The history of Nazis holding rallies in Left-Wing areas of the Weimar Republic, instigating street fights, then telling the press that only they could save Germany from "violent communists" seems like something people should be aware of.

You definitely can't change anybody's mind if you can't even manage to explain how something would work in the most basic sense. Why even bother posting? You're worse than Shablagoo, at least he's just blatantly ignoring the problems with his proposed way of things instead of repeatedly going "I'm right but I'm not interested in explaining how or why."
If you want someone to take your seriously, don't make shit arguments. Why would he need to explain how elderly care could work without a profit motive when it literally does in various places all over the world? And why should he explain how someone working extended periods in different cities could ever work without the profit motive when militaries do that all the time? And couch surfing has existed for a large part of the internet's life. Like, why are you implying that things already working without profit can't work without profit? Be less disingenuous, get better replies

You're dodging the actual discussion here, which is that Shablagoo says those things being done for profit shouldn't be allowed. That is what you spoke up to defend. Which means the next step in the discussion is, how does the world operate if those things are not allowed? First part of answering that is answering whether there is still private home ownership and thus a home sales market or the government seizes, owns, and gives out housing. So, which is it?
No I spoke up to correct the notion that the things you listed are impossible without a profit motive, which is demonstrably untrue. You've made it very clear that you are in favor of for profit housing and I'm not going to try to change your mind. I probably couldn't if I wanted to.

The idea that you're clearly putting forth is that there doesn't need to be a profit motive for those systems. But you won't say what you think the solution should be. Do you think that the government should be in control of all housing and give it out to people for free based on some system or do you think that people should be able to own houses to use themselves, meaning that we maintain a home buying market?
That's not an idea, that's fact. Like I said, what you listed already exists in various forms without profit.

I'm not really sure what you want me to say? There was a list of services earlier that I said didn't really require a profit motive. I stand by that. I'm not here to propose a detailed set of policies on how to dismantle profiting from providing shelter. Frankly I think that's a boring conversation to have with someone who is hell bent on keeping basic human rights profitable

okay but what do you do right now, in the real world and not in this dream scenario where you start from scratch and build a system
you know, here and now where and when people do own stuff like rental properties that they "don't need to live"
government pay out on all excess properties so they can be redistributed via government?
Maybe if people stop making money just by having their name on a piece of paper, they'll get a job? That Austin guy is always on about how it's so easy to find jobs

it's basically the only way to incentivize the owners to participate in the program, right?
why else would a private owner do so?
to which the argument has to shift to: well that shouldn't be allowed. which means the state should own all excess housing and provide it to people as a free service?
Maybe if there's no profit incentive, there's no actual incentive to own so much stuff?

Everybody notices how Shablagoo refuses to even acknowledge the issue of people who choose to rent over own for various reasons, right? How he won't even attempt to explain how his "no profit from housing" system is supposed to work for somebody who frequently moves around as part of their job, or a senior citizen who wants to move into an assisted living community, or somebody who wants to rent a cabin by a lake for two months during the summer, or somebody with crazy work hours who just doesn't want to have to deal with routine home maintenance issues and upkeep, or...
I don't see why profit would be essential for any of those.

I did play a lot of Solar Eclipse growing up. It was always a small ish game and then had a tiny revival. I even became an immortal and had lots of ideas to make new areas and stuff but then I lost all motivation and quit. And well, at that point the game had like three players so it didn't feel very worth. Had the game had a very active player base I probably would still be playing.

Yeah that's a reasonable response. I mean the trends definitely seem worrying from what I can see. SD continues to take larger shares while the others seem to be on the downturn. We're seeing similar trends in Germany but not quite to the same degree I don't think
SD did shrink a bit during the early stages of covid, not sure if they've recovered from that yet. Their response has been pretty lame.

What's the general feeling in Sweden regarding this news? I had the perception for some time that she could be a real force for change with all the policies she was pushing
A lot of formerly green voters are really disappointed because they greens have bent over on big environmental issues. The local party in Stockholm formed a coalition with the right wing which had proceeded to shut down public services like libraries. The reaction I'm hearing is mostly "meh, they need a change".

I visit court houses often so I see a lot of cops, especially at District Court. They're very nice :3

Also they've come over to kick out some crazy druggies who came into the building for whatever reason multiple times. Although I don't know if they're technically cops. We just call our Investigations department and they send people over who I assume have some legal authority.
Then you give them your ID.

Don't blame others for not doing it when
  1. They legally aren't obliged to
  2. It could get them killed

White people always assume it's the first time the cops went up to someone black and asked for ID and a name when they did nothing wrong. Because they've never been harassed by a cop and can't comprehend that others don't get the same treat.

"Just give them your ID and Name every week like a good little bitch. Just don't let it get to you that the place you grew up doesn't treat you like the neighbor you are and instead treats you like a suspicious character your whole life."

Now watch the same guy who said that throw a huge fit anytime he's not givin the best service wherever he goes because he grew accustom to it.
Also people like to pretend that black people don't get killed for reaching for their ID because "he could've had a gun"
