@jimmydoreisalefty @Buffalox There is a lot to unpack there but let me focus on one thing.

According to your logic #Ukraine is *not* fighting against ita genocide at the hands of #Russia *because* they get tanks, ammo and general support from from the West/US/CIA/MI6?

So if I drop some body armor, old T-72 etc in Gaza you would say: its not genocide any more!

Or would it only count if I was CIA/MI6?

Mate, genocide aint just a bigly word to throw around. Whats the diff between premeditated murder, manslaughter and negligent homicide?

Hint; its not whether or not the victim wears body armor.

@BlameThePeacock @shani66 To add to this. The privitization of the Dutch energy market did drive down costs for the consumers.

It worked.

Untill the war in Ukraine. That wiped out any consumer gains and then some as we got hit with the full force of the exploded gasprices.

@Showroom7561 @ininewcrow Based regardless of the political party.

You know I find the nominal political viewpoints of conservatives(small c) just. Not exactly my cup of tea but like supporting armed gay married couples with a marihuana growing business while having a long term view towards a responasible budget is an entirely valid and respectable #policy position to have.

The brain melting Hybrid civil war they are waging on the other hand...

Not just in #Canada but across #Europe and the entire #West. Well what passes for The West now a days anyway.

@thanksforallthefish @Mee Dont let the good be the enemy of the perfect. We have the same over here in #Europe Every once in a while someone pops up and says 'what phone are you using Yuropoor hahaha gotcha'. If it was inconsequential it wouldnt cause such a stir.

Its a Marathon not a sprint.

Regardless thanks to you good people from #Canada for showing the way with #BuyCanadian and kickstarting the #BuyFromEU

 

Got here from @buyfromeu after switching browsers (from firefox to vivaldi) and making Qwant my search engine of choice.

Honestly I love @Vivaldi and I wish I knew of it beforehand. It has all sorts of nice features including this mastadon integration.
