  • You made the decision you have a child - now take the responsibility and stop relying on the government or companies to educate your children.

    "your children, your problem"? No. Raising the next generation is widely understood to be a burden shared between parents and wider society. Point in case: public schools and kindergardens are essential for modern society, and they are largely funded by taxpayer money, not by parents.

    We shouldnt just hope that parents successfully fight the hydra of online dangers by doing DNS filtering & running ad blockers on all devices their children can get their hands on.

    We are perfectly able to block minors from entering brothels, or from buying cigarettes and booze. Why should we not be able to do the same for internet usage?

  • No contradiction there (I'd very much like to ban infant circumcision)

  • No. Kids will do what their peers do. As a parent, I have limited influence – unless I want to do other things that are detrimental in their own way like… confiscate their smartphones & ground them.

  • I can educate my children all I want – if their peers are on Social Media nonstop, they will be too.

  • Well yes. In addition to the body parts we all have, women have some that are exclusive to them; and as they're a bit special they require extra rights.

  • oh, right. - i was under the impression we were talking about the elites among their respective societies.

  • Some people with a lot of money who want to change politics in a given country do NOT belong to that country's elites. To name some of the most prominent examples – think (dis)information campaigns by individuals like Mohammed bin Salman, Vladimir Putin or Rupert Murdoch.

    Conversely, members of cultural elites like journalists or artists can often be quite poor (or at least not in the monetary class to be able to finance info ops)

  • elites

    I think you misspelled "anyone who is able to throw a lot of money at it"

  • what he does matters, of course. what he says… idk. what he says does not relate much to what he does. and he says awful things every day, every word a lie, and manages to dominate the news cycle for years on end. it's a constant stream of shit. we're doing ourselves a disservice by bathing in shit everyday.

  • No he doesn't, because he can't.

    But good to know we still talking about all the hot air escaping Trump instead of more important things happening in the US and elsewhere.

  • Das einfachste wäre, jeden Besitz in Deutschland pauschal zu besteuern.

    Aaaah okay. So ein bißchen als analog dazu, die Unternehmenssteuern da zu erheben wo die ihren Umsatz machen, statt nur da wo der offizielle Unternehmenssitz ist. Ja, das hat Sinn. Danke, darüber hatte ich bisher nicht nachgedacht.

  • idk, Merz was a weak opponent, too. He kind of coasted to victory only due to the extreme unpopularity of the Scholz coalition government.

  • Selbst wenn man alle Schlupflöcher schließt, zahlt die nächste Generation keine Steuern mehr.

    Ich akzeptiere jetzt mal aus Spaß deinen schwarz-weiß-Ansatz den du implizierst ("Erbschaftssteuer nimmt den Leuten ALLES weg, und dann haben sie NIX mehr").

    Dann muß ich doch zu dem Schluß kommen: Wenn ich die Schlupflöcher nicht schließe, zahlt keine Generation Steuern.

  • Ja gut, is halt genau das wofür die AfD gewählt wird, von Leuten deren persönlicher Horizont mit dem eigenen Tellerrand deckungsgleich ist.

    Hauptsache billiges Gas für den Fossilismus. Alles was dem entgegenläuft ist, ist gegen Deutschland. Alles was dafür ist, ist offensichtlich keine Gefahr.

  • Ja, erwachsene Seelen zu zerstören.

    (ich bezweifle, daß für TikTok das Alter der zerstörten Seelen relevant ist.)
