@Philokalia saidYou’re referring to the GDPR.
The Netherlands is somewhat of an exception - perhaps because of the unique heritage that it has as a rebellious state - but in much of Europe there is a distinct lack of free speech.
For instance, in Sweden the state does not publish aggregate numbers that break down crime rate by ethnic or racial origin or migrant group, and only [i]licensed academics can access that ...[text shortened]... 0homeschooling%29%20is%20legal%20in%20most,introduced%20at%20ages%208%2C%2010%2C%2012%2C%20and%2014.
That’s a privacy law. And certain information is classified as extra sensitive. And with good reason.
What you want to do is discriminate upon eithic, religious lines. And people’s freedom from discrimination trumps the freedom to gather that sort of information.

(1) It's a public policy matter, and thus a matter to be democratically solved.
It has nothing to do with personal privacy.
(2) You have a right to say whatever you want - this is absolutely basic.
You do not get to curtail someone else's basic right to speech because you are offended.
Words only hurt the weak who are unsure of themselves.
And this is why the majority of Europeans will continue with the weak, cowardly attitudes unbecoming to free people and look like shadow people compared to Americans. Your disposition is still fundamentally that of a serf who isn't ready to hear freely, let alone live freely.
@Philokalia saidHahaha. You moron.

Largest prison population in the world? The US.
Most spied upon citizens in the West: the US.
Your freedoms are economic freedoms to screw over poor people. No other freedoms do you have which are worth anything but flies on 💩.
Enjoy your 2 weeks of vacation a year, your 60 hour+ work weeks and your soup bloody kitchens!
Your crumbling infrastructure, your poisoned water and your polarized newsfeeds.
Dumb arse, with your dumb arse politicians led by the orangest dumbest arse of them all.
I popped by Prague, Bratislava and Vienna these last couple of weeks. Had a quick peek into Poland as well.
The German motorways… 160km’s an hour… no problemo.
Food in the Czech republic? 12 euros and you’re eating the best schnitzel you’ll ever have.
Food in Germany? Roughly the same price. 18 euros for a 250 gram entrecote, more roast potatoes than you’ll ever manage to eat and half a liter of beer.
10 weeks of paid vacation a year… dear oh dear… my poor liberties…
You are not free. You inhabit a small, paranoid world, where you think your world is great.
It’s not. It’s very mediocre.
Oh, and by the way, in Europe youncan say anything you want. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Unless it’s holocaust denial in Germany… but hey… they have a bit of a history on that acount…

What do you think the racist argument is that the US has a higher prison population than Europe? Rack your brain on that one. It would be an insult to anyone's intelligence to be in a "Debate" forum for years on end and have no clue what the most basic lines are on this - this is the Sicilian of the race debate. I don't know how you would participate in a discussion about race if you don't know what's happening right now.
(2a) American disposable income: $62k
Dutch disposable income: $36k [1]
Literally twice as much money to blow as you guys plus our beef is Latin American prices. Our food is far more inexpensive. [2]
(2b) Do Americans have crushing povety? Yes, that is the case, yet it is also the case that I have heard Britts even say that their worst areas are worst than Mississippi. The economy is sluggish and can't improve.
The EUropean trick to solving this is to brag about how their medical bills are taken care of by the government. Fair enough. But what are you doing the rest of the year?
Dying from the heat?
No, not in the US where 90% of buildings have air conditioning!
🇺🇸 US had 1,714 heat-related deaths in 2022
🇪🇺 Europe had a staggering 62,862 heat-related deaths in 2022
That's a staggering 36x more deaths, or 27x more if you adjust for population! Insane

... And you vacationed in PRAGUE, BRATISLAVA... VIENNA? Twelve euro tiny little pork hot dogs? How cultured. Americans all go and see Europe when they want - we take international vacations with ease. People decide to go and spend a four-day weekend in Mexico like it's nothing. People fly across the country to watch regular season football games they think will be good. Our nation is massive & beautiful, and Europeans are losing their culture year after year, eating at McDonald's and drinking Starbucks, even their political trends follow us.
We've embroiled you in a war you will lose to Ukraine and you'll spend the 2 decades buying energy from America at a horrible price just because you are rhetorically trapped.
... And you can't even criticize the migrants who come & suck up all your welfare and contribute nothing to sustaining your societies.
Childless Europeans are being deposited in shabby little nursing homes to get manhandled by Abdul and Fatima with nobody to come and visit them as they spend their last years cooking what's left of their brain in their hot little rooms...
"But at least we have historic Cathedrals where we used to worship a God we no longer believe in..!"
Wake up to the azan at 5 AM and contemplate that one, my friend.

You know why you Americans are so fat? Because all you can afford is GM, water-inflated, junk food.
The “average” disposable income in the US is seriously inflated by the staggering wealth of the few.
If it was so grand, why do so many people work 60+ hours and struggle to get by?
Your argument about the prison population is neither here nor there. It doesn’t matter which “race” someone is, when counting the amount of people in prisons.
Indeed, race isn’t even an actual thing. That’s a mental construct you’ve created to make yourself feel better.
Go back to rimming your orange god, and leave rationality to the saner people.
