  • You can have an income- and wealth-dependent fine.

    It could be as a % of your total income (bonus included) + wealth (including stocks, full ownership chain included).

    1.5% of income, 5% of wealth in bank account, 10% of stock value. If any of these three exceeds 300x the median of the lowest 10%'s salary (let’s say that that’s 10k), then it’s 80% for all three. That would hit the ultra-wealthy more and so it’d be fairer.


    For a poor person earning less than €10,000 a year and having €1,000 in bank and no stocks, that’d be €200.

    For someone earning €40,000 a year, having €80,000 in bank and €10,000 in stocks, that’d be €5,600.

    For a billionnaire who has 1 billion, let’s say €2,000,000 per year as “income”, €100,000,000 in “bank account”, and the rest of 1 billion in stocks. Then they’d be paying € 801.6 million.






  • Sure, people can like what they want. Though I don’t think we should encourage inaction against the far right. Unfortunately, I’ve seen a few, but indeed very few. Personally I feel divided on tankies, but in my perspective, the greater foe is the fascist. That said: AAAB (All Authoritarians Are Bastards), and if we can combat both effectively, then great!

    But also, to put it as a metaphor. If I had to pick my battles – and had three bullets, and there were a fascist and a tankie in the room with me, I’d shoot the fascist immediately, and keep two to safeguard against tankies - so that if I shot, I still have a credible threat afterward.

    A tankie is an ally against a fascist, and can turn into a fiend - so let us make sure that they have to stay our friend. And while they are our friend, then let us treat them with at least kindness. They don’t need to like us and we don’t need to like them; but we need to band together against the storm.


  • Why don’t we discourage using X for all European citizens?

    For the far-right users that still frequent it, we can just set up an alternative closed corner that is more moderate, populated by bots, and then have them go there, then cut off X altogether.

    Then the algorithms will make them go more moderate.

    And also,

    Needs more zeros. Make it a €100 billion fine. If Twitter can’t pay it, then Musk must pay it from his own personal wealth. Corruption poisons society, and society needs to purge corruption!
