One of the reasons is probably the same why Tesla isn’t releasing their Cybertruck outside of the us - the Crash-Tests there just don’t factor in pedestrian survival rates if they are hit by the car that you want to release on the market. Most of those giant trucks don’t make it here because they’d just run over any pedestrian they hit without them having any chance of survival even at low speeds.

Add to that the totally car-centered infrastructure that basically punishes everyone not in a car and you have the perfect storm for dead pedestrians and bikers…

If the fine is not a fixed amount but actually gets more expensive the more money you have it actually is quite nice though

Always enjoy those stories about millionaires paying some big sums for speeding tickets in Switzerland

If you pirate stuff they can sue you to the ground but if a fine is not related to total income or wealth it’s just something to be ignored.

Can’t understand why not more people lobby for fines to be proportional in general…

Perhaps you should do something about that “raped, tortured and enslaved” part so the death penalty seems better than prison? Prison is supposed to keep dangerous people away from society and rehabilitate them if possible.

People in prison should be safe from such crimes happening to them.

I really don’t understand how people are okay with this “he’s going to be killed in prison” sentiment of someone is sent there for very bad crimes when his sentence is “prison” and not “death”. Prison should mean being locked away safely from society having time to think about their crimes - nothing else.

I think it’s pretty sad that this is influencing people’s decision who to vote for - I understand it a bit if you vote the politicians directly since those change every couple of years but voting a party that’s been part of the political system forever because they advertised more than the other parties? That seems very sad

Hamas is not interested in a peaceful solution though.

So they should have free reign to kill Israelis unpunished whenever they want since it’s impossible to get to them without casualties because of how they play it?

Do you believe Hamas would avoid civil casualties if Israel didn’t do those strikes and let them do whatever they wanted?

ofc is should be avoided at all cost - but the way it looks now it’s pretty much impossible to avoid given how Hamas is playing this…

It is on the military to avoid civilian casualties.

And what would be your solution to that? accept people to flee to Israel and put them in camps temporarily until they can go back? surely that won’t provoke negative reactions…
Letting everyone roam freely also isn’t workint since Hamas has shown that they’d take any chance they get to harm Israeli civilians so they’re for sure not taking that chance.

it’s always easy to criticize something and MUCH harder to come up with a better alternative - and I’ve yet to read someone state one other than “don’t attack Gaza” which would basically be like rolling over and letting the terrorists win which surely can’t be in people’s interest…

They told them to evacuate and Hamas told them to stay put which many did.

So what’s your suggestion?

Going in there with the army on the ground? That will probably result in even more casualties.

Hamas is just evil with how they planned their bases around hospitals, churches or civilian buildings because they know that it’s impossible to target them without having civilian casualties. That’s the whole point.

So Israel should just ignore that Hamas specifically targeted schools and civilians for their attack and not do anything? Seriously what’s your suggestion besides staying in your childish black and white thinking of optimal solutions.

Civilian casualties are absolutely horrible but imho those are 100% Hamas fault for using them as meat shields and creating the necessity for a response by what they did to those victims of their attack.

I know Palestine people don’t really have a choice since there were no elections in a long time so they are the biggest victims of this but imho putting the blame on Israel is just making it far too easy.

within 24h hours after that explosion at the hospital in Berlin there were reported cases of people spraying stars of david on jew’s houses and an incident with a molotov being thrown at a synagogue.

The line between Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism is VERY thin for a lot of people…

And too many people where just too happy to jump to conclusions if that conclusion is allowing them to shit on Israel further.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen misinformation being gobbled up so willingly by so many before - the internet was just ready to condemn Israel for whatever they could get their hands on.

And as if one needed proof that Anti-Zionism is just a disguise for Anti-Semitism directly after that claim of Israel being responsible in Berlin people already started spraying Stards of David on houses that jews where living and threw a molotov at a synagogue.

Have you been on the internet in the past week? Sure politicians and newspapers are generally more towards that kind of statement but Lemmy and Twitter are basically flooded with solidarity with Palestine and yesterday I saw multiple threads about this incident with sources that claimed it was Israel which had people being all “of course they would do that” and if the article was about Israel denying involvement the most comments were not believing that.

Some people started spraying stars of David on houses where Jews live in Berlin yesterday and another person threw a Molotov at a synagogue.

There is a shitton of anti-zionist rhetoric out there which fluently merges with anti-semitism

creators to jump ship

that’s why I said it’s impossible - it the same kind of monopoly Steam has in that it’s impossible for the creators to NOT be on that platform because of the size it has but unlike Steam Youtube has started acting anti-consumer now instead of just anti-creator as in the past

With Poland not having the pis in charge hopefully there’s a chance now

Isn’t it winter, too, in Brazil? I’d expect the chance for it getting better isn’t great during summer in the southern hemisphere either

YouTube has a monopoly that is nearly impossible to challenge because of the network effect.

Sure there are costs but it would be better if as many people as possible would be ready to jump ship to create an alternative

Wouldn’t be surprised if Italy also steps in to stop sanctions against antidemocratic nationalists and populists in the future
