Neato , in Swiss right seeks to block Eurovision’s ‘celebration of satanism and occultism’

It's the early signs like this that needs the rest of the community to come out against the right hard and relentlessly. Just name and shame until they go away. Allowing them to keep spouting bullshit just gets you a slow roll into fascism. I hope they can accomplish it.

bizarroland ,

I mean, I don't want to sound like an old fogie or anything but when I was a kid when people would say stupid shit we would just ignore them and tell each other to walk on the other side of the street around them.

We would not listen for the crazy words that crazy people say and then run around telling them to everyone else as if there were any weight or value to those words.

I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find some crazy person saying some crazy thing about any topic you can imagine. Why are we taking those crazy people and putting them up on a planetary podium and putting a microphone in front of them?

The people who are giving the crazy people megaphones are bad people and should be stopped.

Addv4 ,

The problem as I see it is that those crazy people discovered the internet, and met the other crazies that reinforced the stupid stuff they believed. And when enough of them got together, people started to notice and someone was like, "I can make money off this by making them interact with non-crazies." The first probably was Facebook, but after others saw how profitable it was, they decided to have their own slice of the pie, which in turn made those fringe groups more noticeable.

Good I hate youtube, please ban it in Europe and the US next. Maybe more people will switch to peertube. Actually just ban the whole Google data-mining repertoire.

Classic SVP. One member of the party once said our national football team had “too many foreigners”.

kayazere ,

They are openly racist. This was an ad of theirs depicting foreigners as black sheep and kicking them out of Switzerland.

mecfs ,

Oh yeah.
They’ve had a lot more dodgy referenda lol.

Well this is what happens when the blue check goes from verifying identity to verifying you have paid money to feed a grown child's ego.

Before you board the bus be sure to take a shit in the Seine.

Please don't damage the environment, even if it is a prestige project by the government.

ThrowawayPermanente ,

Actually holding public goods hostage is OK if it's the only way to get other people to do what you want

yetAnotherUser ,

But this isn't holding hostage, it's revenge.

Holding something important - such ad the environment - hostage when the chance of the government complying are zero - not close to zero - is not OK.

Although I consider it to be OK if it's something unimportant, like bus they will be forced on.

Pretty sure Twitter is and will continue to be "bad". Let them wither and die.

    avidamoeba , in Italy to offer defunct Stellantis brands to Chinese automakers, report says
    @avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

    Crucially to manufacture in Italy.

    breadsmasher ,
    @breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

    On the surface, seems a reasonable offer? Italy sells the rights to the name of an Italian brand on the condition the vehicles are manufactured in Italy.

    Regardless of it being china or anywhere else

    avidamoeba ,
    @avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

    I think so. Then Italian unions can ensure it's doesn't become a slave shop.

    Didn't they just find out all these luxury brands were operating what were pretty much sweatshops in Italy recently?

    avidamoeba ,
    @avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

    Yes. This is why it doesn't work without unions. Without them it's a varying degrees of slave shop. Is Meloni interested in that, I don't know. Haven't read on her stance on unions.

    federalreverse Mod ,

    This is the work of Italy's current right-wing government. Italy also is a member of the Belt and Road initiative and we know they have agreements with China to allow surveillance of Chinese expats by Chinese police officers.

    I'm betting unions are anathema.

    @apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world avatar

    They, like all leagues, have kits that are made by slave labor and changed every year for no other reason than fast fashion capitalism. They don't have ethics. Money talks.
