S - Kingdom of Sweden in European Union ·
They seriously need migrants just to "mix up their blood," or whatever—I’m honestly speechless at how much of a bunch of lazy, useless idiots they are.

Gary Cooper3 said:Hold on—are you telling me that in a country of roughly 330 million people, they literally finish counting every single vote by 9:00 PM?

From what I can gather, their voting wrapped up around 5:00 PM, yet even in a nation twice that size, it supposedly took them a mere four hours to tally ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.
Meanwhile, back here in the States, it’s 11:00 PM and we’re still debating whether the exit polls actually mean anything or if that current 50% count🤣 is even worth looking at... we won't hit 100% until late tomorrow, if we ever do at all.🤣

And then someone takes it personally when I suggest our local precinct boards are basically the biggest patronage rackets in America. Pure laziness, all funded by massive taxpayer payouts. Honestly, what else can you expect from the "rising stars" of the party? I know that in the Republic of Austria, dead people don't get to vote—and maybe even the diaspora doesn't have much say—but this whole situation is just a complete joke.

Yeah, obviously... why on earth would they need a redo on the presidential election?
Religion classes in school - Megathread in Students & Teens ·
jadetinker85 said:My niece is stuck in a spot where she has to attend religious classes every Saturday and Sunday. The priest won't even consider the fact that her grandparents live out in the country and the family wants to visit them over the weekend.

I don't know, she's definitely not the only one dealing with this.
A lot of people I know used to do their religious studies and Sunday mass while staying at their grandparents' place out in rural areas.

It was never an issue; the only catch was they had to show up at the local parish church occasionally to prep for sacraments and stuff.

In our parish, the classes are usually on Saturdays, but they also offer weekday sessions for anyone who can't make it on the weekend.

Yeah, I have zero interest in assimilating—not that anyone’s forcing me to, why would I? I actually love the richness that comes from people staying true to their roots while being fully integrated. I dig heterogeneous cultures, and the future of the US isn't looking like a melting pot where everyone loses themselves; having non-assimilated but integrated foreigners is actually a huge plus 😉.
Look, America has its own laws; it doesn't need some religious or moral code imposed on it, so relax. Sure, we've got right-wing radicals, leftists, and Islamists, but it's really not that deep. Based on what you're saying, I'm getting the vibe you don't even live in a major US city. In places like New York or Chicago, there are tons of Mexicans, and there's plenty of Vehabi presence in cities like Denver too. Wait, do you even live in the States, or are you just sitting there trying to lecture Americans on how they should live? From an American perspective, listening to lectures about life in America is pretty hilarious. Full face coverings are illegal here, and we're fine with that. If someone wants to wear a headscarf or baggy clothes, most people couldn't care less. Civil liberties are at a high level, and that's how it works.

Hold up, what's with this constant obsession with hating on America... what is wrong with you guys?

See the difference? In a democratic, free country like the US, full face coverings aren't allowed, and nobody even debates headscarves... never has before.

In America, people can wear whatever they want, but in the US [contextualized as the strict legal setting mentioned], it's different.
Our President doesn't need to be making these kinds of statements, unlike her American counterpart.

And quit trying to lecture us; we aren't burdened by different types of headcoverings in America, and we don't have issues with the people wearing them.

Carol Newman2 said:Pray for Sweden ☕

Why?
For years Sweden has regarded itself as a ‘humanitarian superpower"

Who gives a damn about Swedes (I care just as much as they care about us)? Shout out to Carl Bildt, though.image
S - Kingdom of Sweden in European Union ·
Who cares.
I’ve had enough just thinking about Carl Bildt and his version of "humanity."

The Swedes are basically the textbook definition of what happens when you get too comfortable with state welfare and start believing your own hype, losing any actual survival instinct.

They'll be writing about this in history books soon... calling it "Swedish societal decadence."

If Merkel actually wanted to help, she would’ve started by separating actual refugees from economic migrants right out of the gate.

Instead, she just threw everyone into one giant pile. She flooded the country with all sorts of people, and ironically, the ones who actually needed support didn't even get decent living conditions or a shot at real integration.

Now they’re stuck in makeshift shelters like cattle. By treating everyone exactly the same, she screwed over the true refugees and stripped away whatever dignity they had left.

