without even changing the ECU

Wow that’s impressive, and it’s also a very nice car to drive I imagine from what I’ve heard.

One place you claim to be an anarchist, and another you promote Socialism. So no I don’t really think we have much to talk about.
Because neither of those work, and the two are decidedly opposed. You are too far gone IMO.

And where did I ask that? I wrote: “When half of Europe had socialist leaders, that half of Europe was total shit authoritarian countries that oppressed the population, and prevented progress.”

And that’s what you responded to.
I think you are confused and lost. Not just “here” but about politics in general.

so you’re resorting to wasting my time.

Nope you were. IDK where “here” is, only you know that. And it takes only a second to make a link. Also you wanted to make a point, but failing to provide the link you also failed to make your point.
I don’t really give a shit about your point, and apparently you don’t either.

Those buyers, he said, are being pushed into the used market.

Haha yes that’s what we did too, we could buy a new car for the same we paid for a 4 year old car. But we wanted to be able to pull a trailer, and we wanted a better than minimum battery, and the luxury of the bigger car is of course nice too. 😋
We got the VW ID.4 a CUV which means it’s built like a real car, not some pickup truck construction that avoids regulation, that American SUV’s often are.

The CUV is an amazing drive with perfect handling, an SUV is not.

The one where you write I can read it here.

Your link doesn’t work.

Even (former) US allies can see where the tide is moving, and it’s clearly away from USA, and towards China.
The Iran war already accelerated that process when USA attacked Iran for no reason, and it was accelerated even more within a few days when it became clear that USA was losing. Now it turns out that it only takes a week or two for USA to exhaust their arsenal of power, and the respect for the US military might is at an all time low.

1. USA military might is no longer respected nearly as much as it used to.
2. US political power is diminished by USA alienating allies and even threatening invasion of an allied country!
3. US economic power is declining because of Trump policies.
4. The war with Iran will probably bring an end to the petro dollar.
5. The combination of declining economy and the end of the petro dollar will accelerate the decline of the USD as a global reserve currency. Which will lead to further decline in the US economy.
6. The above points will all decrease the soft power USA has enjoyed, from a combination of military power, economy and allies.

Hopefully the free world will gather around EU instead, and EU and China will work within international law, and establish relations that will create progress on both sides, while USA becomes a lot like what UK is today, after also being a global empire.

Putin is finished, he is a walking dead together with the Russian Empire he wanted to create.
But we need to support Ukraine more, so this stupid war isn’t prolonged more than necessary. When the war is over both Ukraine and EU will prosper.

That’s the consequence of Brexit, I wonder why it took so long?
UK is no longer part of EU, so EU citizenship doesn’t work in UK, Just like a UK citizenship no longer works in EU.

Hurray for Brexit, so much better for everybody. Less freedom and economic harm on both sides. 🤡

My guess is Orban was corrupt from the beginning, but he was hiding it, because that’s what you do.
Of course Hungarians need to be vigilant and take note if Péter is just a repeat, but my guess is that he will quickly normalize relations with EU, and to do that he needs to reestablish democratic values.
I guess we at least agree that Orban is bad both for Hungary and Europe, and hopefully Péter will be a lot better for Hungary first, and for that good relations with EU are important too.
EU is all about mutual benefits, if Hungary think it’s better to stand with Russia,they are actually free to do that, but then they should not be member of EU.

Netanyahu is a wanted criminal for war crimes!!

He absolutely is, and I doubt the Russians are aware how much harm he did even before the war.

Ditto.

if you know where does he come from.

I know he comes from Orbans party, but I also know that Orban wasn’t thought to be corrupt in the beginning.
So it seems to me to show character for Péter Magyar that he no longer could stand by Orbam destroying Hungary.
Hungary must I assume have been pro EU to seek membership, and work for years to meet the requirements.
So it seems to me it is Orban that changed, while Péter Magyar maintained his democratic anti corruption values.

no, obviously I’m entirely unaware

You hadn’t yet stated “here” is Hungary, so your sarcasm is misplaced.
Your “easy thought” is very likely emphasized by propaganda, it’s a typical Putin strategy to make an election seem futile to the opposition. And this is right up that alley.
If you had the thought yourself, you might not have noticed it as propaganda, because of confirmation bias.

A lot of analysts talk about a social contract between the corrupt Putin leadership and common people. That as long as the corrupt regime provides prosperity, the people is OK with not meddling in politics.

The same analysts say that Putin has broken that contract with this war, and Russia has had successful revolutions at least 2 times before, turning over the Tzar and later turning over the communist regime. So the people are not unfamiliar with revolutions.

Wow thanks, I didn’t remember that.
I just calculated the average to 870, so it’s definitely a lot above average.
My calculation is 4 years and 1½ month = 1505 days with 1310110 casualties = 870 casualties per day. Not exact but should be close enough with an error margin of 2 or 3 at most.

It’s a childish fantasy that is completely unrealistic, consensus even among a thousand people is impossible and unrealistic.
The only consensus possible is the one that the 1 party communist countries in Europe had before Communism disappeared.
That 1 party system was of course in reality an authoritarian dictatorship. And those that disagree are put in prison. That’s how you create “consensus”.

we can do socialism using a bottom-up, direct democratic, consensus based decision making approach,

OK and what if that approach doesn’t lead to socialism? What you are describing is a change to how democracy works, why would that automatically lead to socialism, and be better than what we have in Scandinavian countries? And exactly what kind of socialism would it lead to?

You are talking like a Russian agent trying to sow discourse. What you suggest has no evidence of working. Social democracy does.

Also a consensus among just a few thousand people is impossible, Denmark that is one of the best democracies in the world, and we have 12 parties represented in parliament. How would you run a country based on a principle that wouldn’t even work for a small city?

It is when at the same time capitalism is demonized with comments like this:

Capitalism cannot be reformed

Much of Europe is social democratic, and that actually works very well by regulating capitalism to prevent exploitation.
