  • Yes, the difference is that most people are aware it's happening in Authoritarian countries like Russia and China, but forget that it's also happening in USA.

  • Are you seriously claiming that Americans aren't brainwashed. 🤣🤣🤣Just making that claim, probably means you are more brainwashed than average, because most Americans are 100% aware they are brainwashed by propaganda by corrupt media and politicians EVERY FUCKING DAY!For instance FOX News is one big propaganda channel, no better than the worst in either China or Russia.But this propaganda is far from limited to just Fox News, most news channels in USA are propaganda channels owned by the 1%. And of it permeate all of American society, so they for instance think sociopathy is a virtue, so enough voted for Donald Trump for him to become president, and half the population didn't vote!

  • In civilized countries The Flock Camera network is CLEARLY illegal.My recommendation to USA is to strive to become a civilized country, before caring so much about every single detail that arise from not being a civilized country.Americans are constantly focusing on the symptoms but never on the disease that cause them. Maybe because Americans are brainwashed to think the insanity going on in USA is normal.

  • It’s only the best bet for change short-term. Long-term a two-party system will never work.

    I agree, but the point is exactly on the long term to make changes to democracy. But that's not possible without representation.Joining a third party will never achieve anything. So the only alternative to influence the Democratic party from within is civil war as I see it.

  • OK thanks. 👍

  • I don't get it, is this cartoon claiming Trump was right?

  • Losing affordable healthcare, and funneling even more wealth to the 1%, while making the economy worse both for working people and the country.

  • This is so sad IMO, because it's probably true.Shedding a tear for the country I once admired. 😥

  • Yes, and Republicans will do absolutely zero to change that, because abusing the system is one of their main strategies.And old school Democrats won't change it either for some reason, despite calling themselves democrats.So it's a long process of first changing the Democratic party from within, and then hopefully get the power to modernize democracy in USA.

  • Congratulation to Melat Kiros, this just proves what I've so often claimed here on Lemmy.That the best bet for change, is to become a member of the Democratic party, and help change it from within.

  • He is one of the most responsible people for where American politics are today.Absolutely no conscience and no morals, he is as close to pure evil a politician can get. He was among the main people that created the circumstances that allowed Trump to become president of USA.

  • I have said repeatedly that that agreement was worthless and probably illegal anyway, because it's based on US agencies respecting personal data, and USA has demonstrated multiple times that their agencies have very little respect for personal data.

    Therefore in principle it is illegal for any public institution in EU to store any personal data on any American owned server or cloud service.

    This agreement between EU and USA was merely a play to the gallery, to avoid a major political trade crisis between EU and USA.USA can still legally break all the rules by just saying the word terrorism. But they have many other ways they circumvent the regulation, for instance simply buying the information they need from scumbag companies that specialize in selling personal information, without needing a permission from a judge.

  • Good. Why would we want people who take vastly more than they contribute to remain in our state?

    That's a good question, but the rich are good at making the poor fight for the scraps. And their riches may come from the whole of USA and even the entire world, so local states fight each others to keep the rich in their state, because their taxes are still often significant even when they pay to little.

    As I mentioned, the best way to stop this is by mandatory international agreement on a wealth tax. But unfortunately such an agreement is not likely. But we should all at least support it.

  • This ONLY makes sense if you have no morals, but instead use a 2000 year old book to decide for you.

  • Yes.

  • While that obviously sucks, there was a way to keep accessing all the content you wanted to keep.While that is a scumbag move, I can understand how regulation wasn't designed to handle a situation like that.I'm not even sure it is today.

  • Because as is obvious Studiocanal is a 3rd party made available by Sony .

  • hides somewhere 23 pages inside their terms of service that the terms “buy”, “purchase”, “own” and so on don’t mean what they commonly do.

    Doesn't matter in regard to consumer protection laws, you can't press a button, and legally lose your legally defined consumer protections.Also no license is allowed to put consumers in a worse position than required by law. Attempts to do so can actually make the license illegal! Voiding any protection the issuer seeks from the license.

  • they want in small print,

    Nope, not in EU they can't. And pressing a button that says yes is not legally binding in EU, we do have actual legal precedence for that.Also the laws that protect consumers CANNOT ever never be put aside by any license agreement!! Any such license is ILLEGAL, and by being illegal all claims to protect the issuer of the license are illegal. While those granting consumers protections may still stand.

    Actually putting things in "small print" are more likely to void any claims than actually uphold them in a court of law.Remember these are also EU countries, and EU countries have actual consumer protection, it's not like the wild west of countries like USA.