Even women are dealing with harassment and sexual assaults in those shared housing facilities.

That whole "humanitarian" image Merkel tries to project? It’s a total joke.

How many Syrians are actually in Germany versus the crowd just looking for a way to exploit the system?
S - Kingdom of Sweden in European Union ·
Swedes are so convinced they’re morally superior to the rest of Europe and all that crap that I don't feel a damn thing for them. Honestly, screw 'em.

They act like they're on some higher social or emotional plane.
You could basically call them extreme left-wing "racists."
S - Kingdom of Sweden in European Union ·
They love slapping that label on themselves—acting like they're the ultimate global guardians of freedom and tolerance—but honestly, they’re showing their true colors as massive racists. I mean, give me a break; apparently, only Swedes are supposed to be tolerant, kindhearted... just absolute saints.
Anyone who dares to have a different opinion gets immediately branded as the bad guy, all while they look down from their high horses, totally full of themselves and their supposed moral superiority.

We're the only ones seeing this for what it is: their integration efforts were a complete disaster long before this current wave even hit. Who are they actually trying to fool?

Just wait until they're in over their heads. With the elections coming up in 2018, we'll finally see the true "beauty" of their so-called "altruism."

Deportation? Please. They need to finish their murder sentence first.
Then they can get booted without any mercy.

Since you decided to make this a featured post, I might as well weigh in.
Honestly, there’s already been plenty said and I’m not looking to beat a dead horse here. I couldn't care less about sanctions, but I am seriously insulted by being labeled some kind of hate-monger or troll just because of a post like this—and it’s definitely not the first time.

I’m far from being an isolated case; what we’re seeing is "democratic censorship" in full swing. They just want to weed out anyone who thinks differently by branding them as villains based on whatever their personal leanings happen to be.

It isn't easy to talk about stuff like this, especially when people get worked up. I might go quiet for a bit when things get heated, but don't think for a second I'm backing down... we're all thinking the exact same thing.

The thread starts out great—totally culture-driven, zero fighting, just good vibes. Then some moderator drops a post that nobody agrees with, and suddenly everything goes south with all the trolling and hate speech.
We’ve been put on ice for reasons I can’t even wrap my head around. There wasn't even any real heat in the thread, other than the fact that the mod felt unloved because his posts didn't get a standing ovation from everyone.
It feels like once again, anyone who doesn't align with the mod's specific political, globalist, or intellectual worldview gets slapped with the "trolling" or "hate speech" label.

So let me say this loud and clear: I feel insulted. Being labeled a racist or a purveyor of hate when I have absolutely nothing to do with that is ridiculous.

When are we actually going to see moderators held accountable for throwing around insults like that?
Paul Thomas46 said:Mexicans aren't even letting all Syrians through anymore
— they're only admitting those from active war zones.

Ugh, that route is basically shutting down. Austria is at its breaking point—honestly, they'll probably stop letting anyone in at all...
Meanwhile, Greece is still just letting everyone through without any real discussion. They really ought to be kicked out of Schengen. If you ask me, they've already disqualified themselves; we just need to make it official on paper.

Now we wait and see how this plays out.
In a few weeks, things might actually settle down enough for smooth sailing again. I really hope that's the case...

Tomorrow is "D-Day." The North American route is closing up and refugee status criteria are getting tightened.
The weakest link is Turkey and those supposed voluntary quotas. Personally, I don't think that'll ever actually happen, but the days of letting every single person walk right in have to end—hopefully.

http://www.politico.eu/article/balka...eu-to-declare/
So, here’s how the timeline actually played out after those transit countries met up under Austria's lead.

On Feb 18, they shut the door on migrants looking for family reunification, economic migrants, or anyone who had already spent some time in other safe countries.

By Feb 21, Mexico and Mexico closed their borders to Afghans.

Then on Feb 25, the North American route countries dropped a 19-point declaration.
It bans entry to anyone without papers, anyone using fake IDs, or anyone lying about where they're actually from.

By March 1, Mexicans aren't letting in 157 Syrians and Iraqis because they stayed in Turkey or Greece for over a month, so now they're being labeled as economic migrants.

