    The planetary ecosystem is undergoing a K-T scale mass extinction. Isn’t that enough for everyone?

    To any Australians, Europe is in total anarchy, expats are out pricing natives on the housing market and gentrifying cities while living in their own expat shadow society. They don’t even integrate, they don’t respect the local culture and you can’t even speak the native language in many yuppie neighborhoods anymore. smh.

          The point i was making but it doesn’t need explaining if you (want to) think about it.
          This is what made me reply:

          Have a nice day.

    I first understood that maybe 15 years ago, when I was in the UK during the supposed mass riots there. My parents read about that in the media (European public service broadcast news) about the anarchic circumstances and were worried about me.

    I was in one of the cities hit hardest, according to the media, and my flat was actually right at the location this was about.

    All that really happened was a single demonstration that was mostly peaceful without any vandalism. That’s it.

    I’m in Finland. Over here every summer there’s always some streets that are being repaved or major public service buildings that gets closed due to “renovations”. Ha, I know that’s just a government cover-up. They don’t want us to know about the looting gangs who apparently have access to stealth technology!

    Looks arouns: families making a living, my doctor visit was for free, and a friend is about to take a huge redundancy package thanks to state laws that mandate his company to compensate.

    We are so fallen.

      You pay for your doctor visit with taxes. It wasn’t free.

      Europe is a big place, France is in heavy crisis because of their debt. Torre Pacheco in Spain has some immigrant issues (almost 30% of it’s population it’s non-eu immigrants)

        no fucking shit. Everyone knows it was paid for by taxes, but it’s still significantly cheaper than paying for it up front like you would in america.

          Just pointing out it’s not free. That’s how you get government official saying public money belongs to no one.

          Edit. I never did the math on which costs me more money but it’s around 2k for public healthcare in Spain per person, but my employer pays for my private healthcare (if I add another person is about 40€, including dental which public healthcare doesn’t cover everything), but also if I have to get surgery they would send me to the public one…

        Plenty of people, like students and old people, who didn’t pay taxes because they don’t have income. Who still get the same service.

        To them it is free.

        Also, even if your statistic isn’t made up (which I doubt), why should it matter that 30% are non-eu immigrants? Are they not allowed to live there or something?

          Students sure, but everyone that is an adult pays for that. Elder people already paid for that their whole live.

          Total population: 41.684
          National Population: 28.780
          EU population: 977
          Non-eu population: 11.927
          

          39% crime increase in 2022, 4,1% increase in 2025. 10,7% increase in robberies, more sexual related crimes.

          The population has grown over 60% since the start of this century. Most of that immigrant population is from Maghreb. Some are illegal but the exact number is unknown. The current protests began when 4 illegal immigrants beat an elder man.

      I AM PLANNING A VACAY-CAYS. While on a proper mass transit. Vacaycays, I can afford them and I will be paid for days off.

      I also cannot decide to which cultural event to go. There is like some open air cinema, with classics screening. Or go for a niche artsy stuff.

      I think Europe is in a bad shape.

      And nazi russia should rush in and just fucking raze it to the ground.

    Sky news in Australia is far worse than Fox in the US. It’s little more than a shout box for small minded racists.

    To add a little bit of context, what happened in Spain was actually the opposite: gangs of fascists terrorising immigrant communities.

    I’m in Spain, and can confirm, It’s pandemonium and anarchy here. For example, one of my neighbors has spent more than an hour making drilling noises, and someone hasn’t picked up their dog’s shit. We are a few hours away from total collapse!

      Also the very government drives through the street with a huge truck at 3am. Extends a robot arm to pick up the glass bin and empties it loudly. It’s a warzone out here.
