Hi!
My previous/alt account is yetAnotherUser@feddit.de which will be abandoned soon.
Any ban of a political party includes “successor” parties/structures. If a large number of politicians from a banned party joined another, that party is likely to get banned too.
It won’t fix the issue but it provides room to breathe. A ban is preferable over doing nothing any day of the week.
Zweibel would be two Bel (or two Decibel, converted to the better known unit) if you forgot about your space key.
Surely you mean Zwiebel.
To be fair, people with tumors behind their ears will likely hide it to avoid assholes staring/taking pictures. I don’t see many cancer patients attending chemotherapy either because they are wearing hats/wigs.
Still, shouldn’t they get cancer on their hands instead? That’s the closest body part to your phone at any time on average, isn’t it?
The walls of the echo-chamber have been built up and reinforced for over a decade. No single election cycle will ever pierce through.
These people are lost causes unless a massive culture shift happens. And it’s not looking like that will happen in the next decades. You, just like other countries, will have to deal with a growing strong block of far right, young men who will grow up to be far right seniors.
The warning signs started being obvious with Gamergate but they were ignored. The only thing that can be done is preventing the growth of these echo-chambers but the damage is done. It’s just like how carbon capture will not solve climate change, only stopping emitting more as soon as possible.
That… doesn’t seem overwhelming?
In the city council election I voted in (Germany) you had ~40 votes (don’t remember the exact number) to distribute among candidates. Each party put up to ~40 candidates on the ballot and you had to distribute your vote among the candidates. You received like 10 ballots, with each party being on a separate one and had to cast your vote in an envelope with the relevant ballots.
Additionally, you can give up to 3 of your votes to any one candidate by putting a digit next to their name or just cast one party’s ballot without entering anything to give one vote to each candidate on that ballot.
Sure, it sounds complicated but you received the ballots with some information two weeks before the election and were encouraged to bring them filled out to the polling station (to reduce waiting time) or register for mail-in voting. Most people probably just casted their entire vote for one party anyways.
These suggestion all sound quite bland and corporate though. GIMP isn’t a great name but better than all of those in my opinion.
A better change should be more like Minetest becoming Luanti. Here is what ChatGPT came up with instead:
These are horrible compared to Luanti.
And an archive would be doing exactly that: Distributing copyrighted materials.
Moving to Europe is not necessarily a great idea depending on the country they choose. US copyright law is comparatively lenient to some European countries, who can be said to be (much more) controlled by publishers when it comes to copyright.
Depebding on the country, Europe has significantly worse copyright law than the US, to the extent that archiving a web page is illegal.
Fun fact:
In Germany you have to pay a special tax for anything that could be used to violate copyright. It ranges from 0.10€ for USB sticks to 90€ for faster printers to 14,000,000€ for opening up a public library - all going to a bunch of publisher organizations.
I wish it polled for each possible position:
Don’t worry, the youth will only become further right-wing.
Here’s the result of a local German state election from September. It displays the results for people aged 18-24, divided into male (light) and female (dark). AfD is openly fascist. No other age group voted for them as much. Getting 46% in a system with proportional representation is basically unheard of by the way.
I very much suspect this trend will continue.
Why then do countries with existing left parties and proportional representation elect further and further right-wing parties in Europe?
It’s simple: They promise easy solutions for complicated problems. Banning immigration will fix all crime and the economy, opposing LGBTQ+ rights will ensure a return of the better olden days, climate change is nothing to be worried about etc etc
And even people depending on social support will gladly shoot themselves in their feet if it means someone else will have it worse.
That’s what I thought too, but wouldn’t it be mentioned somewhere in the article? Like a line saying:
“The city government plans to demolish the bridge due to risk of collapse.”
But why though?
Blind serbian nationalism would be my guess but there seems to be more. Why now and why dismantle a working bridge without replacement?
Hey baby… wanna watch Jellyfin and dismantle the patriarchy?
But that would be worse?
The solution to women being treated unfairly is not to start treating men unfairly too. It’s to treat women fairly.
Couldn’t you tell? It’s clearly a furry cat.
I disagree, it was a common German first name until he ruined it.
Though you should keep insulting him, the methhead “war strategist” deserves it.
Why would you use Spanish though? You can further denigrate them by using English and also banning the use of Spanish by prisoners. You wouldn’t want them to be comfortable, would you?
Another sign you could use is:
To Each His Own
which was on the Buchenwald concentration camp.
Fair enough, I’m far from an expert when it comes to working with these tools.
