That's not how this works. A better solution would be to tax more aggressively second+ homes and severely limit what corporations can invest into.

Why should a company be able to profit off of second hand housing? This isn't a commodity, but it's treated as such. Companies should be able to build new housing (for sale) and own housing only for the purposes of, say, housing their employees if they so wish. I simply see no benefits to allowing companies trade living spaces like stocks.

My example was about how people get together to make revolutions happen, not wether they were good/bad or what ended up happening after. I chose those examples because in both cases a revolt was long time coming but people couldn't do it until they were organised

Look at history. You need a tipping point, but more importantly, you need organised masses and a vision/visionary to get behind.

That's how Lenin got in power. It's how the French decapitated their king. That's why there was a rally at the White house when trump lost the previous election but nobody is doing anything against him now at the states while he dismantles the country.

You can follow the sub just like you would on Reddit. The exact placement of things may vary depending on which client/app you use, if on mobile, but there should be an option to subscribe somewhere on the community page or in the menu of one of the posts from here.

You will then find your home or local feed where only what you follow will appear.

Thinking that individual European countries have local identities and states or others don’t is absolutely a lack of understanding and not a lack of context.

That's not at all what I said. It's in fact the opposite and because of that I said I can't argue with most of your previous points.

On your latter point, I do lack some understanding on the native reservations, but as far as I know they're still under the governance of the US to some extent. My assumption was they can at least participate in the 'democracy' which affects them immensely. It's very sad that's not the case...

I can't and don't want to argue with your point, however in the faceless internet space unless you specify you speak from the name of a specific subgroup, the blanket 'American' is implied. It's not a lack of understanding, it's a lack of context.

Contrary to that Europe doesn't have one cohesive identity, your example of Orban is multiple country borders removed from me personally. I don't have the power to vote for/against him or influence that country in any way, where that's different in your case.

In what way exactly is the current administration better?
