I don't agree with everything, but certainly there is a lot we could learn from it. But that goes for all sides of the political spectrum.Originally Posted by CosmoLady
Really? You know that Singapore executes drug traffickers, right? (like most of Southeast Asia)
You know that even the possession of small amounts of cannabis, let alone hard drugs, is a capital offense? Also murder.
You know that the typical time from arrest to trial to execution is about 1 or 2 months?
You know that littering, vandalism, and other minor offences are punished with caning, a vicious beating with a bamboo cane?
Now do you understand why Singapore is so safe and clean and orderly, with no drug problem or widespread mental illness?
No sissy lefty Britbong liberal could ever tolerate a paradise like Singapore. Please stay in Londonistan.
And you know that mandatory military service in Singapore is 2 years, right?
Singapore has very conservative, nationalist values, though the population is naturally multicultural, heterogenous.
Yes, much lower taxes and regulations than Margaret Thatcher's wildest dreams, thank you very much,
everything that leftists oppose, along with balanced budgets required by law, another idea hated by leftists.
Just like pre-1994 South Africa and Rhodesia, thank you very much.
Singapore is even better, because 80% of land and 90% of real-estate is state-owned,
which prevents the formation of slums, shantytowns, and Sowetos.
Every sector of the city is self-contained and closely monitored, every sector is an original 10-minute-city.
And motorways are state-owned but financed with tolls.
And the remaining 10-20% is EXPENSIVE and a very lucrative commodity for international investors.
While excessive speculation is attenuated with a 25% stamp tax, which is only fair,
and very reasonable to finance such a competent state.
This is a nationalist position that prevents the takeover of foreign plutocrats, Buffett, Gates, Soros, Blackrock, etc.
And you are aware that balanced budgets are required by law for the past 40 years?
No deficit spending for dumb lefty programs and bureaucracy!
And no mass migration or benefits for migrants! The state actually cares for its OWN people first.
Everything must be paid for, with low taxes might I add,
which shows just how wasteful and dysfunctional Western governments are in the first place!
All debt is from investments, not deficit spending. The state IS a local corporation.
Are you OK with this? I doubt it.
