You could work to dismantle the system. Heck, if people had joined the uncommitted movement instead of attacking it for their establishment overlords, the Democratic party could have been pushed to offer a candidate against genocide and for genuine social policies.

But people let themselves get gaslighted and happily rallied around their party leaders, despite getting fucked by them.

Problem is you need to price it into the taxes. So the alternative is a mandatory insurance that is done indirectly through taxation.

Now who gets to pay these taxes and who manages to dwindle out of it, using deliberately planted loopholes?

For insurance it is normal that your rate corresponds to your risk. For taxes or social insurance that is not the case. Why should i pay for other people enjoying living dangerously near the sea, in river flooding areas or the like? If i move to such a place, why should others pay for me? What about houses that are built improperly or where protective measures have been neglected?

It is certainly possible to create some sort of public weather insurance. But it has to go along with forcing people to properly build and maintain their houses as well as driving them out of areas, impossible to maintain housing in under climate change. This too will be deeply unpopular.

I think properly regulating insurance businesses is the more frutiful way of going about this.

Es gibt einen Unterschied zwischen authentischem Lachen, wo z.B. die Augen mitlachen, und kaltem Grinsen, wo zwar die Mundwinkel oben sind, aber die Augen weiter kalt.

Allein der Begriff ist schon heftig. Der Mensch wird als solcher als "unerlaubt" oder "illegal" deklariert. Sonst würde es heißen "Menschen, die unerlaubt eingereist sind", oder "Menschen ohne gültiger Aufenthaltsberechtigung"

Wenn Weidel grinst,
bekommen selbst meine Knochen Gänsehaut.
Überheblich und böse-gefährlich
So sieht sie aus.

I am sure that this is not the reason why the Meloni government would ban it.

The US understands very well the different religious factions. The way the West Asia region was carved into countries by the colonial powers is identical to what they did in Africa. Deliberately creating countries with internal conflicts that can be exploited for destabilizing them.

However it is easy to tell apart Siberian ethnicities from Koreans. You can also tell apart Eastern Europeans from Western Europeans, leave alone the fact that Korean is an entirely different language from Russian or the languages of the region.

Edit: regarding the languages. In Buryat people speak dialects of Mongolian. Mongolian has a shared ancestry with Turk languages.

"Lebanon is Hezbollah". The newest hit single by the IDF known for songs like "UN is Hamas" and "elementary school girl is Hamas"

I have commented this under the article in europe

Regarding sanctions on “individuals”, we have the example of Russia after the 2014 Crimea invasion and annexation.

They dont work.

Also for a country that is considered democratic, government ministers are not some rouge individuals. They also represent the government as a whole, which in turn represent its peoples political will at the time of the election.

For sanctions to be meaningful, they must address the problematic actions of the government as a whole. So cutting diplomatic ties, pulling out of economic agreements, stopping trade in certain parts of the economy, arms embargos and so on.

When and where did they say that?

Israel has announced its intent to starve Gaza on 09. October 2023.

They have only relented slightly when they felt they went too fast for the western allies to ease into the concept. They have reiterated their intent multiple times since, including a minister stating that Israel would starve all 2 million people in Gaza to death, but the west wouldnt let it.

Still we dont see any substantial aid. If you need 500 trucks a day to maintain the most basic needs of people, sending in 50 trucks still means worsening the situation and depriving 90% of the people their needs.

Even the US demanded 350 trucks a day are still below the necessar minimum, so still intended at making things unlivable in the long run.
