The way that you be competitive in an industry that doesn't generate profit is to remain out of that industry.

You don't know Rutte.

This is the guy who blew up his last Dutch government so he could go work at NATO.

His sense of responsibility is....different...than others'.

Men are in trouble?

Have men tried treating other humans like they are 100% humans?

Everyone that's not putting the interests of labourers first should be removed from the Labour Party.

The priests of Capitalism never cease making poor decisions because they believe their God always provides the best possible outcome.

Toxicity *is* the brand.

Once you understand that plain everyday-regular people can be bad, things become much easier to understand.

It's not pathology, it's morality. Some people choose the ways of harm, hate, and destruction because *they like it*.

Right wingers are always trying to weaponize the language of the Left.

Understand that the words, when used by them, *never* means the same as well used by the Left.

Only the poors, tho. The wealthy will always have good care.

I dunno, I suspect that Labour's really pandering to the people who want to privatize HC and that they're using racism as the tool to get it to happen.

So much of it is the sub-textural message from the "leaders" to the "people."

The message of, "Learning to accept differences in humans is not acceptable behavior. Conform. Conform. Conform."

And the "people" love to hear it: it means they don't have to grow.

Yeah, sounded something like, "Are you gonna go, Mayor?" or something like that...

They really want to create an "eat the rich" scenario, don't they?

Nothing like increasing a person's poverty to help them integrate!
November 17, 2025 at 10:02 AM
Yep, integration only occurs when a society accepts differences.

No matter how hard a individual tries, they can never integrate into a society that has decided that they can't integrate because "integration" requires a non-changeable aspect of theirs to change (like genetics).

But interviewing someone of 'lesser' status in English would cause an outrage among so many people.

It's because the individual cannot integrate when a society does not allow them.

The *society* decides who is integrated.

And the rules aren't the same for everyone.

I was responding to the unsaid part of society's expectations.

It looks like hypocrisy-how this guy is treated compared to a 'average' immigrant is treated-but it is really just an example of what the *real* concept of integration means.

It's why interviewing this guy in English is acceptable.
November 16, 2025 at 6:47 PM
The guy's completely integrated.

Integration isn't about the individual's behavior, it's about the group's thoughts about the individual.

Those the Dutch have racial animosity towards can NEVER integrate, while whose who 'qualify' (like this guys) are already integrated.

"Integration" of an immigrant occurs when natives *stops caring* that the immigrant has a different background or different behaviors and treats then as no different than anyone else.

"Integration" isn't something an immigrant can do if the natives never stop caring about those differences.
