It solves the problem of hospitals being overwhelmed and people dying because of it.

You can still buy alcohol and drink it at home. I mean you can order as much alcohol as you like online, delivered to you the same day.

It totally makes sense to restrict alcohol in public during a heatwave.

China will turn socialist any minute now…

Bonjour m’appelle je suis Dad.

Kinda everyone smokes in France, it’s just not legal so people are not open about it.

Only if you are not white enough. If you are white they don’t care at all.

You don’t own that piece of soil, the state allows you to have it and if tomorrow it decides you can’t have it anymore it will take it away from you.

It’s the same with the 30% Trump supporters left.

They are doing some religious thing, by projecting their wishes, hopes and dreams onto a person or political party. It stops being politics and becomes a magical believe system.

Which scares me, since that means one third of the population (and maybe more) are basically actively working against democracy on behalf of some leader figure or movement.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out MS is behind Euro-Office.

As I said it was one of the factors.

It doesn’t help when Turkey itself has a problem with racism and does a lot of authoritarian stuff that goes against the secular republic as it was envisaged by Atatürk. And of course by EU Standards the country isn’t ready to join the EU and I think it will take a lot of reconstruction after the abolishment of “Erdoganism”

Here is an example coming from Britain with what I mean.

This was the same feeling in Germany back then. And the Turkish minority in Germany is confronted with enough racism on a daily basis.

Here is a more notorious example from Germany.

It’s not just that, there were also a lot of racist undertones coming from Germany.

I followed that a lot back in the day and it was mostly Germany being afraid of Turkish people getting into the EU.

I looked it up, it seems that they are European - my bad.

Aren’t they already Chinese owned or am I wrong on that?

That’s what I don’t understand.

The US proletariat has been fully domesticated, they elected Trump twice and the only mass organised push back are people holding signs on weekends.

I would assume that it would be more comfortable to stay in the US.

Always funny how these things work.

“Democracy bad!” - “Can we get some government money now?”

I remember when browsers just showed text.

We should just throw away the web and do something new. Maybe Fidonet over Reticulum so we can use radio.

Now do the same with US gear and suddenly there are no options left.

Normally I would say at least the US are seen as allies, but I don’t think friendly countries are threatening to invade you.

Yeah, new labour was the fully coöptation of the socialist party by capitalism and machine politics.

Before that they were at least Democratic socialists so they tried to help the working class a little bit.

States spend a lot of energy to keep people from realising this.

Yeah, they should do an init system instead of reinventing an operating system.

That’s the main problem I have with it.

Of course advocates of systemd will say it’s modular, but there is some kind of capture process going on - you have to relay on the systemd solution, because it fits nicely into the systems ecosystem …
