Refugee strikers annoy EU wankers and eat cake

The “stakeholder workshop” at the representative office of the European
Union in Berlin on the afternoon of February 27, 2014 invited
politicians and academics to listen to other politicians and academics
(and the boss of Frontex) speak about the “refugee problem.”
This conspiracy provoked many comments about a “final solution” from the
activists who busted into the conference with their banners and filthy
clothes. The urbane moderator was “humane” enough to allow some refugees
to speak about their situation and not call the police, as was his
right, of course.
Inviting a member of the socialist party LINKE, thought the organizer,
would be enough to start a heated debate about the EU’s military border
regime, but he was not prepared to let the subalterns speak for
themselves, although they’ve been yelling their demands from every
street corner in his city for two years.
As the “expert speakers” spewed beer hall truths about “economic
migration,” gangs of “people smugglers,” and the “humanitarian mission”
of military border surveillance, interruptions became louder and
angrier: “Europe and Germany, stop killing refugees.” Yet, Europe’s
elite discusses how to outsource the killing.
During the audience question session, an older woman with an Eastern
European accent from the first row repeated our accusations against the
murderous Germans. She mentioned that her family had been persecuted, by
the Nazis I suppose.
The member of the socialist party defended herself reflexively: “I am
against such nationalist generalizations… My mother is Polish, I am
German; I refuse to be put in a box… I am not a murderer!” “Yes you
are!” “No, I’m not.” “Yes, you are!” The old survivor rebuked the
amnesiac with a shattering verdict.
Even German socialists deny any collective guilt for past crimes. Such a
mindset allows the powerful to repaint the ongoing deportations as
“unfortunate” deviations from the noble goals of the border guards.
The “stakeholders” in the audience expressed even more retarded views
than the speakers: “Of course we accept our humanitarian burden, but how
much can the German people bear?” “They should invest the money they pay
for transit into their countries’ future!” “Shut up, woman!”
It was necessary, fun, but demoralizing to interrupt this session of
critical critique among comrades, this pornographic exposure of white
power. We stated our demands and insulted everyone in the room, from the
dolled up intern girls to the creepy old intellectuals, from the
mumbling Frontex police chief to the legal scholar who saw the
“interesting, but complex case for international relations” in every
capsized raft.
We live in an empire unable to reform its imperial character for fear of
implosion, yet hoping to reform its peculiar institutions. Almost as
silly as progressive religion, a “multicultural” Germany or feminist
men. No hope for Your-ope!
