  • If China funds far-right groups, then why is it cracking down on far-right groups like the Falun Gong? And why is Trump so opposed to a country that supposedly would fund his own interests?

    For me, I think it is useful. If we as Europe pick everyone as enemy, we risk being tackled on by all of them. We will have to split them up. Have Russia antagonise the US, and be kinder to China - just kind enough to not alert the US, and to be able to build up our independence. We need to pick our battles.

    We’ve seen what happened when we got too dependent on Russia, and the insane growth of the far right when energy prices rose by a ton. To become independent from them all, we need to first focus on Russia and the US, and China can come afterward.


















  • We actually already have that since a while. It’s worked pretty well. There are gonna be a few changes, relatively minor but they do have some impact.

    • Flights up to 2,000 km away + Caribbean areas of the Kingdom = keep same flight levy of about €30.
    • Flights of 2,000-5,500 km become about €50.
    • Further away becomes around €70.

    44% are in support of it, 33% has no opinion on it, and only 26% is opposed. Most flights are within Europe.

    The expected impact is that most people will then decide to fly closer. There have been talks of making the public transit pass cheaper, which could then attract more people and quicken the recovery from covid.



  • Je zou ook kunnen kijken bij Buy Beaver en No Thanks. No Thanks is een toepassing voor op de telefoon, die vertelt je of de makerij van datgene wat je scant, betrokken is geweest bij de apartheid in Israël en Palestina.

    Bij Buy Beaver (van Canadese makerij) kun je specifiek landen kiezen om te steunen en weren. Je kunt daarmee ook scannen. Ik heb bijvoorbeeld 91 landen geweerd.

    No Thanks is beter als het specifiek om Israël en Palestina gaat, Buy Beaver is algemener.

    Buy European is ook een goeie, die richt zich op zoveel mogelijk Europees kopen.
