Now it's really starting to look suspicious and power abusive.

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"Starting looking suspicious", huh?

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 months ago

Here I meant that their previous attempts were less shady, even though the intentions were suspicious. Now the methods of getting this law passed are getting suspicious too.

I gonna lose my shit.. How can they force it this much

[–] nous@programming.dev 69 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They only need it to pass once, we need it to be rejected every single time.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 21 points 2 months ago

This right here. We need to do the right thing over and over again, because once it passes it's done.

Literally how hackers operate.

The hackers need to succeed once to get in. You need to succeed every time to not fail.

thats because they want to watch you much much closer, but still pretend that decision was democratic. so they try again until we are too fed up to care.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 2 months ago

Here we go again

I just requested it. Shame on them for trying to keep this in the shadows, bunch of crooks.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 32 points 2 months ago (2 children)

For fuck's sake, guys, c'mon! Do we have to do this again, really?

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 months ago

Again and again, as many times as it takes to get through, apparently

The children they deem to protect are trembling in fear right now.

Chat, is this real?

[–] foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 months ago

Shit here we go again.

Already posted about months ago : https://lemmy.ml/post/16469106, it was refused but they will try each time, again and again. Waiting for the 4 September result.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

So what actual people are responsible for this? If somebody were to dox them, they wouldn't care, right? Because nothing to hide, nothing to fear right?

80s and 90s = peak humanity.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Depends on where you were in the 80s and 90s. If you were in America, the future EU, or Eastern Asia, for example, those were great times. If you were in Rwanda, Bosnia, or Afghanistan (The Soviet-Afgan war) I doubt many people call that peak humanity.

[–] CazzoneArrapante@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

Yaddayaddayadda Rwanda yaddayaddayadda Bosnia, heard these bullshit excuses 1000 times. Not Rwandan or Yugoslavian therefore don't care.

[–] krnl386@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The only way to combat this is to vote the assholes out at the end of their term.

Extreme leftists are getting a little too comfortable all over the world it seems.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I don't think this is a political issue. There is support for this kind on legislation across political lines.

The only way to stop this is to call out the leadership who is wanting this. That means breaking down political barriers so that a leader or representative can be called out my all. When things become political you end up seeing politically leaning organizations ignoring representatives who are of the same political party. It becomes more of political slander than actual concerns.

I hope this is sarcasm

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

british flag and EU? what?

Probably referring to the fact that the following text is in English (as opposed to German).
