@MuKuDk2@POMAHMOBA I mean, their Ukraine reporting is alright, I still have a modicum of respect left for the Paul Ronzheimer/Robin Alexander types (although one of them is a Bild guy and the other now does his own podcast thing now). I findit physically hard to listen to Poschardt though
@brdmoedr Like idk about the border with Poland, because that involves rivers with limited bridges, but the Dutch border you can simply walk across every few meters, there are border spanning towns where every street is a border crossing
@brdmoedr I mean, the level of border controls countries like Germany instituted are kinda laughable compared to what non Schengen borders usually look like, and were mostly instated to please the populist monkey brain.
@Antikeburg Imo technocratic measures should only be used to reach Pareto improvements, once you reach the point where someone is worse off, it HAS to be a clearly communicated political decision.
@Antikeburg I think the issue is that we already kinda have technocracy, but it's used as a tool by politicians to move pesky decisions about questions of distribution (inherently political questions) into a Rentenkommission or whatever, which takes the burden off them.
Weil es bei dir finanziell läuft und dein Bruder gerade baut, schenkst du ihm 100.000 Euro.
Macht in Deutschland 16.000 Euro Schenkungssteuer.
Wer das für gut befindet, hasst Familien und die Mittelschicht.
@MartGuenzel@Marhelius So kommt es auch sehr leicht dazu, dass man Autoritarismus, z.B. AfD/Russland anfängt zu relativieren, weil das im Vergleich zur Utopie eh kein besonderer Unterschied zum Status quo ist.
Daher kommt gefühlt der ganze GSP-Brainrot
@MartGuenzel@Marhelius Ist halt ein konsequentes Zuendedenken der radikal linken Position: Wenn die sozialistische Utopie um ein so großes Maß moralisch/bzgl. Lebensqualität/Governance-Leistungen besser als der Status quo ist, schrumpfen die Unterschiede zw. Status quo und allem anderen zusammen.
