Why is Spain allowed to take peoples property?

[Hobbit XIII]

There's a thing called land grab and they are allowed to just take peoples things whenever they feel like it.

Is this why they think they are allowed Gibraltar too?

Despite the people of Gibraltar don't want their things taken by Spain?

Despite the people from Spain who work in Gibraltar don't want it to be taken by Spain either.

And Despite the people of Spain don't want their things taken by the government?

And the legal system being designed to be highly difficult to navigate?

-Topic style inspired by another Forumer.

Because of the Spanish inquisition. Nobody expects it.

[Fake]

Spain is just invoking the rules of Hippitus Hoppitus.

It's kind of weird to mock a guy's habit of making posts about a country he doesn't live in, the US, when you've also made posts about a country you don't live in, which would also be the US. Really, you two aren't actually that different.

I on rare occasion mock his style of posting where he goes out of his way to regularly insult people.
big difference.

Did you have another name before Elation?

...yes you did because I blocked you under one of your former names.

No, I didn't. I have never changed my name from Elation. You're welcome to use one of those 3rd party sites that tracks people's profile history to verify that.

You can also check my oldest posts and see where people have quoted me and see that my name has never changed.

really?
My mistake then, just forgot who you were then.

Maybe I will check your oldest post later.

So here you are having a dig at me having a dig at a person who insults NATO countries and you are a person who is pro misinformation too in a certain thing of recent postings and was corrected.

[Elation]

To be specific, this was when you blocked me, because you couldn't handle the fact I called a thread stupid:

https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/12/6725643788914423468/?ctp=4#c6725643788915716429

And by the way, as you can see by your quote, my name was still Elation at the time.

I don't know who you talked to but he trolled you hard.

The claim of Gibraltar as Spanish territory started during the dictatorship of Franco and it's a subject only used for chest-beating nationalism by far right-wing voters.

For the rest of spaniards 'Gibraltar Español' is little more than a meme to mock fascists with.

It's weird to me how often someone will claim to have blocked someone else and then read and respond to a bunch of their posts anyway.

you know who because you were the one who told me he was Spanish.
Every x number of times he posts stuff about NATO country I post something equally 'opportunistic' about Spain.

And you must have forgotten about what Spain was doing in its 'more than passive aggressive' approaches towards Gibraltar and even to its people who were working in Gibraltar.

Meh, we have Civil Asset Forfeiture here in the US. Here's a definition.

Civil Asset Forfeiture: This is a process where the government seizes property suspected of being connected to criminal activity, without necessarily charging the owner with a crime.

In England we had local council back in the 80s / 90s bought loads of properties sort of forced people out of them to widen a road.

They did nothing but sit on those properties letting them go to ruine for years and years and then sold them for big profit when the 2000s boom hit.

I blocked people for variety of reasons sometimes with people i get along with quite well i use it as a way of saying 'Notice' .
Look at the name when i click unblock and if it's a worthwhile person i continue reading and if not like the person who likes to spread misinformation and defends others who spread misinformation i go oh okays toodledoo.

Sure.

You stated and I answered.
Do you have anything to add to the actual topic on Spain's or any other countries land grab type shenanigans?

Let's not forget Gibraltar people 'passive aggresively' trying to expand their territorial waters by dropping concrete blocks to create artificial reefs.

There's the ocassional tension, but there's no half-serious attempt by the Spanish goverment to claim that land for the country. Specially after Brexit.
