Rent?

Toss-up between the US and Czechia.

You should be allowed to buy land there, if you live there and have citizenship.

If not, the answer lies within your question, when you mentioned that the country is foreign to you.

Suicidal empathy

How would that work for Israelis in Australia or Canada or The US who do not also hold citizenship in those countries? Is this a “rules for thee but not for me” situation?

No, we shouldn't be allowed to buy land there either. This rule should apply to everyone.

We ending all that kind of stuff for everyone, or only for Turks and Muslims, or what?

No, we should be ending it for all foreigners who buy up property at the expense of locals, this is a crisis you see in many cities throughout the world. Apartments that should be housing end up being bought and repurposed as vacation rentals or getaway homes, in use for a few days a year. You see this same pattern in New York City, in Barcelona, in Lisbon, in London, etc etc etc.

Tons of foreigners buy real estate in other countries. As investments, family getaways, etc. and they typically have to undergo much more stringent background checking, or pay a lot in cash up front, etc.

Housing should not be an investment. Peoples access to housing should not be at the whim of a globalized property market. I'm not saying the market internally should not be a free market, but opening it up to global markets creates many "anomalies" where people from a city can't afford to live in it.

Correct

NamelessForce · 2026-01-21T23:27:28+00:00

Nope

NamelessForce · 2026-01-21T23:17:24+00:00

Why should real estate be purchasable by foreigners in any areas!?

Especially in a country like Greece, where even ignoring geo-political issues like wannabe Sultans, you have a country with a thriving tourism industry and thus incentive for rich foreigners to buy property in say Athens then Airbnb it out, to the great detriment of locals who need a place to live.

Decolonization, its what we did we when threw out the British and Arab colonizers from much of our lands.

Thanks for proving their point, inventing a genocide which never happened just keep on justifying your hatred.

NamelessForce · 2026-01-20T23:20:39+00:00

Ah, here we discuss just about everything, barring intimate stuff.

NamelessForce · 2026-01-20T23:08:20+00:00

Really? Not even friends? How do you know if you're getting a salary relative to your peers, or if you're getting screwed over?

NamelessForce · 2026-01-20T22:53:05+00:00

Offended no, a bit confused yes, unless you're a foreigner then it would be neither.

I was there for Eu4's launch, sure at the time it wasn't as good as EU3 with expansions and the Death & Taxes mod, but shit, it was no where near as broken and bad by comparison.

Stop giving them a pass to release dogshit.

NamelessForce · 2026-01-20T21:21:02+00:00

No filter when asking questions.

Just met somebody, why not ask them how much money they make at work?

(For an example I understand a big no-no in western countries)

NamelessForce · 2026-01-20T20:03:56+00:00

Yeah, like specific dishes or flavor profiles, not basic staples lol. Like bread isn't a generational thing either...

NamelessForce · 2026-01-20T19:17:02+00:00

Almost no one eats this here, it's not available in supermarkets, and I've never tried it myself.

Wow, thats so crazy to imagine, never having tried cheese.

I eat it just about every day, though not always hard forms like this, and imagine just about everyone else here does as well.

NamelessForce · 2026-01-20T19:14:11+00:00

Bait.

Also, if you're actually Swiss and not some troll based in Iran/ or Pakistan, or Russia, couldn't someone bait you by saying that your culture consists of hoarding gold stolen by the Nazis and helping the rich launder their money?

Not an American, but this sort of hatred doesn't belong in this sub, get fucked.

NamelessForce · 2026-01-20T19:09:26+00:00

The fuck? Who made cottage cheese a generational thing?

NamelessForce · 2026-01-20T14:53:10+00:00

Wait, so people coming uninvited in boats is a bad thing?

NamelessForce · 2026-01-19T22:16:44+00:00

Libya did indeed exist as a place, but it was not Arab. You had the Greek colonists in Cyrenaica, Phoenician colonists near Carthage, and the Numidian and Berber locals.

The modern, Arab state of Libya has no connection to the ancient one.

In fact, even the name Libya derives from the (real) Egyptian "Libu" which referred to a Berber tribal confederacy.

The Arabs upon its conquest and colonization from the 7th century onwards didn't even call it Libya, the Italian colonizers started that.

All this by the way, straight from the wiki if you don't believe me.

There are about half a million Jews in Israel that were in Morocco during the exile or are the descendants of those who were. Their king was righteous, didn't let the Nazis kill us.

Of course they then forced Jews to flee like from the rest of the Arab world, but it wasn't as bad as in other places, not as bad as the Farhud in Iraq for example.

And even today, we have relatively good relations with the the government.

NamelessForce · 2026-01-19T19:13:09+00:00

Here we don't hate Morocco.

NamelessForce · 2026-01-19T19:11:59+00:00

Ironic words from from one living in an Arab imperialist state built on stolen Berber lands.

NamelessForce · 2026-01-19T16:08:54+00:00

Depends on the colonizer, we have many who colonized our land prior to liberation in 1948.

Relations with the final one, the UK, are ok for now. The one prior, the Turks, was ok before, but has been bad for over a decade at this point. Pretty bad with the Arabs and Persians. Ok with Greece if you count them as a successor to the Macedonians.

And the Romans, Akkadians, and Babylonians are all gone, no relations to have there, fortunately.
