    People defining a political movement by its extremes are no better than those rioting in the street and this comes from a centrum right voter. It's fair to say there were plenty extreme left rioting there since it's true, but not all there or all there with a message where of the same group or ideology.

    Unless you want to claim people for the environment are the same type of left as the anarchists, sure you can do that and look like a fool at best but mmo-c never disappoints in this regard.

    I've done the same here.. Hitler was far left though. Fascism has nothing to do with right or left politics...

    Ofc it is. The worker in factory A is exploited, but then after the work he wants the worker from factory B to be exploited so he can buy cheap products made by factory B .
    Call me when Poland hosts G20, an event that ALWAYS is accompanied by that.

    Oh wait, Poland isn't even part of the club.

    1. Don't mistake my frowning upon one-sidedness with a political agenda. I've seen things as important as "the sound of your fart" on these boards. It's only rightful to question why something as big as the G20 and the riots in Hamburg aren't discussed.

    2. Solid points. Why make it an open spectacle in the first place. Have it in secret and u wont need 20.000 policemen.

    1. Sry. Your avatar does not exactly instill confidence in your objectivity .
    2. Would be kinda hard to keep a meeting of such people secret. Some of them probably can't legally just vanish into thin air without telling people where they are. The most sensible thing would be to keep them away from populated areas. And let's be honest here, for the amount of money they wasted for this shit, they could have build a couple of luxury hotels in some place and gilded all the faucets so that our esteemed leaders wouldn't have to be offended by ordinary porcelain.

    I know... I just pointed out that before we get into bashing Poland that they aren't actually far from being in the top 20 economies.

    Yup. Wish more would understand or just keep an open mind. Things are not as simple as we like to make them...

    So you can't really pretend "Africa was doing fine and dandy until all those dictators showed up out of nowhere lo these past few decades!" That place was routinely being destabilized for about 500 years.
    You mean taken captured by their own neighboring tribes and sold to another set of people?

    Also millions shipped out?

    Sure, but Poland isn't in the top 19 anyway.
    (the 20th member is the EU).

    99% of African slaves were sold to the Europeans by Africans or Arabs.
    Pretty much not a single one were 'taken by the white man!'.

    Actually Poland is part of G20 - that's why Donald T. was there. But Poland will under current rules not host a G20-meeting.



    Donald Tusk that is - President of the European Council (EU).

    To name a few.

    ...Does that matter who they were sold by? Seeing as Europeans supplied the market?

    And yes, millions

    Again, not really sure how that's relevant.


    African slave traders didn't go and round up a bunch of people and then Europe, twiddling their thumbs, came by and went "golly gee whilickers! Well I mean if you already kidnapped them, I guess we could buy them... As long as you aren't kidnapping them on our accord..."

    They were captured because they knew Europeans and colonial governments would pay money for them, because slavery was a major part of many colonial economies. This is a trade that went on for hundreds of years. Not some one-time cash exchange.

    The majority were sold to the middle east though. I don't really get your point. Shouldn't you be thankful to the Europeans for crushing the slave trade?
