There's also been huge waves of spam account attacks on Mastodon recently.

Which is just another reason why the aversion to immigration on display by such large parts of EU society at the moment is just so freaking dumb and counterproductive.

Women love him, fish fear him, fish women have conflicting feelings.

The universe is big enough to be able to handle that. Earth's orbit less so.

Why do people consider bigger age gaps a problem? Because there's often a difference in maturity and experience that makes it harder to communicate, have the same goals and often puts the younger party at risk of being taken advantage of.

So if you think that the thing the age gap is a stand in for, a gap in maturity, doesn't apply, there's also no reason to get hung up on the number and mistake the map for the territory.

I think it's good that you're questioning yourself though and you should probably keep being a bit cautious about the situation and reevaluating yourself until you can be certain you two are on the same level.

Gut, das gleiche Argument könnte man aber auch über Steuerzahlungen machen. Ist also eher die Frage, ob es überhaupt ein bedeutungsvolles Nimm ist und ob es für ein "freies Land" festmachbare Grenzen gibt oder ob hier nur uneinlösbare Utopien verhandelt werden.

"Weather chaos" is one hell of a euphemism.

Wie süß. Der denkt, er würde in Zukunft noch mit irgendwem koalieren, statt unter der 5%-Hürde zu versauern.

Fucking weirdos. Let people determine their own fate. That's the essence of democracy.

As always there will be a lot of wailing about how the CDU/FDP could violate their supposed principles of not working together with the AfD and very little discussion about how it can be that the CDU/FDP are the ones that repeatedly find themselves in situation of substantial political alignment with the AfD in the first place. Such a weird coincidence.

If we rightfully accept the AfD to be absolutely vile it's about time the mainstream political discourse stops letting its closest political neighbours get away with some performative declarations of distance and start a discussion about how the rot sits right there are the policy level.

Sind sie das denn? Ist zB jemand, der in einem Nazi-Unfeld aufgewachsen ist und kaum ein anderes Weltbild vermittelt hat, genauso für seine Ansichten verantwortlich, wie jemand, der in einer offeneren Gesellschaft aufgewachsen und trotzdem diese Einstellungen entwickelt hat? Ist es Zufall, dass solche Ansichten in bestimmten gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Verhältnissen eher gedeihen als in anderen?

Natürlich steckt da auch immer ein sehr großer Teil Eigenverantwortung mit drin, aber ich denke tatsächlich, dass man das auf beiden Seiten nicht verabsolutisieren und auch anerkennen sollte, dass das Problem z.T. auch eine strukturelle Komponente hat, die struktureller Lösungen bedarf.

Wäre ja auch irgendwie komisch wenn, Abwanderung mit eingerechnet, es sich nur ganz zufällig sich so begeben hätte, dass in bestimmten Gebieten sich große Anteile alle ganz unabhäbgig von einander und in kompletter Eigenverantwortung für eine Sichtweise entschieden hätten, in anderen aber nicht.

Nobody is surprised. The FDP knows exactly what they're doing, which is make as much politics blatantly in favour of their donors as long as they're in power. They don't care about what that does to the general populace or even how they're perceived for it. One or two elections later everyone will have basically forgotten about it again anyway and the whole shtick repeats.

Nur weil generative KI größtenteils Buzzword-Müll ist, sollte man mMn vorsichtig sein, dass jetzt rückwirkend auf alle KI-Technologien anzuwenden. Ich kann mir schon vorstellen, dass so eine eher klassische Muster erkennendr KI hier schon was bringen kann.

Wenn du tatsächlich konstruktiv sein möchtest, könntest du jetzt auch erklären, wo hier die Vereinfachung ist und was genau daran falsch ist. In der jetzigen Form unterscheidet sich dein Post auch nicht wirklich von einem wahllosen Buhruf aus der zweiten Reihe.

Rebelling against a blockade by slaughtering civilians is still awful and terribly misguided though. It's hard to see how someone who exclusively wants to fight for freedom and fair conditions would ever consider that an acceptable idea.

Which is at least less than all the other big platforms are taking.

My judgement is that he's still kinda bad, but also probably the best president the US had in decades.

Innocent human lives. (Which the Jsraeli government is of course also carelessly discarding. But that's why I think Sanders' position is the most reasonable. We should definitely demand Israel greatly reduce the military force it's exerting, but a total ceasefire might not be entirely realistic)

Okay, and what would "incredibly enforcing it" look like in your opinion?

You could establish longer criminal sentences. But longer sentences generally don't have a higher deterent effect and you just end up with people who have been isolated from society longer or are harder to integrate.

You could make it easier to arrest people/have criminal proceedings, but that will also mean more innocent people will be subjected to harsh measures and grow disdainful of the police.

You could increase police presence in general. But that is also likely to harbour mistrust and have more people subject to unfair scrutiny and would probably to little to prevent the crimes we are talking about here.

And mind you, all these measures will be much more likely to target migrants who already might have a not too rosy view of law enforcement and general society, so you're always risking exacerbating the same societal issues that are also contributing to the crimes.

So what exactly would you suggest?

"2.0" impliziert ja auch meist ein Update oder eine Modernisierung. Diese Partei ist aber wohl eher Sammelbecken für Reaktionäre und Hängengebliebene, die sich halt grob im Linken Spektrum einordnen.
