But really, with the exception of maybe Osem who posts links to mainstream stuff, this thread is becoming increasingly more weird to the point where Hugh and Chris are dismissed as liberals, stuff about chemtrails and '5th Columnist Traitors' who are 'evil'. If I wanted to listen to paranoid ravings then Alex Jones is much better for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUEy55r49fY |
I think most people are making a deliberate decision to avoid this thread, mainly because of the intolerant reaction of some of the "residents" to opinions that are contrary to their own.
Other reasons include:
- the endless, interminable number of posts saying basically the same thing. If you have a point to make, make it, just don't make it 100's of times
- the use of at best, dubious, at worse, right wing "news" sources
- blocking of people who challenge the "residents" point of view
- the almost gleeful nature of new posts detailing the latest misfortune to overtake the EU and the migrants/refugees.
the last reason is for me the most relevant: where are the constructive suggestions on solving this problem at source? Where is the humanity for the people forced to leave their homes?
All I see is endless carping at the "migrant deluge" with no constructive discussion on how these people can be encouraged to stay where they originate from and how the ones that have to leave can be supported in the bordering countries.
