The General Political Thread

[StevenChilton]

Most of these social diseases originate from Germany.

Can anyone tell me a list of positive things Germany has done for the world, or even just the European portion of it? I genuinely can't think of any.

[Duuring]

What 'social diseases'? This article is incredibly ambigious.

[StevenChilton]

Obviously he's talking about family breakdown (divorce, single-parent families, abortion, low fertility rates, etc) and social disintegration (multiculturalism, Islamic extremism, mass immigration, etc). You could also add a breakdown in law and order to that too.

[Tharan]

Curious to see people opinions of the UK government's plan to make tenants fees illegal to rent a property illegal?

Obviously he's talking about gay marriage and rights for women. See, he's talking so unspecified you can spin this either way.

[DaMonkey]

Obviously he's talking about rampant republicanism.

He's talking to a domestic Polish audience who know what PiS stand for, and criticism of Western social decay are a well-known part of their platform.

[Duuring]

In that case it surely included gay marriage, or even LGBT rights in general.

Probably, will have to ask my wife, but it's understood in Poland what is meant the same way Americans understand what 'Drain the Swamp' entails.

Also watching the Swedish election. 18% is pretty good and SD dragged most parties to the right on social issues. Could have done better tho...

Yeeeah... I think Sweden's pretty far gone at this point. On the bright side these new Swedish contracts enabling sex between partners will mean more work for you though right, eh Steven?

Luckily that was debunked, but Sweden will have a lot of problems with drunk sex, i.e. drunk women claiming they were raped by a drunk man after meeting at a bar or whatever. A very large number (perhaps the majority) of UK rape cases going through the courts are essentially that.

Expect the full might of the German two operational platoons to deploy to Syria soon... Because that's about what they have left that still works.

[Von Bergen]

There will never be a yes to a military strike in our parliament atm, and without that no strike because constitution. The Option without the parliament mentoined is not given as it is held back for emergencys, not for Situations that need quick actions for the sake of efficency

[Ted]

I really don't see how an attack on the Syrian regime could be constitutional. The Bundeswehr is only meant to defend, there's no way of explaining how it would be defending Germany by bombing Assad.
