  • France, UK, and Germany have the biggest communities (100k plus). Of this France has the biggest (440k and 2.8% of the population), but at least my perception is that it’s also the unsafest country in western Europe for Jewish people right now - I would advice you to reach out to Jewish organisations in Europe to get an accurate picture on this point.

    Hungary comes next, but I wouldn’t recommend the country to anyone that self defines as liberal or progressive.

    I think Netherlands and Belgium also have relatively big communities in the big cities.

    I think all European countries have synagogue, but some have pretty small communities.

    A “nation” is a community, and without conducting a full investigation into every individual birth, the two main indicators that a child will likely have strong ties to a national community are:

    1. the parents already belong to that national community
    2. the parents reside permanently in the country. Almost all countries in the mid shade of blue use this criteria for restricted birthright.

    Nationality should be about building a community, so nationality should be given if the parents have an effective connection to the country. For this reason I think the best solution is combining nationality “by blood” (i.e. if one of the parents is a national), restricted “jus soli” (i.e. children of permanent residents get the nationality too), and, as an exception, I believe children that would otherwise be stateless should get nationality on birth to fix the glaring human rights issue.

    As for children naturalisation, I believe any child that does most of mandatory schooling in a country should automatically get nationality.

    This being said, I also believe that very few rights and duties should be restricted to nationals. People shouldn’t have to live in fear of having their entire life upturned or not have access to services and social support just because they have the wrong passport.


  • That’s the thing, Software Engineers have choices.

    Yes, all big companies will do some dubious things.

    But then you have big tech that does all those dubious things and is also breaking democratic institutions everywhere with a sledgehammer.

    And then you have Palentir, which are literally Hollywood movie villains.

    At this point they are light years of their livelihood depending on it. There’s no way they don’t notice where the bombs are falling, they had plenty of time to look around and have decided they don’t care.
