  • How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration?

  • I watched those 2 channels some time ago too. I think they've become more and more CCP-critical over time though. I remember their videos almost 10 years ago being quite uncritical. They definitely couldn't put their current content out if they still lived in China.

    I think the crux of it is though that they were Youtubers, their critical views were for outsiders/foreigners, not for the average Chinese douyin/youkou user and as such were less relevant for 公安. Chinese people couldn't watch those if they weren't using a VPN.

    In the same vein, if you were making death threats against the current administration you'll likely get in trouble if you do it on Facebook or TruthSocial. But it would most likely fly completely under the radar if you did it in Mandarin and posted it on TikTok/Douyin. Censors can't censor what flies over their head.

  • (As a German living here) I doubt it. It's bad but it's still not China-level bad - and even in China they don't arrest literally everyone. If you're a foreign national living in the US however, you should be a bit more careful.

  • Which European accumulated ETF to ECA?

    Jump

  • There's only 3-4 big EU-Eurozone-Europe ETFs, I'm sure you can figure out which one suits you in about 10 minutes research 😅 At least that's how long it took me to decide what to swap my VOO for.

  • Well done, Denmark

  • I don't think that's quite right. Products here usually always have their country of origin either on the product label itself or on the price label if it's unpackaged produce. Sure, it's extremely easy to pick the made-in-China garlic at a grocery store thinking it was grown in Germany, but usually you find a European-alternative for, in this case garlic, in the organic/Bio section.

  • Tbh, how likely is it that two big ships with sonar, radar, radio communications and (possibly impaired) visibility on both sides collide by freak accident? Impossible, no of course not. But likely? Very unlikely...

  • Insane headline, considering the article. Didn't expect such a bad take from the Kyiv Independent.

  • Companies still making business in Russia

    Jump

  • Not surprised at all that not a single Chinese company has exited the Russian market. Quite shocked however, that over 200 German SMEs still haven't exited the Russian market.

  • I realize the media can and does sometimes frame politicians in the worst light possible. But my god, seeing full sessions, not just short clips of the current president and vice president (especially the Selensky debacle in the White house)... they really are acting like comic-book stooges in front of cameras

  • Gotta correct you there. The internet has its roots in the 1970s Arpanet (and maybe even earlier projects). You're thinking of the World Wide Web (Webpages, HTML, HTTP) that came with Tim-Berners Lee but is built upon the pre-existing internet structures and services.

  • EU plans to deport more migrants, create 'return hubs'

    Jump

  • This isn't Reddit, you don't have to reach boiling point just because you disagree with someone online. I have a German passport but my parents were "legal" immigrants from a non developed country. My wife is a "legal" immigrant (I'm not even mentioning skin colors because I think it's a stupid way of trivializing one's whole identity and life experience). They respected the conditions of moving to this country and they abided by them. But you call me a nazi because I don't agree with your idea of who should be conditionally allowed in our country or not.

    We went through the whole legal rigamarooo and I know how German civil servants can be painfully slow. You and me can clearly both agree that German authorities (I can't speak for other EU countries) cannot efficiently deal with the influx of illegal immigrants. But if I think that centralizing the process with EU funding is possibly a good thing, I'm a nazi.

    I never voted and never will vote for AfD but if you believe that someone from a warzone in the Middle East can simply make their way through the Balkans or North Africa and then the Mediterranean, choosing to claim asylum in a Western European country like Germany, after having passed half a dozen safe countries, where other Europeans go for a vacation, along the way, and throws away their identification papers to increase the processing duration of their asylum claim and make the possibility of a deportation is near impossible is unconditionally entitled to asylum - then we'll forever agree to disagree.
