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.

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.

A greatcoat worn by the senior US border patrol official Gregory Bovino, who has spearheaded aggressive immigration operations across the country, has raised eyebrows in German media with some commentators saying it resembled a fascist aesthetic.

Bovino has been an increasingly recognisable figure during the raids in Minneapolis for the brass-buttoned, calf-length olive green coat, which is unlike the fatigues and body armor worn by many of the federal agents.

Along with his close-shorn haircut, the media organization Der Spiegel suggested in a video feature that Bovino’s look recalled that of a Nazi officer.

The important thing to note here is that Germany, a country that has been cucked by America for over 50 years, is openly talking shit of the highest degree (non-racist Germans take their anti-Nazi stance very seriously, it's a big part of the culture). Living in the West in such interesting times is a bit concerning, lol.

Dear Germany, how'd you get corporate money out of your government?

[–] bossito@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's simple actually. "Money donations" are not "freedom of expression" like in the US, there are very limited amounts that individuals may donate to political parties, anything above is corruption. This is the general rule across Europe. You don't want your democracy for sale, you don't allow it to be bought.

Yes, it's like that now. But what did you do to get there? While corruption was rampant in Germany and there was practically a marriage between corporations and government.

Lots of wars. And germany still has a lot of corruption.

We didn't, and it isn't even necessarily our own corporations' money.
