    Roma are pretty cool and I’ve had the pleasure of calling some friends…but while they have a culture I’ve not seen the active hostility towards homeless people in the way even centrist Euros see the Roma.

    Like talk to a balding French accountant and in the middle of a dinner he’ll say he saw a Roma family playing football in a nearby courtyard and suggest someone set their house on fire while they were distracted. And not as a joke, as a suggestion for a fun evening activity that had to be gently dissuaded.

    Like shit you associate with straight up Nazis or the pre civil rights kkk coming from people you know vote centre left.

    It’s not better or worse…but…there’s an aggressiveness there and I think with homelessnes it’s more “I don’t want to see them and don’t care how” instead of “I care how and it involves bullets”

      Centrist Euros are just Nazis on a time delay

      Anyway, Europe is a barbaric backwards “civilization” that is permanently stuck on the pogroms and genocide phase

      Yeah, I remember as a child talking to my dad about some cool thing I read about in a sci fi book about people being sent to mars and some government conspiracy so that one of its moons would do some immensely profitable operation but it would eventually collide with mars killing everyone on it, and my dad just said “they’d have my complete support for that if they put all the g*****s on it” and I basically just went what-the-hell at him since I didn’t have the confidence to actually argue back against him.

      The anti-Roma racism is so deeply ingrained in our society it’s basically background radiation. Children are misbehaving? Scare them into obedience by threatening to “send them away to the [slur]s”. Invite your normal looking centre left friends to the countryside for a barbecue? Casually get asked if the neighbors are colored. At family dinner with generic centrist parents? Random racist remark out of nowhere. Lunch break with white collar coworkers? Unprompted rant about how one of them saw a man who claimed to be [slur] say on the internet that he is okay with [slur] and this is why it’s settled that it’s okay to use [slur] instead of Roma and anything else is silly wokeness.
