  • Anyone able to fill me in on what the sort of "steelman" argument would be for such a punishment?

    I'm having a hard time understanding the expected outcome - I guess just hoping he leaves the country, without actually kicking him out? Why not just kick him out?

    These are two entirely different cases. One is a private company not wishing to deal with a private group due to fundraising for Cuba. While that's a legal thing to do, it's also perfectly legal for a bank not to want you as a customer. If the DKP thinks they're being discriminated against, they should sue the bank. The government is totally not involved here.

    The second example is a dude who is literally a paid Russian propagandist. Putting them on the sanctions list is much more effective, since they're not actually in Germany most of the time, but base a lot of their work out of Turkey. Kicking them out would do nothing.

    Dogru (...) was previously a key part of Red Fish, a platform financed by Ruptly, a Germany-based outlet partially funded by the Russian state-controlled network, RT. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Dogru closed Red Fish and started his own independent outlet (red. media)

    Quite a few Russian propagandists are using the antifa label and Palestine support to get away with their propaganda work. In the case of Dogru is not even well hidden, he went straight from openly paid Russian propagandist to barely-covered propagandist without even bothering to change the name much, or the media channels at all.

  • The NFT is a non-fungible paper that says "you own this thing everyone can use", and as soon as you make that thing private, the NFT instantly loses its value.

    A land deed is a "non-fungible" paper that says "you own this thing everyone can use", and as soon as you make that thing private, the deed massively appreciates in value.

  • Most of the Europe right is screaming about refugees, which form a tiny fraction of all immigrants. They're totally with the rest.

    Of course, "asylum seeker" is really just a dogwhistle for "brown person".

  • That way, mommy and daddy can easily chuck the sealed poop bag out of the nest.

  • The last few times, at least the corporations showed a real interest. This time, the US government just kind of assumed.

  • They know one thing: Trump's support won't last 18 weeks, let alone 18 months, let alone any real timeframe.

    And the US produced more oil than Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the UAE combined in 2024. You can probably add Qatar and Oman on that pile too for 2025..

  • There are only two types of games nowadays. Everything that isn't AAA is labelled "Indie", even when they're with major publishers and have three dozen devs and a hundred externals.

  • Yeah, because they don't want to fuck bi men. Whereas a bi woman obviously means he can get two at the same time!

  • These people are HUGELY concerned with bi and lesbian cis women. Just not like that.

  • Nah, religions mostly reflect on others, not themselves.

  • The US probes women and children all the time.

    Oh. That's not what you meant.

  • Dutch noises of approval

  • I don't really know any specifically leftist community here that takes action against tankies. Could you link me some?

  • The more they shoehorn copilot into everything, the more they can claim it's the most popular LLM ever and all those billions of dollars were totally not wasted. So please give me my huge bonus

  • They're .ml accounts, you shouldn't expect any reason from them.

  • Nah, if you hold arsenic in my general vicinity, I'll feel extremely emotionally uncomfortable, but physically fine.

  • flamethrowers

    Flamethrowers use oil products, which are part of petrochemistry. "Petro" comes from the Greek word for "rock".

  • (almost genocidal in it’s own right)

    Since they were specifically killed for who they were, there's a very solid argument to be made for leaving "almost" off

  • Welcome to 2026, where "kill", "obese" and "predator" are swearwords.

  • Google search, youtube and android at least make owners money. ChatGPT just burns dumptrucks full of cash just to create the option to burn more cash.
