Thats the system. Its designed like that. There are books depicting this stuff from 100 years ago.

You’re delusional.

First you outright lie about him having seriously injured people with a knife, now you try to spin this.

German police is infamous for its nazi chat groups and racial profiling. They cuffed and set a guy on fire. Nobody knows how he died but four bullets to the back is an execution in my book, period.

And most importantly, even if you were interested in just having nobody use words that arent the exact definition in the dictionary, that is the thing now. Picturing immigrants as vile, subhuman creatures, spinning facts in ways that have no connection to actual reality. And we’re discussing if shooting someone who is no threat to you four times in the back is an execution or not.

This discussion is over.

None. Thats my point. Cops shooting people in the back does not need a story. Its just murder. Even if that person were in the process (which he wasnt) of attacking someone else, shooting them in the back is likely going to injure the person you’re trying to save.

My point is start thinking instead of just believing a headline. Its not that hard.

Edit: and just so you know, you’re spreading misinformation. nobody was hurt by the knife. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todesfall_Lorenz_A. that is racist propaganda.

Holy shit. I didnt know it was that dire but I have to admit I am not that surprised either. Please stay safe if you’re in that country.

Thank you for coming to my aid. That person really has it out for me it seems.

You’re absolutely right. The person is trying to character assassinate me. They’re either really misunderstanding what I’m talking about or deliberately trying to smear me.

Of course you didnt because I said this in a sarcastic comment somewhere. As in, capitalism needs fascism as its whip.

Great. Of course I said this completely free of context. It was sarcasm, you jerk.

What do you mean? I’m talking about war propaganda. That has zero to do with ukraine.

Oh my god. You’re not buying that the cop “shot the guy 4 times in the back in self defense” bullshit, are you?

Very interesting indeed.

The beginnings are also obvious in germany and the EU, AGAIN.

We’ve already built concentration camps inside germany and on the eu borders. Immigrants are being hunted by the regular police and also militias. One was executed by german police recently. 4 shots in the back, one to the head.

But people are drowning in propaganda media that tells them its all fine and we must go to war with russia now and immigrants are evil.

The most telling thing is how they try to frame palestine solidarity as “imported antisemitism” which is so racist it baffles me.

Its insane. Even the worker party (spd) and the former climate party (the greens) are pushing war propaganda and xenophobia. Its historically so close to what happened back then, bar the focus on jews, fortunately.

Edit: Downvotes are pouring in and misinformation spreaders are jumping on this post. Really interesting how bad lemmy has gotten in terms of propaganda.

We’re arguing on the assumption that living in western europe isnt “rich”. Even the people living from state welfare with running water are better off then 50% of the planet because they even have clean water.

Notch btw started as a programmer at the age of 18 (wikipedia) and lived in sweden, one of the richest countries in the world. Having the time to learn programming at that age is already a sign of (white) privilege.

There. Is. No. Self. Made. Wealth. Period.

That on the other hand is not saying that notch wasnt successful, he undeniably was. But he is an unethical prick for keeping the money and engaging in debauchery. He does not deserve praise, neither does any rich person. You know who deserves praise? Dr. Ernesto “che” guevara does.

Not inherited is also wrong. Because more than 50% of americans live paycheck to paycheck, one can assume that private schools, elite universities, etc are also inherited wealth.

They dont spawn with billions but they started at the top and just built exploitation empires.

The is no such thing as self made wealth and an insane majprity of it is already being very comfortable and just going full bore.

I’m not saying financial success has nothing to do with capabilities and discipline but surprisingly little.

Or to quote jay gould, who said it before:

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

No need. We have corporate mind control which tricks people into thinking only brown people are terrorists, non nato states are barbarians and socialism doesnt work, etc.

We even have accounts on lemmy who exclusively post nato propaganda and use multiple accounts to cancel dissent.

That is correct but also only half of the story.

Reddit shut down dissenting voices which is huge in thought control. They shut down alternate apps, making poor people gobble up propaganda. The awards system, popularity contests, etc

Thats not all of it but definitely enough to not touch it with a ten foot pole.

Cool username

Yes, hi. I have fully abandoned antisocial media.

Stuff is not important anyway, no matter where it is posted. I get input here, which is okay. But the most important part is: I dont get centrally controlled propaganda and am able to form my own input as I can handle it.

Yeah sure. Because a company paywalling functions has anything to do with network configuration.

What people like you dont understand is that there is no minimum requirement of knowledge to selfhost. It is completely braindead how often i have to tell people how a network works and now i have to explain to people why software configuration is not network configuration.

Resilience. Federated social media is resilient against censoring and corporate takeover.

It.does however not help with eee attacks which I why most of us block threads and a lot will block other fediverse sized (or larger) single instances of eg bluesky etc.

Other, less important (to me) benefits are no algorithms, no profit motive, no ads.

The fediverse is just better in any way.

And the next wrong assumption. It’s beginning to get really tiring. Maybe try to stop individualizing systemic problems. I know it is counter to our society but it is the only healthy way.

I’m building networks for a living. The situation I’m in has zero to do with my skills and assuming so is highly disrespectful.

But yes, as others have pointed out, it is likely that a configuration back when setting the service up years ago led to it using an outside connection which has only now become an issue because of plex’s switch to blocking remote streaming.

No matter because plex works just as well.
