Destroying peoples property is not the answer. Declining sales figures is.

Let's be honest, it is efficient! /s

Reminds me of the joy when watching interviews with people on the British/Irish border, when they learned they now have to buy their groceries 30 mins further than they were used to. They also said: "we didn't vote for this". What do people expect to happen when they vote for something?

I agree with your first two sentences, but not with your last one. You have to take into consideration that many people are in different situations. If you have trouble making ends meet, if you need your job to feed your family, you might not be inclined to risk your job to protest. What I'm trying to say is, not all people that don't protest are Nazis. Stating they are creates another layer of polarization that isn't bringing us anywhere near a solution. And yes: Us. even though I'm not a US citizen, it unfortunately affects the world.

To me, it's more about the goal he was trying to achieve. He clearly did it to taunt and insult. In that context, I can see how this should be a punishable offense (not death though).

It would be a similar thing if you had learned that the prime minister of Sweden likes to create art at home. Then buying one of his art pieces and burn it in front of his house. Sure, burning art is not a punishable offense, but the goal of intimidating someone with such a symbol could/should be.

In some way, it also symbolizes what he is doing to the country. His plane is just a bit bigger.

A while ago, I was charging at a highway stop, so I decided to quickly get something to drink at McDonald's. I just asked ordered a drink, nothing more. One lady started preparing the drink and put it somewhere behind the counter. I was right there, but she didn't hand it to me. I asked if she could give it, as it was the only thing I had ordered. She mentioned she was not allowed to hand over the order to customers, and she was waiting for someone else who was allowed to. It took roughly 10 minutes before I had my drink, it was very frustrating, especially for a "fast" food chain.

Okay, so you're actively risking yours and other peoples lives to have this meaningless discussion? That makes David dumb? You then acknowledge how dumb driving and texting is yourself?

It doesn't read like you are the brightest bulb on my screen either.

I know you're joking, but I still struggle to see how that makes things better? We have evidence that the Romans also committed genocide.

And so it begins, this might be the start of the digital war. Let's hope they won't make it into a physical one.

Of all the things crypto would bring us, I would never have imagined it would create transparency and democratization in corruption. What a time to be alive!

It's larger than I would like it to be, sure. But claiming a country is fascist based on 25% is just wrong. You would be right if it were the majority. Besides, if you look at the details you'll see that many people used the far right as a protest vote (which I despise, but not the point). I doubt and perhaps hope those people aren't actually fascist.
