Is there literally any evidence that the US government managed to extract useful information from no-log vpn providers in the US?

What are you on about? You can just turn off auto updates or revert back to previous versions.

Impressive how you write with total conviction, yet are utterly wrong.

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “Marx loves you, do you believe in Marx?”

He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Socialist or an Anarchist”? He said, “A Socialist.” I said, “Me, too! Democratic Socialist or actual Communist?” He said, “Actual Communist.” I said, “Me, too! What school?” He said, “Marxism.” I said, “Me, too! Revolutionary Marxism or Reformist Marxism?” He said, “Revolutionary Marxism.” I said, “Me, too! Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism or Revolutionary Marxism-Troskyism?” He said “Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism.” I said, “Me, too! Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, or Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Hoxhaism?” He said, “Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.” I said, “Me, too! Regular Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Maoism or Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Maoism-Gonzalo Thought?” He said, “Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Maoism-Gonzalo Thought.”

I said, “Die, liberal!” and pushed him off.

Europe doesn’t have the political will to support Ukraine alone long term. If Trump pulls out it will force Ukraine into peace negotiations

Foreign policy seems to just not be very relevant to the average citizen. The effect probably is there, sure, but it’s marginal at best. Really egregious things can be significant, like actual wars and such, but hypocrisy is not material.

“Hypocrisy” may be relevant to Lemmy commenters but it’s not of material concern to geopolitics.

Only if you’re among the first wave

Chinese company still owns a stake in Hinkley Point C they just refuse to provide more funding because it has turned into giant shitshow. I don’t think they’ll be too upset of at least unloading those bags onto the Brits.

You are hereby sentenced to brick to pipi

Often times those shares can be used as leverage for a loan providing the shareholder with the quality of life of a billionaire without ever paying the taxes on earning the billions.

How are those loans repaid?

You posted an outdated picture without explanation

It’s not outdated, it shows the current constitution of European parliaments.

and now you changed your own description of what point you’re trying to make (“uniquely fertile ground” vs “uniquely far right”)

IT’S NOT THE SAME EXACT WORDS!!! Wow you totally got me there. It’s not like they mean basically the same thing in the context of this argument. “You changed the words, so you changed the argument” is a child’s understanding of language.

No, I don’t see how an outdated picture that doesn’t reflect the current reality proves or refutes anything.

What current reality? Poll numbers don’t necessarily translate directly to votes, and even if we assume that the AfD will gain about 18% in the next election, that still underlines my point because Germany would be situated comfortably in the middle, between Portugal and Finland.

For the record, again, I don’t necessarily disagree with you, I don’t think Germany has unique circumstances or w/e that make it especially vulnerable to far right ideology. I just think you’re doing an awful job and bringing your point across.

I’m not writing a PhD dissertation, I was lying in bed with my phone and just copied the link because I had seen the image just the other day and knew exactly where to find it. You’re on Lemmy, get off your high horse.

And now I’ll stop replying with multiple paragraphs to your one-line comments, obviously you’re not putting much effort into them.

Thank fucking god. Everyone who has read this thread is worse off for reading your substanceless comments, you have contributed absolutely nothing except impotent attempts at finding some kind of gotcha. Please refrain from commenting anywhere, forever, so we are all spared your boring, irrelevant mental excretions.

You don’t see how other countries having similar or more popular far right parties is proof that Germany is not uniquely far right?

It proves exactly what I just wrote?

That’s irrelevant, the idea that modern day Germany is uniquely fertile ground for far right parties is easily disproven

Far right parties in Europe:

The fuck are you talking about? The historians who investigated the origins of this photo conclude that it is likely to be staged. It’s completely irrelevant when the US entered WWII

The Holocaust Memorial Museum disagrees.

USHMM historians suspect that the protest march has been staged for the March of Time camera. People appear to pose for the camera, speeding up to get into the frame and practicing. There were quite a number of anti-interventionist groups on the left and the right at the time. However, the only references to the “American Union for Organization Against War” relate to this film, and the “organization” does not show up in any of the literature of isolationist groups from the period.

That image is very likely to be fake, btw.
