On the other hand, their economies have been stagnant this past few decades. Also, get ready to lose 30% /40% / 50%( or more, 70% in France lol) of your income once you hit a certain revenue threshold. Let's not speak how all that gov money can be mismanaged and you suddenly find yourself in Argentina or Brazil. I don't like social democracy because it creates the possibility of extreme corruption, authoritarianism and the bureaucracy makes it harder for citizens to accumulate wealth. Also, nobody is entitled to other people's money.

Sadly for who i wonder...
Neoliberal capitalism and social democracies can both be corrupted and authoritarian without regulation, thought it's easier for dictators to arise with socialism as seen time and time again.

I’m really struggling knowing that someone could be so depraved. I can’t help but think how much she suffered.
There is so much to it.

The accused was sitting there watching her burn

And, worst part is bystanders cared more about recording video than either helping the woman or catching the accused.

We need more people like Daniel Penny and not less but unfortunately when he stepped up he was put on trial and protests were held against his release.
 
Immigrants where the main scapegoat during the gilded age. Now that we're in the second gilded age, the top 1% get away with villainizing them and portraying them as the root of the problem while they run out the back with all the money.

I believe those guys are letting such crimes happen to fuel anti immigrant sentiment and provoke a civil war. Both in EU and in Murica.

And the way she's just standing there, not moving while burning makes me think she was on drugs. Sad country where adults go to sleep during the day in public spaces while being drugged out. She's probably in a better place now, as sad as it sounds.
You know, I visited Berlin twice (would have rather not) and when using the elevators to the subway there would be random homeless people just SLEEPING ON THE DAMN FLOOR completely drunk/drugged out and nobody cared. I doubt they'd have given a damn in hey had been burning.
And then there's people that make convincing the people that urbanization is a good thing their entire identity.

It was morning.

She was sitting on a train and was probably sleeping or dozing off.

Accused set her on fire. Her clothes quickly got engulfed on fire.

Shock + Smoke filled lungs shut airpath ways and blood circulation gets affected which many times results in victim staying motionless or not screaming while in pain.


It's not necessary for her to be on drugs.
 
@Reborn and @Bisoromi Bear I watched the video without any censoring and the most haunting part was people walking by and not helping. It’s awful no matter what, but it would have given me more faith in humanity if someone had tried to help her. I hope she died quickly and was in too much shock to process what was happening to her.
Must be a nice Christmas present for the family to know that their loved one is no longer there because humankind showed its ugly face once again.

This is the spectator effect.

In certain condition, we have a tendancy not to act when we are in presence of a situation of urgency when there are a lot of people around. There are a lot of factors that might have simply frozen people around.

When the victim is conscient, it is recommended for them to point a finger at someone to unlock this spectator effect. Sadly, it wasn't the case here so everyone froze, perhaps by fear because the guy was standing in front of her.

One thing I can assure is that she didn't die quickly. Unfortunately, it was very painful death for her.

Recently, in my city there was collision between LPG and chemical truck - gas engulfed 300 meters area and caught fire.

40 vehicles were destroyed. Some died, many were injured.

But there was this picture I saw (don't wanna share it here) in which a man was totally burnt(you can see redness and whitish marks on his body), all his clothes got burnt and he was walking, was in severe pain, pleading for help. He died later in the hospital.


Well, I can understand that it's actually very hard to help her because she was on fire and even helpers would get burn trying to help her.

But the thing is people who were busy recording should have tried looking for fire extinguisher or water rather than just standing there recording the video.

They didn't even attempt to catch the accused who was right in front of them.

The people recording it and not helping is what really gets to me. It’s a horrific way to go.

"It's like taking matches out of the hands of a baby."

The cover-up over this is starting to wear, New Jersey politicians are straight up pissed.

Can't even imagine how angry military forces are getting over getting misled, but, obviously, they have to be more quiet about this.

I'll say, though, the media is great at its job, all they have to do is wave stupid crap in front of people's faces in the US, and they'll completely ignore the entirety of the USA getting invaded by an unknown aerial presence.

Glad this video describes how UAPs have been going after nuclear power internationally for a long time.

More of a documentary, honestly, though, man put in the work.
