And Apple, if they comply.

There’s a reason flights are so cheap compared to to rail, and it’s not good news for anybody except the CEOs of airline companies. TLDR: they’re subsidised and the fuel is subsidised to artificially price them below public transport. We could have cheap or even free public transport if we wanted using the same method.

I believe him

But not Palestine I bet. Thanks for showing us who you are, Germany.

It’s hard to call that one misinformation outright, since the translation turned out to be correct. But the video of the woman saying those words was clipped short until they released the full version, which is obviously not good enough at all on the part of the BBC.

I also noticed an unusual statement by them in an article shared here on Lemmy https://lemmy.world/comment/18624554

I can’t find a record of the (pretty serious) mistranslation you mentioned.

It’s great to see people speaking out from inside about serious bias. Reuters and BBC are two publications that (I thought) had better reputations prior to this.

That’s not the point. This is about legitimising the Russian regime in the eyes of millions, and normalising war crimes in a time of sanctions.

A reminder to anyone who might need it: people cosplaying as transgender do not represent or reflect actual transgender people.

Sky News is trash. Surely a better publication has covered this story.

It’s a great cover. Best of luck with the book, I plan to read it!

I think Neville Dsouza is the digital artist https://www.goodartdesign.com/digital-paintings-by-neville-dsouza/

I looked at their post and comment history and didn’t see any clear issue like you mentioned. In fact, what I saw contradicted your claim.

If they crosspost to other (relevant) communities, that’s not spam. Being efficient and working quickly does not make someone a spammer either.

I see people here in the comments have given you the opportunity to give specific evidence to back up your claims and you haven’t.

We each moderate our own communities to the best of our ability, with limited time. The post that you complained about was a legitimate article: no disinformation, no spam.

Insulting people who disagree with you does not help your own credibility. And if you don’t like disinformation, then you shouldn’t be calling the moderators Russian without some evidence. Slava Ukraini.

Authoritarianism is rising in Britain https://eurosjournal.com/difference-between-totalitarianism-authoritarianism-fascism/

We should be sending troops at this stage.

That’s the thing. We have a foresight Americans don’t necessarily have and we’re still making a mess. It’s an even more damming reflection of our society.

Less is better than more, but like the occupied territories bill here in Ireland it’s intentionally weak and ineffective. Sanctions are what is needed in times of genocide, such as in apartheid South Africa. Sending them weapons (even less) is not a sanction.

I can understand your fatigue. I have personally always respected Germany for being open about their past, unlike our neighbours in Britain who celebrate the leaders of their atrocities.

But I think if you are tired of the trope then you should ask why it is still relevant. The entire EU is complicit, but Germany are the ring leaders here. “Never again” has become “many one more time”.

I wonder if this works for cigarettes too. If I smoke half a pack each time will I avoid the consequences?

Germany is going to be in our school books again for a whole new (and almost identical) reason.

“These groups started in China, but BBC News has identified members now active across the world, including in the UK.”

I find it hard to believe that sadism of any type started in one specific place.

The way western leaders and citizens are carrying on as normal is bizarre. So yes, many things are odd in this context.
