Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

TL;DR:
Hey! Your facts are ruining a perfectly written click-baity title, you know?
The big point here isnt that they dropped from 70 per month to 1-2. The big point is that she was constantly saying how everyone should immediately stop doing any business with russia/russians and ban all russians from traveling to the west. She also said there is common guilt among the people regardless if they actively helped/supported or not. While at the same time she wasnt even aware what her own husbands business was doing.
Before she made such drastic statements maybe she should have checked if she follows what she wants to preach.
Did you miss the part that said:
?
How is that relevant ? She is preaching about what people should do and when someone confronts her with the fact that her own family is doing business with Russia she claims she didn't know.
It does not matter how little it is. She was preaching that there should be a 0 tolerance policy and everyone not adhering to it is directly aiding Russia and their war on Ukraine. By her own logic she is funding the killing of Ukrainians and her defense is "Well uhm I did not know where my money went".
The thing is though, the real company that should be complained at is not Stark Logistics but AS Metaprint - the business actually shipping to Russia. This business has already been in the news and spoken about how it's winding up its existing orders, and has been given a legal dispensation to finish up its operations. Those operations used Stark Logistics before, so obviously they're going to continue using Stark Logistics until they finish.
Her husband's business wasn't doing anything extra from what was already in the public eye. I'm sure she was campaigning for AS Metaprint to stop sooner, in which case Stark Logistics would also be stopping sooner. The Prime Minister does not dictate policy, though, and in this case the government have determined business can go on for a little longer.
