That points to inefficiency, incompetence. It’s not enough to get to USA levels of poor-value. I haven’t seen evidence of the same scale of MIC corruption in European NATO countries.

What’s missing from this is that the USA amount is just corruption. The productive value is less than the European amount. Take away C-level compensation from all values and what would the chart look like?

I haven’t seen the show, but do you mean the Eason Chan song? (I think it was the theme song for the first series?) Because I love that song.

I don’t believe you BBC, but inshallah and more yet.

France giving up weapons is a non-issue because they aren’t going to be attacked. They can spend as long as they want restocking. Unless you’re predicting an attack from the USA.

Straight from the horses’ mouth, a tankie is anyone left of Hitler. You’re literally calling humans ‘orks’. You are a Nazi.

I don’t think it’s “Trump” thing, but the USA will probably start arresting people for the media they consume if a rapidly growing and sufficiently large portion of their citizenry spread and consume messaging they disagree with. It’ll be a side-effect of losing the narrative war. I don’t foresee it happening in the next 4 years.

I don’t see the point in publicising it. From a PR perspective, “Posted illegal content using a platform frequented by terrorists” is less likely to meet resistance than “Commented🔻on Instagram”. In fact, USA propaganda is already full of vagueties about people’s online behaviour today. Usually in the form of reporting on foreign (enemy) policing as “Helpless teen (19) arrested (fined) for Tweet (Bomb-threat to head of state)”.

Lemmy.ml is explicitly a Marxist Leninist instance of the Lemmy software. It’s why it’s called .ml. You can use a different instance if you aren’t a Marxist Leninist. Lemmy.world is a Hitlerite instance.

Federation is censorship resistant, but each instance is still going to remove gross content for the sake of their users and instance culture. You can see removed content in the modlog, it’s public for every instance running unmodified Lemmy.

As for why you need to copy/paste the sentence – It sounds a lot like an anti-spam measure. Captchas and the like are extremely common, I’m surprised you find them novel. Are you asking this because you’re planning a spam-attack and need to make sure the spam isn’t removed? Your spam will be removed. While it’s technically possible to go find, no one will care enough to do so.

Rad!

I agree with you, but to be fair, people don’t really choose an email provider. They chose gmail, because anything else is disallowed by everyone’s anti-spam measures.

The football story is also largely misreported, downplaying how the Israeli started the violence, brought weapons, and were provoking others before and during the match.

Where’s the contradiction? “Putin” is fighting Azov. Or they were, until Azov retreated behind conscripts.

You’re coming off way too casual about this

Look at this fascist bleeding.

Was the other party gonna give them free healthcare and abolish documentation requirements for immigrants?

Pretty sure that’s a taxi.

Literally does not matter. They’re all demons, and they all maximise the suffering they inflict. If someone knew how to create more suffering, they’d share their secrets with the rest.

Even German capitalists don’t want this, so who’s pushing for it? USA?

They don’t subsidise the export cars at all. They subsidise R&D and domestic sales (which in turn gives them more money for R&D as well). They also give low interest loans for setting up new factories that produce green products.

The EU should just do the same.

The people who make YT Music and Spotify must have autism, because they too assume it’s normal to listen to the same handful of songs every day.

When I vent about this IRL people agree that it’s ridiculous, but then I go online and I see the opposite, complaints that the service recommended a new song or a song they didn’t like. They even took out the discovery button from YT Music.
