This is not about Europe, I will lock it. Usually, offtopic threads are removed.

There’s been reports for this link to be an ad… we’re allowing it nonetheless because the discussion is very rich (I, personally agree with many of the criticism that were done: products may not be socially or environmentally friendly, or even it may be better to support an European artist). The EU parliament is more like a tool, and sometimes it does work well. Oftentimes it just makes decisions that are not aligned with our values as a community. Nonetheless, the EU flag is nowadays an important symbol that’s being undermined by bigots and propaganda. That’s why I’ve been ignoring the reports of this as an ad. I believe the underlying message to be more important. And, as I said, the discussion here has brought very good points that I wouldn’t have thought so just by myself.

Best regards, anzo.

We received a report for Racism, but we are not removing this comment as such to encourage discussion… a way more efficient way to fight propaganda and bigotry. Please keep it civil.

Unfortunately, many people believe that immigrants are the ones driving criminality (e.g. knife attacks) yet the reality is that there are as many knife attacks done by Germans. Only media (e.g. Bild) are amplifying and showing a distorted view on society because of political interests. For example, the last attack was done by a german person and instead of being labeled as terrorist they called it a person with psicological problems :/

Cheers, anzo
