  • They banned NPD and AFD happened.

    All you’ll get is a new party filling up the political vacuum and their audience being even more die-hard radicals.

    In a democracy where some 30% vote nazi, banning them won’t solve anything. Anything.

    No, I won’t shut up, because you and people like you are part of the problem. If you think the solution is to jail and ban your political opponents, I got bad news for you.

    Wow, a new unknown bacteria! Probably two pills of any generic antibiotic and it’s gone! Oh no, let me never pet a stray ever again.

    Last year one guy in England went outside for a walk, slipped and fell hitting his head against the pavement – he ended up in a hospital. Me, I now do not recommend anyone in the world ever leaves the premises of their apartment.



  • You live in a developing country that has “recently” ended a straight of dictatorship. Your previous government did everything possible to fk up your rental market to the point of it having one of the worst salary-to-housing ratio in the world.

    40 years ago you would’ve been unemployed cuz there was no private sector.

    At the same time, with your background you wouldn’t even need to move to Germany/France/Nordics to fix your situation. You could move to fuckin Poland and you’d get your housing needs sorted out.

    When I say “by choice”, for Portuguese folks it means staying in their country. You have an EU passport. Use it.



  • Exactly. You also sell your country to a Russian oligarch while on drugs. This becomes a huge meme and essentially 100% of the popualtion has heard the story. 5 years later you win the elections and form the government.

    I’d say these elections are a landmark in democratic failures of modern history.

    Austria is top 20 HDI, the popualtion is educated and informed, there’s a free press, living standard is one of the highest in Europe, there’s a strong social security system, unions, Vienna keeps winning at being the most liveable city in the world (with 25% of the Austrian population living there). The list goes on.

    How is such election outcome possible?








  • I wanna see those college graduates struggling with the bills. I know artists, PhD students, unqualified workers and else who have this problem to some degree. I don’t know anyone with a college degree and 3+ years of private sector experience struggling. We can debate wth is with the stagnant real wages, but certainly nobody with a decent degree is struggling. Or only by choice.

    What I know contrary is people with any IT related degree, or businessy degrees, or STEM grads going into consulting, etc. And all those people earning enough to support a family of 3 way before hitting their 30s, yet being single and enjoying that income all by themselves . They then pay insane rents in the cities, travel, go out for dinner every other night, maintain some random portfolio of ETFs, buy groceries at organic-only groceries, and so on.

    So, yeah, wages been stuck for a looong while. But if you struggle to make the ends meet with a college degree it’s on you.
