Jews are the most clannish people I have ever met and the most prone to shameless nepotism (speaking as Jew).
ChuckNorris89 · a year ago
Agree. Hollywood and Wallstreet are great examples. Also the founders of Google and Facebook. It's no coincidence. Though I'm not sure this is nepotism as much as it is organized clan behavior.

I think Indians are even more so but there it's about caste and not just being Indian.

Humans are weird.

I don't understand how you can question this, are you trying to stop our government from being able to fight right-wing Russian misinformation trolls? With attitudes like that, Ukraine will lose.

Upvotes to the left, folks.

Ah yes, the invisible boogieman, Russian online trolls, the reason we should all give up our rights, "for your safety". "but think of the children".

I have no idea how those metrics are calcupated, but by selecting "international USD" (whatever that means...), the US and EU are basically on par... Seems almost like economics are too complex a topic to easily compare in an online comment.
ChuckNorris89 · 2 years ago
GDP is actually the easiest, most apples-to-aples thing to compare, I don't know why you're saying it's too complex. And the graph clearly shows the EU falling behind the US, both in nominal $ and in GDP per capita.

yes, it was a big amount, and it affected all the stats.
ChuckNorris89 · 2 years ago
The stats were poor (behind the US) even before Brexit

An optimistic view would be that courts decide what is right and wrong. They are supposed to be independent of both the government and the parliament, and if you fear a dystopian future where they aren't, shutting down TikTok isn't going to be our biggest problem.

I don't get your comment. The police can come break up mass gatherings without consulting with the courts first.

Great living in the EU:

-Economy become stagnant (EU economy was 10% larger than the US economy in 2005; in 2022, US economy was 40% larger than the EU's)

-Ever increasing power centralization into Brussels with all kinds of fun instruments like joint debt

-Censorship laws coming up

Nothing can convince me the end result won't be something akin to the Soviet Union. All the right mechanisms are creeping into place

ChuckNorris89 · 2 years ago
I think you're exaggerating with the Soviet Union comparison. But yeah, the economy and jobs market is pretty stagnant. What's not stagnant is the housing market. We're gonna be like Canada soon.
