Europe@feddit.org•How the Netherlands engineered its asylum crisis — and turned it into a businessEnglish
2·4 months agoI don’t believe the government intended to create a business from the migrant crisis though, it just happens to be where their choices brought them.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•The "Freedom of Russia" resistance movement destroyed dozens of locomotives across Russia, targeting their control systems to disrupt the transport of military supplies to the front.
19·4 months agoI sincerely hope that after Ukraine wins the war, the parties that now support Ukraine will go on and support the people in Russia and Belarus instead of going back to doing business with the likes of Putin and Lucashenko. The people there risking their lives deserve it.

CasualEurope@piefed.social•I think we should start a petition about this
3·4 months agoIf you can’t afford a house, you can’t afford to upgrade a castle to meet current day living standards like running water and electricity. Also don’t forget the long ass cable you’ll need to buy to connect your remote home to the internet. Or even more expensive, also the equally long tube you’ll need to send your fecies to the sewer system. There is a reason why you don’t tend to come across some homeless dude when you’re visiting those ruins.

Europe@feddit.org•UK to criminalise protests outside homes of public officials under new lawEnglish
9·4 months agoThough i’m against criminalizing protesters, i do think people who do bad things on their job also deserve a private life. If they break the law they should be brought to court obviously, but if they act within the bounds of the rule of law protest should be against the movement or the system that allows this bad individual that does the bad thing. I’ll get some downvotes for saying this, but i believe we should not only be decent to people who do things we like, but to literally everyone.

Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•"How do you pronounce Mary/merry/marry?"English
4·4 months agoUnpopular opinion 1: the us should invite some Brits and learn to speak regular English again.
Unpopular opinion 2: the us should split up and adopt their local version of English as their official language.

Europe@feddit.org•Italy to raise tax on super-rich foreigners by 50pc in blow to wealthy non-domsEnglish
11·4 months agoYou can be a foreigner, no problem. You can be super-rich, that’s fine. But both? Unacceptable.

Europe@feddit.org•Netherlands: Violence erupts at anti-immigration protestEnglish
4·5 months agoThey sure are, and they didnt went there as football hooligans. Point is there was an organised effort to instigated violence by a group that is different fromt the group that organised a peaceful protest - even though both groups have similar political views.

Europe@feddit.org•Netherlands: Violence erupts at anti-immigration protestEnglish
14·5 months agoDutchie here - the violence wasn’t instigated by the right-wing protesters but by football hooligans who tend to have similar views on migration. I think it is important to make the distinction especially since English language reporting on this is much more alarmist imo.

CasualEurope@piefed.social•Science behind pasta sauce, pizza-eating lizards, drunk bats win 2025 Ig Nobel
3·5 months agoThe Ig Nobel prizes, given every September, honour quirky scientific achievements that first “make people laugh, then think”.
It is organised annually by the science humour magazine Annals of Improbable Research, and this year’s winners were awarded the prize at a ceremony held at Boston University on Thursday.

BuyFromEU@feddit.org•Wero will start replacing iDeal in the Netherlands from 2026English
12·5 months agoThis is great, a step forward in European integration. But what I am really looking forward is an alternative for card payments in stores. Right now the only way to avoid non-European companies is paying with cash.
