Europe@feddit.org•Russian spies ‘linked to people-smuggling gangs destabilising Europe’English
1·12 days agoI’m not singling anyone out. This is an article about Europeans and I’m pointing out that they’re racist because it’s about them and not about anyone else.
I agree with you that it’s very human to be racist and it’s not something special about Europe. But that doesn’t make it right and we have been better than that in the past.

1·12 days agoI never denied Russian interference. All I said is that migration could only weaponised because Europeans are racist and hate that brown people want to come to Europe.
That Russia is also involved in making Nazi parties in Europe big is another issue that fuels the first. But if centrist politicians would have actually tried to combat the "migration crisis“ narrative instead of parroting it hoping to win back votes things might have gone differently.
But instead we have Nazi parties and former centrist parties turned right wing all over Europe cucking either for Putin and/or Trump or trying to differentiate themselves by being "moderate“ which is just doing racist and pro-corporate liberal politics.
As it is, most voters (not people) and most parties in European parliaments are defacto right wing. This isn’t something to argue about, that’s just statistics.

2·12 days agoLmao I still didn’t hear any arguments why my take is "dumb“. It follows a pretty simple premise -> conclusion structure. But instead of challenging my premise to invalidate my conclusion you just keep calling me dumb or pro-Russian or a troll or whatever.

34·14 days agoIt only works because Europeans are racist. If Europeans would be like "hi! welcome, nice that you’re here“ it wouldn’t destabilize Europe and Russia would try something else.

Big research hates this trick
Yeah I get that but we just have to move past Zionism as a concept because the genocide is not a mishap of some bad apples, it’s the logical consequence of the Zionist ideology and any genocial ideology must simply be rejected as a whole.
It’s a horrible movie that is
- not funny; ok that’s subjective but I really don’t think Adam Sandler is funny independently of his political views
- reducing crimes against humanity such as genocide, colonialism and apartheid to "people just need to get along“ which is a common liberal Zionist narrative to whitewash said crimes
Adam Sandler is a Zionist it hardly gets more nasty than that
But would he find out which grandma‘s pasta is the best to fuck or would he find out which grandma making pasta is the best to fuck?

Europe@feddit.org•Twenty years on: Did joining the EU make new members richer?English
1·23 days agoThe US is so inequal that anything else on that plot is impossible to interpret. That’s why the US is relevant to mention here. Although this does not apply exclusively to the US.
OP then mentions that inequality has not risen in the last 20 years in Europe which is wrong, but not visible in the plot,
- because it selectively focuses on only one metric
- because next to the US even an uptrend looks marginal
And I mean it’s not even wrong in a sense that there is different ways to see it, it’s just wrong in a way that OP is actually spreading false information.
Regarding Piketty yeah I hope some people actually read that, glad you did!

112·24 days agoBecause it’s not worth engaging with this person I just copy paste my answer to the other place where they posted this.
Thanks for linking a source but this is a misleading interpretation, please don’t try to argue with data if you don’t know how to interpret it.
You need to look at e.g. the top 10%, middle 40% and bottom 50% to get a proper idea. And then look at it country by country because the scales don’t match. Yes, the USA are extremely inequal, I think back to like 1913 level in 2013 or something like that iirc, so if you put them on a plot with e.g. France, France will look great.
But if you look at France alone you get a different picture and inequality is rising again since the 80s. Here’s an article by a French economist with research focus on inequality which cites the same data: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/inequalities/2025/09/24/global-inequality-in-historical-perspective-part-1/

I had to pull an all nighter to fix some unoptimized query because I had just launched a new website with barely any visitors and hadn’t implemented caching yet for something that I thought no one uses anyway, but a bot found it and broke my entire DB through hitting the endpoint again and again until nothing worked anymore
