@JeremyVineOn5 The hard right associate the actions of one immigrant with all immigrants, but the actions of their organised pogrum isn't linked with the wider right movement. Tommy Robinson, Elon Musk and Nigel Farage should be investigated for part they are playing in acts of domestic terror.
@Mofoow1@ZackPolanski So just because yor gut tells you that someone isn't qualified, they can't be? Regardless of their credentials? It's true what they say, you can't argue with stupid.
@paweldebik@OneCynicalWorld@ThePosieParker@Bankersbonus1 The idea that progressive taxation is envy is a childish view. Governments often make decisions on the economy that decide where wealth goes, and where it is taken from. Taxes are just one of the tools used to achieve this, so are quantitative easing and interest rates.
@OneCynicalWorld@paweldebik@ThePosieParker@Bankersbonus1 Taxing money twice isn't a paradox. The government issues money and can tax as it chooses. All fiat money is just a means to allocate assets. Taxes are a tool to achieve this. We can discuss at which levels this is done to best address inequality but the principle holds true.
@OneCynicalWorld@paweldebik@ThePosieParker@Bankersbonus1 It has nothing to do with envy. If the wealthy continue to suck up the wealth of the working and middle class, and even the wealth of the government, society and democracy collapses. The options are either to temper inequality now or have mass poverty and probably riots later.
@OneCynicalWorld@paweldebik@ThePosieParker@Bankersbonus1 Judging by the 'paradox' you think you have presented (it isn't one) it is you who is too uneducated to grasp the simple fact that if you don't tax massive wealth it eventually sucks up all wealth.
It’s an hilarious clip because if you didn’t know the characters you would think Polanski was the journalist and the guy interviewing him some kind of populist party apparatchik . But these days everything seems inverted
When Jewish people speak out against genocide, why are our voices dismissed?
And smirking while I describe someone Nazi-saluting at me isn’t just disrespectful - it feels deeply antisemitic.
