  • US government to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities in Europe

  • Providing intelligence is taking ACTIVE part in the genocide. Your comment claimed that UK government does not. Profiteering IS bad, you should remove the "might".

    I haven't talked about borders or the start of the conflict, you are confusing threads/users. But if you mention it to me, you should read about The Balfour Declaration

    The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British Government in 1917 during the First World War announcing its support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population.

  • Despite U.S. war threats, Venezuela sends humanitarian aid to hurricane survivors in Jamaica and Cuba.

  • USA will aid Jamaica in the form of touristic corporations that will privatize their land (most of Jamaica's beaches are already restricted to locals), massive cruise ships full of ignorant tourists, and all this will report net negative value to their citizens because its exploitative nature. But the GDP will go up

  • Brit gov is part of it:

    The government granted 108 licences for military and non-military controlled goods to Israel between 7 October 2023 and 31 May 2024, according to data released in June 2024.

    The Royal Air Force (RAF) has conducted at least 519 surveillance flights around Gaza since December 2023, an investigation by Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) for Declassified UK has found.

    There are many more examples but these are the most obvious.

    German Chancellor Friedrich Merz decided last week to partially suspend arms deliveries to Israel. Conservative lawmakers in the country are furious.

  • "It's a trap!"

  • As European you should be aware that this idea has been used in countries here. German and Swedish approaches have already been posted, and here is another: Austria offers Syrian refugees 1,000 euros to return home.

    As "Europeans" we need to get off our high horse and stop pretending we do things better.

  • European nations start process to impose 'snapback' sanctions on Iran

    Jump

  • France Germany and UK should stop this hypocrisy, and impose sanctions to Israel that, unlike Iran, hasn't signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, doesn't allow IAEA inspections and is commiting a genocide....

  • You said it yourself

    They lobby for everything they can get to benefit their business, and often get it. A lot of citizens want a better alternative but can't get it because Oil industry has corrupted our officials. They lie about the dangers of climate change. This and their lobbying makes it so that many citizens didn't (and still don't) know what kind of problem they are part of. Oil lobbies corrupted scientists, media and politicians so the uneducated and the not-so-uneducated thought that climate change was not real. Many of them now have realized their lies and we are all in our 100% legitimate right to blame them and fight them.

    The reason so many suburbanites complain about bike lanes it's because oil companies pay and spread propaganda that has convinced them that it will affect their lives negatively.

    A lot of people have to buy that metal box because there is no reasonable alternative, when your politicians, bought by oil lobbies, don't invest or even work against public transportation.

    And then there's people like you that, when people try to do better, criticize them because they have a infinitesimal part of the guilt.

  • Make yourself the question: how does genai respect these 3 boundaries set by IP law? All providers of Generative AI services should be forced by law to explicitly estate this.

  • Can citizens convince the EU commission to invest in opensource in this political climate?

  • In my university, computers in the public rooms all ran Mint, and we had a working self-hosted mail platform. Here comes Microsoft and in a few months all computers are replaced by Windows machines and the email platform runs on Outlook. My previous university also had the same approach: all Microsoft products. I'd really love to know all the details of those deals. I know they offer scholarships and fund development programs (in exchange they make students dependent / educated only on MS products), but I still feel its a loss of freedom for all our institutions.

  • I love how interconnected the whole Fediverse is. Spread the word and make Europe use Mastodon and Lemmy!

    Jump

  • Yes! It's a great thing! The next thing we should aim is to pass laws forcing Government instances (Germany and Netherlands already have) so politicians and institutions use those for their public/social media profiles and abandon X/Twitter/Threads and anything that isn't decentralized. The mention of Mastodon/Lemmy/Pixelfed in the media (when eg. journalists quote a politician) would attract more users to these platforms. I believe this is truly necessary if we want to keep democracy healthy and have our socials out of the control of crazy billionaires.
