  • Please explain it to me. And by that I don't mean a general explanation of how journalism works, because I probably know a whole lot more about that than you do, but an explanation of why you believe that the US, together with Israel, should not be held responsible for the murder of innocent children. And then I would also like to know what your motivation is for defending the current US regime, because I don't understand it.

  • This is likely a physical defense reaction against the prosecution of serious criminals who are waging a war to cover up their own misdeeds. Perhaps he should seek advice from Bibi.

  • Yes, I'm simplistic when it comes to this: I wouldn't accept being ruled by organized crime that covers up its heinous crimes by starting a war. But hey, it's nice that you know the names of two renowned psychologists.

  • I have given up hope that the US population can be counted on. They have allowed too many atrocities to happen, and it is equally obvious that they will not even act for their own sake.

    I simply do not accept arguments such as "there is no evidence," because only the worst can be expected from the US - the evidence is the president who leads the US.

  • Looking at the comments here, even here in the Fediverse, it's quite easy to understand how the US regime is possible despite its completely obvious depravity.

  • Of course it is tragic, heartbreaking even. But what bothers me about the term tragic in this context is that it makes it sound as if the deaths of these innocent girls were inevitable, as if they had been killed in a natural disaster for which no one is responsible.

    However, that is not the case here at all: these girls were murdered by ruthless criminals.

  • Is there such a thing as "megathreads" in the Fediverse? I'm asking because of current events, as many posts are repetitive and the discussion is therefore inconsistent.

    Jump

  • I didn't want to start a discussion about the pros and cons of megathreads, I just wanted to ask whether this is common practice in the Fediverse. That doesn't seem to be the case - and for good reason, given the decentralized nature of the network. For the sake of simplicity, it would be welcome for some topics, but I'm sure we'll manage just fine without it.

  • I'm on Piefed(.social). However, the discussion is still mainly taking place on Lemmy. If there is such a megathread on the war in Iran on .world, for example, I can't find it.

  • We really need to see that it is in our own interests to eradicate US lobbying. This also means that all EU politicians who have allowed themselves to be bribed must be removed from office.

    In my opinion, this includes the majority of politicians from established parties who have been in government in EU countries in the last 10 years.

    It is simply necessary to hold them accountable, as voters have rightly lost confidence in them. If there are no consequences, parties such as the AfD in Germany will prevail, which has "Alternative" in its name but absurdly tries to conceal the fact that it is nothing more than MAGA with that: a neo-Nazi party that propagates fascism and is controlled by the same billionaire financiers who helped Nazi ideology succeed in the US - for the same reasons: the realization of the omnipotence trauma of fascist billionaires.

  • This is not tragic, but a war crime - and this war is itself a crime, simply because it is completely contrary to international law.

  • TIL that Ayatollah Khamenei built a secret organization called BAYT. This organization is more powerful than the government and employs 40,000 people. The goal was to make sure killing him is useless

    Jump

  • Yes, and it's also great that the regime is setting up a secret police force with ICE that has a budget equivalent to the military spending of a medium-sized country...

    Seriously, how can any reasonably rational person accept this? Why doesn't the population paralyze the country with a general strike until this criminal regime is forced to resign? That would also be an opportunity to finally overcome the associated oligarchy and force through the reforms that have been necessary for ages. This includes a fundamental update of the constitution, which has not been updated for at least 150 years, something the US seems to be proud of for some inexplicable reason, which can only mean that this country is unaware that it is still celebrating a system of apartheid.

    The same applies to the rule that constitutional judges are elected for life - for obvious reasons, there is no other democratic country in the world that would adhere to this; likewise, there is no democratic country that has an electoral college system or similar that does not even take into account the population of a particular state.

  • Well, that may be one of the countless reasons why the US, under reasonably sensible leadership, has not attempted to attack Iran. Now it has come to pass because a pedophile, threatened by his heinous deeds catching up with him, decided to try it anyway in order to distract from the crimes he and his degenerate crew are committing - in open violation of international law as well as US law. He and his accomplices in Israel apparently trust that the US citizens will let him get away with it unpunished. How about it, US citizens - is that the case? Is there really no justice left in your country?

  • Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective.

  • Can someone explain this to me? I'm out of the loop when it comes to mainstream social media, and I suspect that's what this is about...

  • Does anyone else also have this weird feeling that maybe governments can already break into smartphones and this whole "we can't break into it" they tell the public is a facade?

    Jump

  • Thanks for pointing that out. I'll definitely take a look at that. It's remarkable how the US has managed to maintain an image of "freedom" for years, even though it uses autocratic surveillance methods not only only on any other country but on its own citizens - and also for years and years. You almost have to be grateful to Trump for revealing all this in such an incredibly stupid way, just to enrich himself.

  • In 2020, the European Court of Justice declared the Privacy Shield agreement, an agreement on data exchange with the US, incompatible with European law and thus effectively terminated it, not because of the activities of any corporations, but because data stored on US servers is not sufficiently protected from access by the US government (Schrems II ruling). The reason for this is the absurd legislation in the US, such as the Patriot Act, which, although it has been weakened, still allows the state to force any company or private individual to hand over all data processed on servers physically located on US soil, even without any suspicion or a court order.

    As a result, all US companies doing business in the EU were forced to operate servers on European soil in order to continue their activities legally. European companies that used US providers that did not comply had to switch to providers that do not operate servers in the US.

    Unfortunately, it took only 21 months for US lobbying to undermine the European Court of Justice's decision: in 2022, a follow-up agreement was adopted, the "EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework," which is no different from its predecessor at all. The legal situation remains the same in the US, and once again there is no protection of data from the US government.

    In short, anyone who uses services that are processed on US servers is not protected from arbitrary access by the US - and this also applies to EU citizens.
