None of that is relevant to the idea of affordable housing for college students because 18 year olds going to college haven't had the chance to start working yet.
I don't think I was particularly lazy as a student just because I got free college and $1k a month student loans from the Swedish welfare state, and a free apartment from my parents, all without working a single hour for pay.
I remember some of my strongest drivers in college were my social life, the opportunity to enter an exchange program, passing 75% of my classes to keep my student loans, and my personal interest in the things I studied. So some monetary/quasi-monetary, but also many social. And none of them based on wage labor.
Also, while social democracy like what I've described doesn't reject your ideology, there are also people who work for other reasons besides money, and there are more forms of unpaid work than there are for paid work.
Isn't Bluesky federated?
Why shouldn't everyone have access to housing, food, education, tutoring, and transportation like those people who inherit from their parents?
The social impact of engaged parents can't be missed, but there's no reason why there should be a material aspect.
The irony of saying that you're against the corrupt establishment and then going out and saying you're a big supporter of Donald Trump, the most corrupt, most established politician of the 2020's.
Well, the biggest supporters of Ukraine like the nordics, baltics, and Poland don't see Russia as far way, but yes, that's the difficulty.
It's surprising that even leftist parties like Sahra Wagenknecht have become open supporters of Russian fascism in Europe.
Yup, Immigration and racism have always been a huge debate in Europe.
Some Swedish wikipedia articles i recently found about pre-ww2 immigration and refugee debates:

Europe has never been ethnically homogenous.
I think its probably critical that political parties focus on defending against russian agression, even above economic issues or immigration issues. Might be time for unity governments if things start to get bad with the US and Russian fronts.
More proof that the election was decided by the economy, not climate or abortion. Which means the opposition has a lot of leverage here to stand up to Trump's fossil fuel policies and abortion bans.
1 is impossible due to Europe's conviction. 2 is inevitable.
I think 5 has some elements of truth, but a full on collapse would probably be the end of Putin. More minor economic problems would probably lead to koreafication around the current front line.
100% if you fine them 6% of their global revenue for refusing safety recommendations by the EU and independent auditors

There's a reason why Elon Musk is running to Trump for help after the EU started suing him for breaking this law.

If Trump can't dodge EU disinformation laws, no one can.
change.org isn't going to do much, and the EU already has an ongoing lawsuit with Twitter regarding its disinformation promotion.

It could be argued that the EU prosecutors should speed things up, though.
