Income tax is where they steal the money you just made.

Sales tax is where they steal some money because you wanted to spend it.

Property tax is where they steal some money because you live somewhere.

Debt is where the bank steals money you haven’t made yet.

Inflation is where they steal the money that somehow hasn’t been stolen or spent.

@louis@emacs.ch @jameshowell@emacs.ch kirschner is supreme leader of the FSFE for as long as i know the FSFE _and_ has his own history of unsavory accusations. just an example: write.as/malinagalina/i-took-f , there are more.

which didn't keep him from trying to backstab RMS.

the FSF might have some issues but they really pale in comparison. FSFE is essentially usurpation of the FSFs good name without having actually done anything of relevance.

the monetary report of 2022 (fsfe.org/about/funds/2022.en.h) shows that not only they rake in much money from their members.

they also get ~175000€ from the EU for "Next Generation Internet Zero" (which in essence is my money as it's tax money). actually spend for "Next Generation Internet Zero" was: 1,715.84€.

BUT about 145000€ go to "Basic infrastructure costs", which "Includes personnel and office costs for management and administration, technical infrastructure, fees from tax consultant and lawyer, and bank fees."

some people pay themselves quite a fine salary at FSFE.

I was reminded that most people outside the software industry have no idea that today, the world runs on top of free and open-source software. They're convinced that "nothing is free" "because capitalism". It's like some of those immigrants from communist countries who believe that selfishness is a requirement of capitalism...

Note that I'm not particularly advocating for the exploitation of free software authors, only stating facts.

@roland @m0urs@social.urspringer.de ich formuliers nochmal besser:

ich glaube für die afd selbst ist so etwas viel weniger wichtig als für andere.

entweder die afd ist antisemitisch, ausländerfeindlich, homophob, dann würde man dort keine mitglieder entsprechender minoritäten finden. oder sie ist es nicht und solche mitglieder existieren.

die 3. option, solche mitglieder zu blossen geduldeten "token" zu degradieren wäre entlarvender für die ankläger der afd als für die afd. dann wären alle humanistischen floskeln eben wirklich nur floskeln und sie zeigten sich als was sie sind, elende kollektivisten die die opposition abschaffen wollen.

@m0urs@social.urspringer.de @roland eben!

wär einfach spannend zu sehen wie viele juden antisemiten sind, homosexuelle homosexuellenfeindlich und "ausländer" ausländerfeindlich ;)

@DCR @andre @m0urs@social.urspringer.de warts mal ab, die echten demokarten schreien ja schon was vonwegen höcke staatsbürgerschaft entziehen, dann haben die nazis keinen perso mehr!!1 xD

@roland @m0urs@social.urspringer.de gibt es eigentlich zahlen zur religionszugehörigkeit der afd mitglieder? oder tut das da nichts zur sache? :blobthinkingfast:

@roland @m0urs@social.urspringer.de ja, und das ist auch nicht mehr satire und im konjuktiv wie "hier könnte ein xyz hängen" auf wahlplakaten, sondern spezifische aufforderung.

@DCR @andre @m0urs@social.urspringer.de aber wir haben doch schon den elektronischen perso! :blobcatbot:

@Sophistifunk yeah, that's probably for the best. somehow stupidity still winds me up xD

@m0urs@social.urspringer.de
> Kaum eine Partei nutzt das Portal weiter so intensiv wie die AfD. Die rechtsextreme Partei sieht keinen Grund für einen Rückzug.

das würde ich mal medienrechtlich prüfen lassen.

@m0urs@social.urspringer.de meinte eher so leute mit kaliber "höcke aufhängen" auf demoschildern. das ist halt echt ne andere nummer mmn.

@Sophistifunk he gets payed enough norwegian social security (oil money) to run a fat hardware fedi server and shills globalist agenda in return 💁
