Yes that stop using Facebook posts and tweets as a new source. plus there quite a few independents, that will take your average MSM online articale and take it to pieces with an hour or so's worth of actual investigative journalism.
Your Daily mail's, Guardian's, New York times, Foxes and CNNs etc are only really interested in spinning a sensationalist narrative and feeding peoples confirmation bias.

So often the worst tyrannies were formed up in the name of meaning it oho soho wehell with mankind.


I am certain it is politically wanted censorship that is not to be called censorship. Instead of offering a flank for criticism, they do not openly censor things, but tighten the ways in which you can express opinions, they tailor speech and alnguage and mob against unwanted terminology, and when replacing censorship with this kind of manipulation, they even reward an economic Nobel prize for it to raise its credibility and reputation: its called "nudging", and yes, work on it was awarded with an Nobel prize recently.



You think the new laws and my rant have nothing to do with each other? Think twice.


I hate moralists. They are the worst of them all.

Ahh yes forgot about your thread SB, ta.
for whats its worth, you can email your MEP regarding the matter here (I already did it) I have little faith in EU MEP's, but - better than doing/saying nothing.

Its pointless to complain to a fat cat about the system and its legislation, if said fat cat made it its living model to live of this very system and designed it to be supportive for the fat cat's life.

In Germany, the SPD scored jzust 15% or so at last elections, record low. Parties in Germany must not finance themselves by their member'S fees, but everybody mandatoprily get forced to pay them an income that they can waste for their stupid campaign propaganda and such stuff. The rules say that the amount of money is linked to the scoring in last elections. Now, the SPD has suffered in elections, and thus gets much less money now. Too little for thier high flying ambitions to appear as if they still were a great player, so they just demanded that the fiancing pf parties under this mechanism should b e raised from 160 to 185 million Euros. The CDU did not suffer, but likes to get more mandatory payments even from people strictly opposing them , so they agreed. And thats why ther SPD now gets much more money while they scored badly, and the other sget more money as well, and they whipped this through parliamentin the shadow of the football cup, like they often try to do with critical, unpopular decisions. You think complainign does help?

People need to become disloyal to the state and its institutions, people need to boycott state and parties, people need to start to think. Thats why politicians love to lure people with more and more gifts and ficnial supports that they have plundered and robbed form other people: they want to keep people in dependency, so that they do not become disloyal, but become little fat cats themselves.

This is the reral reaosn behind Bismarck'S sorcial insurrance reform, becasue before there were private worker social wellgfare and education clubs that he saw as a potential farming ground for oppositional thinking to his autocratic state. Bismarck once wrote a friend that the only reason why the servants do not slay their masters - he meant his own political caste - was that thy had their own pensions at risk. So he made it that the workers had something at risk as well: he lured them into a state insurrance that cared for their years of higher age and their times of illness, so that they would not dare to bite the hand that fed them.

And like that it is until today, and thanks to paper forged money that can be inflated without limits (and at the known economical long range costs which are "collapse", plain and simple) they push it from bad to worse, from worse to worst.

Zum Kotzen: Voter bribery.

Zum Kotzen: Voters that all too willingly accept to get bribed.

In the end any election is just the High Mass of robbers and plunderers, and nothing gets given in "democracy" of modenr understanding that is not loot and plunder that was stolen from somebody before.

Complaining letters do not do anything. They are just the valve they designed to channel the anger of the occasional critics into formats where it cannot harm them and the system that they nestle in like in a nest.

Hopefully the MEP's will see some sense for a change and reject this law.

@ Jim thanks!

@SB, While i agree with you on the whole In that you are probably right, complete surrender to nihilism is even more pointless.
Worst case scenario in writing to them is that it will get ignored and you wasted 15 minutes or so of your life. best case is that if enough people complain, that is more ammunition for those trying to block this bill. MEP's are not all of one hive mind.

I wonder if our state would follow the EU lead and regulate our meme posting too.

[JU_88]

To be fair enforcing this will be logistically impossible.
Governments try regulate the internet as if they have never heard of a VPN.

The word you meant is "mortal". "Deadly" means something very different.


Never mind, I just had to laugh loud.
