I don't know how well known it is, but a lot of European countries have long standing policies of kidnapping Roma children "for their own good" and forcibly adopting them out to European families or putting them in orphanages. It's widespread, its extremely destructive, and it's just one more avenue of cultural and literal genocide in European's five hundred year long campaign of violence and murder against Roma people.

There's an old, vicious lie that Roma people steal European children, but the truth is very much the opposite. European hatred for Roma people knows no bounds, I wouldn't be shocked if this post picks up a couple of "actually a Roma kid stole my uncle's watch in Athens in 1998 and that's why they need to be exterminated!" Posts.

If you're ever bored go on Reddit and post anything, literally anything, about Roma people and time how long it takes for Europeans to show up spouting racist, genocidal violence.

    This pisses me off so much. I’ve had my twitter accounts suspended TWICE for discussing antiziganism. And one of the times was when there was a lot of racial justice discussion going on in general on Twitter, and i didn’t see a single other person get suspended for discussing any other race. I have had multiple other Roma friends get suspended or locked right after talking about issues.

    And I never said anything against their terms of service in my tweets. I suppose someone could make the argument yours does (even tho it doesn’t lol) but mine were so innocent. It’s genuinely like becoming a conspiracy in my mind that Twitter is specifically trying to silence any discussion on Romani things.

    Also yeah you’re right. Roma kids get stolen all the time by Europeans. Hell even the Catholic church facilitated it for a while.
