Okay. I feel like it's time for experiment ! Or, one might say, "reproducing the behavior of which is spoken".

"I think the immigration flows into Europe are over the top, the EU population cannot seriously be expected to cope with them, or with the economic consequences of said flows, without massive protests"

This is not even a racist statement, at least not in my opinion. But it is definitely "something you can't say". Let's see how quickly this post gets downvoted.

One might argue "but surely nobody would be baited out that easily and transparently", right ? Let's see.

I leave myself fully open to being shown to be very wrong here. I'm making it real easy. All that has to be done is that such a statement must be left alone when it's an obvious bait, and in facts repeats 3 times that it is bait.

Let's see.




But late to the party, but:

> the EU population cannot seriously be expected to cope with them, or with the economic consequences of said flows, without massive protests

This statement makes no sense. People don’t like it, therefore it’s bad? Not an argument against it.

:)


Well I must admit I'm wrong. Glad to see it actually.
