    How did you arrive at that conclusion from the cartoon shown?

    ^ Mainly the fifth panel.

    But honestly, I'm not sure what this comic is trying to say.

    I saw this in a thread elsewhere about a new partnership between Germany and Japan to share military technology. :lol:

    Why does the sail on the Viking ship have a Nepal Flag Dragon on it?

    I think it is trying to say something along the lines of "Refugees fleeing from Syria today and coming to all of Europe including some specific parts of Scandinavia is a lot like the Vikings who used to live in some other parts of Scandinavia raping and pillaging other parts of the world presumably including some places that while not actually in Syria used to be somewhere roughly also considered to be in the Middle East today, therefore, let's vote for the guys that want to raise our taxes and lower them for millionaires while letting fugitives die, except that -"

    Ok, let me try this again. I think it is trying to say something like, "Syrian refugees are like pillaging Viking hordes." There, that's better.

    It's a prime example of that special stupid code the alt-right uses, the Idiot Cryptography. Everyone with any kind of historical, geographical, or political knowledge gets so confused by all of the many, many things wrong with absolutely every one of those panels that they can hardly make out the message. It is only intelligible to the uninformed. That's actually quite a feat.

    The lie is when you claim those economic migrants are in any way refugees. That in and of itself makes the rest of your post not worth reading.

    Which migrants? The round colourful ones that meet a Viking in that part of the Mediterranean that is actually under water but is probably supposed to be a part of Turkey that the artist got confused with Syria? Those migrants? Which are economic migrants as opposed to real refugees, because the artist would have drawn the latter with a different wrong flag and placed them in a different part of the ocean?

    You have already ignored when I posted such information the first dozen or so times so why do you think I would keep playing your "prove tge sky is blue" game? It has been proven over and over again so completely your denials now amount to nothing more than holocaust denial or climate change denialism. It is simply a statement of fact at this point and requires no further substantiation.

    So do please piss off.

    Yay, cartoons to justify genocide and racial hatred. Had Hitler only thought of that we would all be speaking German I am sure. I know I am convinced we need to kill all brown people.

    Ah, you mean the alt-right blogs and mislabeled videos purporting to be about something they aren't.

    If you had bothered to watch any of them you would know that is not true. That you still are so clueless is why reasonable people believe it is a waste of time to bother with you on just about any topic. :shrug:

    Odd that there are no transcripts.

    Is that why you agree with me on almost any topic that doesn't concern brown people?

    Oh, sometimes there are. You recall the German one from the altercation on a bus? It's not as if @Dinner only had the English blog report of what was being said on that bus to go by. There also was a German transcript and English translation just one click away, but he ignored it, sticking to his blog's fantasy of what was happening instead.

    Well, "I didn't read the whole thing"/"I don't know all the details, but..." is pretty much Dinner's modus operandi in a nutshell.

    I expect the usual suspects to continue ignoring factual reality which even people like Tusk and Junckers have publicly admited is the thruthful reality and to instead continue trying to hand wave away the reality they don't want to admit. That is what you denialists always do.

    They really are just fraudulent welfare scroungers looking for a free ride.

    There are no linked primary sources in the article; but I only mention that because you strangely said there were. There is no claim in this article that I disagree with, and I don't question its veracity, because it concurs with many, many other reports I have seen.

    It does not say that the refugees are economic migrants. It says that separately from one wave which it describes as unambiguously made of refugees, there is a second wave in a different set of access points where people arrive that are from different regions than the first. It then goes on to say that there is controversy among officials on whether they should be considered refugees as well. Tusk, whom you characterise as especially lenient, saying that "even he has admitted" these are economic migrants, is more accurately described as a hardliner criticised by others for his description. Either way, owing not least to other circumstances of their arrival, they are to be sent back directly after arrival at Mediterranean coasts; so they don't make up the wave of refugees accepted into the EU, much less Scandinavia.

    So Packard is firmly in the reality free fantasy world. Can Garamet be far behind?
