Well, they want freedom for them down there, not here... And "freedom" means "corporate freedom".
Problem over here is they still claim everyone is free to think and speak whatever is on his mind, but in practice, if you start complaining about e. g. mosques being built here even in middle-size towns where there can't be such a huge Muslim community, or that suddenly their religious symbols are allowed even in public service while all others can't wear any kind of religious symbols or symbols of personal belief that don't have to do with a registered church, then you're being called a Nazi and witch hunts start on you, you may even lose your job very quickly for that. Where is the freedom in this? I get signalized there is a certain group of people I'm not allowed to complain about, just in general. Neither meaningful critic as well as meaningless critic. What kind of fucking freedom is this? This isn't freedom of thought, this is mind police and sweeping dirt under the carpet. Somebody has more rights than me or every other citizen in this country. That's how totalitarianism starts. - Even from the sides of the social democrat left.
