If you’re a Syrian refugee you definitely have the choice of going to Turkey rather than all the long way to the Netherlands…

Westerners can be so fucking weird. Some of these people would rather let teenage girls get beaten to death than risk compromising their own white saviour complex and need to feel tolerant. My family was Muslim and I’ve been told, by the whitest of the white, that I’m racist for saying something against Islam because “cultures must be respected”. I am racist against my own people? Oh my… then, of course, there’s the other Westerners who believe I obviously have four wives and trade in camels even when I claim not to be religious…
And nobody even knows if the US administration would get involved in it. All depends on Orange’s mood on the day and whether his friends call him to “tell him good things”
Big ups to you! No “skin in the game” but taking the right side. Disappointed in my own government. Luckily basically every regular person I’ve ever spoken with about it agrees with the take… Just the state…
I love how Orwell - being so iconic today - had to be described as “Author of ‘The Road to Wigan Pier’ etc”
Yea, Orthodox Jews have total exemption from joining the armed forces. If you really don’t want to murder children and steal land, go study the Talmud. No excuse.
Absolutely! It’s in the choice. You consciously choose to be part of the IDF, you aren’t born into it, and thus it’s not a hateful statement. You know, except for BBC weaklings
Don’t forget the millions of Poles
I don’t think birthright citizenship qualifies as a “human right” - most countries that (officially) care more about “human rights” than USA does doesn’t have that. Whether it should be removed or not is not for me to say, however. It’s a switch away from what it has genuinely mesnt to be an American.
Not having birthright citizenship doesn’t (necesarilly) mean the newborn wouldn’t have any citizenship at all
I started using Zorin OS just to get out of Windows. Ngl I work in IT and the last thing I wanna do when I’m off work is to go home and do more tech-related stuff, so I just picked it for ease of use. Happy with it though!
You didn’t know that Scandinavia has monarchies?
This dude isn’t the crown Prince though, or even a royal
Do you mean Greenland or did they do some deal with Iceland?
Because generally speaking they aren’t that hit. Sweden, for example, removed its wealth and inheritance tax reeal fast once it was introduced in the 90s.
Norway introduced such measures with their current government and suddenly you have a ton of wealthy Norwegians finding their way to Switzerland. So yes, you do see it happening, and the more you’ll increase it the more likely they are to move and take their resources with them. I’m not arguing that we shouldn’t gax the rich, of course, but that it needs to be globally coordinated (which it will never be)
It’s sad because it does have to be a global movement. If my country decides to heavily increase taxes on the wealthy - as should be done - this is exactly what happens because they can just easily move to Switzerland or Monaco, or some other tax haven, and laugh us right in the face. It’s the genius of capitalism
Definitely seen south Italians darker than me 😂 but coupled with “exotic looks” and the ability to actually tan it’s definitely plenty to produce the “terrorist look” and stand out in Scandinavia
Do they really want me to be trapped? 😮 might go to El Salvador, but trapped?
I’m brown with a thick beard, so I’m used to being “naturally suspicious and prone to explosion” whenever I am within a 5 km distance of an airport. Yet US airports would scare the shit out of me
That might be a genuine option if not for widespread antitrust abuses by what is essentially monopolies… your answer to that is “just create more businesses”?
There’s plenty of Cloud companies in the works currently; I already applied for a position at Evroc. But it’s not all that Amazon does.
Run corporations by ourselves? Gladly! When do the CEOs step down?
Definitely Italian names and groups being mentioned in the article. Might be some Americans and others inbetween; it’s a struggle mirrored around the world. Can just be a reference to the fact that Bezos and Amazon are known tax evaders - including for their EU business. And yes, I’d imagine that people aren’t happy about being priced out of their own communities - hence the widespread anti-tourism protests in general
What is it you think Bezos does and has done “for Amazon” that makes him so important? The main thing he was good at was knowing how to rig the system. If he died tomorrow you’ll see that Amazon will do just as fine, possibly even better. He’s not even the CEO anymore. People can’t just “create structures” when all the world’s resources are owned by regimes and big corporations. If I create my own Amazon-equivalent they’re gonna destroy me before I ever make it big.
The Old City is being heavily depopulated, yes. Locals can hardly even live their anymore. So why wouldn’t thry be angry?
But I thought murica was the pinnacle of free speech? 😮
