This will probably devolve into /pol/shit but gaming might be over for us Brits. There's no reason this law won't cover in-game chat, Steam chats, Discord chats and 4chan. So expect games to just stop coming out over here so the government can "protect" kids.
Move while they still let you.

It's called late-stage capitalism

Immigration is good for "the economy"

Higher prices are good for "the economy"

The economy is how much money the owners make and they make more money implementing artificial scarcity, creating captured markets, paying workers as little as possible, and charging higher prices.

Yeah so this is another "solve the problem for us" law that the internet will just ignore like all the rest. 4chan in particular will throw them another middle finger because what are they gonna do about it? Not a UK company lol
Look up what happened with cloudflare and italy, same shit. Governments of irrelevant countries think they can dictate global laws, then get confused when nothing happens.
The only countries capable of such a thing are US and China and US is aggressively pro-corporation while China doesn't give a fuck about anything besides China.

It's because it's foid NGOs and foid police constables that are in charge over there. Same throughout many places in europe.

Think about what the Democrats would've been doing in power right now. The stuff we see from EU/UK lately is a literal scorched-earth seethe reaction that the democratic order wasn't elected within the superpower.
I was just at christmas family dinner last month and my aunt looked at me and said "I hope china wins :)"

That's where we're at. Because normies are science-bros now, they think anything that's a "rules based order" and "scientific" whatever is the way to go, and hatespeech bad etc.

Everything I've hated for the last 15 years is what's being aggressively enforced but it's no longer just online now, it's being made by governments and police because it's millenials who are running roughshod now. It's kinda scary in that sense.

Read The Open Society and Pat Buchanan's Death of the West. Zionist Jews/Fabian Socialists want white western countries to commit suicide, because white niggas going hard as fuck is threatening to them. Last time that happened, there was Hitler. Also mass migration is driven by the fact that the social programs can only continue if there is population growth. Big business likes mass migration because a less racially homogeneous workforce is less likely to unionize, as explicitly stated by the leaked Whole Foods memo.

Market forces incentivize the abuse the visa system and generally want to saturate the labor pool as much as possible to dilute the value of wages. You can't have free markets, or socialist policies without nationalism. You're both wrong.
>>
>>730698778
Capitalism is when people who just "own things" and do nothing productive demand they're owed money/rent/interest/fees/dividends, and control all the rules of society.

- Shareholders
- Creditors
- Landlords
- Anyone else who just "own things" and demands fees

People who don't "own things" are forced by law to work for people who do "own things"

All land is owned so anywhere you go to physically exist and build shelter is illegal. There is also laws against hunting/fishing/farming, and even selling things on the street.

This meets the actual definition of slavery, your existence is illegal unless you work for an owner

Your only choice is to trade your labor to people who "own things", so they can give you tokens, which you trade to other people who "own things" for the means of survival and a legal place to physically exist.

That's what capitalism is, you're welcome.

Nationalism isn't optional-it's a prerequisite if you care about sovereignty or worker protection.

Did you just stop reading there or are you retarded?

"The economy" is not a measure of the proletariat's purchasing power

Immigration is good for "the economy" because it lowers wages and job security for workers, which increases corporate profits and leverage over labor, and it adds more people competing for things like housing and goods, which drives up demand and prices.

Immigration makes more money circulate and more money circulating = more GDP.

If 99% of your population was starving to death and had $0, but the remaining 1% traded 60 trillion between each other, you'd have a 60 trillion GDP and a great economy.

>>730700072
Every physical thing is owned regardless of your economic system,

That's not true, but is mostly true in modern status of world.

All land in China is owned by the CCP or collectives, you can't buy land in China.

Conversely, housing costs as low as $25 a month or free from the government.
>>
>>730700219
Yes, that is the state owning the land. All land is owned by the state in the USA as well.
>>
>>730700072
>There is no reason you can't have free markets and closed borders.
That's what I just said. But you need a government that has the balls to nationalize and restructure a company that undermines the integrity of the nation funding NGOs that promote degeneracy/mass migration, hiring illegals, abusing the visa system, etc. That's the opposite of what we have in America.
>>
>>730700219
>Immigration is good for "the economy" because it lowers wages and job security for workers, which increases corporate profits and leverage over labor, and it adds more people competing for things like housing and goods, which drives up demand and prices.
1. The point of free markets or any economic system is not supposed to be the economic system, it's for the people. Letting in outsiders under the idea of making "the economy" better is a smoke and mirror trick designed from the ground up to destroy that economy.
2. Immigration is demonstrably not good for the economy by any objective measure. It's a failed experiment. Unless it's whites immigrating in.

You're still not getting it, in capitalism, the economic numbers are the end goal themselves, at the expense of humanity.

If something made economic numbers better, but killed mass amounts of people, it would be good for the economy.

Western mainstream economists believe prices going down is bad, "deflation", they instead dream of a system where we have 2% inflation a year but wage growth outpaces it, forever and ever.

So you need food to live right? Well that literally doesn't matter, western economists would believe that an abundance of food, driving prices down, would be a bad thing.

They criticize China for this, claiming their efficient production leading to abundance and lower prices, is causing "over-capacity", "supply gluts", and uncompetitive conditions for western corporations.

The USA intentionally destroyed food and paid farmers NOT to farm during the 1930s Great Depression to raise food prices on purpose
