would lobby against postal privacy

No, they wouldn’t because then the stupid masses might wake up and realize how their rights are stripped away. Instead they always pretend that existing constitutional and other laws would not actually protect communication.

Nonetheless, I’m convinced every minister of justice would state the same

You are right. But that only shows how hard they are trying to destroy democracy now as the EU and many countries’ constitutions consider privacy and the ability to confidentally communicate privately a basic human right.

References:

EU convention on Human Rights: “The European Convention on Human Rights protects the right to respect for private life, the home and correspondence. This includes protecting the privacy of messages, phone calls, and emails. Governments can only interfere with these rights when it is specifically allowed by law, and done for a good reason – like national security or public safety.”

Danish constitution: “§ 72 The dwelling shall be inviolable. House search, seizure, and examination of letters and other papers, or any breach of the secrecy that shall be observed in postal, telegraph, and telephone matters, shall not take place except under a judicial order, unless particular exception is warranted by statute.”

All those morons could at least openly talk about the fact that they want to change basic constitutional rights. But they don’t as people could realize what they are doing then. So it’s always the same bullshit of bending and bending laws until they break (or courts object), then pretend to be totally surprised, turn around and try the exact same shit again.

I think they are right. Everyone should mourn him properly.

And there is no way more proper than respecting his own wishes and acting like he encouraged to do.

So let’s gladly accept his death as the neccessary and justified cost for free gun ownership, don’t politicize his death, don’t show any empathy for him who preached violence and reaped exactly what he sowed, and start collecting money for the legal representation of the guy who shot him.

Did I miss anything?

Oh, if you include the complete supply chain in the “car industry” there are surely some people who want to desperately stick with combustion engines for lack of another perspective.

But those don’t justify the massive amount of political and media coverage that always pretends (quite explicitly even) that it’s the big producers (thus employers) speaking and not some small “we produce a few parts for the manual transmission exclusively” - or “we are the leading supplier for fuel pumps”-companies that are complaining.

No, they don’t.

They are begging for strict guide lines to have some security in their planning for years. They are massively upscaling EV production. They stopped CE development years ago with the latest engines developed already on the streets for years. They have invested billions into EV production.

This is pure astroturfing. Fossil fuel producers (with the help of their paid stooges in politics and media) are telling a fairy tale of how car producers fight EVs because the tech/the infrastructure/whatever isn’t ready yet… all in the hope enough morons believe it so they can delay the actual development some more.

And given our wonderful new post-factual era and how people are eating up the lie and start ranting about those car producers it seems to be working as usual… If enough people fall for it and falsely believe that there are no proper EVs to chose from (sidenote: a lot of car dealers with repair workshops included are helping to spread that lie) they might be able to delay everythinhg for a few more years, or so they believe.

(For reference: here’s an article about all the new models presented on this year’s IAA and completely unsurprisingly there is exactly one CE/hybrid in the whole list… the latest Renault Clio iteration.)

Unfortunately you are severely underestimating the amount of idiots…

If they are e-bikes, allowed to drive in bike lanes, they should not be able to drive about twice the speed as everyone else.

Please do. All those over-motorized fat bikes with their oversized frames in particular are nothing more than small motorcycles that avoid registration and licenses to endanger the lives of people in bike lanes.

As we are living in a post-factual era the killer will be exactly what the narrative demands, reality will not matter.

He advocated to accept gun deaths as a justified cost for the 2nd amendment and to avoid that new age bullshit called empathy.

So he did not only get what he deserved, he got what he asked for.

Yes, please do so. I would love to get details about all the far-right nutjobs constantly calling for violence as well as some of their financial backers…

“Fascist pro-Trump political operative Charlie Kirk…”

How sad is it that such a trash publication needs to be the one calling him what he actually was?

Germany is supplying “Anti-Tank” Rocket launchers

The weapon you are ralking about it a German/Israeli/Singaporean co-development with Israel having its own production.

The submarines are used as part of the patrol to enact the sea blockade against Gaza

Sea blockade against which countries trying to deliver anything to Gaza exactly? Oh…

Other deliveries included artillery ammunition.

No. The actual deliveries are well documented. “only four licences for ‘war weapons’ have been granted: two for training ammunition, one for propellant charges for test purposes, and one concerning the export of 3000 portable anti-tank weapons”. That’s the total amount since October 2023 btw… And nearly 2 years later we are still talking about stuff that isn’t real.

And speaking about stuff that isn’t real… trying to pretend that there are no rockets and missile still shot at Israel and talking about “alleged” self-defense is objectively wrong.

So congratulation. You invalidated actual arguments about dual use stuff like electronics, communication as well as armor to parrot bullshit.

And then people wonder why the discussion is not going anywhere… yet they don’t seem to ever be able to actually talk fact without showing where their talking points are coming from. Thus they enable stupid political symbolism like the shit Merz’ is sputtering here.

The thing is: Germany doesn’t, for years that is (yes, the actual deliveries are public 😉)… Unless you pretend that air-defense, air-defense corvetttes, torpedos or submarines (all ongoing contracts for many years, too) are somehow used against Palestinians.

They do, they don’t, it’s all the same smoke screen to keep you occupied with nonsense.

Friedrich Merz did not decide or change anything. He ist just throwing out another diversion for you, so you won’t discuss the obvious corruption and destruction of social systems while enriching himself and his rich buddies.

But lumping all of them together with the far-right idiots isn’t helpful either.

But that is exactly what is happening. After Merkel the C*U did a massiv leap to the right and spend the last 3 years parroting every far-right lie and narrative thus painting the picture of those morons actually being right and having a point.

And given that it happened right after two small parties (Greens and FDP) banded together after the last election to see who is given them the better deal in government building it’s hard to believe that this is a coincidence. They realized that they are going to be meaningless no matter their own votes if they don’t find any common ground with other parties so they helped grow another (far) right-wing party, democracy be damned…

What government?

He spend years ranting about the former governent’s uselessness (the one that did more work in 2 years than the usual C*U-led government in 8…) and making big promises… only to break them all within weeks of the election (some of the big ones even before becoming chancellor).

So what we got is yet another perfect example of right-wing populist reality: Making a big show of rolling back progress made by the former government as a diversion from all money gifted to his rich buddies while also silently keeping all the former government’s neccessary but often unpopular changes he was most outspoken against. Sadly neither reality nor economy actually care for culture war bullshit.

It’s basically “We are in power again so now everything will magically become better while we do nothing but enrich ourselves”. And their brain-dead voters see no actual problem. Sure… they criticise the (obviously non-existent) results, but will still vote exactly the same again, like they do every single time (for reference: C*U lost only about 1.something % or so in polls since the election).

So one in five doesn’t do proper backups. That’s much better than expected… 😅

Isn’t that the whole point of containerised solutions? Having some pre-setup, auto-updating solution with very little requirement to dive into the details like what your database is and which dependencies you need to manage…

Correct answer for basically every country: far-right extremists and the hardcore neoliberal capitalist right (that will happily cooperate with the former if given the chance)… constantly pushed by bad foreign (to destabilise democracies) and domestic (to enrich themselves at the expense of democracy) actors^(*).
