The government has done nothing but spreading hatred against all sorts of foreigners since it’s infancy. They make no real effort to manage these issues, it’s the exact opposite. I mean the government clearly does not tolerate criticism against itself but they know people need to vent so racism became their channel of choice here. Even if you don’t know what the Chinese media landscape looks like, this is not difficult to figure out with an ongoing genocide and all.

So go home.

Either way, it’s a catastrophy for the european economy. The past 5 years will feel like a walk in the park compared to what’s to come if Trump follows up on his promises. We’re talking about mass migration like we haven’t seen in 80 years and inflation that’s magnitudes worse than we’ve seen the past couple years. I’m almost looking forward to our elections next year in Germany because right wing will almost certainly win and then crumble under the pressure of what’s likely to come.

And it’s far from the worst things they’re going to do about their declining population. This is why we don’t want authoritarianism.

I do not think they’re dissatisfied with democracy but rather the lack thereof in their country. The article actually sort of explains it but then seemingly takes a wrong turn at the end with an assumption that isn’t really comprehensible nor explained further.

The worst part about gas are all the leaks on site. Once it’s in the air, you can’t get it out. Often they don’t even burn the gas and just let it leak straight into the atmosphere. And we didn’t even get to liquifying the product or address the environmental cost of fracking for example. Meanwhile when coal falls off an excavator you just pick it up again.

If you care about the environment, go renewable. Gas isn’t magic and sugar coating won’t clean coal.

Post-pandemic idiocity (historically, far right politics become very popular after a pandemic, or so I’ve read) coupled with all the other issues. The filthy rich playing off the masses against each other being a big one. And of course it’s Austria we’re talking about. They’re resilient to learning from past mistakes even when it was just a couple years ago. It’s actually baffling how easily they swing from one side to another, but that’s probably partly because it’s a tiny nation.

They’re merely raking in slightly less massive profits compared to last year. They could probably make up for it by simply not paying out massive bonuses for higher ups, but we all know they’ll cut jobs instead unless they get that sweet tax payer money. Greedy scumbags.

Tanzania and Zambia about to join the “going to find out about Chinese colonialism the hard way” club. Corruption is cancer to any society.

A lot of their voters couldn‘t even vote before. GenZ make up a big portion of extreme right voters because that‘s how TikTok works apparently. The young have a huge media competency deficit.

Not only that but established brands simply have many more production lines that if they switch to fully electrict can outproduce Tesla tenfold.

And that sounds like a guy who carefully plans his gigafactory around every tree to get the most buck for his bark to you?

Tell me how much did he spend on Xitter again? Are you sure you know who we‘re dealing with?

My assumption is that they identified an area ready for harvest

I admire your ability to just believe. I really do.

That‘s more than Napoleon lost in Russia in one of history‘s most remarkable military blunders. So the Russians can‘t even look back at that fondly anymore. It‘s truly insane.

I have to hard disagree on this outmost pessimistic outlook because it reads like any regulation we already have is pointless so we can just scrap regulations and rules altogether across the board. That’s similar to the neoliberalist rethoric I loathe to see pushed into my recommendations and it’s simply not true. In reality we do see that regulations sometimes do the trick. It’s just that they likely won’t regulate them as harsh as I proposed, but that’s a different argument. Regulation as an instrument does work.

I mean it‘s the exact same if you visit Youtube without an account or cookies. The Internet has become a swamp of right wing and neoliberal populism that kicks down on minorities and people with lower than average income in general. The insane amount of completely made up rage bait stories that you get recommended is just unfathomable.

I think it‘s gotten to a point where it needs to be regulated how many lies a site can throw at you at the same time and I don‘t say this lightly. I just see no other way to get this mind eating populist machine under control.

I think most of it comes from buying already established brands and then rebranding them, but keeping their name.

Lesser-evil’ing into self destruction.

Well said. And I’m not sure if that last bit was meant to be sarcastic, but it looks to me people got tired of lesser-evil’ing and just vote for the most evil instead. And I doubt many of them actually aim for improvement. They’re in full destruction mode and deep down they know that.
