It's a slippery slope. Soon they'll have two separate queues, and one of them will be called "fatties".

Fucking hell in the picture he had the same face my grandma had when we were trying to teach her how to record stuff on her vcr.

"And this, Mr President, is how you launch you browser".

"Launch? Like, missiles?"

Bollocks, you're talking about your anecdotal impression while repeating the government false selling points without data to back yours or their statements.

Italy is 14th in Europe by ratio of immigrants compared to the resident population. Link. So, it's not that immigrants infested hellhole you picture.

"Secondo Eurostat, al 1º gennaio 2017 l'Italia era il quarto Paese dell'U.E. per popolazione immigrata, ovvero nata all'estero, con 6,1 milioni di immigrati, dopo Germania (12,1 milioni), Regno Unito (9,3 milioni) e Francia (8,2 milioni), appena davanti alla Spagna (6,0 milioni)[2]. Per numero di stranieri (inclusi gli apolidi) in percentuale rispetto al totale della popolazione residente, l'Italia si classificava al quattordicesimo posto (su 28) nell'Unione Europea (con l'8,3% di immigrati sul totale della popolazione). "

Crime in Italy is decreasing FAST. In this chart you can see how it went from the 90s. And it's still one of the safest countries in Europe and in the world.

Edit: let's paste another bit:

"Italy has a lower per capita rate of rape than most of the advanced Western countries in the European Union.[14]

According to Police authorities data, the rate of sexual assaults per 100,000 inhabitants is significantly higher in the Northern region than in the Southern ones. In 2009, Lombardia and Emilia Romagna were the regions with the highest rate of sexual offences per 100.000 inhabitants (9.7); followed by Trentino Alto Adige and Tuscany (9.5); Piedmont and Liguria (8.6); Umbria (8.4). In this respect, all major Southern regions like Sicily (6.8); Calabria (6.5); Apulia (6.2); Campania (6,0) were the safest in the national territory, with the only exception of Friuli Venezia Giulia (5.1) in the North.[15] "

/edit

Nonetheless, since Meloni's went to power, illegal landings have almost doubled, in face of her promises of being this iron wall against immigration.

The EU IS doing a big part in handling the problem, I can tell you from first hand experience since my wife works in a center for underage immigrants. We're getting a HUGE amount of money from the EU to handle them, both in food, education and everything needed.

Thing is (and, again, this is from first hand experience), those funds are available upon request, and in the vast majority of cases local councils fail to apply for them. This is either because they're not aware of them, they don't have technicians specialized in these kind of legal procedures and bids, they fail to put in practice the requirements and all that.

So, again, incompetence has a big part. And guess what. What Salvini did recently was to make it almost impossible for immigrants to acquire work permits, in a show of "toughness".

The result is that you have a bunch of people already in the country who would be perfectly happy to do legally all the stuff Italians don't want to do (like working in the fields in the summer, cleaning etc, and can not.

So they end up in the streets.

The situation is complex, simplifying it into "my city is full of black raping people and the EU does nothing" is beyond ignorant.

This is the kind of narrow minded, uninformed point of view upon which all populists thrive.

"The immigrants will make the country collapse! Vote for me! I'll keep all those blacks away!".

No, 70k people will not cause a country of 65 million people, the 8th economy in the world, to collapse.
Incompetent governments will. As well as outdated economic policies, lack of innovation, excessive fiscal pressure and whatnot.
The footprint of a bunch of people who lives on 10 Euro a day isn't even a rounding error. Inflating their significance and supporting the ignorance of the subject is what brings right wingers into power.

It's the narrow thought process of one who has always lived in the she spot, I would imagine.

Man have you heard of Uber? If one has an emergency there are solutions to your convoluted example, you know.

I'm shocked, who would have thought that no gun control whatsoever could result in gun deaths.

Jesus christ you're a moron.

Ah, pun threads, I really don't miss them.

We were at the point where I would click a major news article and I had to scroll a few dozen comments before there was something even remotely relevant to whatever was happening.

Aye

Sadly, it seems to be a fact.

I never use the term "shithole country". First because, I don't know, it's often used to address poor African countries, and those in particular are fucked because of direct consequences of Western policies and colonialism.

Second, because it was used by fucking Trump and I'd rather not.

But Russia really is a shithole country, Jesus. A grim, evil, arrogant, fucked up, good for nothing shithole country.

Also, this seems like a much, MUCH better PR move than throwing paint at masterpieces in fucking museums.
I don't know who thought that was something that would have moved the public opinion towards their cause.

In theory I'd agree with you. I don't mind reading of nuances or different opinions than mine.

In general however, conservative media are worthless piece of shit embarrassments that I don't want to waste time on.

There's a difference between discussing with sometime with a different opinion, and stopping in the middle of the road responding to every deranged, mentally challenged ignorant mean crack addict who yells their vision of the world from the top of a soap box.

Yes.

If anything, traffic lights have often cameras, and they don't give a shit if it's night or not..

I don't know what "being registered to vote" means exactly in the US, but intuitively it sounds like an unnecessary level of complication and an undemocratic practice.

Not that my country (Italy) can be taken as an example, but even being it the paradigm of red tape and overcomplicating things, people automatically get a voting card wherever they're living and they vote.

It feels like there's room for improvement tbh.

Any Russian officer when promoted to a position of power: "aw FUCK".

Your well thought and well written post will likely land on deaf ears.

In my experience, evidence, logical arguments and simple common sense are completely ineffective with the kind of people who think "drugs bad and that's it" and are convinced that more War on Drugs is the solution. Despite the fact that all the evidence around us shows that it's not.

Not to be a dick but if they don't like it they could do something about it themselves. Hoping that "the world will do something" rarely has good results.

Aha yes he should embrace it.

Like Daniel Radcliffe and Elija Wood, they said that people keep confusing them with the other, so when people ask for an autograph with the wrong name they just play along.
