will never not support genocide, you can always make fun of us
I would have never guessed that Italy would do this. Especially with Meloni and her party in power, but I hope that this will make it more likely that relief reaches the people of Palestine
Right wingers cheering for genocide, war, police violence, deportations, etc. is fine, but don't you leftists dare to be happy about a dead nazi! That's where 
draws it's line!
But that's why I'm truly happy for lemmy. Guess we will get a influx of new users soon

r/TheDeprogram has been banned
(hexbear.net)
Well the crackdown of leftist spaces on Reddit continues.
Cheer for the deaths of Palestinian children? -> Well that is just their opinion and we accept all on .
Cheer for the operation no_of_fascists_in_world -= 1? -> You leftist are disgusting for cheering for PoLiTiCaL vIoLeNcE
I hope some people from reddit make it to here or to lemmygrad.ml, in my eyes they are welcome here 
The sub-: TheDeprogram has been banned. I hope some of them find their way here
It's really cathartic to know that he was luigi'd while spewing his hateful shit
Why are you posting this? This is a good take!

Why does rent imputing exist?
(hexbear.net)
I've been sick the last few days and to pass time I watched a Video from Geopolitical Economy Report, where he states that about 8 percent of the US GDP (I know that that measurement is shit, but it's still the most used one) is attributed to imputed rent from owner-occupied housing and therefor bullshit.
I tried to read up a little on the topic because I have trouble believing that such a bogus figure is included in the GDP, because it doesn't add value. Everything you do in your own home is not work that 'benefits' the economy and if you hire contractors or buy materials it's already included in the GDP. Though the reading material I found is either full of jargon or skips this question.
So now I hope that someone knowledgeable can clarify this: is this rent imputation really just padding for the GDP or does it server another purpose?
Material I used:
- Why does GDP include imputations? (bea.gov link)
- Imputing Rents to Owner-Occupied Housing by Directly Modelling Their Distribution (bea.gov link, abstract of paper, leads to pdf)
- Imputing Rent (NATO-Pedia link)
And footnote: It's very telling, that capitalist countries view rent as an important part of their economy 
Is this the beginning of the Make Ghouls Afraid Again movement?
Full uncritical support for the colonializer to fertilizer pipeline 
Currently on the front page of the biggest german (state funded) news site:
TL of the headline: Human lives don't count for Hamas
Father down they say that it is the opinion/experience of a german spy that negotiated between Palestine and Isn'treal. But I'm so sick of the the state narrative here. Just pure anti-palestine propaganda and they don't even try to hide it, they call it 'reason of the state'. The GDR should have lived on, I can't wait for the day when 
happens. Sorry for the small rant.

The whole uncut conference is here with the relevant part starting at 41:41, though it is completely in german with no english subtitles available.
It is baffling to me, how libs don't see (or care) how basic rights are just ignored in germ*ny, when it would be uncomfortable for the settler colonial entity on palestinian soil. I also wonder how slimy one has to be, to weasle your way out of every difficult question when giving a press conference.
Note: I'm not really familiar with DiEM25 or Varoufakis, though they seem to have at least some based takes. But please don't consider this post an endorsement for either.

Lol, how to kill your platform in one simple step (step one will surprise you)
FRANKFURT, March 2 (Reuters) - Germany is investigating an audio recording published in Russian media reported to be a conference call of high-ranking German military officials talking about weapons for Ukraine, sparking concerns of espionage in Germany and calls for clarification from Russia. A German defence ministry spokesperson said on Saturday that it couldn't confirm the authenticity of the recording, but the Federal Office for Military Counterintelligence Service was investigating the matter and all necessary steps would be taken.
The recording can be found here on vk.com. I listened to it and think that it's authentic.
Around 30:00 one of them says: "Imagine the press gets wind of this"
Edit: The German Ministry of Denfense confirms the authenticity of the recording (Article in germ*n)

Obviously a brain-dead take but maybe they tried to express the shift from manufacturing to finance and service in the western world while lacking the vocabulary to express it? Though this shift doesn't make dialectical analysis and the framework around ist invalid.
