Leaving the EU is akin to burning down your own country in order to become King of the ashes. I think I'm quoting Game of Thrones here...

goethe42 posted:You shouldn't feel guilty, it was a superbly crafted joke, even working with multiple levels of irony: I like it that you're being sardonic about the irony while the jokes were very funny at an unironic face-value. In other News Nazi-like party AfD is poised to make great gains in the federal elections! Wow! Such irony!

Riso posted:We could also just put all Germans into a place called Germany and then force them to not let in foreigners and protect their borders all the while paying France a lot of money to keep their nukes pointed somewhere else. You left out the part where the second guy asks the Genie to build a 300m tall wall along the border and then the third guy asks him to fill the whole thing with water.

Riso posted:You will find a 10m tall wall is sufficient. Considering physical geography, a 2.962km tall wall migh be necessary for our purposes here. e: because we're not talking about the same thing maybe???

Freezer posted:No one is advicating genocide, just deep structural reforms. 300m deep, to be accurate. Now there's an idea! Instead of building a wall, we just lower Germany by a few hundred meters. Then let nature run its course.

Flowers For Algeria posted:IN OTHER NEWS, and not only because I can't loving brook gun debates spilling in threads where they are irrelevant, the French Cour de Cassation (highest court there is in matters of justice, in short) has just validated the legality of the wiretaps on Nicolas Sarkozy's phone conversations with his lawyer in which he discussed his plans for peddling influence for the benefit of a judge of that very Cour de Cassation, in exchange for insider info on some other affairs. If Sarkozy had had a gun nothing like this would have happened.

Please apologize for even bringing up that imperialist filth. Hey I'll have you know I'm a direct descendant of both Charlemagne AND Attila.* *Just like everyone else.

GaussianCopula posted:Why don't people get it? The Greek people are sovereign but if their government unilaterally nullifies treaties, they have to live with the consequences and they can't turn water into wine by popular vote. You see it with the British people, where they now can either decide to stick to the treaties or quit the EU, Greece has the same options. You mean like how France is always following the 3% rule? Because they don't want to get kicked out?

GaussianCopula posted:All member states still have perfect sovereignty because they are free to invoke article 50, which will free them from the shackles of the EU. They will however have to live with the consequences of that decision. If they want to stay in the EU, they will have to play by the rules of the EU. Once again, no.

Kassad posted:That bill's been debated for months, not a chance. Odds are it's just that it passing was a foregone conclusion and so most representatives didn't even bother to show for the final vote. You'd think the national legislature would require a minimum % of representatives to be present for a bill to be legit but This or maybe being a politician and associated with prostitution for any reason is a bad idea in twenty sixteen France.

Brainiac Five posted:See, using phrases like "adhering to structures with historical legacy of political bias" doesn't improve the intellectual content, it just obfuscates the core argument of "We can talk fascists into giving up" for the idiots who populate these threads. It's broader than that, structures can also mean religious structures. "Adhering to structures with historical legacy of political bias" is fine, sorry about your five reptilian brains.

waitwhatno posted:I really hope that the world takes Brexit as a warning sign that all our populations are getting more and more retarded and self-destructive. Personally, I blame YouTube lets plays, the decline of personal human interaction, internet echo chambers and chemicals in the drinking water. Someone should do something about these things. Also, reptiloids. I'm cutting myself on all these edges.

waitwhatno posted:It's true, think about it. YouTube lets plays are part of our growing culture of isolation and loneliness. The number of people with depression and burn-outs is on the rise, people feel frustrated and lost. They look for human contact on the internet where they meet likeminded people who share their opinions and personality and create echo chamber. Disassociating from reality and sane political beliefs. OK I guess you won me over.

pigdog posted:I think it's easy to get a skewed view of the world when your culture dominates the world, and your native language is the lingua franca spoken by everybody including the space aliens on TV. The statehood and nationality of the USA is exceptional. But it came at an expense of a massive holocaust of hundreds of smaller, native American cultures. And this is why, from that day forward, no American ever called themself nothing other than "American", never once using hyphenation to qualify their one and only American-ness.
