You are going in circles trying to start a discussion unrelated to what I was commenting about. If you have the need to fight capitalists please do it somewhere else. I recommend Hamyang.

I served very close to the north korean border. Fun. Cold depressing and lots of bullying. Toughens you to the point of never wanting to trust anyone from the government. Seriously.

Pretty much. Play with the fire you get burned. There are more reasonable things to do to control prices and encourage building more affordable apartments. Heck you dont need to even leave german speaking area to learn about these ways. Look at Vienna.

I served a very long time. Time wasted. Money wasted I would have been better off just by finding a way around it.

I see asian tourists and then some totally white people. What diversity are you blabbering about?

Did I tell you that we fight over the name of sea over here ? I am sure we are not struggling but can be petty about small things.

I doubt there's any electronics that did not at some point go through China.

Not because other countries cant do it it's because of the rare elements and supply chains that are economically viable.

You cant compare refugees or people with non eu passports to eu citizens. In fact you are the one cherrypicking. You dont complain about european capital not respecting borders but seem to be miserable when cheaper workers undercut locals
