@JMCDelingpole Best idea: live in a place from which you don't need to leave for vacation.

"I for one welcome our new insect overlords"
Polly St. George@FringeViews
This might be a good thing in the end. A major ill of our current society, imo, is that families are broken apart . Everyone chasing their alleged 'best lives' in far off places. If it costs a bomb to travel or holidays, emergencies, etc ppl might choose to stay closer.

@ObtainerOf It would feel better if dissociated from property itself. These could be fees, charged to the person living at an address. Owner or tenant. A service fee. Unrelated to property.

I’m not a lolbertarian, it’s probably the most well used tax, I know it is our best way of getting something from the boomers, but it still hurts my heart

On the one hand I agree with this on the other hand it is such a grave injustice that they throw you out of the house you own with guns if you don’t pay this
Cabot Montana@AmanitaFugax
I simply don’t give a fuck about someone needing to pay $400/month on their paid off home to maintain the roads, emergency services, schools, and critical infrastructure around their property.

@thecoastguy Much like unmeritocratic society. Tall daisy gets the chop.

A small thing but it amazes me that dandelions and daisies learn to grow too low for lawnmowers.

@Tommy_J_7 @milosma61260957 @Civixplorer Western Orbit? They refuse to understand that Croatia is, and always way, facing West. Rome specifically, then Vienna, and Budapest. It is back to where it always was.
English
@milosma61260957 @Civixplorer Why do Serbs literally never miss a chance to come out with the dumbest possible take whenever Croatia gets mentioned!? Mind your own damn business ffs.

Interesting fact:
These seven destinations account for over 30% of global tourist arrivals, according to Euromonitor.

The English patron saint is an ethnic Greek from modern Turkey but the Finnish patron saint - St Henry of Uppsala - is an ENGLISHMAN who was made Sweden's archbishop. And he was murdered by a Finn called Lalli. You couldn't make it up!

@IstrianMario @CroatiaWeek This is bound to happen in all decent countries with diaspora. Croatia for sure, maybe even Greece. It actually must happen.
English
@CroatiaWeek Nije U Soldima Sve, Croatia has everything but money. But people are returning in mass quantities because it’s our heart. Better to live as a neighbor and family than a stranger in a strange land. The advantages of moving away are not like years ago.

@mjfree The asshole era is finished. Bye bye fascist dictators!

@TKajzer Demographics can turn around on a dime. The obvious problem is the debt levels socialists created. They need people to pay the debt.

@_CatholicWest Ironically, they don't like works, only faith. Yet they have this so-called work ethic.
Simpler take is....Catholics drank and danced and sang more, and had a better time overall. Why work your ass off?
English
Calvin adopted predestination, then hit a wall: how do you spot the elect? Answer: the grind. The hustle. The Protestant Work Ethic. You must labor to show your redemption. And more than that, wealth means you're really redeemed
A great unvirtuous idea. Toss it in the bin.🗑️

NATO has been ripping off the U.S. for a while now. They are a relic of the past. If they aren’t holding up their end of the deal we should leave.
Department of State@StateDept
PRESS SEC: It’s quite sad that NATO turned their backs on the American people over the last six weeks when it’s the American people who have been funding their defense. President Trump looks forward to having a very frank and candid conversation with Secretary Rutte.

Canada joining the EU would be one of the most monumental fuck-ups ever.

Donald Trump has demanded that America's Nato allies send warships to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz within days or risk permanent harm to the alliance, saying words are no longer enough. dailysceptic.org/2026/04/09/tru…

@colinsmo Yeah. We try not to do evil, you little shite. Catholic soldiers can not fight unjust wars.
English
Question for Roman Catholics:
Should Roman Catholic soldiers obey the lawful military orders of President Trump even if the Pope doesn't believe the war is just?
Now you can see why America didn't have a Roman Catholic president for almost 200 years.
English
@ClarkeMicah Wow. For such an articulate man, to know so little about your favorite pet peeve , the Catholic Church. Drop the Roman, that is just one flavour of it. Get over it. The Catholics are right about....everything. The protestants are imploding.
English
OK, it's an unserious comment. But I strongly suspect that, within a century, the RC church will have fully conceded on married clergy (the freedom to do so, not an obligation) and on the ordination of women. And it will have been right to do so, greatly strengthening itself against the secular world. .@markmacdonald75
MarkMacd@MarkMacdonald75
@ClarkeMicah @tomscrace “Startling piffle” that the whole church held to until essentially yesterday? That’s not a serious comment.

Daily reminder that the House of Hapsburg had no legal right to abolish the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, which means that by process of elimination the only country to never renounce its membership, Liechtenstein, could assemble the seven Electors, crown a new Holy Roman Emperor, and lay claim to the entirety of the Holy Roman Empire's territory.

We'll be joining the fallen EU and his NetZero disaster...

Nothing destroys faith in Canadian democracy faster than these floor-crossings.
Opposition MPs joining the Liberals after 10+ years of Charter-trampling rule and non-stop corruption? Pure rot.
This isn’t democracy — it’s a complete betrayal of voters. Disgusting.
mistersunshinebaby@mrsunshinebaby
🚨 BREAKING: CPC MP Marilyn Gladue just CROSSED THE FLOOR to the Liberal Party. Mark Carney is now one-seat shy of a majority government.

@TomlinsonCJ @ReginaWatteel It died with the snipers and paramilitary nameless robocops during the Convoy.

@ReginaWatteel If you had faith in Canadian democracy after COVID, you're naive.

@BjorkBrodern Europe should do the same. It's reality. The Ameros cooked this up as usual. Buy the energy and produce products. It works.
English
Is this a joke? The low energy prices in Hungary is completely dependent on Russian gas (they import 80% of their natural gas from Russia) and Nuclear power (they import 100% of their nuclear fuel from Russia). Something Trump have criticised the rest of Europe for.
