  • Germany's population is around 83 million, Berlin would be around 3.5 million. So 160k is a lot (4.5% of Berlin's citizens).

    Further reference: the largest demo in Berlin was the protest against the Russian invasion of Ukraine and counted around 500,000 participants.

  • It will harm consumers and small businesses way more than it will harm the big corporations. And that's exactly the goal: consolidate the government by crippling their biggest enemy in the middle-class. It's how fascism operates: make sure only your supporters survive.

  • The EU was initially a good idea, but it got too involved in national politics (anyone remembers the banana guideline that reads like a meme?). I still think, the EU is fine and we should keep it, but it should be a defensive alliance first and foremost and not some fucking merger that is advocating for the rich. Sadly, it's the rich that have the influence because, well, money and they are going to abuse it.

    A call for isolation and autarky is a massive red flag and nothing good will ever happen after that, it always leads to exploitation and violence. The reason CEOs don't like globalism is because it's harder to create a monopoly on a global market than regional and capitalism strives for those because it hates competition.

  • Not necessarily. You can plead guilty while still asserting innocence, for example the Alford plea. It means the defendant accepts the sentence, but remains adamant that what they did was okay according to their conscience.

    In this case tho, the only alternative is to go free despite your wrongdoing, so it might be more of a "Fuck your pardon, orange twat" reaction.

  • Haven't logged into my facebook since covid. Don't have Instagram, WhatsApp or other social media crap. Lemmy (sometimes reddit, I have to admit) and Discord are the only "social networks" (I hate this term, it should be para-social network) I use.

  • At first I thought it was blown out of proportion, too. After watching the video, I can only say that if he did that in Germany, he would have been arrested on stage. Let's see what topic-relatedly, profoundly knowledgeable Benito Mussolini, allegedly, had to say:

    "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."

    Ah, ok, thanks Benito! Enjoy your fascism that you voted for, America. I hope those egg prices will go down (they won't).
