This is the best comment I read on the topic on Lemmy. Thank you for making a great point and not bluntly resorting to antisemitism.

So is the US and lots of other countries.

The first stanza is not officially banned but it’s only really sung by nazis or edgy teenagers.

France is a good example. They invest billions in their nuclear power. Still, their infrastructure is old and they can’t seem to build new reactors. It’s a money sink while “dumb renewables” are the cheapest most spammable energy source we ever had.

I answered a very similar comment a little further down:

I’m not claiming it was smart to leave nuclear before coal. It wasn’t. But it is what happened and it was decided two decades ago. Nuclear is done in Germany and there is no point discussing it further. New reactors were not going to happen either way.

The old reactors could have been used until their end of life, yes. The effects are exaggerated though. Nobody was going to build new ones. Not even France who rely heavily on nuclear energy has new reactors.

It won’t have been long for a long time now. It’s not a feasible concept to rely on a maybe. We need massive amounts of clean energy now and the way to do that now is water, wind and solar. If these wonder reactors are one day reality that’s great.

I wish you were right, but you are not. Those reactors don’t exist.

That’s true. The original plans for phasing out nuclear energy encompassed huge investments in renewable energy. The government Merkel II then decided to keep using nuclear and not invest in renewables, then decided a year later to leave nuclear again without investing in renewables. That little maneuver not only cost huge amounts of compensation for the big energy companies but also nuked (haha) the German wind and solar industry to the ground.

Nuclear power is expensive and slow to build. Wind and solar are much, much cheaper and quicker.

Same. I’m sure the rest is not bad but I can’t get into it. Ten is absolute perfection.

It may not be the biggest by area, but it sure is a long boy.

Piss off “the Jews”? Can we please condemn Israels violence without antisemitism?

Aggressive DRM mostly punishes paying customers. The game will probably be cracked anyways.

Those are rare exceptions and it should only be done after puberty AND if it can’t be resolved conservatively AND the person consents to the surgery. That’s something else entirely than doing it to children.

German laws allow swastikas in media under freedom of art and/or education. So depending on the context, it is legal in games. Foreign video game companies just don’t want to take any risk and have their game blocked because of nazi symbolism so they rather just remove it than hope the courts see their game for the form if art it may be.

Don’t dehumanize people ever, please. War crimes need to be pointed out and punished, but neither nazi nor subhuman is a reasonable accusation.

It’s really damn complicated. There is so much history to this conflict. I honestly don’t know what Israel’s best move would be.
I just think there has to be a way to have less civilian casualties. People are suffering greatly in Gaza and it somehow needs to stop.
On the other hand I understand that the Israeli government has to react to the Hamas attacks. Hundreds of innocents were slaughtered and Israel is surrounded by enemies. Constantly in danger. They need to make sure nobody else dares to attack.

In a perfect world they would (or rather: could) treat Gaza like the US treated Germany after WWII. But I’m afraid even with massive humanitarian and economic help there would still be terror and violence from Hamas. This conflict is too old and too dogmatic to be solved in a matter of weeks or even years.

Look around in this thread - even people who don’t have any personal stakes in the conflict have such radical options about it. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to be a Palestinian or Israeli who has lost family members to this.

Jewish people are attacked on the streets, synagogues are being attacked and smeared with swastikas etc.
You can condemn that and still think Israel is making a mistake in Gaza.
