It's not a housing problem, it's a Capitalism problem.

Oh look, the media being Pro-Authoritarian again.

What a surprise.

If only there was some way to find out if BOTH SIDES was an opinion based upon fact or an opinion based upon the desire to perform political violence while blaming someone else for it.

I think it goes deeper than than that.

He's not even *IN* a fight because he finds any outcome more acceptable than an actual fight.

He's taking the role of "Complainer about the methodology of fascism" as opposed to "Opposer of fascism."

What does "gets the initiative" mean, legally?

ie. Does the largest party have the *legally exclusive* right to do this or is this just a tradition that can be ignored without legal penalty?

It's far more than just Trump.

It's White Americans.

1.4g per day less than last year and 6% less than 15 years ago.

That doesn't seem "much less" to me.

The cult of "masculinity is dealing death and violence!" just can't handle that masculinity is also taking care of children. Or in my case, deciding not to have children 'cause I didn't want to take care of them.

Masculinity includes many things *other* than what many believe.

As was the case in the USA, in NL shopping at 'ethnic' markets tends to be a lot cheaper than the mainstream grocery stories.

Example: Today my wife came back from our local 'ethnic' grocery with a whole chicken (1.3kg) for only 6 euros. (about 1/2 price to our local AH).

Oh look, a person finding something they think is *also* a problem as a reason as to why something else that is a problem shouldn't be addressed because they *like* the thing that's being addressed and don't want it to change.

Sure, Jan.

Well, duh.

You can't wake them up because they (at best) are only pretending to be sleeping. They're fine with authoritarianism because they're business.

Most people don't realize they spend nearly their whole life existing in anti-democratic systems: family, school, religion, work.

Almost no structures that people interact within provide them a voice that is equal to other voices.

Everywhere. They're not very opposed to the Patriarchal White Supremacy that's been the systemic structure of the USA since its founding.

They're all pro-authoritarian.

That's what business is.

I pay the equivalent of $2,235.90 per year with an equivalent of a $450 deductible for my insurance.

'Course, I live in The Netherlands.

If you own your own business and can support yourself, check out the DAFT treaty.

So the thing is, the opinion of those few customers have been formed by Capital who wants to punish workers and pretend it's for a 'reason,' and that opinion can be reformed by customers seeing sitting cashiers doing work.

Like everywhere in Europe. Or your local Aldis grocery.

Joseph Browning @jgbrowning.bsky.social · 4d

Worst type of Capital Owner.

Customers don't care.

It's actually a very consistent world-view.

The true belief of the fascist is: "That which increases fascist power is good. That which decreases non-fascist power is good. All other things are bad."

They think this increases fascist power. So they think this is good.
