I remember videos comparing Sinwar as he was throwing the stick at the drone, fighting until the last moment contrary to Israels claims he would hide in tunnels, with Netanyahu hiding in Israeli tunnels the moment the air sirens went off when Iran retailiated for Israels attacks.
If they just wouldn’t care, they would leave the people who speak up alone. But they are actively repressing and attacking them
That is a very broad generalization. First of all inflation is not just some co-product of economic activity. It has specific reasons. An economy is not stagnant because the oil price sinks after geopolitical tensions ease. An economy is not stagnant because businesses are kept from price gouging in cartels or monopoly situations.
Also “stagnant” is not inherently bad. The reason why we need economic growth is because the super rich are siphoning off more and more wealth, so economic growth is the only thing keeping poor people from revolting. A zero growth or even degrowth economy could serve the people very well, if wealth wouldn’t be hoarded away by select few.
Why? Idiots thinking they know more than they do won’t be stopped by this. Also if we wanted to round humanities and liberal arts by making it mandatory to pass analysis, linear algebra, organic chemistry and classical physics would just lead to much more people not graduating anything.
School is for a general education. Academia is for specialization.
Ethics? Trump? The companies stock price has almost quadroupled over the past year. Since Trumps election it nearly doubled.
Everyone who knows the company knows that it serves to aid authoritarian regimes in oppressing its people. It is known that Palantir serves Israel in its genocide and oppression of the Palestinian people. The entire purpose of this company is to help oppress. Palantir is having ties with the ICE since at least 2014.
It is evil through and through and it is laughable to claim that Trump would be the reason why the company would have gone to far.
They have strong domestic support because they have been poisoning the public debate with always jumping on migration and inventing stories as well as blowing things out of proportion and the media and other parties playing along. The more politics shifted to the right because of the AfD, the stronger the AfD became.
Their ideas and the way they conduct themselves was normalized, so people approve of it, because they think it is normal and legitimate. If you make it clear that it is neither, it will defuse the far right. Also by banning them, their organizations are dismantled, their politicians thrown out of power and their assets seized.
If you want to stop a fire you need to stop fueling it with self-igniting fuel. Only then can you extinguish the fire.
Any follow up organization is also banned. So if a new organization forms it will be much easier to see if they are a follow up organization and dissolve it right away.
You misunderstand these values. The say “if everyone would pollute, like the top …” But when you have 10 people emitting 1% of all emissions and 1000 people emitting 10% of all emissions, you wont get the emissions down to a sustainable level, unless you also address the emissions of the 1000 people.
It doesn’t matter for the climate change, who or how many people emit, just how much it is in total. I agree that those who emit disproportionately also need to pay more to fix it.
If my taxes would go towards make that infrastructure sustainable, i would happily pay more taxes. As it stands my taxes mostly go to more Autobahn, upkeep of parking spots, subsidies for desastrous industries and cross-financing the retirement insurance, so the boomers can go on cruise vacations.
A maximum of 10,000% profit is “nonprofit”? Any country that allows for something like this is a joke.
He could just take another form of transportation. There is no public records of cars driven or train tickets purchased.
He could even fly with normal airlines so there would be no public record of his flight.
Boycotting Israeli products is mandated by international law. Anything that helps Israel maintain the illegal occupation of the Westbank, Gaza and East Jerusalem is complicity and illegal. Israel launders products that are made in occupied territory and resources stolen in occupied territory as “made in Israel”. But even if product would have been made purely in the 1967 Israeli borders, the companies still pay taxes that are used to finance the army that is doing the occupation.
If you think that upholding international law is crazy or childish i recommend you to look at the period from 1933 to 1945 that is often given as the reason why there was an effort to create international law.
Hypothetically another major recall could cause more cars to be returned than sold.
By now i think we need to assume everyone that is willing to use Israeli tech in any government functions, even if it is only “local police” using Palantir software and the like to be compromised by Israeli intelligence.
The data will be compromised to the detriment of the people and politicians who push for using such tech are likely compromised themselves already.
Go to demonstrations, boycott, speak up about Palestine, message your representatives, vote only for politicians that condemns Israels attacks and have a credible policy of supporting Palestinian rights.
As for donations there is organizations that try to get Israeli war criminals prosecuted and challenge governments in court to stop arming Israel. See two examples below.
It doesnt really make sense for Portugal to be connected in any way but through Spain. It would require to build an underwater cable arbitrarily around Spain. if the Iberian peninsula would be better connected to the rest of the EU grid, maybe add an underwater cable to Italy in the mix, it could have made the difference to keep the grid afloat.
Hungary openly defying the ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu. Germany toeing around it and the new chancellor already announcing he wants to defy it. France saying they would arrest him, but allow him to use their airspace. The US praising the ICC when it comes to arrest warrants against Putin, and then sanctioning people working there when it comes to Israel.
Pracitically all EU countries and the US acting contrary to the ICJ “advisory opinion” that the illegal occupation of the Westbank, East Jerusalem and Gaza must not be aided in any way, be it diplomatically, militarily, financially or economically.
It is more that the countries that used to build what could have become a rules based international order are now tearing it down because they find genocide and horrendous crimes against humanity more attractive.
Operators of nuclear plants say nuclear plants are important. Next up: Carmakers telling us why cars should be the center of all mobility.
Nobody is kept from taking additional education if they want to, like you did. But the general education should be from school and school education needs to define the standard of what everyone should know or should at least have known at some point so he or she can refresh upon it.
If you make it mandatory to make academic education contain every subject like school did, you will end up with programs taking 20 years instead of 5 years to graduate. If you want to discriminate against certain subjects you end up in the same trap of defining certain subjects as relevant and others as irrelevant, like the criticized “STEM-lords”
