When you have to resort to attack your opponent by using their post history you know that either you lost or you dont have any real argument.
“Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon”

Is it due to both countries having Muslim enemies? (Palestine/Pakistan)
Bit of an off topic question but I had this question for some time now.

I’m used to it, it’s half the fun
Eeeh kinda valid take but it varies from European country to European country, some so called European democracies have lower freedom of the press scores than some so called dictatorships, prime examples being Italy and Hungary. Just a month ago the Italian courts have frozen the bank account of an alternative media outlet (VisioneTV), just to quote an example.

frippa@lemmy.mlto GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml•What is this, comrades? Has anyone read this? Is it any good?0·9 months agoFrom personal experience I can say that the stock market of less financialized economies (like China, and to a lesser extent Germany) aren’t that good for investing. As a proof just look at the performance of the US stock market (most financialized economy in the world) against the stock market of virtually any other country, you’ll find out that the US stock market very often performs better. At the expense of the real, material, economy.
(Just to clarify I’m neither a financial expert nor a big investor, just somebody who’s saving for retirement since the pension system in my country is a complete joke)

What are you going to do about it? Complain more on the same internet invented mostly by the country you hate?

Ukraine is in blue, the parts occupied by Russia are in green and the “huge and glorious” ukrainian advance into Kursk is in yellow.
frippa@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Analysis: China’s clean energy pushes coal to record-low 53% share of power in May 20240·11 months agoYea, wish we had a green race just like we had a space race during the 1st cold war, at leadt something useful would come out of it.
The liberal veneer of civility goes away in the moment you criticize their idols.they cant fathom somebody that doesn’t like mr joe “saviour of the world” biden or mrs kamala “sent here by god himself” harris since they live in political ecochambers, so the only possibile explanation is that Russia pays a bunch of people to post normal people’s opinions online (most people are not hardliner diehard democrats)

frippa@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•EU limits anonymous cash payments to €3k and all cash payments to €10k. Pirate party reacts.0·1 year agoHow will they enforce it? I’m sure big/medium businesses will comply, but how can you track a cash transaction between private citizens?
Furthermore in the country where I live (Italy, one of EU founding members) more than 60% of independent professionals (partite iva) evade/elude taxes in some way or another, and it’s very common (so common that every Italian experienced it many times in their lives, me included) for small businesses and professionals to offer you a slight discount if you pay cash under the table (no receipt, so no taxes) and, even if we have an entire police force dedicated to financial crimes, the submerged economy is just so big that they can’t deal with it now, imagine when they’ll have to arrest/fine everybody that accepts more than €3000 in cash.
What somebody writes on a piece of paper and what happens in the real world are 2 very distinct things, many stores in Italy don’t accept credit cards even if it’s against them law, and only a minuscule fraction of them gets fined.
The EU has extremely nazi-esque control on the private financial life of its citizens (the state monitors your bank account, to open a bank account you need to give every info about u in the future they’ll ask for your DNA probably, if you withdraw/deposit a “suspect” amount of money our IRS will come after your ass, ane you need to prove your innocence basically guilty untill proven otherwise, ecc, there are a thousand examples, I’m sure EU citizens can relate) but I can’t see how they’ll be able to track pieces of paper.
TLDR I can’t even see how they will be able to enforce this law, especially when we talk about small businesses/independent contractors, and the situation gets even funnier when its a transaction between 2 private individuals.
