does this apply only to the internet? e.g. are you against laws that prevent stores from selling tobacco to minors because it’s their parents responsibility that they don’t smoke?

Im not saying Texas’ solution is a good idea, but also I feel it is at least weird this contradictory situation between the physical world and the internet

their parents also work harvesting cocoa. The reason they are poor despite being working a lot is that they are not paid enough for their work… by Mars (or Nestle, Mondelez, etc)

middle class is now “the richest 10%”? not sure they know what “middle” means

If someone is putting civilians between you and them and you still shoot, you are not better than them.

their nation was literally built on top of violence.

would you say that to people in every single colonialist country? e.g. the US?

Unfortunately most western states have completely ignored for years the atrocities committed against the people in Palestine. Not allowing these kinds of protests also prevents people in those countries from voicing their rejection of their governments position, making it more difficult for those governments to change their postures.

Putting pressure on Israel’s allies is for most people the only way they have to support Palestinians

This ban also legitimises the idea that supporting Palestine is equal to supporting terrorism or antisemitism, which also can increase hate crimes against them (and Arab people in general)

lottery winner tries to convince people to spend all their savings in lottery tickets: “It worked for me and it can work for you too”

Back in 2021 the supreme court had already declared abortion as not a crime, but the sentenced, while settled a precedent, did not applied in the whole country. This new sentence applies in the whole country and also forces mexican healthcare public institutions to provide abortion to any person that requests it.

how is this good specifically for women in the border? this applies equally in the whole country

this is exclusively about protecting the meat & dairy industry. nothing more.

I don’t think they claim the movie is misleading. They are using the recent popularity of the topic brought by the movie to expose some harsh truths that might otherwise be ignored.

they make their income out of tourism because that is what government decisions have fostered. after the 2009 crisis, it became a quick and easy way to reintroduce people into work. Unfortunately it is an exploitative industry that allows little possible grow to people working in it.

Most people in that industry are not making a living out of it, they are trapped in it.

Im talking about a very specific kind of tourist. Im well aware some do bring value, but far too many only take it away. additionally, the fact that tourism is a big chunk of the economy does not mean we should pander to it. it is absolutely possible to redirect investments into other economic areas to make them grow.

I lived in Barcelona for a decade. recently I moved to small town (also in the Mediterranean cost). I agree with the sentiment. I am not fully onboard with the “tourists go home” feeling, but I do get where it comes from. After a while it does become annoying seeing people using the place you live as a party location. A group of people come, get a cheap airbnb and buy a lot of alcohol in some supermarket. They don’t bring any value to the city.

In my current town it is not so much the British, but German and Benelux people. It is frustrating not being able to go to a supermarket to get food because the place is crowded by people who got a cheap bungalow somewhere in a camping location.

I would say that stop voting a**holes is even better (and the best thing is, you can do both!)

Do you realize these groups operates on places where SUVs are not required at all? no one is deflating tires in Texas. They operate in dense urban european areas which all have great public transport.

I am quite surprised to see how many people think that is is OK to pollute, hoard public space and make cities worst just because you had money to buy a SUV

driving SUVs through Hamburg? yes.
