I was like ok that’s hot but for a record?? Then I realize that it says winter.

We’re so fucked

Fuck that’s depressing

If only all the scientists could have predicted all of this. Maybe even tried to warn us about it and write it in signs.

Stupid scientists…

I guess you are right that it created news but I doubt it will have the desired effect. One does not guarantee the other necessarily

Those tourists can’t even vote. With climate protests at least you are raising awareness in people that can have some change or make some pressure.

Yes protests need to be disruptive but spraying people in London would be just as effective as spraying tourists that are ALREADY in their city.

Yes but you could raise awareness in different ways or complain in a different place.

Those tourists are already there. They aren’t gonna pack up and leave. Sure they are probably not going to recommend Barcelona to their friends in the future but that’s insignificant.

Those tourists can’t even vote in legislation that would fix it, because they don’t live there. So it’s literally barking at the wrong tree.

And for the record, I’m very much aware that protests are almost by definition annoying. I’m very much for all the climate protests even when they block roads and such.

Thanks!! And shit has it really been a year yet? My app still says 11 months but maybe a few hours are left

Simple as.

Thanks for admitting your inconsistency and bias

Right

Because Israeli settlers definitely aren’t terrorists here

How exactly do you save a child by burning cars, houses and preventing ambulances from reaching the injured??

How many children innocent civilians are you sacrificing as well?

They are center right and in some cases not so center

Our “socialist party” is center left. Again the name isn’t 100% correct

We’re talking about Portugal here, not Poland. But yes they won’t win. It’s still problematic

Mate, far right parties, especially in Portugal want anything but debate. Their whole message is to pollute discussion and make the extremes normal.

A lot of people vote for them as protest but also a lot of people like their racist, fascist rethoric and goals. This is not a “them poor misunderstood far right parties”.

Fortunately no party is collaborating with them so their biggest impact is making sure that a right government can’t really govern.

That being said, every party has their blame in this by not solving problems or improving people’s lives as much as they should have. Another way to fight this is by having proper alternatives that people believe in but that’s easier said than done.

Im saying we should not tolerate fascism because those people do not respect our culture, values and traditions. So I definitely agree that we should kick them out.

I agree

We should not tolerate fascism.

I mean… do you trust that they won’t?

They probably will as soon as they can without significant losses.

Yes Israel is supposed to care more about Palestinians than Hamas because Hamas is a terrorist organization an Israel is supposedly not that.

When Israel is literally starving them to death who do you think they will “support”. They literally have no choice. It’s either terrorists or the people killing you.

A small correction. The article says:

Last year city residents accounted for 90% of the 39 million euros in public transport ticket sales.

So 90% of the tickets were bought by locals, not that 90% of the total revenue of that public transport service came from the tickets that locals bought. In fact this number is wildly overestimated. A lot of PT services operate based on taxes (same as this policy) and in many cases the revenue from tickets can be as low as 10%.

Honestly considering that only 10% of the tickets are coming from non residents I am surprised that it’s not free for everyone. For sure the loss of revenue there will be very small compared to the increased efficiency in operations, either from less maintenance/employees required but also to make onboarding faster/easier.

I was also not aware of these numbers until recently, when I heard thr Freakonomics episode on free public transportation.

You are equating all Palestinians as Hamas which is just factually wrong. Israel are in did fighting a war to commit genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza. This is not even debatable or something that Israel itself hides.

About half the population in Gaza are children. They also represent a significant share of the casualties and injured. Tell me how any of those children want to exterminate Jews and how Israel needs to defend itself from them. Tell me how indiscriminate bombings like that are justified.

And yes Israel did start this, decades and decades ago, and they are continuing with their plan. Hamas and Israel are both benefitting from this at the expense of civilian casualties.

LMAO you really spinned this as being “good” for homosexuals? You are talking about the party that literally was the main opponent against legalizing gay marriage in Switzerland with disgusting add campaigns.

They are also totally xenophobic and populist like you acuse them of the people that they are trying to prevent from entering the country.

Switzerland 100% relies on immigration, so much so that during Covid they couldn’t close their borders at all otherwise hospitals would have no workers. But they only (mostly) complain about the “bad immigrants” which you can very easily distinguish based on the skin tone like that family guy meme.

As an immigrant living here this was disgusting.
