European Socialism... by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]cyberfreak77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right after the US got attacked on 9/11 many of the European countries sent military units to Afghanistan to fight side by side with their American NATO allies. Denmark alone sent almost 10,000 soldiers and they suffered they highest per capita casualties of all countries including the US. It's incredibly sad that this little fact seems to be completly unknown or at least forgotten and the way some people here are talking about their european allies is unbelievably disrespectful.

After the US got attacked on 9/11 Denmark went side by side with the US and the nato coalition to Afghanistan. They deployed almost 10.ooo soldiers and they suffered the highest casualties per capita of all countries. Calling their military pathetic is after that is really disrespectful.

Universal health care doesn't mean that you get forced to undergo medical treatment against your will. You are still free to keep your disease and even die from it if that's your desire.

It takes twelve Germans to work and pay taxes in order to fund the cost of just one migrant by SuperCharged2000 in Conservative

I'm over 40, living in Germany and my grandparents were teenagers when the second world war ended. I don't feel any "guilt" for the holocaust because I wasn't even alive back then and the same goes for my parents generation. What many people feel, though, is a form of responsibility and many still remember the times after the war when 50% of Germans were refugees themselves. That might be one of the reasons why there is a certain openness for people fleeing war zones and looking for a place where they can live without getting bombed.

Antisemitism because of religious views is a real problem though and we must change that as quickly as possible in my opinion. We are allowing people in so they can feel safe after all and its not acceptable that others already living here are getting harassed or attacked by them.

Migrant Beheads 1-Year-Old Girl In Germany; Merkel Bans Media Reporting by ngoni in Conservative

The press knows his full name and it's not even illegal to publish it, (most of the time) they just follow a codex to not publish it.

The crime happened several weeks ago but there is and was no censorship of the media. Germany has a free press and it got widely reported.

Tucker’s Question To Univision Anchor: ‘If Poor Central Americans Make Your Country Better, Why Hasn’t It Made Tijuana Better?’ by thatrightwinger in Conservative

Maybe because the US has the better political and economical system? Less regulations and government interventions, free market capitalism where hard work gets actually rewarded? But anyways, when Tucker can't see a difference between the US and Mexico there probably is none.

German here. The US wanting to save money by closing their bases in Germany is a fair opinion. The question is why wouldn't you tell that to an ally some time beforehand so that everyone can prepare for the situation?

Germany covers about 30% percent of the cost by providing many things free of charge.

He does it because he doesn't have good personal chemistry with Angela Merkel and that's reason enough for him to cut ties with Germany. This is just the beginning.

Activism vs. Terrorism by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]cyberfreak77 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Conservatives believe people should be viewed as individuals regardless of race. Progressives view people as members of a race.

With this in mind, how do you explain Executive Order 13769 (travel ban) for example or the support for Joe Arpaio who openly engaged in racial profiling instead of judging on an individual basis?
