While it’s true that “taking on” doesn’t necessarily mean Ukraine started the conflict, if you just read the article it’s clear that Trump believes Ukraine to be the aggressor (IIRC it’s not even the first time he’s said that?).
“It’s not a war that should have been started. You don’t do that. You don’t take on a nation that’s 10 times your size"
If anything were to cause antisemitism, it’d be the frequent gaslighting about antisemitism.
I guess that would be one of the main causes, if you just ignore the actual mass-slaughtering of civilians…
Of course antisemitism (ie. hatred towards Jews) has absolutely nothing to do with either supporting or opposing the nation of Israel (its existence in general, and the crimes perpetrated by its current government in particular), and even less has antisemitism to do with recognizing Palestine or not.
Those poor neo-nazis whose delicate sensibilities are torn between their antisemitism and their sympathy for the Israeli government (which I guess are the only ones who still listen to Netanyahu’s lies?) can rest easy: the two sentiments are perfectly compatible.
I wish people stopped voting complete morons into power.
Previously, this claim was rejected by a lower-level court in Hamburg, but a new ruling by the BGH found the earlier dismissal flawed and overturned part of the appeal, sending the case back for examination.
To me it sounds like there was some formal mishap and that the case is back to square one, from where it is likely to be rejected again. I don’t see evidence of any crazy judge this time :)
Axel Springer says that ad blockers threaten its revenue generation model and frames website execution inside web browsers as a copyright violation.
This is grounded in the assertion that a website’s HTML/CSS is a protected computer program that an ad blocker intervenes in the in-memory execution structures (DOM, CSSOM, rendering tree), this constituting unlawful reproduction and modification.
I wouldn’t worry if that’s their argument: you can modify whatever copyright-protected work you wish as long as you don’t redistribute it, otherwise taking notes in books or using an equalizer when listening to music would be copyright violations. Surely you can do the same with the programs you run on your computer (also regarding computer programs, live patching is a thing).
That said, copyright law has been so absurdly twisted and stretched (suffice to say it was born to protect authors and it now protects megacorporations’ profits) that it’s worth to keep an eye on this.
PS: You may want to take a look at Axel Springer’s newspapers/brands
Words spoken (and written!) from Trump, Putin, or their associates have repeatedly been shown to have very little basis on factual reality, and oftentimes even less consequence on it.
I understand the excitement around the meetings in Washington, but… let’s wait and see?
Aren’t they required to investigate any theft, if you denounce it?
Parents are troublesome pets.
right wing politics are all about control through power. left wing politics are all about liberation through coalition building to resist that power.
Whether the ideology used in authoritarian propaganda is left-sounding or right-sounding doesn’t really make a difference, and messages that may appeal to both sides are often used together.
To me your “power vs resistance” dichotomy sounds more like “authority vs anarchy” that “right vs left”.
Personally, I’d say the difference between left and right lies mainly in the equilibrium between striving for social equality (which right-wing people could refer to as “welfarism”) and defending the acquired rights of individuals (which left-wing people could call “furthering privileges”), but then of course it’s not like people/parties stand in an uni-dimensional spectrum (“trust in the future vs fear of the future” could also be a good way to characterize “left vs right”).
In what ways are non-right wing people organizing?
Organizing for what? Counter-partols?
Doesn’t help with bratwurst specifically, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sausage#History is an interesting (and very short) read
