  • Your argument doesn’t follow logic.

    1. you say voting for Dems would destroy it, but letting literal fascists get absolute power would also destroy it, permanently, while also destroying why change for actual leftists to gain power.

    2. for some reason you think it’s better to let the fascists win to destroy the center right, but not destroy the fascists by not allowing them to gain power continuously???

    3. you stated it’s not ethical to allow the Democrats to continue existing as they are because they’re not as a whole left wing and are also causing harm, but it’s ethical to have many more suffer? That’s just hypocrisy.

    4. you assume the DNC is dumb rather than corrupt

    5. you assume you’ll still have a legitimate democracy after Trump.


  • Actual leftists KNEW that already. Kamala, Biden, the majority of the DNC - they’re all corrupt corporatists.

    But the situation the USA was in was one of minimizing overall damage. And with the corporatists, there was still a small chance of gaining some control from them peacefully via elections, if simply because more left leaning people can at least run under the Democrat moniker.

    With the fascists, that opportunity is gone. By allowing them to win, not only do you worsen the genocide occuring in Israel (if not ensured Israel from achieving it entirely), but also just got killed a bunch of other people and hurt a huge amount of minorities in the USA as well.

    Not voting didn’t stop the genocide and never would have, but it did guarantee that it gets worse while hurting other innocents outside of Palestine as well. If you didn’t vote for Kamala (which literally means “horrible” in Finnish), you’re a dumbass, because you allowed a greater evil to prevail. Especially since I know many of y’all abstainers are still paying taxes anyway and funding the genocides either way.



  • I should have elaborated.

    In the EU, if buying from another EU country, you just put in your VAT# to exclude VAT. But your country’s tax administration can then ask to justify a business expense. You can only claim VAT paid on foreign (non -EU) imports once doing taxes for reimbursement if it was paid.

    I have a feeling Estonia’s tax administration doesn’t ask as many questions as the Finnish one.

    That said, there’s usually an actual exception for luxury cars, if it’s for your sales people (or if you do the sales, yourself). Luxury branding can be used as a “marketing tactic” due to “presentation”. Basically, if you’re meeting with a potential customer, looking like you’re successful technically makes you look more reliable. Essentially business attire for your personal transportation.

    Not saying it’s necessarily true, but it’s actually a really old thing done in many countries.