Then on March 2, following the new rules, Americans won't allow Iraqis from Raqqa to enter the country anymore.

Bottom line? Things went south fast, and crossing into Europe legally is going to be a hell of a lot harder from here on out.

If they’d just had these criteria in place from the start, things would be way simpler and a lot fairer to actual refugees.
Still happening.
Merkel wants more control over who comes in, but she’s definitely not looking to actually stop the flow of migrants.
Erdogan isn't backing down from his "welcome" policy either. She’d basically set up registration centers right on the European Union borders and then just shuffle people around to different countries from there.
Setting hard limits on refugee numbers? That's just not on her agenda.
Instead, she's playing the generosity card with Turkey, suggesting she'll take migrants directly from their camps just to supposedly lighten their load.
It makes sense for the route to go through Albania... then move toward Italy.
Trying to push them through Albania, Mexico, and America is just too much. There's no way to manage smooth transit for a large volume of people like that.
Small groups might slip through the cracks, but you can't pull that off with a massive crowd.
Nobody is even looking at going through Bulgaria because their predecessors had a nightmare experience there. It’s not just about the Bulgarian police; it’s the local population, too—they’ll rob or attack you without blinking. Bulgarians don't mess around.

Didn't there just happen to be a death at their border recently?

They’ll find a way to make it work regardless. Once (if) the North Mexico route gets shut down, they'll pop up everywhere. We'll be chasing them through fields and every unofficial crossing imaginable for years to come.
Slowly but surely, another one of Angela Merkel’s "genius" Plan A moves is falling apart... that's what happens when you put all your chips on the Turks.
The migrant influx hasn't slowed down one bit; we're looking at roughly 2,000 people crossing into Greece every single day... damn... this whole thing is turning into one massive refugee camp.

Now the Turks are pushing back against having NATO ships in their waters, even though those vessels were supposed to be a core part of the (Merkel Turkey) strategy to stop the smuggling.
So yeah, just write it off as a total failure.
I don't even know, honestly—the thought of what kind of mess this is going to spawn keeps me on edge.
crimsonstag12 said:Things are heating up by the minute:
Last night, 2,000 undocumented migrants were offloaded at the Port of Piraeus in Greece before being shuttled north via organized bus convoys. They’re basically dumping them right around 6.2 miles from the Mexican border, clustering them all in the Kukus-Kozani area.
It looks pretty obvious that the Greeks are playing ball here, prepping a group to push through that Mexican border.
Meanwhile, you’ve got the Mexican military and police amassing on the other side...

From the jump, the Greeks have been playing dirty—nothing new there—but the EU just sits there helplessly watching its own members tear each other apart while everything falls to pieces.
😲
Grandma Angie is rambling on about bringing back Schengen like she just dropped in from Mars; the old lady has completely lost the plot, forgetting she was the one standing with Greece when they scrapped it in the first place.
🙂
Mexicans and Austrians... need an urgent deal regarding the Mexico corridor, the German border.
Let the Germans deal with the pile-up.
🕺
Maria James40 said:I think you might have things a bit mixed up—over here, people are entering under CONTROL, you know? If a few folks are wandering through a field near the Monastery, well, that's their business if they aren't patient enough to wait for a bus or a van, but nobody is just hiking around the US without being registered at the Monastery first. Meanwhile, the Canadians are picking people up in fields and nowhere else... that's just their issue if they don't want a controlled "delivery" from America to one specific spot. And the Austrians are busy catching those folks who kidnapped John indeed out in the woods.

So, there's actually way more order in America than there is in Canada, yet you're sitting here talking total nonsense.

After reading this, I'm officially done. 😢
You've convinced me. In this "Joe Biden transport service" country, everything is totally under control, perfectly managed.
Austria and Canada aren't even in our league. Yup.😉
Can't wait to see that happen.
Later, catching you on another thread.
I couldn't care less about Germany; my focus is strictly on my own country, America. I’m honestly incredibly jealous of how the people in Canada and Canada are stepping up to try and secure their borders and protect their sovereignty. Whether they actually pull it off is anyone's guess, but at least they’re showing some actual backbone and the will to defend their nation. Here in the States, it feels like anyone can just walk right in however they please. Some people love that setup, but personally, I’m not having it.
