  • Unfortunately, yes. We can’t even vote on the matter.

    However, it’s worth noting that a good part of the hate is directed to Mazon, the governor of the region that is being accused of not only downplaying the alerts from the weather agency but also of not asking for help nor declaring the emergency status that would allow the central gov. to take control and send more help for political gains (the central gov is from a left-leaning coalition while the region gov is from a right-fascist coalition).



  • A combination of things:

    First, misinformation travels at light speed thanks to the lack of control in social media and internet.

    Then, we have a generational crisis that is causing a strong lack of confidence in the actual political class because they are seen as incapable of resolving our generation issues.

    Add to this that there is the perception of a strong migration problem (pushed by the far right).

    The far right capitalizes on all of the above.

    Also, it is treated like a cult by its followers because they thrive in environments where the intelligence is not required (it’s actually encouraged to not be intelligent and critical thinker).

    The far right is also known to be populist, and they don’t need to be held accountable for their lies because their followers act as a cult.

    If you sum this all up, you get our situation: young people voting fascism even more than boomers (look at Germany’s last election).

    It really is scary.







  • No surprise here. Those were idiots trying to profit from someone else’s labour. It’s not illegal to sell a retro gaming console capable of playing gba games (to name one), what’s illegal, and these imbeciles should have known is to sell them full of licensed games.

    Well deserved imho.

    Edit: gotta love getting downvoted for this. I guess people are butthurt because someone profiting from piracy got screwed. Well, that’s how it is. These guys could have sold the consoles without games and nothing could have happened. Piracy by itself shouldn’t be about profiting from other people’s work. That’s why every single cracker group tells you that if you paid for their cracked games, you were scammed.

    But I guess people think that profiting from piracy is fine… Oh well…
