Sharing it with everyone is, though. It helps! Chances are a European will hear about it.

Ew, spyware. This def violates GDPR

A true People’s Republic would have less surveillance noncence than this.

The UK is a literal 1984 in the works.

There are too many to list, but one that comes to mind:

• Pyotr Kropotkin. I’ve read his Conquest of Bread and although sometimes harder to read, it’s been highly enlightening for how an anarchocommunist society could self-organise.

wouldnt the strong force qualify also

What is Stripe?

Freeing the tiddy through tariffs /j

That sucks to hear, though; if you have friends overseas or nearby, couldn’t hurt to ask them?

You’re right, biological warfare would be a better term.

Never attribute to incompetence that which can also be attributed to malice.

Calling him a “vaccine critic” is rich; he’s a child killer. Due to him, directly, thousands of children will die preventable deaths.

I think a better title would also be “The Playbook Used To Kill People, By Spreading Lies About Vaccines”. Or simply, “The Playbook Used For Biological Warfare”.

Willfully not vaccinating a ton of people, in my view, is indirect biological warfare.

Hmm, I don’t know your situation, but if you’re living in Switzerland, Norway, the Faroe Islands, or Iceland, I honestly would just recommend staying there.

If it’s in Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, or Bosnia, then yeah, fair. But I thought none of those had good privacy laws?

Can’t imagine Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, or Turkey have good privacy laws. And certainly not any of the North African countries…

If Thiel’s mafia organisation (I refuse to call that scrap by desecrating sir Tolkien’s works’ names) has a deal with the NHS, then that should be ended ASAP. Fuck that, that’s some serious spying.

Capitalism is shit, and there are things where it especially NEVER, EVER should have any access, power or influence, directly or indirectly:

• Health services
• Parliaments, committees, assemblies
• Nature
• Housing
• Water and food
• National security

I wouldn’t take it up, honestly. Best to go for somewhere in the EU instead.

The UK is a US puppet state, and pretty much showing it.

It’s indeed ridiculous. At some point I had no internet access, no playboy, no drawing stuff. So, anyway, I just used my good ol’ imagination.

They always seek to control that which is natural: the urge to have a happy life, with pleasure.

They could better spend their time combatting the corruption within the Tories and Labour, and actually putting up a proportional representation system. Or yet better, workplace democracy for all. People can follow a leader if they want, but it’s nice if everyone else also can live as they want.

If they cared about kids, I think it’s better to educate them about how to navigate the internet safely. Prohibiting the internet for kids is one thing, but imo it’s a bandaid fix for bad parenting.

Better to tell them “never give away your real name, address, or age”, and “never ask for the same of someone else”. And that when they see something awful, it’s best to talk with their parents about it. Kids need to grow up safely, yes, but they should also be independent, not boxed in by helicopter parents.

When I was a kid, I was often on the internet and mostly just visited the safe sites. Occassionally I saw the one off scary site but I knew to avoid it later then, or talked about it irl with friends and family.

Aah, I was thinking moreso like this vibe

That is shifting the blame away from Russia, which is the fascist aggressor. Ukraine did not enter NATO; Russia rejected Ukraine seeking more economical independence.

Yanukovych, who was pro-EU, was originally supposed to sign an association treaty between the EU and Ukraine; but last minute he didn’t sign, while parliament had voted with an overwhelming majority for yes.

Yanukovych probably didn’t sign due to Russian pressure, which proposed instead that Ukraine become a member of the Eurasian Economic Union. Protests grew into Euromaidan, but the anti-protest laws instated by Yanukovych’s party of oligarchs, repressed it, until he was deposed.

And then Russia invaded Ukraine and took the Crimea + the Donbass, and shot down MH17. For which Putin and Girkin still haven’t paid with their lives.

Since Putin was the one to pressure Yanukovych in not signing, and since Putin was the one to invade, he’s to be blamed for everything.

Ukraine would’ve been able to remain neutral – and negotiate favourable terms for transporting goods to Russia. All that without joining the Eurasian Economic Union. Thus the blame is solely and wholly on Putin for rejecting any such option.

The EU explicitly provides for a neutral nation to join (like Austria did), and even provides for interoperability with other common markets through the EEA. Though that is less favourable than being in the EU, as you then cannot vote in EU parliament about laws affecting you; a deal that Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland took. It also doesn’t come with the advantage of the mutual defence clause.

I mean, in my area we do have the ability to put bicycles on trains and buses alike. Though you don’t attach them at the back, you just enter the vehicle with your bike.

If it’s a foldable, you can always enter for free (so no added fee on top of the fare). For non-foldable bikes the same applies, though if you do that during rush hour you will have to pay a small fee.

Super convenient, really. Way cheaper also than having a car (as in, the vroom vehicle). You bike from home, enter bus/train, maybe switch from bus to train, and then exit and bike the last few kilometres.

Don’t need to look long for a parking spot, don’t need to pay much in petrol, no need to focus on traffic, can enjoy the view or do work/hobbies/listen to music while travelling, and so on.

Only downside is that here the fares are pretty high, but the Green & Labour Party is proposing to enable unlimited travelling across the entire country for less than €60 per month outside of rush hours.

For comparison, travelling from one end to another of the country right now would cost €30 per trip. A typical 4-day commute of 40 km per trip would cost around €320 per month now (accounting for travelling both ways).

So, the Green & Labour Party’s proposal would result in fares becoming more than 80% cheaper(!) for everyone.

Aah, gotcha, that makes more sense. I got confused then, I guess.

So they prefer to spy on what their kids are doing? Bah, those ministers are nonce creeps.

The hats aren’t even of good quality. Most rip apart easily. Chinese-made hats are better than that.

Also overpriced. I saw them for $15… seriously? In my country I can get better quality ones for €5.
