Europe has been doing the minimum to support Ukraine. Where are the Taurus missiles? Why is Europe still buying Russian gas? Why hasn’t Europe been boarding and stopping Russian shadow fleet tankers since the beginning of the war? Why did Europe lift the restrictions on the range of their weapons until Ukraine has built the tech themselves? What were the feeble responses to Russian interference and drones far in European airspace? Why are we still letting in Russians at our borders?

I could go on. The European strategy seems to be to keep the war going as long as possible in order to test new war tech at the expense of human lives. Our rulers are just hiding behind “oh, we spent billions” while forcing Ukraine to fight with an arm tied behind their backs.

And what will they do? Same as after Crimea, just try and strengthen their bond with Russia? Kneel to the height of Pootin’s crotch?

Keep going. That’s probably a nearly nothing of the shadow fleet.

That’s it? 12TB? That’s barely enough to contain all the Path of Exile updates. It’ll be the size of GTA6… maybe

“Not a nazi btw, just hate your face”

Suuuure, buddy

A tough situation. Can’t the EU provide money to hire mercenaries?

Got bonked too many times.

Make a joke about Trump and suddenly they want to fist-fight you.

Such fragile snowflakes.

Less often than I fuck.

High Resistance Training?

There’s always two sides. You can grow up poor and uneducated but that doesn’t mean you have to be mean and hateful. And even if you grow up middle-class and are exposed to propaganda, that doesn’t mean that you have to fully give in to it. To be this far gone, you have to have also let it happen.

The US is all about the “free market” until the free market actually works, then, suddenly, intervention is needed.

Given how many think a quarter is bigger than a third because the word sounds bigger, let’s say, I’m not surprised.

Decades of “I vote myself and my kin” or “I vote against others even if it hurts me”. Reap what you sow. Vote to #TaxWealth or #TaxWealthNotWork and maybe you’ll get somewhere.

I thought the road would be flooded, but holy shit, that was way more than I thought.

I’m not sure. It might take a lot. Even if they introduce passport verification for internet access and for every website you access, I think people will find a way around it and for example just move to an anonymous network like something on this list

Reddit as a company doesn’t want anything the fediverse has because that would impact their cash flow.

Idk about other place, but here vehicle used for businesses(trades, transports) must registered as such and labelled as such, so it’s clear what business own the vehicle.

The problem is that rich people can (and do) register their belongs for “company use”. Open a roofing company, buy luxury cars with company then say everything is for work, tada… It could cost them lots, but they might even find a way to deduct it from the tax, which I bet they already do.

You believe in restricting for certain places e.g around schools, I believe in restricting them country-wide.

For commercial use - tie it into the owners tax return.

What do you mean by this? In what way would it be “tied”?

as we reach that point we also will have made the roads so oriented around cycling, walking and public transit that FUCK that cars will be the least desirable option. See cities with big metros like NYC, London and Tokyo if you need more evidence that this works; the car part of the city is chock full, and the public side of transport is favoured by more(?) people

That does actually make sense. Making it so that cars are the worst option, could actually even stop the worst of our kind from even wanting to drive them in cities and towns. Villages might be more difficult, I imagine.
