In the neoliberal hell that is Finland the government that managed to make striking illegal earlier this year is now pushing through a change into labor practices to have a pay gap in lower paying jobs. This would mean the wages can never go above a certain level. They are calling this "an export focused wage model", loosely translated.

Isn't this basically mercantilism?

Unless they are willing to kill all 5.5 million people in Lebanon with airstrikes these tactics will never bring about victory.

Israel is willing to do so, they're just not able.

Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest
Eight hours for what we will;
Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest
Eight hours for what we will.

The beasts that graze the hillside,
And the birds that wander free,
In the life that God has meted,
Have a better life than we.
Oh, hands and hearts are weary,
And homes are heavy with dole;
If our life's to be filled with drudg'ry,
What need of a human soul?
Shout, shout the lusty rally,
From shipyard, shop, and mill.

Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest
Eight hours for what we will;
Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest
Eight hours for what we will.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) released a report this year (2024) finally saying that it was actually ISIS that did the chemical attack in Marea in 2015. So just under a decade to finally admit to something that was obvious. I guess you just need to wait a few more decades until they find out who did the rest of the chemical attacks.

Libs are well known for thinking countries shouldn't be invaded by other countries

"A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that’s going on right now."

It's okay when my side does it!

A perfect encapsulation of the average American lib.

Yup. Maintaining the status quo is easier than changing it. Even the tiny little bit Democrats try to change.

Why was Trump able to make so many changes? Was it because he was a better statesman than Biden?

You seek an asia-russia alliance. The world seeks the EU-US alliance. If ruzzians occupied your country I doubt you would defend them.

When you say the world, you mean these guys right?

Us: The Waffen-SS ~~was~~ is bad.

You: But whatabout Russia?

We should federate with them so we can then defederate with them.

It’s natural for children to keep some secrets from their parents.

How is this a political question?

When you are troubled, it’s better not to think about it, but to keep busy with more cheerful things.

Do the makers of this test know what politics is?

Astrology accurately explains many things.

The only relevant ideology that believes this is Reaganism.

That's Ron Desantis's face imposed the famous painting "Saturn Devouring his Son". The son has been replaced with pudding to reference the time Ron ate a cup of pudding with his fingers.
