My eyes are tired, billy

It's 6 am but is it really

Depends entirely on the far right political parties. They've surged up towards 20% lately.

Idk really the appeal, but no clue if it's a temporary situation.

Europe is dealing with an aging population, so 2nd generation immigrants are a blessing.

Like to be honest, even if the parents aren't that easily integrated into the work force, the real pearls are the children they bring with them.

It takes time, effort and resources to raise kids and plenty of 2 income couples have stopped having kids. We need people for the future.

RSF was just an example to show that such a ranking exists. Removing conflict of interest and the ability to censor will be what's needed in order to have real unguided public opinion.

That's difficult to achieve.

The major thing to think about are things like CP, obviously that needs to be removed from existence.

So there's positives to control, but nobody does anything for free.

Like here at Lemmy, I assume an instance creator of a popular instance will be able to be bought by companies or politicians.

Like Musk just bought twitter, lots of newspaper companies are owned by oligarchs. Other sources of news are owned by governments.

There's always a conflict of interest.

It's difficult to get away from.

With the market cap of their SOE's, they have a broader impact on their economy. Sure, china is the most socialist relevant country in the world as of now.

Censorship can be ranked like anything else can.

https://rsf.org/en/index like they are trying to do.

Sent you a message after clicking on your username on the post I got banned on, just to see if it reaches you.

I know Belgium isn't socialist, we're rather social democratic.

There's also market socialism which doesn't require public ownership, just that the workers own the company. Something like Huawei.

But the end result. We have a median net wealth of 250k euros per adult. I'm quite happy about that.

We have some nationalised stuff. Our commuting train company, post company, Bank and insurance, bus transport, télécommunications company. Infrabel.

The government plays a major role in our lives but they are still liberal.

They just tax and transfer. 45% of the GDP is tax revenue. Belgians are doing just fine.

Owning key industries is useful, like the french with their nuclear reactors. But you as employee it's better to have private options as well when it comes to employment.

Like in Cuba they have 1 employer. The government. Sure, the doctors get paid the most in the country, but still they flee to other Latin American countries so that they can fund their family in a luxurious housing unit in Havana.

This is because there's more competition to buy the doctors their services in those other Spanish speaking countries in the Americas.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike socialist economic stuff, if it's used properly.

I despise the censorship.

With the last ban, I messaged 3 people and none of them responded even though we were having quite some conversations in the thread. So I assume it doesn't reach. Lemme try again.

@Cowbee@lemme.ml so bruv, what were you saying? I got banned from that thread over there.

If counting Christianity then it will be a lot higher. I'm baptised and stuff like that, but that was just tradition. I never believed in a god.

Most European Turks vote for Erdogan.

They are the ones already owning the companies. It's not like the middle class had much of the ownership lol

"The bottom 90% of Americans own approximately 7% to 11% of all stocks. This highlights the significant concentration of stock ownership among the wealthiest individuals in the U.S. ."

Trump is hurting the rich. Which is hilarious because it's not like he has anyone else's interests in mind ahahaha

Oh yeah, his top buddy Putin

Something about not guiding public opinion or stuff like that

They are a minority that have opposing views. Just as any ideology, they have flaws and they just accept those flaws with open arms.

You could go there and say: china owns 80% of cobalt companies in Congo. You'd get banned.

Can say that china has far higher inequality than the EU. You'd get banned.

You could say that the Chinese government subsidising smartphone and electric vehicle market in china is trickle down economics. You'd get banned. (I get cheap high quality stuff because Chinese citizens their taxes pay for the profit margins of the Chinese shareholders.)

You'd get banned.

I honestly just wonder if they are economically illiterate morons, to be honest ☺️
