They aren't debating. They're copy-pasting. 📋🤡 Rather than being a serious policy discussion, the recent EU plenary on Roma inclusion turned into a live reading of 2015 internet conspiracy theories lifted straight from 4chan and Reddit threads, thanks to the interventions of far-right Members of the European Parliament. 🚫 The "Doctors & Engineers" Replacing “native white Europeans” Trope: MEP Milan Mazurek recycled a "Great Replacement" dog whistle on migrants that's been circulating on far-right message boards for a decade. 🚫 Far-Right Fairytale Economics: MEP Aphrodite Latinopoulou claimed companies are fleeing Europe because of high taxes brought about by spending inclusion policies for Roma, LGBTQ+, and Muslims. Let's do the maths: • She claims €3.5 billion was spent on Roma inclusion over 10 years. • The EU's total budget over that period is estimated to be nearly €2.3 TRILLION. • That's 0.15% of the budget. Meanwhile, EU corporate tax revenues are in the hundreds of billions annually. Their claims aren’t just illogical takes and bad economics; they’re racist fairy tales designed to scapegoat minorities. The far-right have run out of ideas and are now reduced to parroting the same tired, conspiracy-laden scripts from anonymous trolls a decade ago. Don't let them convince you that recycled internet hate is "common sense."
