It’s bad because it forces a monopoly. Once co.petition is out of the window, they will recoup with monopoly prices

And then when they came for you… joking no one intolerant enough to come for someone else was left.

Its a bit like italy: you have many right and left parties, but each one has some flavors (stance in different issues), so you vote for the right/left party that is more in line with you social and economical policies (or a part leader you like for personality).

Since there are many choices, and each party tries to get a slice if the electorate, its very hard for a single party to cather to the majority if the peoples.

So they form a coalition, and each party in the coalition pass what are the common points, and depending on how well they have done) compromise within the coalition to pass some if their agendas

Thats the problem though. The Spanish constitution explicitly says that the country is indivisible. Therefore any independence referendums are against the constitution/illegal. And that’s the reason why the proponent of the referendum are persecuted.

The next step should be to amend the constitution, but I’m not sure the rest of Spain would allow it

Veneto is more like Texas tbh

Not with Google help at least. Doing nothing though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8B0bWO9u3M&ab_channel=JohnnyHarris

On the other hand Facebook doing nothing literally spiralled Myanmar into ethnic cleansing.

So sometimes a bit of moderation is better

Islam is also Abrahamic.

Edit: the op comment is edited, so it might have used another word. Sorry if that’s the case

Current Belgian people != past Belgian people. And even then, it was mostly because of their super duper shitty asshole of a king

Can you link the proof? I am pretty certain he did indeed take US money, but I am unsure about the timeline between the money grant and the Ukrainian attack on the Russian fleet.

If this law passes, it will only galvanize more and more restriction. Never seen an extremist who took a finger and then didn’t ask for the whole arm.

What if thwy burn a tablet with the quran in it?

Private sector backlash != state backlash

Already on it: https://apnews.com/article/italy-restitution-parthenon-pope-colonial-fascism-ae23503c6847f0c36dcff5f88e894048

And already returned axum obelisks ifi recall correctly

I think its a bit too late for that. 40% of wealth is owned by the top 1%, and even if the remaining 99% own 60, most of that wealth is not available, but used for everyday necessities. So no, you cant outbid our out PAC billionaires anymore. Too much trickle up economy has been going on for too many years

I quite like Chromium. Maybe is my tinted glass when I just switched from Firefox/Explorer. The fact that your browser would pop up almost instantly instead of taking those 2-3 seconds to start was quite revolutionary (Firefox of course caught up quite soon on that regard, Microsoft had to adopt Chromium to do the same).

But yeah, the current bloatware and resouce gourging are quite bad when looking at it impartially.

I see a couple of ad “emails” entries in my promotion side of the inbox, usually in the 3-4 rows, and I also use both adblock + uorigin. Again, not really disrupting, because its usually a section of the inbox I dont go into too much, but I can see it being annoying for others

So far the only complaints I have is the lack of population (my teams communities are so small there is no real conversation going on), and some delays in these days. But tbh, both are to be expected, so I dont mind them too much. Really rooting for the instances admins ramping up the servers, and for people to migrate here.

Functionality wise, I was a bit confused by the federatization concept but it is pretty similar to reddit so except for creating the account it is pretty good!

Lobbies. The German “green” party if fully funded by Russia, which has a vested interest in keeping coal, but especially nat gas (which despite the CO2 emission is still labelled as “green”) being the primary source of energy.

I think that if they manage to fuck over the whole world, there is no amount of money and bunkers that can save them from the angry mob
