Comment Re:4Chan toy store? (Score -1) 177

They're saying 4Chan is a toy, not a toy store. Which... is not completely unfair.

However, 4Chan doesn't operate in the UK. British people can access it, sure, ...

So it provides a service to British people. Is the provider being compensated for the provision of that service? Yes, although not by the person receiving it. Therefore they are providing a commercial service. 4Chan needs to either geolocate and block any access from the UK or stick to the rules of providing services here.

Europe is completely invaded and co-opted by Islam, and the US is next. Yell at me all you want, hide all you want from it, when you hear prayer calls from minarets in your town THEN you'll get it, and by then it'll far too late.

None of the above is actually true, but blasting it across 'news' media and social media 24/7 is very effective in making people so pants-wettingly terrified that you can manipulate them in any way you choose, as long as you promise to save them from the fears you've inflicted upon them.

I think you might have just made that up yourself.

I think it's very unlikely that the OP made that up. That particular misrepresentation of the data has been posted EVERYWHERE on the internet for months via many thousands of accounts. I think it's far more likely that the OP simply saw it on a feed from someone they thought could trust for factual information and repeated it. Sadly they were mislead.

That's the better option. The worse one is that you've been elected on an agenda to be tough about stuff. Stuff that people may not have heard of before but you've told them that they need to be afraid of it. You prosecute everything about stuff, even if you're going to lose and cost the tax-payers millions. Then you take your loss and use it as evidence that THEY are out to get you and your voters. THEY are the people behind stuff, and people need to be more scared of THEM than they ever were about stuff. This drives your voters to ensure that you stay in place, even though you've cost them millions.

And both solutions above will also lead to vast numbers deciding it is best to just take their chances and enter anyway. Which then costs you an absolute fortune to look for them.

There are two other options: regime change, and bribery of the existing regime not to make conditions so bad as to cause refugees. Neither of those are great either, but they can be cheaper.
