La chute de cet article de la BBC est priceless
04.03.2026 16:49 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0And why should France help someone who's never been to France ? When do you stop citizenship. And again it's easy.. if they want to keep a link to the country and integrate the national solidarity they can register at the consulate and pay a small fee.
02.03.2026 13:31 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0And let's not forget also that those people spend a lot of time promoting a country that's based on modern slavery. And they don't criticize it. Just the Dubai is very safe is cringe when you learn about woman not able to press charges when they are raped
02.03.2026 13:29 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0And you're right. It's a moral issue. And therefore it is highly subjective and can be discussed. We just don't have the same view on what morality entails and what is more important between birth rights and equality in front of taxes...
02.03.2026 13:19 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Because when a citizen leaves a country to avoid paying tax, they should not beneficiate the advantages of taxes.

02.03.2026 13:16 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Do you seriously not see the moral issue of having people leave the country because they don't want to pay taxes but still want to have the advantage of the solidarity given by taxes ?

Or health issue. Or complain when they can't validate their semester for retirement. Again butter, money of the butter.
Some of those people are the worst entitled people you can ever meet.
And FYI I've lived as an expat for 15 years in my 40 year life (not in a row). In all those years we always had a link to France and paid taxes there.
And I see all the French here living in The US while trashing France for the tax. Except that they are happy to go back when they have kids...
Again why ?
02.03.2026 13:10 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0But why fundamentally should citizenship not linked to taxes ?

And there's a very easy way to see that. If you are a citizen that wants to keep link with your home country, you at least register in the consulate so that you can still participate to the life of the country by voting for example.
This is where it would be easy to ask for a fee
And sorry but I don't agree. When you live a country completely because you don't want to pay taxes that kind of diminish the citizenship aspect. You can be an expat and still keep strong financial link to your home country (which is what an expat here).

Is this a law of physics that can never be changed ? Taxes could be in part linked to nationality.
If a gvt needs to cut expanses what do you prefer? Cutting help to a rmfew rich expats or cutting help to Brits in the country.
And yet we all know that some people have more easy access to those services than other.
02.03.2026 13:02 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Yeah. It's call paying taxes, contributing to the society and solidarity between cocitizen. Something they decided to escape by moving in Dubai.

Yes. But if they want to get evacuated they should be registered in the consulate at a fee.
I'm actually binatiinal. I also have Swiss citizenship. I'm not register in the consulate, pay no tax there. I'm not expecting Switzerland to get me out of here if things get bad.
Have all the advantages of a strong government that is financed by taxes. In French we say they want the butter l, the money of the butter and the ass of the farmer.
And don't get me started on the people going to Dubai because it's "safe"
I'm French. I live in the States. As an expat because we are paid from France and we pay all our taxes in France. And we didn't get in here to avoid paying taxes.
The thing is that those people left Europe because of taxes. They brag about it. And yet when they are in trouble they want to ...
Of course now. But if they want a passport and consular service they have to contribute to it. It could be having to pay an annual fee.
And if they really are expat, they normally pay taxes in their home country. Otherwise they are immigrants...
The mistake here is the trivial costs. Nope it's not just the cost of evacuation. In order to do that you have to have an embassy, a consulate, diplomacy etc. And that costs a lot.
02.03.2026 12:50 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0We're talking about people who went to Dibai on the purpose to avoid taxes and that brag about it though?
02.03.2026 12:49 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0So why should they have the privilege of being evacuated in this case ?
02.03.2026 12:46 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0You could do something like paying for consular services when you register if you don't pay taxes in your country.
02.03.2026 12:44 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Voir aujourd'hui les mêmes influenceurs qui appellent la France pour être évacués ou qui se prennent la réalité géopolitique dans la gueule me fait doucement rigoler. Oui je sais ce n'est pas charitable. Mais un jour peut etre comprendront ils l'intérêt du collectif.

J'ai passé les dernières 48h a faire des recherches sur les influenceurs a Dubai pour un projet perso. Leur déconnexion par rapport a la réalité, le fair qu'ils quittent la France pour échapper à l'impôt etc. Au point que ca m'a rendu malade...

New in PN: Trump targets SCOTUS for stochastic terror
"The rule seems to be that Trump can direct his violent minions at absolutely anyone & there will be no consequences and barely any comment. The grim takeaway is that even justices, w/ all their power & prestige, no longer live in a democracy."
Juste mets toi a la place de chercheurs en SHS comme @magalireghezza.bsky.social deux secondes... des personnes qui leur expliquent que ce qu'ils font ne sert a rien alors qu'ils ne comprennent pas ce qu'il y a derrière.
