They did the bare minimum of just eliminating or replacing those in charge of enforcing it, because they lack so much basic decency they don’t even feel the need to feign.

Most obvious deployment ever.

Funny how you end that last comment, given what it is … And funny how parting from such a class based obsession, you twist the argument back to the default that’s served to get us to ignore reality. Your argument isn’t anything new, it is what we are fed up with.

The first affected by this are the people who don’t have job mobility or wealth. Those are farms, and by “family farms” I I assume you mean the big corporate land owners who end up buying them. These are migrant workers. Their conditions also go to the bottom - they have more ready access to social services but their wealth and acquisition power is the first to be affected.

They are the ones who are already at the bottom, and are seeing their quality of life tank first. Housing, the economy, they are the first to have to adapt their standards to those of the migrants coming in to perform those jobs. They have to say goodbye to things like the family “farm” and homes you so romanticize and their best hope is to at least be able to use the advantage to move into urban jobs, not because they are more educated but because they pay better. They are the first stuck with “owning nothing” and coming to terms with it.

Same story for the large meat processing companies in Germany who need more butchers and the jobs they displace, except that now it makes it harder for those at the bottom to move into jobs like them. Was it something you were considering because as a migrant farmer your life was going to shit with the increasing cost of living? Not a choice anymore. I laugh at the notion that anyone could consider these “middle class”, but then again you just regurgitate the same old. It doesn’t have to be with the lowest paid jobs, either, this has been going on with the tech industry to great effect for years. This has resulted in countries that really don’t have any control of where their own technology sector is heading off to but rather one that belongs to one of a few international corporations keeping the cycle going.

Migrant farmers and workers have it worse than ever, unless they are coming from far worse economies, I find your argument laughable at best. Maybe the reason you are so blind is because you’ve already accepted working at age 5 and shit standards as a norm. Meanwhile, governments become increasingly corrupt and the increasing wealth gap between the leaders and the lowest rung of society is only praised by comments like yours.

The reason people are also having less children is precisely because of the way quality of life is tanking.People aren’t suddenly less able to reproduce, they just don’t want to go race to the bottom to have children. Rather than allowing societies time to adjust and compensate for these changes, people in their governments are forcing the race to the bottom.

The immigrants coming for these jobs are willing to drop their quality of life and make sacrifices like renting shared living spaces and having to work under worse conditions. Once we are at the bottom, the same problem will happen, just with lowered standards. This ends up making the “developing” countries balance out with the “developed” ones, which wouldn’t be so bad if the politics didn’t tank as a net loss. It’s always requires more effort to to build up a healthy political environment than to take it down.

The “crisis”, is that they all want cheaper workers, not that their particular workers aren’t cheaper than their neighbors. It’s a race to the bottom. If there’s a shortage of workers, their wages rise, and people are interested in their jobs but then they would have to cut the profits.

Germany can and has attracted other EU citizens. They want cheaper. Butchers’ shop and “critical skilled” are oxymorons. The Indians coming into Germany are working for the big shops and factories, not opening their own. It is a shift towards a migrant laborer based economies while those that own the actual assets get rich for relatively little effort, like with housing and the shift from owning to renting. The gap just keeps getting bigger.

It could also turn to other places in Europe for them. But that’s the thing, isn’t it, this isn’t really about a shortage of workers, it’s about not wanting to pay them more.

We were badly addressing it until today’s world leaders decided to do a 180 and accelerate towards it. The good thing is that the efforts to prolong just themselves will also help them suffer the more for it.

In today’s world, her social account would have been deleted and her posts doomed to oblivion.

All devs should be doing something like this. From what you are describing, you are basically dealing with cylon accounts waiting to get activated.

This is the most obvious invasion since iced tea.

Putin tool applauds common Putin tactic of enshittifying your enemies instead of just being better than them. Enemies, because neoconfederates aren’t really able to have allies, just subjects.

That’s true, but there’s several problems with that: the social bubble of the people who serve in those military usually have some distance from the societal norm, violence and chaos makes the country susceptible to be picked off by special interests, and it basically means that at the end of the day their leaders have to be willing to relinquish power.

From my understanding, the pedophilia was used as a means, not the ends. They wanted to be influential, and trying to get socially awkward scientific leaders who probably didn’t have great relationships with the opposite sex was probably particularly effective.

They tried to create an exclusive “social elite” men’s club, using prostitution and pedophilia as their tools, and sure it’s an example of misogyny and power imbalance, but frankly, I still wouldn’t respect them if we flipped around the genders or evened them out. Science doesn’t have an Epstein problem, it has a misogyny and power imbalance problem.

Maybe it also has a pedophilia and prostitution problem, but the article doesn’t really explore that, it’s just guilt by association. Which, fair enough, it’s Epstein, but I doubt being as manipulative as they were that they tried to sell themselves the same to everybody.

That’s another problem, people are not the borg, and they also need to survive. It’s part of the reason authoritarian governments tend to play different regions and subcultures against each other.

Unfortunately that’s pretty much the fate of any attempt at revolution nowadays, the gap between how many a soldier can kill versus one civilian can kill is just too high. In the US where people have more rights and were more free to coordinate, it hasn’t mattered how much ICE was outnumbered.

Meanwhile, Texas is busy sentencing people of supporting terrorism because they are related to antifa. Being a pedophile with aspirations to crown himself a king, straight to the White House with the sledgehammer to knock it down.
