This kind of talk is effective if you want to push EU towards China. Don't really understand the tactics here. Trump in a nutshell I guess.

If he's really interested in Greenland he should try to create more division between Greenland and Denmark. Maybe that's what we'll see next.

Honestly, I believe most people overestimate intellectual and conscious rationality. Among themselves and others. The rationalizing is usually there afterwards. To justify current emotions, actions and circumstances.

Self preservation, since one can't control much anyways. And one needs a somewhat coherent world view.

Very true.

I find it quite simple. Voters are economic left/progressive and social right/conservative. Center left parties are economic center and social left. The trend is similar in all western countries. And it's a bad match.

Because of admiralty law.

It could also be that this is not sanctioned by China and that the crew members are working for Russia. It's not obvious what China gains from this kind of behavior. China is very dependent on European good will and trade. Especially as the trade war with the US intensifies.

Isreal has created a situation where they rely on the far-right in the US for their survival. The same people that was openly anti-semitic about 15 years ago. And will be again, as soon as they forget about the current anti-muslim hype (which is waning). At the same time they have created a situation where maybe 50 million people are willing to die if it means removing Israel from the map, and maybe 6 billion people who thinks it's probably a good idea if Isreal is removed.

USA and the EU has to prepare for 10 million Jewish Israeli refugees, within this century. I believe.

The US Israel lobby is largely responsible for this situation. Responsible because they've pushed the US into a position where they reward Isreal for whatever crazy fundamentalist genocide agenda they run. And Israel is now so good at the operative and tactical level, that they've completely forgotten about the strategic and geopolitical level. For which they will pay sooner or later (tiresome comparing with Nazi Germany, but the situation is very similar).

I feel sorry for all the Arabs that are victims because of this. And I feel sorry for the many Israelis who actually did not vote for the current far-right sionist regime and its suicidal strategy.

That kind of behavior can also be a sign that the documentation is hard to find or hard to comprehend. Or that something isn't documented at all, but the seniors imagine it is, because the answer is obvious to them.

Remember that most people don't even know there is something called "rankings" or "indexer" in this context.

People here need to realize that 90% of the microbloggers don't give a fuck about decentralization or FOSS. They want something that works and doesn't force them into a ketamine fuled nazi oligarchy delirium. Mastodon doesn't work for normal people. It kind of works if you're a FOSS nerd or some kind of fediverse idealist. (It works for me, because it doesn't drag me into endless flame wars and I'm almost only following FOSS accounts).

My experience with Lemmy is that it is much more functional as in "Reddit replacement". There are of course super few users, but it feels active and engaging (for better or worse). So in theory, maybe it could be a replacement.

But Mastodon has never been a "Twitter replacement". It feels more like a fancy RSS client. Search, feeds and interactions just doesn't work very well.

Fair point.
