maybe they should try having some actual policies instead of saying "we want things to be good and not bad"

They should try saying "we want things to be bad, for them" then never say who "them" is so people can let their imaginations go wild.

from what I read the uk's current law on stripping of citizenship has almost entirely been used against ethnic minorities with dual citizenship, which makes sense if they can't do it to people without

There's also countries like Morocco who automatically give citizenship to anyone with a Moroccan parent (resident or not). Unless you actively hide your kid from the Moroccan government they'll get it and it can't be renounced.

I get that a few hundred years ago this had a use to keep good relations with a king that might declare war on you. When you don't have that power anymore it becomes as meaningful as my 4 year olds' friend book she passes around her class. It's so pathetic.

The Netherlands' annual gas production was 50 billion m3 around a decade ago, currently 1/10th of that. Production was reduced because increasing earthquakes were destroying homes up north and it became a political problem. I expect that we'll start producing this winter under the guise of saving our fellow Europeans from freezing to death. EU use is about 400 billion m3 so it could make a dent, not to mention shitloads of profits for Shell and Esso.
