Meanwhile they’ll lose their shit if they see a small boat with refugees trying to enter their country

Zurich for example

Maybe lowlands isn’t the best word but it’s not high up in the alps

Meanwhile in Central Europe there’s snowfall in the alps and max temperatures are below 15C even in the lowlands.

We’re so fucked

He was part of the land team

It was known for days that he wasn’t on the boat

Is it hipocrisy tho?

Like if you say to someone that says that we shouldn’t use single use plastics for food, that they still use single use plastics for their surgery, that’s not hipocrisy. Context matters.

Of course she isn’t going to deliver critical aid to where a genocide is happening via bicycle

Yes but for us reading the story it’s irrelevant if he received a WhatsApp, signal or SMS message

I mean I don’t either and probably if I didn’t I wouldn’t have the same findings, but that’s what the statistics say for the western world at least

I feel like most rich people would reject 1000$ if that meant a poor person got 500$.

I used to believe the first line in your comment but the new generation is swinging further right than their parents (mostly male). So now I’m not so sure

Have you considered that those things aren’t done not because of stupidity but because a small subset of society that holds most of the political power and media benefits from those things being done?

The system isn’t flawed in the sense that it doesn’t work. It does. Extremely well. It just doesn’t work for you and me or to make everyone’s lives better.

Russia doesn’t want WW3

They’d get proper fucked. I mean we all would but they’d have no chance.

They play that card because it’s the only card they have and because Europe is happy with the status quo

Trump was trying to fleece Ukraine for parts and Europe did fuck all

See my other comment.

Russia can’t even conquer Ukraine after 3 years. They are only a bully to the little guys.

Europe could easily demolish Russia and their old and tired military. I’m not saying that europe should invade Russia. Ofc not. But this Putin bluff is long gone. And ofc it’s Russia that can end this anytime they want but until they are forced to they won’t. Which bully do you know that returned the lunch money that they stole out of what? Compassion? Just because it’s wrong?

And you are talking about WW3 but the EU is planning to triple their defence budget in preparation for war, so you tell me who wants WW3

The EU needs to put actual restrictions on Russia, Russian oligarchs and Russian allies/goods, not just a not even fully opaque curtain that is easily circumvented like it is atm (even by EU members).

They also need to properly support Ukraine’s military so that they can repel Russian troops back to Ukraine’s borders instead of just giving them enough ammo and guns that will allow them to continue this war of attrition. Maybe they could use all the resources that Germany sends to Israel for example.

And then they need to do what was said above. Actually come to the table with Russia and negotiate the end of the war.

But atm that isn’t possible because Russia is not being forced to. They made their ground and ofc aren’t keen on giving it back and Ukraine is also not willing to give part of the country to Russia (as they shouldn’t). And the EU politicians are happy to be profiting of this war and shift their economies to war economies in order to fill their pockets further.

We haven’t done shit for climate change and it’s not even being discussed anymore. And it will only get worse.

No

The EU will continue funding Ukraine’s war, allowing thousands of people to die on both sides of the war. And they’ll slowly ease on Russian restrictions if they feel like they need it for economic growth.

The EU could force Russia’s hand and end this war but it doesn’t seem like they want to

Nah you will be kept poor enough to not be able to rebel and rich enough to have something (to lose) and be able to participate in capitalism.

Capitalism needs workers to exploit, even once all the robots are built. In the end it’s people that have to do the labor and that must pay the billionaires next space shuttle

If the quality of life of poor people is 1% better while for rich people it’s 100000% better, then we still need to get some guillotines out in the streets

Just because it’s “better” doesn’t mean it’s fair or that it shouldn’t be orders of magnitude better

Where’s that meme investment advice subreddit? For sure this is a BUY
