Taxbreaks?

Although it might be legit, the cia did make their own messenger at some point to catch „bad guys“ iirc. There is a lengthy report on german television (zdf). should be availble in other languages as well.

Depends on what you hope to find. Generally, independent media will show you the most complete picture. The taz in germany and 404 media are both pretty good afaik.

The conclusion that the US is a threat to democracy has evolved over time. Their financing of the genocide in gaza, their intervention in irak and other countries they had no right to intervene in, the first trump admin which cost millions of americans their lives and now the second one in the process of (allegedly) dismantling the government system alltogether. together with mass deportations and simple deletion of trans people from government docs. Oh and pardonning the insurectionists from jan 6th. No idea what follows.

There are a lot of sources for this stuff but you will have to draw your own conclusion.

Exclusively independent media (404 and newly the taz in germany). Besides that bush drums of the fedi (mastodon and lemmy, memes).

Tbh I feel a little queasy about the change of tone but thats how it goes with influx of people. I‘ll keep my strict anti tech bro stance and will rapidly block any bigots as I always have. People can of course say and do what they please here and I‘m not gonna stop them. But i also am not forced to listen to it. Thats very incompatible to the outside world so clash is inevitable imho.

Especially threads and bluesky are neither idiologically similar nor fitting for the small but free fediverse.

Billionaires and the fascist company meta is not welcome.

Living in germany for 30+ yrs. this WAS the norm everywhere but nowadays these are no longer built usually. So in fact only in badly maintained homes.

Thanks for pointing out the paradox of tolerance. I love to cite it since its that old and everyone in our current neo-liberalist world seems to have no clue about it.

I do feel like we need to debate about the „no platform“. I do think that people should be able to have their nazi bar, as it has always been. Because being able to discuss your views, as vile as one might find them, doesnt mean you can spread them to everyone. Its important for people to get educated instead about every gory detail that comes with fascism. The furcances where millions of people get burned, some alive. For me its similar to people liking to eat human flesh. I find it disgusting but if you put them all on an island, they can eat each other all day.

But please feel free to state your opinion. I‘m eager to learn if there is a solid argument to stamp out fascism and how it is done without having to spy on people for „thought crimes“ like in the book 1984.

Finally! Someone with a spine! Thank you for pointing this out. Have a nice day. :)

In germany, a couple peeps agree that china is becoming the better option for living. Both, the US and china are bad actors and enemies to democracy and freedom but at this point, the differences have become technicalities while the US has become more unstable and dangerous to its citizens.

Its not the dems. Its that broken two party shithole of a system. Its designed to pin partys against each other and make a show of it.

Neither party has any interest in the people, a third option has never been viable afaik and everyone and their mom was manipulating the shit out of everyone.

The spread of disinformation was so bad I had to ban everything that was related to the elections.

People need to organize, get orange man out and take out that whole election system in one fell swoop. Direct vote counts, multiparty system, then take out the ability to donate more than 1000$ to a party, then take out the billionaires who own the media and the huge conglomerates.

The whole situation is directly explainable through absence of any actual left wing politics. No social net, no housing, no healthcare, nothing.

The US is a perfect example of 30 years of toxic positivity and ignorance of spreading problems.

I think military service in general is kind of important since you can actually get attacked (thanks to russia for making my point).

We had mandatory military service for men in germany and it was canceled. I sure hope it stays that way bc it isnt efficient to make kids who have better options waste their time on something they dont actually want to do. We have a professional military for that. AND if we had it, women of course must go too.

But besides that especially in countries known for their warcrimes and batshit crazy politics, like the US, I think its clear that mandatory military training would be a bad idea.

You dont even need special nvme‘s. You can buy mid range ones.

Best is if they dont fail together so they should best not be the same batch or have the same age and write amount.

I do highly recommend to have a raid array for any server ssd since they fail unpredicably and without any signs.

Well said, if a little too understated even. In germany, some mention the nuremberg trials and nazis immediately shit their pants. Give it a read if you like.

You can do anything. Except criticising musk. Thats too far.

I‘m building this for some time now. I run a raid 1 on mechanical disks for file storage and have an ssd for the logic/database stuff. Have bought a second ssd and will put them in a raid as well bc limited lifespan.

Not interested enough to support corpo media please post it on peertube if you can. but from the headline: yikes! And I thought they were done with the most vile political idiocy.

I would agree if there wasnt a giant hole in your reasoning.

Once you stopped paying, „your“ library evaporated. It isnt that you rent out individual games. You have whole libraries built just from that.

And please dont go into the „gamers responsibility“. Thats an ableist view. Lots of gamers are underage and/or unable to make basic decisions especially against dark patterns and social pressure. Education and laws to limit exposure to this toxic stuff needs to happen, period.

…abd this goes on anticorporate. Thank you very much. And yes, I think it does and we do make a difference. Keep it up. Organize and search for people like yourself. Instead of turning the naysayers one by one and burning out, find your allies and spread the word efficiently. Think of the ideal situation and make it happen. I‘m here, lets fucking go (same mission, different continent)!

I know this is going to backfire: gamepass is convenient but every person subscribing fuels the toxic „rentseeking culture“ of capitalists worldwide. Some would say that its much better to pirate than to use this shit. Besides: it is technologically subpar and surely privacy invasive.
