Now if only the people of the country would stop trying to prevent others from moving there to achieve the exact same goals and wishes the current population also wants
but then I took another look at the current state of the UK and what the US, despite it's flaws, is still like and thought better of it...
Don't you think that the sorry state of UK may be caused by the type of massive immigration to uk, that the US people don't want?

Someone once told me I had to try Italian soda, so I did, and it was just soda
No it isn't. Italian Cola is more citrusy, less carbonated and slightly less sweet. I think they use more ppm from the flavor essence. It is also available in 500ml cans which is the right amount and packaging.

When the old squad doesn't have that fresh squad smell and you need a new squad. In a way I wish Mamdani and his wing of the party good luck. The reactions of the purple blob are quite entertaining.
Everybody feels betrayed by the establishment right now. Not undeservingly. So it is not surprising that antiestablishment sentiments are thriving, especially in the places where the pie not only stopped growing, but is actively shrinking.
Fair point. Rewrote to something hopefully more appropriate.
The gist of it is that right now, the ECHR considers (dubiously, but so it is) refoulment to be akin torture.
Edit: Rewrote the post. Original version was too inflammatory.
Then Sweden should start influencing the court and the judges with what they have at their disposal. USA is already doing some stuff to Nicolas Guillou. If enough EU countries get fed up with ECHR and start putting serious pressure on the institution and staff eventually they will become more reasonable. At some point some pan European institutions will have to be subverted to be dealt with Europe problems. The pan European bodies are most at fault for them anyway.

Not all immigrants are created equal. Class, culture, race, ethnicity and religion matter a whole lot.

I would change how deportations works then. It is not a country's job to care where people go or aid them. You order them out. If they stay after the deadline you remove protection of the law from them. Compliance is their problem, not yours.

So they get drone industry too. Everyone wins. With modern warfare humans are optional.

But remigration isn't a solution. First, because I can't imagine how to do it remotely ethically. Comparing anything right-wing to Nazism is an overused cliche, but it fits here: AFAIK Nazis initially planned to just deport the Jews somewhere (Madagascar), but ended up brutally overworking and exterminating them, because their end goal was to get rid of them and that was easiest. How would you get rid of immigrants if Somalia etc. won't accept them? What if it's too expensive? What if it's dangerous for them? What about women and children?
Fairly easy. You do naval blockade on Somalia until they accept them. Their welfare is none of our concern. You arrest Somali politicians. If needed military strikes. You change the constitution that only Swedes have human rights in Sweden. You go with the least amount of cruelty to achieve your goal, but you shouldn't let the cruelty itself distract you.

One thing I always liked about the TV game show Forged in Fire
On the day I am pondering whether to obtain 1x30 variable speed for thinning and bevel setting, you had to mention this show ...

Alton Brown has kinda rebooted good eats on his youtube channel. Slightly less family friendly, due to the lower budget the wackiness is toned down, he seems to assume that unlike 1999 everyone has at least a bit of general food science knowledge - so it is a fine mix between old and new.

There was a moment in biathlon when some competitors that came from nordic skiing that couldn't shoot for their life just powered trough the penalties and didn't even bother to aim before shooting because they were absurdly faster than the regular players. Probably interesting to observe once or twice, but definitely has potential to degrade the sport.
A good time penalty in swimming in theory is one that gives slightly higher time penalty than the advantage gained. Higher than that - and it is DQ by other means. But then you will have some different types of gaming the system.
Btw - strongly recommend ActuallyVen on youtube for his F1 cheating sketches.

About the censorship. When it comes to massacres it barely even qualifies as one. So no reason to be ashamed or somehting.

That is not even terrible. If it gets even remotely implemented - it is the end of Pax Americana. I mean that pax americana was closing is clear but that will hasten it. Any deal that leaves any uranium or nuclear facilities in Iran is abject failure. Everything else could be negotiable.
The 300 billion fund is a trap for Iran and the regime. They may get the investment, but not ownership. That will be a great way to funnel some outside perspective and will globohomo them in no time.
I think that USA should have pushed to the end even if it meant massive civilian casualties. It is better to be empire of evil than no empire at all.

Why Tianamen is such a big deal for China? I have read almost everything there is about it - and it is just meh. Compared to Prague Spring or the Hungarian events, it was peanuts. Especially on China's scale.

The privileged Belarusian subsistence farmer peasants. At least they didn't have to pay for the train tickets.

Well Ukraine is worth at least a couple of trillion dollars and spacex is one of the main reason it exists as a country today.

Designing a working country is engineering, not philosophy. What is important for the policies is to work, not be coherent, make sense or be derived from deep ideological principles.
If a blue collar worker pays effective tax rate of x percent, then it is ok to make the upper echelons of society pay at least x.
Any deal that is good for Trump will be bad for Israel. Lets see best case for Trump (and the USA) now that regime change is off the table.
USA gets the enriched Uranium and reintegrate Iran in the world economy. No regime change in Iran. Iran retains the right to harass Israel with conventional means. This will be actually a win for him. And he can move to cuba - a geopolitical two and half fecta before the midterms could avert the coming disaster.
And with riches from trade flow even if not western, at least hedonistic values - so the regime in Iran will eventually soften from inside.
Iran and USA have common ground if USA is willing to throw Israel partially under the bus.

Yes, but it wasn't principled. It was to get cheap shot at openai and lure the antitrump SV to use Claude when Codex started seriously catching up with them.
And can you guess by the color of their skin and their religion which are the most unproductive lower classes and most pandered to?
Also mass migration is policy that is top down, which throws the argument about pandering a bit off. And especially the white working class in UK has been fucked over and not pandered to in the last 60 years or so.
