Faschist playbook with one Group replaced by another that is currently their enemy?

Sehr cool.

Easy concept: Put money in to save and gain money long term -> investment. Conservatives come in and cut so much, that there is no more long term gain -> see all those social investments do not work!!!oneoneeleven!! They only cost money!

That is conservatism! It was born to support the royals! The core of their believes is that there has to be a hierarchy you are destined to be in and you need to find your place and stay there. Also sorry, you are not over them, cause you are obviously lazy and not in their inner circle, or something.

Don’t worry people, this just means bigger profit margins on each single sell! Economy goes brrrr. Also, who cares that someone might not be able to buy stuff, as long as some reach folks are able to afford it. /s

Monkey Paws Finger crawls: And it first will be used to enforce mass observation stuff like chat control?

Not really imho, but calling them out as oligarchs might be correct. Those live in Russia, China, USA or elsewhere. Most of them have problems with democracy and seems to lean towards corruption.

It would even be better if those who finance that basis would also benefit of of it. I did not meant to say we shouldn’t fund this research but that we should do more to also directly benefit from it.

Or in general on an Island surrounded by big bodies of waters where nothing can block such new inventions as ghostly stuff making woooshh and pulling at hairs so those dance. Maybe some more Nuclear power that already got more expensive and needs longer to build just some years after it started to be planned/build, even with huge subsidies? Ah we only need the power in 20+ years. Climate change will wait, as we know, and the current temperatures aren’t anything like temperatures forecasted for 2050, yet. /s

As the other comment wrote, it seems to be the plan to not do any more attacks there anyway. Might only need to make this up with Israel and the oil buddies first maybe?

Yea and Europe should not fund basic research from which other countries profit with products but Europe.

I’m fine without an oligopoly being frightened by it. It sounds similar to like what GNU Taler already tries to do. I also think Wero might not completely be obsolete but i couldn’t are less about them or Paypal or Visa or Mastercard.

It’s easy to get 40 hours of work, especially if you count meals, sport activities, parties, commute and so much more as work, like higher ups commonly do, and so report higher work hours than regular workers. If your position is safe and you get a lot of wealth or already have it, than work also gets a lot less stressful. Most of our work will be done without any need for humans in a not to distant future. I would rather like to have people investing more time into society and family instead of working more to get an already too powerful minority even more wealthy.

Sounds like what Taler is already trying to do. I would like that.

This chain is broken when money changes through different hands and never touches an ATM. Sure you can still have private detectives and co following your every move and check that, so yes you are right that we are never 100% anonymous but that is not the point. Governments should not be able to instantly see what i purchased with my money. They still should be able to prevent money laundering and other nefarious things that could be done.

I feel like it goes in a good direction, if they can deliver what they say they want. For me it sounds very similar to what Taler is already providing.

I think the CCP with Xi understood that you can buy nearly everything because of short term profits. In unbound capitalism, money rules and you can benefit of it with a long term strategy to monopolize resources of all kinds and types (raw material, energy, machinery and knowledge).

You might have a better chance in a crash if you’re in the bigger vehicle. You need to watch out for yourself before thinking about the others? Not that easy to regulate, especially with the need to have even bigger trucks for transport.

How should Trucks than be handled? I don’t like big SUVs as the next one, but increasing price does nothing but outright banning them is also a bit odd while there are big trucks on the road. At least for trucks you would need another drivers license. That might be an interesting option. Higher licenses with more frequent and more rigorous testing and requirements. That might be a better deterrent and also makes those who drive it a safer driver?

Israel has no permits to even be there.

You are wrong, i read your text completely and you obviously did not read what i wrote as otherwise you would have never came to the conclusion that i skimmed 2 words. Your whole text talks about “them” and “they” which is imho racism and fits the article which states

Bori Simonovits, however, noted that when they asked Hungarians to justify their views on discrimination, many began their sentences with “I’m not racist, but…,” only to follow that up with statements that fully embodied the concept of racism.

Most who don’t want to see that those views are racism usually don’t talk about it, because they don’t want to confront that it is racist and wrong. To be a bit more precise and not to try to go aggressively against you, it is prejudice which everyone will encounter from time to time, but you should realize that you cannot say things about a whole “group” of people. The sentiment to put everyone into a category, might help evolutionary, but is wrong. Just think about Families and especially their Kids. Can’t those change, can’t they be completely different from each other, even so they both say they are belonging to Group XYZ?

Indicating problematic behaviors is right and correct but allocating to every “member of a group” is wrong and unhelpful.

Even your remarks

In other contexts, no, it’s not justified, at least not in general. Your take is good tho… We need to give them a chance, but it is so, so fucking tiring and hard not to be racist against them…

Don’t change that. You are still talking about them and vaguely about “In other contexts”. No its never justified. Also no it’s not hard to not be racist against anyone and with some training it comes natural, if you want it.
