Better position would be that money they receive (profit) should be taxed since people also pay taxes based on the amount of money they receive (income). But that position is basically what we already have.

The problem with the system is that a corporation has different kinds of ‘discounts’ as workers and that those differences became excuses to greatly reduce their share of the bill (low corporate taxes are good for the economy, in general) shifting the burden to the working class (since all the money spent on education, healthcare, pensions etc does end up in the pockets of the people).

The true problem is not necessarily because the corporate tax is not high enough, it’s because the benefits of a succesful company go to a small amount of people, while a serious part of the costs (infrastructure, healthy and well educated worker) are paid by a large amount of people.

The ones who should really be taxed appropriately is this small group of people who extract a lot of value from the expenses the large group of people have. Let’s say a 1000 people together costs 1000 euro, while together they earn 1100, then it leaves 100 on the table. Right now the large group of 95 does not 95, but maybe 5 or 10. While the small group of 5 does not get 5, but 90 or 95. That small group that received the vast majority pay a much smaller percentage of what they received.

Imagine doing all that work and after all that still believing this is the best thing to spend the money on. Either it was insanely easy to get people to donate or he just gave up on the country.

Oops, i replied to the wrong post.

There are many people who tried to compare current day wealth to the wealth of historic figures. Those are, afaik, never about hard facts but a way of translating an estimation. This article names 8 trillionaires for example. They give ganghis kahn an estimated $120 trillion, and consider mensa musa so much richer they call his wealth uncrompihensible. You can find similar lists online, i guess the same names will take a similar spot on the ranking, but the numbers will differ. They tend to look at relative wealth (they estimate that Elon Musk has xx % of all money globally and compare that to the estimated percentage of global wealth of a historic figure and translate that to a current day value).

You sure about that? The rich will have to pay your childcare! Also, you’ll earn at least $20 an hour. Also, your money can’t go to overpriced food, because the state will own a place that sells food. On top of that, there won’t be any datacenters, so you will be left with enough water, enough electricity and enough land! Doesn’t it sound much nicer to have no taxes for the rich? Imagine what they can do with all the money they now don’t have to spend on the other people in society. Imagine a world where they can “invest” all of their wealth. Doesn’t that sound much better? Think mate!

You see this with support for progressive / conservative policies too. Must be countless studies into what the cause is for this effect.

I’d argue every race (so far they exist in the first place) could experience all kinds of racism and xenofobia.

I’ve heard of Europeans visiting current-day Japan tell of individual racism, where one family would welcome you in sharing their home from a inner need to share; while the family next door might not talk to you, from an inner fear of all things strange and foreign. This is not exclusive to Japan of course. I heard others tell stories of institutional racism in South-America and Africa where white people encounter corrupt officials (a quite common thing in broken countries) and are basically forced to pay double because of their roots. Of course this is nothing compared to the racism by white people enflicted upon the world, especially the last millenium.

I think in many ways i would agree with the thoughtless digital attack dog we’re responding to, but I do not believe it is braindead liberal logic as I don’t believe we’ve encountered a European or North-American individual. It find it more likely to be the cause of anti-western narrative, perhaps from an Asian country. But I do not care why they argue, i care what they argue. And the statement that someone cannot experience racism because of they belong to a specific race is baseless hate.

The fact that you equal me to all white people is you putting me in a box based on race. Even worse, the race you assume me to be. The only racist between us is you.

You’re confusing things there, buddy. You say racism but you describe white supremacy.

white supremacy, beliefs and ideas purporting natural superiority of the lighter-skinned, or “white,” human races over other racial groups. (www.britannica.com/topic/white-supremacy)

Saying white people are not able to experience racism is racism, also saying all white people inherently desire white supremacy is racism:

racism, the belief that humans may be divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called “races”; that there is a causal link between inherited physical traits and traits of personality, intellect, morality, and other cultural and behavioral features; and that some races are innately superior to others. (www.britannica.com/topic/racism)

Inhumanely housing people + minimaly feeding them - having them do labour = negative costs

White people cannot experience racism.

That is racism though.

What a surprise!

I think you were right about opposition being strongest in the capital My experience is big cities are more pro-european in general and rural villages generally more ‘pro-region’, I don’t know about Hungary in particular but i wouldn’t be surprised if that were true there too, not just since Orbán left but also in 2022 2021

You can extrapolate from the other maps. Too bad they are so small though.

You realize the data includes the opinion of non-whites too right?

And Europeans invented racism? Lol, that vile exists everywhere, and long before there was a European civilization.

The little text on the image mentions “the survey was only held in EU countries”, the big text on the image doesn’t care.

Doesn’t this only work if you piss them off about something you wanna change like “isn’t it stupid how few data centers there are? We all want data centers but these stupid renters with shitty wages are always in our way, we should create build more data centers! We have to throw out the stupid renters and their shitty wages!”

Feudalism 101

On Friday evening, January 21st, she repeated the saying on Twitter and Instagram, in slightly different form, adding that it was a Circassian proverb (in Turkish: öküz saraya çıkınca kral olmaz, ama saray ahır olur). At 2 a.m. that Saturday morning, she was detained for ‘insulting’ the Turkish President, which is as strong an admission that she’d hit the mark as it’s possible to imagine.

I read that Orbán was an inspiration to the writers of Project 2025, but i guess Erdogan might also be a real life example for Trump. He needed a few decades to turn his country from a secular democracy into a religious “democracy”. I really feel for the opposition there. How long before Trump puts people behind bars for insulating the president and locks up Democrats because of “corruption”.

One question though, what is Hunter Biden doing on the platform formerly known as Twitter? The only people he’ll run into there are people who post shit like this anyway.
