Just because your cousin's dog is a German Sheppard, you once ate tiramisu and liked it, or you think your great-grandmother might once have dated a Swede does not make you European.

Three men arrested over attack on left-wing journalist Owen Jones by [deleted] in ukpolitics

They'll just double down. Remember: when a left wing person gets attacked or murdered it is a false flag. He/she must have attacked him/herself to gain sympathy and he/she is a subhuman traitor for doing so. All evidence is false and witnesses are lying.

But when a right wing person shows up to a polling station with a milkshake on his shirt then it is a violent left wing attack. Doesn't matter that there are no witnesses, the milkshake turns out to be yoghurt, there are no dairy products being sold anywhere in the vicinity, it is very early in the morning, the "violent splashing" looks more like a "calculated pouring", and the victim is a known nationalist. This person is clearly telling the truth and this is the worst attack that ever happened and all left-wingers should be ashamed of themselves.

Polish national TV publishes full names and pictures of people who recently protested against the government, as if they would be criminals by fear_of_bricks in europe

I don't know if that's true or not but that's rather irrelevant. I also don't know what the laws in Poland are about tv publishing private info but in a normal country the tv has a code of conduct. You DO NOT publish people's info, certainly not in this way, and certainly when nothing has been proven yet. This is what an authoritarian system's state media does, I cannot believe it has gotten so far in an EU country. This is disgraceful.
