I think so.

On 4 September 2020, Veronika Munk published a video message announcing the creation of Telex.hu of which she would be the editor in chief. The portal would be neither left nor right leaning, and would strive to present the facts in an objective manner. Munk also asked the public to donate to the enterprise.

What would be the benefit of open war against Russia, especially if NATO were to start it? I see absolutely nothing.

There's a lot of room for additional sanctions against Russia too. The EU is still importing fossil gas and nuclear fuel, for example. Countries like Cyprus and the UK can probably still freeze additional Russian funds. [...]

So, I personally didn't vote for any far-right party. And I suspect neither did a lot of the people in this community. That "collective you" seems woefully misapplied.

Is op voting for right-wingers? Else, I find the use of "you" a bit odd.

Migrants are people first, not "problems". They have rights, they have value, they have skills. As in any population, some will be an issue for society, nad you'll need to deal with that. But that has little to nothing to do with them being migrants.

And the whole "anti-democracy propaganda", as you called it, is mixed up in there too: The far right wants to take away human rights. They'll start with the weakest link, which may be migrants or disabled people or ..., and work their way up.

On the other hand more news like this might get people away from far right.

Xenophobic arguments are not "about the numbers" or rationality. They are about fear. You can deport as many people as you want, the argument will not go away, as long as there's a single migrant anywhere (and possibly beyond). Also, voters tend to be more right-wing if they don't know any migrants themselves because either there are few/no migrants where they live or they're segregated from them.

Also look at Biden or Obama — they had more people deported than any US president who came before them. Biden even instituted an "upper limit" on migration recently. Yet, they will still be attacked as "weak on migration".

The only way to win (as a society) is to integrate migrants well. And to make sure people don't need to flee their home countries.

I'd want to get rid of that thing too, there's nothing insane about that. !rationalpeoplefacebook

At the very least you'll find a suitable explorer's hat and a knife to fight the Smithsonian director if they resist.

Oh dear, this is stupid. Thanks for the background. There's always more to these weird theories than they let on in their tweets.

Looks like someone does a great job faking screenshots that stir rage. (Granted, date and byline are completely missing, both of which should be there. On the plus side, that means the fake can be used until the JPEG compression eats it up.)

Sorry for misinterpreting you. But then, you responded to a comment that was apparently serious. ¯\(ツ)/¯

No paywall for me. If there's an authwall, you can pass that by entering an invalid email address, like no@thankyou.com.

Could you cut pleasantries like "shitehole"/"knobend"/... on this community, please? I know Orban is not the most likable person, but there is no point in random incivility — it only kills the mood here.

(I respond to you but I mean the 4? other people doing the same in this thread as well.)

I am fairly sure there are pretty intelligent supporters of fast-right leaders (too). And I think there are two angles here: One is how much you let irrational fears and bad instincts take ahold of you, the other is whether you are going out for personal gain.

It was an attempt at a joke. The one version you linked to is green and kind of looks like a gherkin. That's all.

As I understand the two of you: "hybrid" has a "conventional " component, and "springtime" supposedly refers to the fact that seizing Russia in winter is hard.

If my reading of this is correct, please stop your trains of thought. You guys sound way too trigger-happy. It helps absolutely no one to turn the Russia-Ukraine war into an EU-Russia war. War just kills a ton of people, and for what, in that case?

Sensibly enough, everyone in the EU is trying to avoid getting involved in the "conventional warfare" bit and containing things to Ukraine. I am also fairly sure that right now, nobody whosoever is dumb enough to try to seize Russia.

You are just digging a bigger hole with every comment, adding more inconsequential arguments.

Your original claim was that they are an SED clone. Which is just not true. That would also not make sense, given that we live in a vastly different time than the original Cold War era.

BSW is a party that, for the moment, has way more presence in political talk shows than it does substance. They have a prominent ex-Linke face, they have ex-Linke members, but they also have nationalist and socially regressive views. Calling them left-wing is thus not particularly appropriate either.

And just like CyberEgg, I absolutely don't understand why you bring in all the arguments that don't do anything for your case. E.g: Yes, BSW is popular in Eastern Germany. But that doesn't mean they're an SED clone or left-wing. It just means that a bunch of people in Eastern Germany voted for this weird cult.

And for the record, none of that means that either CyberEgg or I like BSW.

You do realize that that "club" is a gherkin, right? :)

Fwiw, I like all the properly illustrated variants so much better than the French variant that always feels lifeless to me.

Ooh, thank you! Sorry for the way I worded it. Anyway: To me, it looks weirdly pixelated, as if either:

• It doesn't take into account high-PPI screens and scales the image file for a 96ppi screen and then the browser scales it up to display size or

• It just takes a file with huge image resolution and the browser scales it down quickly on the fly.

You can look at my screenshots.

Lieber @moistbones@lemmy.world, die Zuhausis in !ich_iel@feddit.org sind auch ein relevante Gurkentruppe. Schöne Grüße!
