I think when if it would have been evacuated in time there would still be news coverage

People just love reading and therefore clicking stories that tell them that electric cars are bad and they should just continue buying gas powered vehicles instead of considering a change

Same as with that tanker that burned out on the coast of the Netherlands with some EVs on board

A lot of stories where covering it in a way that implied the fire was because of those EVs when in the end the level where they were stored was among the very few that was still intact - but that didn’t make the news…

I mean the effects of climate engineering as pretty much impossible to predict completely. I’m not sure you can even rule out for sure that it’d effect Africa if they did some climate engineering in Alaska.

Even if you have most of the factors - with those kinds of things there’s always an off-chance that it interrupt bird migration and that fucks up something else and then suddenly it has an impact on air temperatures and a lot of stuff changes.

Relying on climate engineering instead of trying to prevent the catastrophe that’s coming is just stupid…

The problem is that newspapers were kind of the only means to get the news in a concentrated form - now they are obsolete since everyone gets their news pretty much live and when the newspaper would be out the next morning it’s already old

I don’t think it’s serious - they just know that they have their right wing supporters safe already and try to gain more votes in the center by looking more moderate

Yeah. Hamas is using the citizens of Gaza as human shield from day one. It was impossible to fight this way with 0 casualties. I was only asking how that person imagined an appropriate response if even a single dead person was too much.

Bibi should be gone today rather than tomorrow - but Israel clearly had a right to respond to what Hamas did and the fact that Hamas was playing dirty all the time makes it impossible to respond in a way that doesn’t cause civil deaths.

So the appropriate reaction to what Hamas did would’ve been what exactly? Waving the white flag and rolling over?

Twitter also has a very large captive audience - yet their advertisers are running away

Twitter is showing me that no matter how big and relevant a network is the big companies care more about not advertising next to Nazis than about advertising in a popular space.

I’m hopeful that it’ll stay that way and the only ones advertising there will be those that are already supporting trump and that it’ll only cost them money by people boycotting their products.

Even if he wins the presidency he’s for sure not winning the popular vote and also for sure not winning the reasons most interesting for advertisers. Not sure that bet is going to hold up well in the end

Handel fällt ja nicht unter die Amnestie - Dealer sind weiterhin kriminell und werden verfolgten

Arbeitet hart daran die unrühmliche Rolle von Franz von Papen zu wiederholen…

No

He’s looking weak and the constant change of story in the days after it happened don’t look as if it was prepared

The company will pay eventually - it’s mostly about making the money available as soon as possible before the legal responsibilities are cleared up

As a German I’m proud of our constitution, too, and I think it does a great job at making it as hard as possible for something like the Nazis to easily happen again.

That doesn’t mean that it was perfect all the time and is unchangeable.

I think it’s insane how the US things their constitution is the pinnacle of democracy - especially since it was the first one and others iterated on our

Because Isis being able to attack inside Russia paints him as weak and doesn’t even give the option to retaliate.

If you spin it so Ukraine is behind it you can at least count on more people supporting the war against them

Didn’t a lot of western countries warn their citizens to not attend any public gatherings in Moscow a couple of weeks ago due to an imminent Isis attack?

Especially with those with 1000s of subscribers - how are people fooling themselves into thinking that they don’t have someone answering their messages for them?

Some of the most popular ones have whole crews for filming - why should social media be something they do on their own?

I kind of get it for the ones with few subscribers though

You know how many people in Germany that weren’t died because of the bombings?

If your government starts a war you have to pay the price.

Why is noone calling Hamas to surrender?

Sure Israel is definitely able to be more careful and their right wing ministers are only adding fuel - but that doesn’t really change their right to defend themselves (and Hamas is still attacking them each day)

That whole situation is a total clusterfuck and I really wish Israel would get rid of netanyahu and vote for someone that’s interested in a long term solution that’s including Palestine.

Yeah

Israel had every right to defend themselves against the Hamas but what he and his far right ministers are doing and saying is making it really hard to support them and believe that it’s really only an attempt to eradicate Hamas and not also about expanding Israel as they do in the Westbank for years.

They are really making it almost impossible to support the legitimate cause of rescuing hostages and security their population from Hamas and are actively fuelling antisemitism through the anti-zionism they provoke

I’m not vegan but I severely limited my meat consume in the last years (for environmental reasons) and it’s really the other way round.

When I’m in a restaurant with someone and order something without meat 9/10 times I have to explain myself. And most of the times people are telling me that they couldn’t forego meat as they like it too much…

Perfect example of the antisemitism channeled by this war…

Same kind of bullshit of asking a random Muslim on the street to denounce IS when they bombed something…
