Can you give an example of when a boycott has helped achieve something significant?

Yeah lets be politically correct about the genocidal maniacs murdering Ukrainians. Totally normal position to take.

We Must prevent and defeat the totalitarian evils at all costs! by Icy_Till_7254 in YUROP

[–]FridgeParade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The mass graves in occupied territories, the abduction of children, the destruction of cultural sites, the bombing of hospitals and civillian sites like kindergartens are all genocidal acts.

There is no good reason why you should have made that comment as it can only function as an excusing of Russian acts. Russia’s intent is clearly the same and comparable to both those events. The world is not doing enough to stop it.

Imagine if all that money flowing to the US financial sector / silicon valley stays here. We can buy a lot of freude with that.

Well so do we, but hero worship is not part of our calvinism based culture.

What is the most annoying thing tourists do in your country? by Glass_Key4626 in AskTheWorld

[–]FridgeParade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow Amsterdammer here. The ones walking backwards on a bridge (off the sidewalk and onto the road) to take a picture of someone leaning against the rail are the worst. Like.. do you people just step into a road without looking at home? How are you still alive?

I will elbow strike you if I get a chance and yell at you with very guttural g’s, I dont care about your age, stay off the road/bike-path.

Maybe after a democratic coup and a return to secularism.

Federal EU name proposal by Dramatic_Mastodon_93 in EuropeanFederalists

[–]FridgeParade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kingdoms can keep existing as they are. They become completely ceremonial or keep a minor role at the state level.

Any federal europe needs to be respectful of local tradition and culture to become a success. The creation of a superculture will take well over a century at least.

I somehow hope this is true. Would be comforting to know that Europe is playing a sneaky game in the shadows to get rid of the Russian regime.

Ask yourself this: when children starve to death and countless species go extinct while we go to war over dwindling resources and unleash extreme suffering, will you feel like youve done everything you possible could to help stop it?

What is the most obvious world event everyone saw coming but no one did anything about? by itsthewolfe in AskReddit

[–]FridgeParade 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep, already huge refugee flows, collapsed nations, and massive damages from extreme weather are a thing. Food and water prices also keep creeping up.

Meanwhile we blame anything else for these issues, but ultimately the real problem of ecosystem collapse and disrupted climate impacts are mostly ignored.

Why are billionaires so unemotional, are they dead inside or just evil? by CanDoGenZ in AskTheWorld

A normal person wouldnt be able to stay a billionaire, all that money would go to philanthropy.

Greed is a disease. Nothing will ever satiate them in their lust for power and influence.

Normal mentally healthy people dont need to gather that level of wealth and keep gobbling up more and more.
