With the same annoying constant criticisms like there are towards Americans? idk, i frequent international sites and pages and when talking about nationalities its mostly "blah blah blah Americans Americans Americans this!! Americans that!" with Russians coming in at a close second.

Your "international" site is still written in English isn't it ?
The US accounts for 75% of the native English speaker, so if you surf the English web, of course people will likely mention the US. Most natives of an other language will be more likely to go to sites in their own language. Just try a Spanish "international" website and you'll very likely see more Mexican and Spanish bashing than discussions about American.

Western Europe is finished. They had a good run while it lasted, they truly did, but in the end they chose to emasculate their men with radical feminism and created a society of government-dependent permanent students. The majority cast off their very own heritage, Christianity, and replaced it with a religion of unsustainable socialism, cultural marxism, anti-racism, anti-Christianity, anti-Europeanism, anti-Americanism, atheism, state moralism and other feel-good self-defeating principles. Believers refuse to re-examine their beliefs and continue to cling to their ideologies even in the face of imminent collapse, and look to blame the Americans, the Jews, and anyone and anything but their coveted new religious ideals for their steep decline.
You know, I'm usually more in favour of defending Americans, but this kind of post makes it a bit difficult. Talking about failed experiments, what about the 2008 crisis ?

Also, being French, I'm jealous of your level of arrogance, obviously.


About the subject/ I'm glad Americans are interested in what is happening right now in Europe. Even if it mostly translates on this board in racist or ignorant posting, at least it means that people everywhere have an interest in what is happening in other countries.

When I lived in the US, I observed that many people went to mass on Sundays. They went to their respective church or synagoge as people did in Europe in the past.

By observing the opinions of Americans here, I see that many of the comments have a religious component. Certain apocaliptic frame of mind which was very European centuries ago. You can also perceive the slightly paranoic views of Jewish congregation and media.

Unfortunately, they do have a religios right which is important, which is a bad for the right and because religions and politics produce monsters. I have some experience.

So, what's the religious component or religious percentage of most of the "peculiar" opinions exposed here?

Before receiving accusations of being atheistic or impious, I'm a cultural catholic and I feel very Catholic during the eve of the 24th of December and when I watch certain sections of Ben Hur. I also prefer being Cultural Catholic to Baptist and Adventist, which are devoid of mystery and above all, devoid of Gothic and Romanesque Cathedrals.

How do you know who is American and who is Jewish on this thread, and why does it matter?

Also why does it matter whether or not someone practices a faith? What does any of this nonsense have to do with migration in Europe?

It matters because people that go to church or synagogues receive sermons, a lot of preaching or read religious-related media. You can detect Jewish or people influenced by Jewish media because their message is always similar.

It has to do with migration to Europe because many posters here are talking as if Europe was being destroyed by Islam, which is ridiculous as the problem is not religious. Their message is similar to the panic cries of many rabbies when Palestinians were fighting for Palestina.

Aha, so you're an anti-Semite. Got it.

And you're sympathetic to radical Islam, therefore you see no problem with radical Islam taking over secular societies. Got it.

I sincerely hope your opinions are not representative of Europe, or Europe is completely doomed.

Ah yes, the anti-Semite ranting about the "Jewish media" and how Jews "all think the same", and who has no problem with ISIS in secular Europe (but of course has a big problem with Jews in Europe), doesn't wish to discuss anymore.

Thanks for clearing things up, and leaving no doubt where you stand.
