I share your distaste for these semi-native ads within the videos. However, I am not going to take down the post just based on that.
To complete the trifecta: They are/were also circumventing sanctions against Russia and use/used planes to ship stuff there rendering their climate promises moot.
When I first read your comment, I knew that DOGE was going to be more real/impactful than you seemed to realize. After all, there was Project 2025 and it spelled out that that Trump should drastically reduce people power and spending everywhere across the bureaucracy. I also knew that Trump gave a fuck about legalities and that his goal would be to lead autocratically (he literally said the thing about being a first-day dictator).
Here’s the things I didn’t know:
For the record: If you’re an American, I’d like to urge you to stand up and protest. At the rate it’s going, you won’t have much time to defend democracy. I’ve read Wapo yesterday and watched late-night shows – they’re all still sanewashing what is happening to some degree. They are still failing to mention the word “coup” and that’s extremely dangerous.
I remembered this comment & how it aged like fine milk.
I am kind of assuming you worry about DOGE now? Almost everything they do is illegal, but afaict the courts aren’t fast enough to prosecute any of it. Given another few weeks, there won’t be any judges willing to touch DOGE either. The only thing that could stop this is if Musk and Trump had a major fallout.
Apparently though, people still think they’ll continue to live in a democracy.
Right-wing tabloid Bild picked up the story in December when the Russian connection wasn’t known. So yeah.
You’re right in that the comments weren’t talking up the US Greens specifically and I did act a little hastily. However, I did also look at the things they post, they are pushing very different narratives in quick succession and they’re trolling a lot, especially in comments. This is a selection of just posts:
Both the election manipulation and the AI flag-truck meme I find rather irresponsible, especially when posted without comment. Similar for the pro-Trump article which in my eyes really needs commentary.
However, their comments don’t follow a single pattern, they are apparently not always trolling, and they do consistently say they’re from Texas.
Anyway, unbanning, I guess. Thanks to you too.

Wtf. They managed to mispell Annalena Baerbock four different ways, and they also mangled Kaja Kallas and Roderich Kiesewetter. They had no issue spelling Bundestag or Bundeswehr however. Do they hate all these people or did the writer lose a bet of some sort?

China’s energy use is still rising. In terms of g CO2e/kWh, yes, they’re transitioning rapidly. But in terms of total CO2e emitted, China’s footprint is still expanding – unless there’s an economic crisis (like the recent excess housing/tofu dreg crisis).
Part of the reason for that is that China’s primary motivation for their use of wind/solar/batteries is economics, rather than the prevention of climate change or biodiversity loss.
In the late 2000’s, Chinese leadership realized that wind/solar/battery technologies could be viable worldwide, and that they could be optimized heavily. They also knew that, besides oil/gas imports being costly, they probably couldn’t ever import enough oil/gas to bring the Chinese average lifestyle up to the standard envisioned in their plan. And of course, they had massive smog problems—one important point was that during the 2008 Olympics, the government had many factories and coal plants turned off, to avoid national embarrassment over the level of smog in Beijing. So they heavily invested in this stuff, Chinese companies became market leaders, yada.
The US is on a anti-democratic trajectory. But no, calling it a dictatorship, at this moment, is wrong.

I am not at all a car person, but Model 3 and Model Y seem like two extremely similar cars that were developed quite closely alongside each other. The biggest difference is probably the sales margin.
I’d guess that over 95% of those at the protests will also vote. The issue is that even if there are 1 million protesters, there 82 million non-protesters in Germany.
Modern day Germans themselves say Hitler’s style is very comical.
As a modern-day German, I can confidently say that the thought of Hitler being comical per se has never crossed my mind. You can, however, take elements from his style and exaggerate them to make them become comedic, but that’s not Hitler, that’s Chaplin.
As a modern-day comparison and for someone who took a lot of cues from Hitler’s rhetoric and style: I wouldn’t say Trump that is comedic either, even though a lot of things about him are completely ridiculous.
The Mein Kampf is basically incoherent ramblings.
I haven’t read the book but yeah, it’s not supposed to be good or particularly entertaining. Repetitiveness, contradictiveness, and incoherence are not the hallmarks of comedy though.
It says “users’ data”, not “people”. Not sure why you’d suggest otherwise. Italy is protecting against a Chinese company collecting personal data from Italians.
Actually a fifth, and it’s not Germans but just German voters. But yeah, otherwise, true.
I wouldn’t have thought that you of all commenters here were going to dig that kind of hole for yourself. Yikes.
