You saying they joined before a administration did war crimes? So they joined before July 4, 1776?

Trump is worse, yeah of course. But there is no living USA president that shouldn't be send to den hauge

    No I'm telling you they were designing for the car after the second world war. Just like in north America(North America cities started a bit earlier). Most north America cities were also not build for cars, but bulldozed for the car.

    Amsterdam for example also had plans to build a highway into the city (lucky the lack of money and opposition stoped it) and bulldozed some streets already for heavy car design. The rest of the city streets where full of cars and parking.

    Here is what the Damrak looked like

    But after the stop de kindermoorden (child murder) protest(and many more) it slowly started changing. Now everytime a street is renewed it is to today's standards including people focused design.

    Also keep in mind the old city of most European cities is pretty small. The argument "BuT tHe cIty Is olD" only works for maybe 20% of a city the rest is build after the 1900 or for sure not medieval.

    And this is also not just a big city thing. Every city, Town or Village(and also outside it) has the same rules for street design. Amsterdam for example really sucks te ride a bike I think. There are many better cities in the Netherlands.

    But you can also look like a city like Rotterdam, a city designed for the car in the Netherlands. It's not great but it still has room for bikes and public transport. And some projects to make the city more people friendly.

    We can just change the design of existing cities.

    Heck the Netherlands was designing for cars until massive protest (violent and non violent). It then started to change existing infrastructure for a more people focused design.

    A oil crisis helped of course

    I know and was a poor person('s) with a car. Keep in mind me car cost me about €600 a year including tax, insurance and fixing it(somethins I do myself or with friends) now. And I'm not considered social minimum anymore.

    So owning a car is expensive(€600 a year is a lot of money), but I doesn't mean poor people don't have them.

    Higher fuel prices suck, we can me the decision to not eat at a restaurant anymore once a month, but some people can't. But lowering the taxes for everybody is just stupid.

    I hate that I need to own a car. Or anybody for that matter. I live in a village of 6000, no train and a bus one-time a hour (in rush hours 2 times a hour). I can't make it home when my work ends at 22 and can't make it to work when I need to start at 8.

    The only solution in my eyes would be cheap or free(it's is still cheaper in gasoline to take the car then the bus) public transport and more. There are a lot of village's and cities where you are very limited in public transport. So just cheaper train tickets not gonna help a lot of people not near a train stations. We need to invest in public transport (and I do prefer public owned and not for profit in any way)

    We and many friends really loved the cheaper ticket for the train this summer. (Bit annoying it didn't include bus, metro and tram) For some €50 a month was still a lot of money. But we all enjoyed it. Seeing friends and family. So yeah cheap train tickets helps a bit, but especially for work related or medical appointment isn't practically perfect)

    Je zou er ook voor kunnen kiezen om voor 1 miljard 3 maanden lang het ov gratis te maken. (In 2025 koste het +- 4 miljard voor een jaar)

    Heeft iedereen profijt van, mensen kunnen gratis reizen. Mocht je toch met de auto moeten dan is de bezine en diesel ook goedkoper. De vraag gaat waarschijnlijk een stuk na beneden, dus zouden de prijzen moeten zaken.

    Waren al wat tips gegeven, maar je hebt ook nog het manifest dat is wel vrij ml en het blad van de ncpn. (Zowel online als fysiek)

    Verder kan je nog na het blad van de sp kijken. Wel erg politiek gericht. Dan heb je de tribune en spanning. Zie zo even niet waar je die online kan lezen.

    Weet niet zeker of dit voor jou vrijzinnige genoeg is

    You can say fuck Biden, or fuck trump, and you won't get sent to gulag for it (yet).

    Until 2020 you could get up to 5 years of prison in the Netherlands (same for our head of state). Now you can still can get up to 6 months. Or a nice visit by the police. (Friend said some not nice things on Instagram about Netanyahu. Just that he is a fascist and asshole(and he is). They spend a night in jail.)

    Is it as bad as a gulag? Probably not. But in Theory I can now go to prison. So no living in a capitalist country doesn't mean I can say whatever I want about people. Including trump or Biden
