    If you look at Xitter they are using the demonstrations to say “Oh my god look at the riots in Europe” Saying it is because of immigration. Instead of what it actually is, a sign of healthy democracy and what americans should have been doing for years now…

      Europe, the continent famous for 10-30% approval rating for their ostensibly elected leaders, which is apparently a sign of a healthy democracy.

      There is nothing healthy or democratic about Europe, and that’s precisely the reason why this is happening. Because the lives of regular people keep getting worse and worse, the elites clearly despise the people and elections do nothing anymore. Just like in the US, nothing ever changes no matter who you vote for. Unelected bureaucrats in Brussels have usurped the sovereignty of European countries and European governments have been turned into nothing more than satrapies of the EU Fourth Reich, which is itself merely a tool for the US empire to keep Europe vassalized.

      These riots are happening because the people of Europe have no future under governments whose policies – which consist of nothing other than war, genocide, austerity and neoliberalism – are rigged against change by any peaceful means.
