Europe went from leader of internet freedom to ~~Stasi police~~ Gestapo in a few months.

Guess there's a top down policy to implement Fascism across Europe soon, judging by the speed at which Europe is passing dracnonic internet control.

That's really unfair to Stasi. For all their problems they fought Nazis, not supported them.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

That's true I mixed them up with the Gestapo. My WW2 lingo is not up to date.

Its a preparation for war with russia. If journalism and free flow of information keeps existing, its hard to explain to people they should support such madness, so its time to silence everyone

Frankly, I don't think so, the vast majority are not fans of Russia, especially after the invasion of Ukraine. Pretty much everyone is in agreement that Russia is a threat, and there's no need for any media suppression for that

There's a big difference between not being a fan of Russia and wanting a cataclysmic war with them

Do you think that European countries want to go on an offensive war with Russia or something? No, the discussion has always been about a defensive one

Yes, obviously.

No, the discussion has always been about a defensive one

"Defensive" in the "pre-emptive defence" sense

I think you have no idea what you are talking about

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago

Ok. I think the same about you.

If euros want a defensive war they can wait until they grow mold

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Are you enlisted yet?

Among other things, Germany's been quite strict about piracy, so they've been holding the L for a while now, and continue to do so..
