Doublethink is strong in these people.

The leader of the PEGIDA movement that did many far right anti refugee demos in 2015 and 2016 had fled to South Africa in the 90s to avoid a prison sentence for multiple break ins. He then was convicted for robberies, drug dealing, scams, the whole ordeal.

Of course their main "argument" was that all refugees would be criminals and increase the crime rate in Germany.

Naja, Krah hat immerhin 8 Kinder mit 3 verschiedenen Frauen. Es scheint also einen Markt für Menschen wie ihn zu geben und auf dem ist er erfolgreich.

Ich denke nicht. Die EU hat konkrete Regeln zum Umgang der Plattformen mit Hassrede und anderen illegalen Inhalten. Es gibt keinen Grund die Plattform zu verbieten, außer sie ist in Gänze illegal. Es müssen nur die bestehenden Mittel angewandt werden.

It was also absurd at the time. The way he talks about REACH is insane. He thinks the chemical industry in the EU wasnt powerful enough to lobby against unessescary legislation?

REACH is the minimum we agreed on to not have everyone and their dog be exposed to harmful chemicals and work towards using somewhat less harmful chemicals.

What he was demanding there is deregulating in the style of putting lead back into gasoline.

The UK thought it was getting a poor deal, when it had the most exceptions in the EU. It will still need another generation or two for the UK to realise that it is not the old empire anymore.

The issue with our impact on the nitrogen cycle is that it is exceeding the planetary boundaries significantly. Same for Phosphor https://www.stockholmresilience.org/research/planetary-boundaries.html

However if we look at the countries with the highest use of chemical fertilizers per Capita it is also countries with industrialized agriculture that focus on meat production or cash crops.

We use about half of global agricultural lands for animal feed. So the nitrogen fertilizers are not needed to sustain nutrition. They are needed to sustain the meat overconsumption in wealthy countries.

That is what contraceptions is for and countries where contraception and abortions are readily available don't have 80% lower birth rates than the US.

We can make nitrogen fertilizers just fine with the Haber Bosch process and Hydrogen electrolysis. All you need for that is water, air and electricity.

Also crop yields are perfectly suitable to feed all of the global population without using fertilizers. It just requires farmin techniques, that are not suitable for industrial farming for profit maximising companies. On the contrary the current way of industrial farming destroys the yields as it erodes soils physically, chemically and biologically. If we continue farming like this for another century or two we will face severe global starvation.

It is all the more reason to switch both in the use of fossil fuels and the way of current agriculture sooner rather than later.

One in a Thousand ist still low enough that it is very likely you will never meet a person involved with this in your entire life. In the EU the rate of traffic death per 100,000 people per year is at about 7.5. So for any given person the chance of dying in a traffic accident in 13.3 years is as high as that.

Over a life span of 80 years the probability of knowing one incestous person is as likely as knowing 6 people that died in traffic accidents at current accident rates and assuming independant and random distributions.

I'd be more shocked to lose 6 friends to traffic accidents over my lifetime than one of them turning out to have had an incestous relationship.

Isnt the federations key idea to avoid collapse if any single instance it failing? This sounds like the system has become too centralized around lemmy.world

You fill a barrel full of Ammonium-Nitrate fertilizer and put a 30-120 seconds delay fuze depending on expected depth. You start the fuze and drop it into the water. Voila Depth-Charge.

For non military or explorative purposes there is absolutely no reason to go that deep. The "submarine experience" at 50m is the same as at 250m. And it smells terribly, because recycling sweaty air only goes that far.
