Not ironic it all.

The US condemns China for the treatment of the Uyghurs. US good, China bad.

China condemns the US for the treatment of the Palestinians. China good, US bad.

Both countries don’t give a shit about either.

With all the justified criticism against VW, saying that they’re “probably” funding the AfD is just taking it too far.

Here is an article from a political left newspaper, which describes that even though the AfD defended VW against the “Dieselgate”, the company was not willing to supply them cars with a discount (which wouldn’t be uncommon normally), because the AfD with its “nationalistic traits” stands in contrast to the fundamental values of the Volkswagen Group.

I understand the irony obviously, but we live in the present and not the past.

The dismantling of the US was Putins wet dream since forever, he would have done the same with or without the well deserved sanctions for invading Ukraine.

That doesn’t make much sense, since Baja California was named California before the US-State which even belonged to Mexico back in the days.

If anything Trump is going to change California to Ivankia or Putinstan, but I guess at that point California will rather rejoin Mexico.

It’s what Putin wants, so yeah.

I doubt you’re getting downvoted for saying that chrome is faster than firefox, but for the irony of using Linux with a Chromium based browser, while being on lemmy.

1. Chromium, while open source, is controlled by Google and a lot of browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Samsung Android, Vivaldi) are built on it, giving it a market share of around 75%.

2. Electron apps are frameworks based on Chromium (ie VSCode).

3. Google is evil and with Manifest V3, Adblockers like uBlock Origin, will eventually stop working for all derivatives (even for Vivaldi).

4. The future: Because Chromium got the de facto monopoly there is no need for Firefox support anymore and the big corpos (ie Microsoft is a sucker for Chromium/Electron) can turn what’s left of the “old” Internet into apps without the ability to block ads or tracking.

5. No “?”, just Profit.

Mindhunter on Netflix. I’m hooked!

Nearly everything you said is just plain wrong:

• The NPD never got banned (supposedly because the party was “insignificant”).
• They renamed themselves “Die Heimat”.
• If banned, a follow up party from the AfD would be automatically banned too.
• You make it sound like 30% of Germans vote AfD, while they get that many votes mainly in the eastern states.
• You talk about democracy and call Nazis “political opponents”. I got news for you: Those fascist scums’ only goal is to get rid of democracy, sell Europe to Russia and maybe start a third world war.

So keep on talking as much as you like, everyone with half a brain can see right through you.
