Growing rift? UK+Europe

[Bereta_Eder]

the whole thing is tuned into destroying the social state and eroding workers rights that have been gained through struggles and blood. and instead of stopping and finding ways to protect it and them, the political elites simply apologize and point the finger at "the global economic situation" probably the biggest chimera since i dont know when. the point is not to "negotiate" with the neoliberal plague but to smash it from the bottom up hence forcing the political elites to take a minimum distance from their financial overlords. imo.

Are you bloody nuts?

The rift is not growing, the rift has always been there. Sometimes it's just more noticeable.

The Brits just can't make up their minds if they want to be part of Europe or not. The rest is just ordinary bickering that seems to pretty much define Europe, indiscriminate of the nations involved (I can assure you Dutch-Belgian and Dutch-French relations are just as 'bad', just less high-profile in international media).

It beats killing each other, so I'm not complaining...

Although it does seem to be affiliated to the French culture, since *all* of the examples you pointed out feature one party speaking French

(I can´t think of any such dispute involving the Germans or Austrians, apart from the never ending story of Turkey´s membership status...)

Oh please do sod off. It's liberalism which has brought Europe and European-rooted cultures to its current status in the world.

eastern europeans are often the worse jannisaries of the neoliberals but it will pass when you'll get the capitalist stake deep into your ass and realize what's the game. the problem then, that is after you realize you were acting like the slurping neophyte, is to get it out.

Look at Sweden in riches countries list of 1960. Look at Sweden in richest countries list in 2005. PWND, young Turk

if you think what a jannisary was, you'd find it very fitting

[Bereta_Eder]

you didnt learn your lesson well little neoliberal jannisary, sweden has one of the biggest social states and taxation, it's a liberalist's worse nightmare. and of course, by saying sweden, you prove my words about why it's essential to avoid liberalist policies

Oh I do know, paiktis. Have your balls grown back since I cut them off, perhaps? Sorry about that, btw.

liberalism= less taxes, less social state, less workers rights


sweden= of the highest taxation, massive social state, adequate workers rights (in that it's not much better than other countrie).

So you're too lazy to do some basic googling? THAT'S what a social state does to people, they become LAZY
