RIP Simple mobile apps. You were amazing while you lasted.

A kind reminder from Germany: If anyone tells that they "didn't know what they were getting into" and that "it didn't seem as bad, they cant really mean it" and "time in power will pacify them and they won't push through with their claims" - we already had this story and these excuses. I hope that we all can prevent the fascists from getting into power. I really don't want stuff I've read in history books to repeat in my lifetime. The more people know about P2025, the better - but to be honest I fear that most will just ignore it and go on with their day.

Ich habe Sorge, dass es wieder nach dem Motto "SPD plant, Union sagt nein, SPD lässt es fallen" ablaufen könnte. Ich hoffe wirklich, hier positiv überrascht zu werden :/

Well, it is obviously a special military operation to denazify and demilitarise the terrorist militia of other country, because it threatens peace and security. /s

Seriously, isn't this like called a war declaration or something? If you bomb another country and move in troops and kill civilians?

Ah, I just today in the morning blocked Lemmy.ml. Seems to have been interesting timing :)

I think the concept of a sports coach at an university is inteeresting in general. At Europe and the colleges here it doesn't really matter which sports team your institution has as long as it offers good education. It is always interesting to see that for whatever reason it can be different.

My eyes...

That's it, I want to cancel my subscription of humanity

Ich wünsche ihm viel Erfolg.

Alter Verwalter - diese Argumentation wäre vor 10, vielleicht noch vor 5 Jahren irgendwie nachvollziehbar. Die AfD ist aber eine gesichert rechtsextreme Partei. Ihr Parteiprogramm richtet sich nachgewiesenermaßen in seiner überwältigenden Mehrheit gegen die FDGO - als selbsternannter Bürgerlicher, welcher die Verfassung verteidigt, muss man die rote Linie aufrechterhalten, solange noch kein PRÜF-Verfahren eingeleitet ist.

Bürgerliche doing Zentrum speedrun again

Ich finde es ebenso unfassbar. Es macht mich wütend, zu sehen, was meine Regierung hier auf die Beine steht - und das sage ich als SPD-Mitglied. Von der CSU habe ich leider nichts anderes erwartet - ich verlange aber, dass die progressiven Parteien das deutlich mehr kritisiert und es als die menschenfeindliche Politik bezeichnet, welche es auch ist.

Ist es dann nicht so ein Wort, was mit A beginnt und mit exion endet oder so?

Ah, stimmt, sind ja die USA. Die transatlantische Partnerschaft steht über allen Zweifeln erhaben, also ist es eine friedensstiftende militärische Intervention.

Ich kann nicht mehr :/

Yes, I agree. In the end, Reddit lives off its reputation, just like every social media platform. Seriously, is there an effect that when you're long enough the CEO of a company, you begin making decisions where it is obvious that they will negatively impact the user base and thus long-term survivability of a company? Is there a term for that?

Fun fact: The nowadays conservative (and IMO right leaning) German CDU has originally considered capitalism to be the reason for outbreak for WW2. They wanted to form a new Christian Socialism, which would've united Christian ideals with a socialistic (not marxistic) economy. The so-called Kölner Erklärung was written in 1945 as a basic idea for where Germany should head from perspective of the CDU.

These ideas didn't last for long and got replaced by a conservative fiscal policy. But it is good to keep in mind that even in the CDU there were people who recognized that capitalism ultimately has a strong tendency to fuel fascism. In Nazi Germany, the main capitalists worked closely with the NSDAP - Krupp, Bosch, Hugo Boss (who famously designed the Nazi uniforms), Volkswagen were all lead by rich capitalists who saw (and gained) profit by the actions of the Nazis. It makes me sad that even the SPD, the so-called Social Democratic Party, long forgot what it means to fight for socialism and equality, and instead embraces neoliberalism with a touch of social politics.

Ah, the city everyone in France hates

Signed: Bordeaux

One of my classmates did the Hitler salute and exclaimed "Heil Hitler" - an expression which is (rightfully) penalized in Germany, where I live.

The guy was a son of our local police officer.

He didn't got expelled, but he had a very stern talk with our school director. I presume that it was made clear to him that if this ever happens again, he's out. From what I heard last, in the last few years he was really ashamed of what he did when he was younger. I sincerely hope he is doing okay now - he got into the police, and people like him who recognize that being right isn't cool are needed.

Coincidentally my school is in Dessau; our city is well-known for producing Zyklon B, a lethal gas used in KZs across Germany, and a "case of sudden self-igniting" of a migrant called Oury Jalloh in a police cell. Obviously all the camera footage of that cell randomly broke down, there was blood found in the dining room and the guy didn't have anything to lit himself on fire with. But that all obviously is just a coincidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not a good city to do the Hitlers salute in (if there ever was any, which - surprise - doesn't), tbh.

Stanley!! Most relaxed flight of my life.

That is really interesting! Thank you for sharing, I learned something new :)
