I thought they were just selling a story. But he actually believes it. So he's actually a fucking moron.

RSF was just an example to show that such a ranking exists. Removing conflict of interest and the ability to censor will be what's needed in order to have real unguided public opinion.
That's difficult to achieve.
The major thing to think about are things like CP, obviously that needs to be removed from existence.
So there's positives to control, but nobody does anything for free.
Like here at Lemmy, I assume an instance creator of a popular instance will be able to be bought by companies or politicians.
Like Musk just bought twitter, lots of newspaper companies are owned by oligarchs. Other sources of news are owned by governments.
There's always a conflict of interest.
It's difficult to get away from.
Commuting is all about avoiding crowds. I love driving, I just hate traffic. It's so mainstream so all the joy is gone.
Trains are amazing when it's not packed. You can look outside, have some drink, use your phone without getting motion sick.
Busses are pretty wild, not my favourite. If you see a bus in Belgium, do not play a dare with them. You will die.
E-bike is amazing if you have a road without cars. Which is what I do now. 28,7 km a day. Decent exercise too. The off road part is pretty fun. Bit of a game to be honest.
With the market cap of their SOE's, they have a broader impact on their economy. Sure, china is the most socialist relevant country in the world as of now.
Censorship can be ranked like anything else can.
https://rsf.org/en/index like they are trying to do.
Sent you a message after clicking on your username on the post I got banned on, just to see if it reaches you.
I know Belgium isn't socialist, we're rather social democratic.
There's also market socialism which doesn't require public ownership, just that the workers own the company. Something like Huawei.
But the end result. We have a median net wealth of 250k euros per adult. I'm quite happy about that.
We have some nationalised stuff. Our commuting train company, post company, Bank and insurance, bus transport, télécommunications company. Infrabel.
The government plays a major role in our lives but they are still liberal.
They just tax and transfer. 45% of the GDP is tax revenue. Belgians are doing just fine.
Owning key industries is useful, like the french with their nuclear reactors. But you as employee it's better to have private options as well when it comes to employment.
Like in Cuba they have 1 employer. The government. Sure, the doctors get paid the most in the country, but still they flee to other Latin American countries so that they can fund their family in a luxurious housing unit in Havana.
This is because there's more competition to buy the doctors their services in those other Spanish speaking countries in the Americas.
Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike socialist economic stuff, if it's used properly.
I despise the censorship.
With the last ban, I messaged 3 people and none of them responded even though we were having quite some conversations in the thread. So I assume it doesn't reach. Lemme try again.
@Cowbee@lemme.ml so bruv, what were you saying? I got banned from that thread over there.
The logo of this Lemmy page is brilliant though aha
Fun link, Dessalines dude banned me too today. Only a 14 days ban though.
I ring my bell when I pass people that won't see me on my e-bike.
if I wanted to be a complete fucking jackass, I'd just pass them at 30 km per hour without making a sound.
I'm sure they would love that.
It's the responsibility of the vehicle user to make sure that people know of them.
Noise is extremely useful as it's a 360 radius.
It's annoying, but useful.
Unless you can come up with other solutions to make pedestrians aware of vehicles. Beyond just looking. It's extremely easy for a pedestrian to put their foot on the road before looking sideways just because he heard nothing.
We sell you items for euros. You give us USD for our euros. You spend the euros on what we produce.
We use your USDs to buy your companies.
Your population continues to buy our production..
Cycle continues
That's how China is buying stakes everywhere
Liège.... Oh no. No no no... What have you done liège? Why did you? I showed my wife all of the beautiful cities in Flanders. Then I said. Hey, let's go to wallonia.
Liège.... Why? What is the reason? Why must you suck out the souls of any resident? Dystopia. The most beautiful part is the river. Because that's the only part where cars cannot go.
Why, liège?
