  • I understand that there is double standard, but you miss out an important factor why the response is different: those missiles work by a different method.

    You can see this in action, when Iran shoot their ICBMs some weeks ago, the reaction was similar like Israel’s bombings. I have a feeling, that if Israel would nuke Gaza, the reaction of the international community would be much more harsh, but I don’t want to give them tips.

    I can see this meme is coming from the american teenagers’ instance, so I know they deliberately misunderstood this.

    The most communist part is that the whole process is fully managed by the government tax office, not some 3rd party private company.

    The not communist part is that it takes unbelievable amount of corruption to program and maintain these services under the hood. They figured out that it’s hard to measure how much human work needed to develop such a thing, so they can just invoice whatever unbelievable amount they want. American companies help with that as well. Windows and Office license for state offices 3-4 times higher than the normal price for consumers, because for some reason they can’t buy it directly from Microsoft, they have to buy from local appointed dealers… Actually MS was fined for this for USD 8.7 Million, the local party in one of this deal was promoted to higher government position afterwards.

    So actually this doesn’t exist for making the peasant’s life easier, just to have jobs to steal from… It’s just accidental that our small life becomes a bit less miserable during the process.


  • I tell you how it works in my shitty eastern european country:

    • I get an email that my report is ready, I have to go to a website where I can see it.
    • After logging in I can see a list, where I worked last year, how much was paid, if I should pay anything more or I can get back something.
    • If everything is alright I can hit OK. If something is not right I can open an issue on the same website, but I never had to do that ever.

    That’s all. Usually takes less than 5 minutes for the whole process.
