Exactly what I was going to say. Obama is a centrist establishment politician, whereas MLK was an activist which, by definition, meant that he was operating at the then extremes of the political landscape. It would be insulting to many for

It's not safer in any way, at all. The prostitutes are not transitioning to OF. They are using it as a promotional mechanism. So you have not really eliminated the risk for them. In addition to that you have young people who would hav

Being a digital pimp is just as morally disgusting as being an irl pimp.

It's not just the language. It's also the culture. In fact I would say the culture is even more important. Germans and Americans wouldn't understand each other, even if they spoke the same culture. Their understanding of how

The law forbids the rich and poor alike from sleeping under bridges. The law in the EU is written the France and Germany.

I would rather we had the US situation where the market was dominated by new publicly traded companies, instead of companies, some of them not even publicly traded, all of which founded many decades, if not centuries ago. It is actually one

What a sick society! Over a month of nobody checking in on their elderly? I doubt all these people were all childless.

I never lived in a country where the delivery guy just leaves your shit out in the open. Why is this common in the US, when in most "safe" EU countries, people would never trust such a practice? Seems like an anti-consumer practic

So basically, if you're an individual, or a contractor who reinvests their earnings into the housing market, you face two challenges: getting competitive financing, and finding a plot of land to build on. Question: is finance screwing

Don't take this as a pro-Musk or anti-Musk comment. I just want to paraphrase his reasoning: In a recent interview on Lex Fridman, he envisioned a future where humans augmented AI, through a brain to computer device like Neuralink woul

It's populism. Germany is a country littered with voodoo "medicine" clinics, to the point that they have even been integrated in the statutory healthcare system. You take those hippie "nature above science" people a

He seems to only be talking about tech jobs, which is actually on the sunnier side of the STEM job situation. I thought he was going to talk about how, most non-IT/CS STEM degree graduates won't find an industry position that mak

I agreed with most of what you posted, but you have a misconception about these "welfare states". The immigrants end up on welfare because they are not allowed to participate in the economy. Why? Partly because of bureaucracy, and

You cannot use Europe as an example, because, it might surprise you, but European cultures are vastly different from American culture. A lot of the marginalized groups in Europe, have no problem integrating in the US. And to put the blame o

This is one of my biggest frustrations with living in Germany. And btw, so much for "walkable cities". Especially for the elderly who get the need more frequently, but even I ended up in situations where I am an hour away from hom

The real story is that all the big economies of Europe are stagnant.

Birth rates correlate inversely with security/safety. War torn countries and poor countries have high birth rates. Safe and secure countries have low birth rates.

No, I don't think so. It probably hurts the overall economy to squeeze every last bit of juice out of the consumer base like this, leaving them with no money to spend in other ways.

Here in Germany she is considered an antisemite now. All the Green party allies have publicly distanced themselves from her.

Meanwhile, I meet lots of women at my place of work who come from Indian, Iranian, Turkish, Arab, Hindu and Muslim backgrounds, which are all cultures that are constantly accused of being sexist in the western media. And yet these women see

I don't think being more educated makes you more resistant to fascism. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a correlation in the other direction, because after all education at a higher level requires a huge degree of conscientiou

Maybe the population hates the dictatorship in the same way that pretty much every country hates their government. Does that mean that they would cheer for a western take over of their land and economy?

The Zionists conspired to take over Palestine since before they even set foot in the middle east. Your historical account is carefully crafted propaganda to make it seem like the Zionists didn't simply bully their way into Palestine, b

Working From Home doesn't dissuade people from wanting to live near densely populated areas because of the social opportunities that people get out of such places. It's mostly young people driving these trends, anyway.
