Running until October 9
It‘s scary to see how very important european petitions get no visibility whatsoever. We had a basic income petition last year which failed because not enough people knew about it. Now we have a „tax the rich“ one that only lasts until october this year and only has around 250k out of 1 mio. signings.
Most EU people go through their every day life w/o knowing about them. There are no ads, no marketing…nothing. I know that costs money though one might think important petitions that lead to a better and progressive life would be supported by the government or ministries in some way, but nooooo
And why should they? It’s petitions that would help out the poor and middle class, but endanger capitalism and their exploitation, sooo: government and business leads for example.
So here the link for those who are interested:
Årh det er smukt beskrevet :,)
“Udenfor Vinduerne have han Udsigt til en Smule sandet Plads, hvor Marehalmens Klinger knejsede, graaduggede og slanke. Og saa han videre ud, mødte hans Blik, paa den anden Side den sandede Vej, forst en lille, digekranset Have med Pil til Hegn og en halv Snes vejrkrøgede Elme med stridt og skarpt Græs om Bunden. Derefter kom nogle magre, solbagede Agre, der kun gav skralt Foder til nøjsomme, forpjuskede Faar. Længere borte en Stump Hede, hvor der laa Strandingstømmer i Bunke fra den sidste Foraarsstorm. Og saa endelig til sidst de hvide Klitter 0g Havet med dets evige Mumlen, selv naar alle Vinde hvilede ...”

In Denmark a lot of people can have so blonde hair, that it's basically white
Reading a book about slavery in the middle-ages, and as the author sorts through different source materials from different eras, I am starting to understand why so many completely fantastical accounts of "faraway lands" went without as much as a shrug. The world is such a weird place that you can either refuse to believe any of it or just go "yeah that might as well happen" and carry on with your day.
There was this 10th century arab traveller who wrote into an account that the fine trade furs come from a land where the night only lasts one hour in the summer and the sun doesn't rise at all in the winter, people use dogs to travel, and where children have white hair. I don't think I'd believe something like that either if I didn't live here.
