They don’t care. They just read from some place that Chappelle is evil now so he must be shunned.

We got rid of fundamental religion with somebody telling exactly how to think about everything, but I guess some people just cannot live without one.

Pro-China, anti-CCP.

Like, would we be criticizing Germany today if some new photos of the concentration camps were found?

Yes, if it weren’t for the blindingly obvious historical fact you’re blatantly ignoring: Germany admitted to everything it had done and very publically repented for decades.

China has done the exact opposite of that, so until that changes, there should be constant pressure on them.

Not in another 10 years I guess (Epstein crimes apparently happened in 2002-2005)

Sure. This practically requires you to identify yourself when you connect so the system can tell whether you’re a politician or not.

So do you have suggestions on how to fight bad actors like AfD?

So I realize this is a controversial topic… but how exactly are we going to stop shit like this from happening with a free, encrypted Internet where the government & authorities have limited access only? Those fuckers have a thousand ways to smuggle data into Russian hands without anyone knowing about it.

I like free, encrypted Internet and even the darknet, but do I like it more than I dislike Russia? I don’t think so.

Trump did his normal NOTHING again

That’s better than what he did in Ukraine though.

Perhaps 10 years ago I seriously thought that moving to USA might improve my life.

Russia has been doing that on eastern and northern europe countries several times per year, even against “friendly” countries like pre-NATO Finland. And before that, they did it as Soviet Union.

But of course the current US administration holds those scumbags as role models.

They’re not fining Musk. They’re fining X/Twitter.

That doesn’t fill me with amazing confidence.

Damn, and here I thought I didn’t already have great reasons to be fiercely pro-EU.

Thanks, Elon!

Also note that Dimitry Medvedev, the great Russian clown / mouth of Sauron, replied “Exactly” to this.

Also Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, replied with similar sentiments.

This sounds like an entirely good thing! Good job EU!

I watched that part. Putin visibly flinches when he realizes what he said and then for the following few sentences tries to lighten the message down. It’s kinda fun to see him that weak in front a microphone.

He’s so not ready for a war with Europe that he cannot even lie about it.

But headline creators don’t give a fuck about that of course.

She’s right. I’m sure Lemmy users will be happy to learn this and will in the future look at online content with a more critical and discerning eye.
