Bottom Line: Race is a social construct. It has no scientific basis, and that is not up for dispute. It's skin deep and it's time we move beyond this shameful legacy.

And that's when it's more obvious. There is a prejudice even against darker skin Tuninians, it just slightly more subtle.

The double standard is absurd. Racism is not okay irregardless of who it's coming from.

Mind you, they are more than capable of recognising it when it comes from the mouth of a White Westerner. But they use them against people from Subsaharan Africa without batting an eye.

I have gotten into multiple arguments with a number of people I call friends about the issue and I was taken aback how unaware they are that their talking points perfectly mirror every other right wing anti-immigration racist lunatic.

As long as you get good public services, you should be happy to pay taxes.

More taxes will never hurt the common folks, in fact it helps you.

We don't live in a communist society. And even then, I am sure we'll still collectively contribute to projects that benefit us all.

We'll deal with it then.

But for now, as long as money still exists taxes is how we fund society.

Once it's fleshed out the private sector then monetises it.

The most prosperous societies are those that understand that the public good need collective funding. The biggest projects humanity has accomplished were done collectively.

Transport, be it roads or public transit, are funded with taxes. Hospitals are funded with taxes. Schools are funded by the goverment using taxes. Most of the useful inventions and research is publicly funded because the fundemental science that advances knowledge is too abstract to make money.

To clarify, Five years is too low and her party still exists. It shouldn't. Dissolve the damn thing.

It's not a slippery slope. It's a clear criteria.
