  • The wonderful problems politicians have to deal with. It’s like a kindergarten: “Whuaaa the other kids are cheating”.
    I’m not saying it’s not justified, but god there are a lot of “stupid” little issues politicians have to figure out.

    Personally I think lowering prices on petrol and diesel is stupid, we have taxes on that shit for good reasons, and those reasons haven’t changed. The reasons being lowering dependency on oil, which this situation is a stellar example of why we do.
    And another reason is to limit pollution/CO2 which we still need to do.

    Lowering prices on oil products is contrary to our common interests, what people and industries need to do now, is to figure out ways to reduce oil consumption more.
    People complaining about fuel prices are embarrassing IMO.









  • And so you too are downvoted for writing the truth.
    Of course it’s not everybody, but there’s a lot of it. I can’t even say the example with Iranian terrorists is hyperbole, because although most would obviously not support terrorists, I have seen things quite similar to it occur here.
    An example could be the case where Iran would bomb a 100% civilian data center was generally celebrated here. Not that I was one bit better, because honestly I don’t think that data center has any value to the people. But in principle it remains wrong, but on the other hand USA deserves to be taught a lesson.
    Clearly there’s a difference between an opinion and facts. And although my opinion may not always align with higher ideals, because you may need to break some eggs to make an omelet, but our opinions should at least be based on the truth. And the truth is it was NOT UAE that tortured and killed a journalist, it was Saudi Arabia, and nobody should be downvoted for posting facts IMO.
