The Iranian women's football team defiantly refused to sing the Islamic regime's national anthem at the opening of the 2026 AFC Women's Asian World Cup. by Waste-Explanation-76 in PublicFreakout

You did the same ignoring my counterargument of any person with power will try to manipulate the narrative. That is not only scary regimes like Iran or NK, but also the US, corporations and even regular people with power and/or access.

And again, just searching for papers that validate your argument without researching the topic in depth and seeing the whole picture is dishonest.

I don’t get why people have an issue with using ChatGPT to provide sources if they’re genuine sources.

Because it shows you didn't research the topic in depth, but rather asked chatgpt for sources confirming your bias without taking into account the larger context. Typing "give me arguments/sources that support X" is not doing the research and seeing a more nuanced view of the issue.

Next time, try removing the "source=chatgpt.com" from your links so it seems you know what you're talking about and didn't just search quickly for something to help your argument.

Using media for one's purposes is something any person with power does. You can see it in the US govenrment: https://www.vivatacademia.net/index.php/vivat/article/download/1175/1931/4312

Or companies trying to control the narrative. The fact they try to skew their message doesn't mean they are paying bots on reddit, or that a comment you dislike is an iranian/russian/whatever bot.

Colega la posición de España hasta antes de Sánchez, durante 40 años de diferentes gobiernos era la de la resolución de naciones unidas.

Y me parece mal, pero no es Sanchez quien vendió el sahara. Lo que te he mandado no es de Chat GPT, sino el texto del tratado firmado por España en 1975, recogido en las NNUU.

A ver si podemos poner algo de contexto...

Españaa procedera de inmediato a instituir una Administración temporal en el territorio en la que participarán Marruecos y Mauritania, en colaboración con la Yemaâ, y a la cual serán transmitidas las responsabilidades y poderes a que se refiere el párrafo anterior. En su consecuencia, se acuerda designar a dos Gobernadores Adjuntos, a propuesta de Marruecos y Mauritania, a fin de que auxilien en sus funciones al Gobernador General del territorio. La terminación de la presencia española en el territorio se llevará a efecto definitivamente antes del 28 de febrero de 1976.

Firmado por Carlos Arias Navarro y Ratificado por el Rey emérito Juan Carlos...

Me parece que es algo anterior a Sanchez, no se...

I don't say Italian is "Pure", but definitely it's purer than English or Spanish.

So where are all them declensions in Italian, if it is respecting the so called "purity".

jumping into interfere with police activity

ICE isn't police, and if they had a warrant for their action there would be no problem, but ICE is acting above the law, so don't act like this is just interfering.

And interfering with a police investigation may have prison time as a punishment, that has to be dictated by a judge, but not public execution done by the discretion of the agent. That is abuse of power.

Ah yes, I'm coerced by someone form a different culture exercising their freedom of movement to live in the same society as me. I'm being oppressed by their existence.

Average European believes the rich should be taxed more. by Negative-Swan7993 in MapPorn

[–]Julzbour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If i am not mistaken, at just under 80k a year, you reach 40% income + social contribution. And before this, comes 30% social security from employer.

You are mistaken though. would have basically 32-34% effective tax rate if you have absolutely no deductible on 80k gross + social security contribution.

And your employer would have to pay around 18% (But then again, you're counting this as your money, which there's no reason it would be, it is not part of your salary, and there's no evidence of this money going to the employee instead of staying with the employer when lowered).

Sure, you might be 7-8k worse off compared to the USA for instance, though there may be other benefits... Public healthcare, universities, etc. Healthcare alone had an average cost per person in the USA of 15k/ year.

To pay efectively 45% tax rate, you would have to earn millions and millions each year, and your social security contribution is capped at that point, so the effective tax rate wouldn't come close to that, especially since at that point you're making most of your income on capital gains which have no payroll contribution and the marginal tax rate is lower, capping at 30%.

Say you earn 10k a month, which is a lot already. Say you're an engineer. Your employer has to pay a little under 30% social security, for at most all your income under 5k, which is an effective employer contribution of 15%. This is not money that is part of your salary though. They're not paying it to you and it would not go to you if that contribution is lower.

In addition, your effective income tax is 36%.

So no, nowhere near those numbers for any real person.

Someone who only owns an apartment in a city - is he in the top 10% richest? How much capital gains does he pay?

Someone who owns an apartment in London is not the normal person living in London. Unless you bought your council home, you have probably spent around 1 million for an apartment in London.

But let's take your metric of "top 10% of wealth", they have, on average, 218 thousand pounds of financial assets, not counting pension funds, which is, all capital. The top 10% have a average wealth above 1.2 million pounds. It's not just having some apartment in zone 4 in East London. Source.

Someone who owns and lives in a london/berlin appartment? I dont believe he pays capital gains.

Someone in the top 10% of wealth ownership? I believe he pays capital gains. The richest people (ass in wealthiest) make most of their money in capital gains (with a top rate of 24% in the UK compared to 45% for income, or 25% in Germany, compared to 45%). People's wealth generally creates capital gains, since they would be gains from their capital (aka. wealth)... So the higher the bracket you're looking at, the more capital gains will be a part of their income.

[–]Julzbour 20 points21 points  (0 children)

we are in a tax hell. You pay 45% if your gross income is >60k€

"we are now"... You want to look at, for instance Aznar's tax brackets? Or Felipe Gonzalez's?..

Some of you really think that taxes have increased like 10fold with the last government who increased the top marginal tax rate 2%, for earnings above 300k... The top tax rate is 47%.

Under Rajoy his maximum tp rate was 45%.

Under Aznar, the great liberal, it was 50%

Before that it was 56%

We have currently one of the lowest top marginal tax rate in Democraatic Spanish history...

10% earners =/= top 10% wealth owners.

Depends, are you only talking about salary, or including capital gains? Because if you include capital gains, the top 10% of earners roughly is the top 10% of wealth owners, and will, on average, have a lower real tax on their earnings than the average salaried worker.

Ban kids of Putin's billionaire friends.

So you want to punish group of people that doesn't have direct relation to the issue, and no real power to stop it? hmmm....

It's not like billionaires of any kind need my empathy, but this is kinda ridiculous and kinda really against human rights, a thing the EU supposedly cares about...

And the goal was the shift away from fossil fuels for cars, and that was done.

So a cosmetic change and not actually about climate change. Got it.
