Is the Europe slowly waking up to the reality, that they granted propaganda machines and intelligence services targeted and unrestricted assess to their citizens?

I take a solar panel on my balcony.

People like nuclear power that is far away.

Reddit is just like our all ex.

There is no war in ba sing se.

European workers have more rights that protect them from being worked into the ground?

I think you got something mixed up.

The students at Tiananmen square were a bit more stressed.

Isn’t like very basic security advice to not use random connections for sensitive information? But than again it’s Germany, pretty sure he has his password written down on a sticky note.

Konservatives want all drugs illegal and progressives want a more sensible approach - to keep peace in society democracy is able to find a compromise between those groups. After some time when acceptance rises, the compromise can be negotiated.

It’s called compromise - kind of base of this whole democraticy thing we have going.

Manipulating public opinion might work better in democracies than with authoritarian regimes. It’s just businesses.

Before mass slaughtering the Jews in concentration camps, the Nazis also proposed to deport all the Jews to some african country, for instance Madagascar.

That is the plan of the fascists.

It’s not that hard to read the comment I was referring to as equating EPP with fascist.

You might understand that I interpreted that as equating to Nazis.

Otherwise, I would agree that conservatives a running an appeasement strategy with far right voters - but it’s not like the left has found any strategy to combat the rise of the right. In realty no-one (mainstream) want’s to touch the underlying structural problems with a pole (global inequality and general exhaustion from capitalism), I would guess because there is not really a solution in the current system.

if we’ll have to retreat into a whitelist federation model with invite-only instances

That does not sound bad.

Don’t you think that equating EPP to Nazis is rather disingenuous? Motivations and ideologies matter and EPP is not the same as NSDAP by quite a big margin. For example Germans far right had a meeting talking about a plan to remove all “non-biogermans” from Germany - that indeed was almost the same as the Madagaskar plan.

I get where you are coming from. I just explain to you where the other people, you seem to not understand, are coming from. They have compassion for their fellow human beings who got in a shitty situation to no fault of their own (war).

why should they get special treatment?

Have you tried empathy? Just put yourself for a moment in their (those students) shoes and you will understand where people who are arguing with you are coming from.

Or, colloquially it’s used to describe something you just expect to happen. It does not mean that one literally knows. Obviously it’s more tricky with online communication since you don’t know me and don’t see my face.

Religion, not even once!
