Hi Margot, just wanted you to know that you're always in my "hot" sort. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?

Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?

I see, thnx for the clarification. It seemed like you were indeed supporting said practise.

You still don’t explain why it’s, in your opinion, necessary to remove voting rights.

You put that it they shouldn’t remove those for small infractions, but that the administration can’t decide on a line where voting restrictions should be put, and therefore just blanket bans every from from voting.

Also it’s somehow ok that after people have finished their punishment, they should be punished some more by stripping them off even more rights.

All of that greatly reduces chances of rehabilitation and keeps criminals in the criminal sector. I fail to see why even minor infractions should lead to lifelong consequences.

Overpriced? Really? I thought the whole point was it being fast and cheap. So that only leaves convenience as an argument to go there…

By the mental gymnastics they have applied to make Stalins brand of communism into their ideal they have actually learned to embrace authoritarianism.

They think that the only way that communism can be manifested is by first destroying the western capitalist society and they think Putin and Xi will help in this endeavor.

It’s quite delusional (as both are openly embracing capitalism) and quite the opposite of how Marx thought communism would take place, but that’s what they seem to think.

I like Douglas Hofstadter’s concept of the soul as a self referential mechanism. His book: ‘I am a strange loop’ expands on this, which is a bit more spiritual (for lack of a better word) expansion of his ideas in Gödel, Escher Bach.

It also explains how your own loop incorporates and curates the memories of the people you love and how you’re able to live, and see though their ‘eyes’ after they have died.

So the soul of others finds an explanation in yourself, and allows you to live in in other people’s minds, without any super natural constructs.

They tend to get crushed by larger powers

‘It works untill it doesn’t’ isn’t the best argument for the quality of a system.

Tolstoy’s work is all in public domain. Anna Karenina and War and Peace are great. Not the easiest to read, but unparalleled.

Dit soort dingen is precies waarom een begeleid levenseinde extreem belangrijk is. Als dat gebeurt via een traject waarbij wordt vastgesteld dat er echt sprake is van een uitzichtloze situatie en niet een opwelling.

Mensen die zo doortastend en wanhopig zijn om deze route te kiezen moeten ook in medische/psychische wijze worden bijgestaan.

Ooit had je mensen zitten bij de ns die wisten wat er gaande was bij de buitenlandse vervoerders omdat dat specifiek hun vak was. Die zijn weg bezuinigd voor automatische systemen, die niet, met elkaar kunnen communiceren.

Goed artikel. Voor ieder die in dit draadje beland goed om even door te lezen.

Toen ik het programma voor het eerst zag staan dacht ik dat de titel iets infantiels beduidde, en daarom noit overwogen het te kijken. Echter het is een zeer goed gemaakt satirisch programma met ook de nodige maatschappelijke kritiek, erg de moeite waard imho

Wederom een instantie ‘onnodige aanhalingstekens’ zoals geagendeerd door Jos van Plakshot:

Erg bijzonder dat de toezichthoudende instantie niet eens de mogelijkheid van vastgoed speculatie had bevroed..
