I would love to be able to be privileged enough to boycott every single bad/evil company or organization but its never that simple. I honestly find the people that attack others for not doing that nasty, good for them if they can do it but not everyone can afford, or have the ability to do so.
Rafurie (@raffurie.bsky.social) reply parent
thats never gonna happen, that would require enough of the american people to actually give a fuck that they are turning the US into a dictatorship.

Can Poland atleast stop protecting Hungary in the EU parlament aswell tho? that would make it alot easier to actually stop Hungary whenever they are doing something really shitty, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon. (Unless im wrong and they have stopped doing that but I doubt it.)

"manage russia" he is not managing russia, russia is managing him. How media keeps pretending thats not the case with anyone in the US government is fucking insane.

quite wasteful for many reasons as we all know but also since its obvious that he does not need any soldiers to intimidate the majority of the US population. They would need actual opposition to intimidate for that.

A massive amount of money spent on propaganda. Its sad and frustrating to read about it happening again, even tho im on the other side of the ocean, cant even imagine how frustrating and hard it must be for you all. Especially with everything else going on.

I like shooting guns and I do wish sometimes it would be easier to get them but all I need to think about is that if it was easier, then so many more would be dead and that always makes me change my mind on the subject. If it means saving lives then im all for making it harder to get.

Sure, this new law is not perfect. You can still buy semi auto hunting rifles, it is more or less the ones that you can much easier modify, put accessories on that have been banned. in my opinion it is something, and while not perfect you dont need AR15s for hunting.
Rafurie (@raffurie.bsky.social) reply parent
earlier this year, my country (Sweden) had one of the worst mass/school shooting in history, this happened in febuary and now 1st of August ar-15 hunting rifles and similar are banned. Now I know that there are differences between our nations but I will never understand the gun culture in the US.

”Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has led to any number of unintended consequences, but none so quick and profound as the consolidation of the Nordic and Baltic regions under the NATO umbrella. The Nordic and Baltic states have also been the most enthusiastic supporters of Ukraine.”

Democracy is not freedom, it is a tool, and its virtue depends on who wields it. It can defend or destroy, uplift or oppress; it carries no guarantee of liberty or equality. It is up to us not only to uphold a just democracy, but to fight for it and defend it against corruption and injustice.

I agree, we are better prepared than many believe and have both the hardware and soldiers, but we have been relying on for so long on US supply chain and system especially, nothing we cant work around but it does take time. I doubt the US would attack, but hard to trust any US soldiers these days.

Sadly we do have to care because the US have what? 70-80k soldiers in Europe and I honestly doubt many of them would disobey an order from their master to stab us in the back. We need to get them away from our lands even if it means that we weaken ourselves for abit.

I agree, we need to throw out the US from our lands because I rather be weakened abit from not having them here than trust that they wont stab us in the back the moment their leaders tell them to do it. I fucking hate that I cant trust them anymore, I want to but we live in a new world now.
