  • Oh, I get it. They expelled you half a century ago, like you did with them more than a century ago, like they did a few centuries ago, like you did several hundred years before that... and at some point we can also add christian crusaders to the mix for even more "fun".

    So you (and I explicitly mean both sides here, equally infested with hateful morons) chose to fight for the sake of fighting until everyone is dead because you are all too dense to consider another option.

  • Funny how those people protesting openly for Palestinians without any problem, the people constantly criticising Israel's government openly and in the media and the people equally loudly critisising the German government for their one-sided comments in the beginning are somehow telling the story of how they are suppressed and censored. (Funnily enough the other half also criticed them, but for not instantly stopping humanitarian aid to Gaza... so basically it doesn't matter anymore anyway. The government is wrong by definition, then people look for arguments to justify that statment.)

    And yeah, sure. We know that fairy tale about not being allowed to say anything is popular, the other morons on the conservative to right side sing the same song. But it gets really boring after a while. In particular when you complain about not being allowed to speak quite openly in the media.

    If you don't feel home in Germany because the support of Israel after an outright terror attack frustrates you or because you feel censored for not being allowed to openly call for the murder of all jews (or the destruction of Germany to create a new caliphate here - yes that also happened and was a reason for some restrictions on protests), then we did a good job for once. Yes, you are not supposed to feel home here.

    The other saner ones can happily join with Germans also constantly criticising Israel. We know that there is no good side in this conflict. And Israel's goverment has enough right-wing idiots competing with Hamas in insane genocide narratives (that are at best lightly criticised for their comments when such lunatics shouldn't have a job in government at all) to have earned their fair share of the blame.

    Ffs... if you want to honestly criticise anything, then there is enough. Acts from fringe idiots against muslims are happening, just like acts of antisemitism are happening. Most of those are commited by a stupid minority that is fortunately shrinking, but sadly also becoming more radical and visible. I feel for everyone on both sides that is feeling less safe in Germany at the moment (although I really don't think that this isn't a German problem - not when I open international news and get similiar reports from elsewhere). That's something we can't talk enough about so please address those problems loudly.

    But people pretending to (or actually feeling) suppressed because they can't call for a genocide openly anymore or who alternatively try to innocently criticise Israel's government while openly associating with those genocidal voices... please leave.

    And people seeing a rise in antisemitic and anti-muslim actions rise side-by-side, even acknowledging that it's coming from the same right-wing idiots (like the one quoted in the article), but then turning around and criticising Germany's support of Israel's right to exist as the reason to not feel at home here anymore... get your head checked.

    Or stop lying... saying you are not allowed to protest for a free country in a report that actually shows a picture from a recent demonstration, prominently showing "Freedom for Plalestine" and "Stop the occupation terror" banners is either delusional or a bad attempt of gas lighting.

  • We have the ability to make Tuberculosis not exist and have for half a century.

    Please tell me more. My knowledge about this must be very outdated.

    There are a lot of things that are really only failing for a lack of distributing ressources. But Tubercolosis (where our once widely used vaccine was mostly ineffective in eradicating it and the treatment is complicated and long requiring monitoring of each patient because of the possibility of secondary infection from the antibiotics or organ damage) is not what comes to my mind first, second or for quite a while.

    In fact in both cases research is ongoing in search for more effective vaccines and easier treatments (primarily for shorter treatment periods as well as against the multiple antibiotic resistences), because our tools today are not actually up to the task.

  • Not in the detail I would have liked. So declaring it an immidiate risk to US security is seemingly possible, but what are the standards there? Who can check the justification? What pre-defined guidelines for such an assessment exist?

  • You just type ZZ... then the program assumes you fell asleep trying to exit and stops.

  • I'm still waiting for more distributions to include it to replace my old 3A+ home server.

  • Yes, bedbugs exist. They have always existed. Yes, there was a small increase, as expected with travel increasing again when covid caused a heavy drop before.

    Everything else was indeed media-induced panic.

  • But isn't that kind of the point? Their "experience in Iraq and Afghanistan" is what's telling them this is a stupid idea that only creates problems and solves nothing.

  • Sadly the Palestinian Authority has done the same so many times. Nutjobs on both sides are legitimizing each other with their hatred.

  • Just a purely coincidental singular case of an anti-LGBTQ+ leading zealot showing it's all projection... again for the ...who does even still keep track?... time.

  • And what about that "let's create a panic about some bed bug 'epedemic' for clicks"-media-scam?

  • Or from which animal... More naturally grown meat has a completely different composition (also a much more elaborate texture) than the same meat from an animal quickly grown with a lot of growth hormones. But both are 100% beef.

  • The ability for the "free market" to fix stuff is antiproportional to the stupidity of customers being manipulated by obvious advertising lies.

    The solution is education and teaching critical thinking skills.

  • Then we would now read about the next made up issue as the totally valid reason for blocking both.

  • Renewables are already well researched. It’s up to governments to enforce their use if they want.

    Actual reality: Renewables are already well researched and by far the cheapest way of production. It's up to governments to stop blocking them for their fossil fuel buddies.

  • That's not how it works. Then you might have figured out basically unlimited clean energy. But it will still not be provided to everyone who needs it but only to the selct group that pays the most to have that advantage over the rest.

  • And for the ones following this from far away... How much corruption... I mean election manipulation... no... "completely innocent district restructuring" happened before to make that possible?

  • I think it's much more than that.

    For example people also pretend the mode of transportation requiring licensing, regular checkups, a rigorous following of additional rules and the requirement to constantly display your identification is somehow the epitome of personal freedom.

    So I'm pretty sure it's not just "going insane" as the reality contradicts their believe. There is also a fuck-ton of brain-washing lobbying/advertising involved to influence people to move into certain directions. The move to resist vaccination simply isn't natural in the US (it certainly wasn't in the past), unless for a very small group of people. Then is was coopted and inflated as just another front of a cultural war to divide and polarize people.

  • It made many question the scientists working for these big pharma companies, where profit always comes first.

    A lot of scientist don't work for those companies, or even worse they work for the competition. That's why constant review of scientific facts and finding a consensus is the way it works.

    Scientists can also be like politicians, saying what they think people want to hear, without addressing the serious concerns people have; lying and moving goalposts does not help.

    That's a media problem, not a scientific one. If there are 10000 scientists agreeing on something and one with the opposite opinion, you will see 2 scientists debating the issue. This pretends there is an actual debate going on and not just one nutjob saying bullshit for what ever reason (might be honest believe, might be money, doesn't matter...).

    While the people (as in ‘we the people’) pay for the research/loss and the companies take the profits, while having full immunity.

    That is true, even more so in the very commercialized US health idustry. Yet that's far less true for vaccines than for any other medicine. Or how much did you actually pay to get vaccinated? And how much did the government (which spends your tax money) pay for each dose? They surely did a phenomenally better job at negotiating costs there than what your insurance companies or you yourself are able to do...
