You go far enough left you end up meeting far right ideas. Same when you go the other way around.

Just like

The risk of letting in a spy or terrorist is too large. No thanks.
It seriously saddens me how much 25 years of GOP propaganda against the Clintons has turned reasonable people among Democrats and those further to the left into parrots that try to pin everything on Hillary or Bill.
There are legitimate criticisms of The Clintons. But they are way less involved than people give them credit for.
To your comment, I have seen no mention of Hillary - then Secretary of State dealing with multiple conflicts - having any involvement in ACA. She had plenty other work. And there were other key advisors Obama picked that were the actually directly tasked with putting together ACA and making it pass.
Also let’s not forget such hits as Bill Clinton attempting a border healthcare reform which died very promptly. Which is why Obama and his advisors chose the republican approach.
Also let’s not ignore that ACA originally had the public option in it. But as always, there is always enough money in bribes to turn just the right amount of Democrats against core wins so that it was a Democrat (I forget the twat’s name) that demanded the public option be stripped from the bill.
We will never know what these 2 Swedes did or did not do. Likely nothing. That is how terrorism work. But perhaps they picked a fight and lost. Either way. Not the point here.
EDIT: I need to stay more on top of my news. Seems the perp released some statement about wanting to commit an act. So yeah. They likely did absolutely nothing. But you know why is Sweden in the crosshairs of extremist Muslims? Because of an Extremist Dane/Swede Rasmus Paludan that has been harassing Swedish and Danish Muslims with impunity under “freedom of expression” rules. This is the very definition of symbiosis. All the extremists Muslim organizations fed like mad off of Paludan. What do you think Paludan supported are doing right now!? Feeding on this energy recruiting. Plotting their next more. END EDIT
The rest of my pots- you misread not simply ignored. You are ignoring a lot of far right violence to try to make your argument.
But I still mention your point. The White/European far right does not need random acts of terrorism or violence. They sit in the government. They have way more powerful tools at their disposal.
It’s a symbiotic relationship. The European extremists say or do vile shit. The Muslim extremists recruit and say or do vile shit. The European extremists recruit and say or do vile shit and so on. And on it goes.
The difference is that one of these groups is way more powerful and can hide their vile shit in politics and media and among “lone wolf attacks”. Terrorism is almost always perpetrated by people without access to political/official power.
Like in other places. It’s all about disinformation and control of the media. Polish national TV has not mentioned any opposition leader by name in years - and you can imagine how they report on what is happening in the country and the World. It sways people. As we very well know from everywhere.
You miss the bigger picture. The shit journalism and propaganda are still free - funded by … other means . That is why magazine have tried to be free in the internet.
You’re also operating with the wisdom of hindsight. No one knew how to handle internet publishing. We all learned together.
There are plenty senates in EU states and EU also has multiple bodies where one state = one vote, and plenty EU resolutions need unanimous vote for passage giving (say 2.1M Slovenia veto over the other half billion people)
Giving more power to the unpopulated rural areas has not gone away at all.
It’s not about pro Russia. It’s about being pro corruption and oligarchy.
Lemmy lives on my phone and iPad. So rarely venture into the web UI. But I use Voyager On my mobile devices.
As does Windows and Mac. The both have states that are “asleep” but connected to the internet. Whether they will keep downloading - it’s not a thing I have tested.
Yes. Everyone told them to use the “disturbance of public peace” angle. They chose this idiocy. No f— clue why.
In Danish media the quote actually said the recycle bricks had higher carbon footprint than those from virgin plastics.
Plenty other uses for recycled plastics. Not every application is ideal for recycled plastics.
What if I told you, the kid playgrounds are there for the parents ;)
(Yeah yeah. Not all adults are parents. Still tho).
Adieu , a parent of a kid.
Because of apple’s size. And because we just witnessed a death of a proprietary connector. A major win for the consumer and for the universtal serial bus projects overall mission.
On a side note. Apple has been part of the usb c project from the beginning and based on some biographies - they worked hard to never release Lightning. But they needed to drop the old 30pin connector and found usb C not ready when they needed it - so they release the lightning port instead. Then stuck to it for obvious profit /ecosystem reasons.
I think there is more to this. In Sweden OK/Q8 their main chain of gas stations is installing chargers at many station and more coming every day.
Similar in Denmark.
the business model does seem to own out. Germany sells nearly as many EVs (as a %of all car sales) not sure why the progress is slower in Germany.
There are some stubborn car/ICE centric cultural and commerce cliques in Germany. Perhaps this is a response to them? But I feel there is more to it than meets the eye.
There are more … controlled ways to do that than in the middle of a war.
Looks up social control theory. It basically argues that we all are well behaved because we worry about the social consequences of our bad actions. You remove social control. The moral behaviours goes out the window. It’s pretty well supported framework for understanding human behaviour.
