On the other hand I am going to see Jimmy Carr live for like 30-40 euros.
I think that actually has a value, concerts I find to be meh, it’s the same music you listen to anyway just very expensive, worse quality and surrounded by sweat, alcohol and too many people.
I prefer going to a festival and then maybe there is a band like and maybe I discover some new ones.

Nah that’s bitcoin
The duty to vote in Belgium belongs to all adult Belgians. EU citizens can vote in European and municipal elections. Other foreigners have local voting rights when they have lived in the country for more than five years. Attendance is compulsory for Belgians in Belgium, not doing so results in a fine, 3 fines equals the loss of civil rights.
It can be done, but I was also part of an election oversight or whatever committee, we counted votes and stuff. One of the things we did was we took a vote urn to the local retirement home and well I witnessed what happened when voting is mandatory. In the past It was mandatory in our country as it was part of the eastern bloc and this man just took the first paper, not even reading which party he voted for and just put it in the envelope and voted that way.
So there are definitely downsides to trying to encourage voting too.
Because any sort of goodwill attempt to eliminate people from voting will just increase the chance of it being abused by said nazis, well fascists, because nazis were the fascists from germany.
Also fun fact, like many things IQ tests have a history rooted in racism, so if your plan was to use that then bad luck.
Fun fact number #2 the likes of Trump, Orbán (HUN), Fico (SVK) almost always win because of a low voter turnout.
The previous US election had what, 20 million more voters and surprise surprise, Trump lost.
Extremists are always a passionate vocal minority the more you restrict who can vote the easier time they have to take over the election.
If anything suggesting fines for not voting is a far less dumb idea than the shit you just said.
well that’s just reenacting the Civil War, the 2024 movie
Don’t worry my country just this last cycle reelected a wannabe Orbán fuck as PM and his crony won the presidency, I already live in a clown country, now the US has followed it, as a bonus I am of Hungarian descent so I can’t even “go home” because obviously I would just exchange Orbán light for Orbán.
I should go back to Czechia, already spent 9 years there, it’s just a better country.
As a European I thought there is no way Americans are stupid enough to reelect someone who openly supported overthrowing the government the past time.
Had I said it out loud I would have known trump would get reelected, because americans are that stupid.
Facts are that Hillary and Kamala lost against trump and Biden won.
Wonder what’s the biggest difference between them
There is only really Noel Deyzel from social media as a positive role model
But, Trump got less votes than in 2020 didjnt he? This theory doesn’t hold up, there wasnt some surprising mass turn put by the republicans democrats didn’t turn up to vote and there are two big reasosns for that, woman and poc.
Trump won because the DNC underestimated the sexists, racists and the idiot woke who think they somehow did something with this for palestine.
Editorial note:
i know woke is a poisoned word but I like to use to describe idiots who think they are so smart and better than others that they would rather let trump elected than admit that voting for the lesser evil is the right thing to do
Not only that, but they also contribute to climate change per capita way more than any other country and the climate don’t care about imaginary lines painted on maps
I think being a “her” and not being white took away more votes from her than anyone would like to admit.
Bruh, people are dying from lack of abortion access, thats already a cause of the first trump term. Excess deaths from mishandling covid by the trump administration is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands
At least now there is a good chance we will see some live-action adaptation of the 2024 Civil War movie
Could you be less of an accelerationist trope?
It’s no fantasy, you are just in denial.
This reminds me of the Heard v Depp case, on the two X chromosomes subreddit there was this long ass comment from someone who experienced abuse and said she wasn’t the “perfect victim” because she fought back and hurt her abuser back and how because of this it was harder to get away from her abuser.
And when I asked how does she know that in Heard v Depp case it isn’t Depp who is the imperfect victim? Because he had multiple partners testifying to his character of being a kind man etc, while Heard had the opposite (AFAIK).
All I got was silence and downvotes.
