Don't blame it just on trump voters, any cents you ever paid to the government also went into this.

Looks like something that could have been avoided with a longer runaway

According to your history you are posting memes and shitposts yourself.

It's good that people are exposing manipulation and the corporations behind it but it's quite useless to do it on a heavily censored and already manipulated platform like reddit. I would also like to remember everyone that a bunch of people paid to work 8h a day could rig lemmy in a day, if you don't stop upvoting memes and stupid subs evil corporations like palantir are going to feast on lemmy.

A group of activists trying to bring humanitarian aid to people undergoing a genocide gets targeted by the army in international waters and sprayed chemicals from drones. This is the world we live in, anyone dismissing the situation and siding with authorities is an idiot.

They could have inspect the boat to make sure they weren't smuggling weapons and let it go, instead they seized it along with the crew because only the israel government has the authority to bring aid into gaza. This is 100% fascism.

it's already a surveillance state and both the red and blue party are complicit.

It's not just the red administration, all the government is rigged and most politicians are criminals.

Closed source, centralized and not even free...

Christianity is a man made religion shaped to control people in which you are supposed to "worship" a really high authority that cannot be questioned.

Somehow, they actually are a good source for political news.

This thread imply they are not a very good website for tech news and neither political.

but Ars Technica remains a very good website for tech news

This thread imply they are not a very good website for tech news.

The north african migrant crisis is a direct result of european countries among others fucking up africa and the middle east. Doubling the military budget has the potential to make thing even worst.

Doubling the already over the top european military budget isn't going to fix any of the things in your first list.

If european countries are concerned with USA instead of doubling their military budget they can simply cut and close the thousands USA military facilities all over europe.

If you cannot discern which regime uses which rhetoric

Since the dawn of man no regime is good.

You are replying in a thread about 34% of Russian strategic Russian bombers being wiped by a "poor" ukraine drone attack.

Same power dynamics since the dawn of man.

Same power dynamics since the dawn of man, rulers use fear to seize power.

And what about US aggression towards parts of the EU like Greenland? You sure you want to decrease military spending against an increasingly facist super power right on your doorstep that has already openly stated to be very much interested in forcefully attaining your overseas territory? I don’t think so.

The US has more than a thousand military facilities all over europe, if they are your concern the best way to defend against them is indeed cuts.

Pacifism, unfortunately, is dead in this new age of multilaterlism and worldwide resurging authoritarianism.

Don't say nonsense please, if you are concerned with authoritarianism you want to cut the military budget to 0 so that no authoritarian ruler can use it.

but not as expensive as Russia invading.

Given ukraine managed to wipe 34% of their strategic missile bombers with a drone operation it sounds like there's room for cuts

The threats used as a leverage to increase the already high military budget of the european union countries are about a widespread invasion of europe and attack to nato.

For all the valve bootlickers here: while it is good that they are now supporting linux remember that if the shares still look favorable to windows it's thanks to company like valve who for decades promoted proprietary software.
