I've heard it suggested to bring rifles instead of flags. Nothing is more American and patriotic than a rifle after all. Police is also tempted to stay quietly and politely at the side of things when you carry a rifle and suddenly stops trying to escalate things.

I'd say that you are spot on and people in the West who want to believe in strange middle east cults can do so quietly at home and not bother anyone with their hokey faith. That goes for Muslims, Jews, Christians and the rest of them.

The immigration cannot be stopped without seriously inhumane measures like shooting at people who try to cross your border. And even that will barely make a dent. I'm not giving up my humanity for a few percent drop in immigration. The immigration situation in Europe is born of the knowledge that if you want this to happen peacefully you have to give immigrants a shot at making a life here without having to turn to crime.

The fact that this bothers you is more proof of the succes of right wing propaganda than anything else.

If you look at the past there have always been people moving about, sometimes they successfully integrated or mixed cultures, sometimes it was genocide in one direction or the other. Hard measures like seriously closing borders are bids for war.

No, the private funding of politicians, which nowhere in the world happens as thoroughly or blatantly as in the US, is another issue to solve. It's companies pushing for privatization of services that they sabotage first to show that the government doesn't do well with them. It's like the postal service headed by that Trump appointee that was a big cheese in a transport firma. I forgot his name.

You think the state of NASA isn't caused by privately funded politicians?

Peace talks? How about their troops fuck off right back home and they release whatever is left of the kidnapped children. Then they can talk about compensation for every crime their troops committed. Their current idea of peace talks is along the lines of "Ukraine should give up most of it's land, people and resources and we promise not try to take more this week."

I'm fully expecting a great American famine shortly given the way they hinder imports (think of Canadian potash), fuck over immigrant workers, threw away loads of water that California farmers will be in dire need of this summer. There aee a lot of soybeans grown for export that just didn't get harvested because of the trade war. I sure hope the government cheese lasts long enough.

I understand these protesters, but you don't stop this by going after the lackeys, but by going after the king and his court.

The Sikh do yes, I don't trust the rest of the religious "good works" one bit. i read your argument here now and then but I don't believe it.

To add, in the Netherlands, known for it's stellar bike infrastructure it's exactly with actions like this that they reclaimed their cities from being purely car oriented.

Gonna be kicked in the big balls?

I've owned a few Volkswagens and yes when they are over 12:years old they start having issues, before that they never ever let me down.
