  • Americans don’t have healthcare because their masters don’t want them to have it, not because the money is being spent elsewhere.

    The US has one of the world’s highest per capita public spendings on healthcare and the highest private. There are more money per capita in the American healthcare system than in any other system in human history. The money is there already. What is lacking is political will to make these money go towards actual healthcare instead of grifts, corruption and rent extraction.














  • I’ve seen people suggest that the failed zionist hooligan riot in Amsterdam was not just horrible people being horrible but was a deliberate false flag operation carried out by the illegal zionist entity. What do people in this site think about that theory? Some points made in support of the theory:

    • Prior news reports stated that operatives of the terrorist organisation Mossad would be sent to Amsterdam to protect the hooligans
    • The incidents happened on the anniversary of the Kristallnacht, the best time for this to happen from the viewpoint of zionist propagandists
    • Amsterdam’s green party mayor has a history of being more permissive towards anti-genocide and pro-liberation protests than the zionist entity and the far-right Duty regime likes. The entity is petty enough to ger her blamed for “antisemitic pogroms” as revenge.
    • The western consent manufacturing machine was in full swing right away, with every mainstream media outlet and professional opinion-haver parroting the same lines about “antisemitic” violence.

    Against this theory speaks:

    • Zionist hooligans are this horrible.
    • Nobody could have predicted that the locals would defend themselves this decisively. There would have been no media outrage if the hooligans had just done their racist violence unopposed.
    • The zionist entity does not control scheduling of European football matches, UEFA does. Although UEFA is corrupt and liberal I somehow feel that the idea of the terrorist organisation Mossad dictating the match schedule to be too conspiratorial to seem plausible.
    • Western liberals do not need a conspiracy to be racist against Arabs and assume the worst about their intentions. They will uncritically believe any zionist claim of “antisemitism” as they have done every time until now.

  • I see it more like European reactionaries adopting another nasty brainworm from their American role models. I don’t think they pay much attention to American liberals idealising Norwegian prisons.

    Eurofash are seeing how the “crime exists, therefore it must be punished harder” spiral is serving as a perpetual motion device driving fash engagement in the US and use it at home, most often getting the results they want.

    Europe is often behind the US when it comes to the progress of fascist culture war escalation (with genocidal racism against refugees being a notable case of the re erase being the case). I think this can be ascribed to Europe benefiting from still retaining parts of the welfare state, still having some amount of union power and still having a historical memory of what old-school goose-stepping fascism was actually like. Americans are being squeezed harder than Europeans, are less aware and less able to exercise collective power, consequently they are more vulnerable to falling for fascist propaganda, giving the burger fash more fertile soil to grow and develop faster.



  • Denmark’s Liberal Party wants to “double the sentences” for aggravated assault. Strongman party leader Troels Lund Poulsen claims to be “indignated” about violent criminals getting off too easy. He says he wants to double the sentences. He also say that he doesn’t want to change maximum sentences. When asked about how he will reconcile those two conflicting statements he deflects.

    When asked whether he believes tougher sentencing would lead to less violent crime he deflects and starts to talk about how it is about being fair to victims. When asked whether the proposal is intended to reduce violent crime or to make victims feel better he says it is about both. When asked once more if he believes it will reduce violent crime he goes back to avoiding to give anything resembling an answer.

    Poulsen is confronted with the fact that prisons are already lacking capacity and has a shortage of prison guards. He dismisses this with idealist slogans about how it can’t be right that their pig-headed fetish for putting people in prison should be constrained by material reality. He talks about how they will just “find the money” for more prisons.

    The Liberal Party makes up one third of Denmark’s ruling Social Democrat-led right-wing regime. The proposed increase in sentencing is made on behalf of the Liberal Party only and has received support from the far right.
