Stochastic terrorism is a real thing though - and hate speech against a minority is one of the possible ways fascism can take root in a society.

Germany learned this the hard way how easy it is to overtake a country that was previously one of the most liberal and modern societies. That’s why hate speech against minorities and holocaust denial are forbidden and harshly punished here - and that’s probably one of the reasons why other countries in Europe had their far-right surges in recent years quite a bit earlier since russia had to be more creative about dividing the population

Yeah - it’s an art to find the perfect mix between “sounds complicated enough that they zone out”, “sounds like stuff gets done” and “not making people ask if you need help with that”.

Sounds like something Leon Skum world say

Libertarianism is just the extremest form of liberalism though?

Libertarianism also means EVERYONE is free to live their lives how they want - murdering someone is the very antithesis of liberalism

For me it’s the climate - no point in bringing a child in a world with a society that will inevitably collapse and a possible world war over land that’s still inhabitable.

Adoption maybe - but for me more children only equal more future suffering - and if not for my children because it’ll be somehow possible to shield them from the worst then for a couple of others that have to suffer in exchange when western countries pull up the drawbridge and let the global south deal with the mess they made for those countries…

Illegal immigration surging? The numbers are lower than any of the previous years? I’d consider thinking about which echo-chambers I’m part of in your place if that’s really the main issue you’re worried about right now…

And the conservatives attack them on every front because of how much they stir up things - it’s so sad how well that propaganda works…

How though? The government literally couldn’t force people into getting a vaccine because that was too damaging for bodily autonomy. How is brain surgery in any way less invasive?

And even if they don’t keep it: they got browser-level Adblock- and Tracking-Filters that you can just feed the same lists you’d put into uBlock

Sure it’s lacking the spot-blocking, tool if there’s a missed ad or a fine-tuned whitelisting but I think that browser will stay usable even if V3 is implemented.

Tbf - once the fediverse gets big enough it’s kind of open season for misinformation spreading groups. They can just join another server once the one they used got blocked. Worst case they get onto a server that actually gets used by normal people and produce a lot of casualties by getting the server defederated.

I think it’s a nice concept but for this type of misinformation it’s really not the best thing…

The German silver medal winner in long jumping couldn’t finish her last jump and got wheeled off in a wheelchair as she couldn’t breathe properly anymore as a result from a 2 month old COVID infection still reducing her lung volume.

How are you guys setting up Osmand for bike navigation? Especially within a city I have the feeling it always gives me suboptimal ways. I only want to use cobblestone roads if absolutely necessary, I only want to use parallel streets if there is no dedicated bike path on the main road. In both cases I only find options with a too one-sided option.

Why give the heritage status first and hope they do a good job with the exhibition?

Japan is notorious for not admitting to their crimes in WW2 - the exhibit should’ve been first and then they could’ve the status - giving it on a promise is stupid

Don’t confuse the Schuldenbremse and the Schwarze Null

At least they allow for some debt - not like the CDU that celebrated their Schwarze Null in times where Germany would’ve made a profit from lending money at negative rates

FDP is still a terrorist party at the moment though

Every time I read JD Vance my mind goes

“JD Vance of Vance Refrigeration”

What was that guys name from The Office again?

It’s so crazy how many young guys choose this clown as their role model…

And the far right will still paint the integration as failing because the people voting right are almost exclusively not living in cities and not in contact with immigrants of any kind so all they see are the Horrorstories in the media which reports all migrant-violence but not that every other day there’s a femicide by a German.

It’s so shitty how skewed the whole discussion is because media doesn’t want to be seen as biased by not reporting on some local dispute ending in violence so they Overreport everything instead…

Last weekend there was an attack in Berlin where 20 Neonazis kicked people’s heads when they were already on the ground and they specifically targeted people going to a left wing protest

Somehow that’s only local news but a group of migrants harassing a woman regularly is newsworthy enough to make German-wide headlines…

Yeah and that all those changes where within the span of a month, 10 years ago
