police Assault underway at Paris Concert Hall".

Paris attacks.

Postby Sjealand » Fri Nov 13, 2015 4:32 pm

I was at a school Galla when we heard the news of the attacks in paris. We have all been watching the news skmce


I made this as i felt the need for somewhere we could support the people of France. Please keep opinions and politics out of this. This is to show support for the victims. I hope you will do me the favour. In times like these we must band together and support the french people and nation.

My heartfelt condolenlces and sorrow for the victims and their families and friends of this horrid attack. My heat goes out to the french people

Radical Islam and Naziism are comparably extreme and violent ideologies.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

I don't really see that at all. Hollande has acted aggressive militarily. France and Switzerland both enacted laws aimed at culturally and religiously limiting Muslims. Tbh Muslims are better off in the US. We're use to brown people. Europe -not so much.

Trying to explore the idea from available poll data, France, despite these laws, does seem more accepting of Muslims and Islam than the United States, though not by much. On the other hand, the United States still seems more accepting than other major Western European nations. So, as a whole, Europe woul have to become more accepting of Muslims and Islam to be more like America.

I think an important point to say, though, is that being against some Muslim majority countries is not the same as being against Muslims or Islam itself. No more than being against Russia is being against the Orthodox Church.
