and the company
Surely the company would never be just as authoritarian as the state!

No, you just made a likely bad faith argument he couldn't be bothered to engage with.
There has been a rise in far-right parties in many countries, many of which don't officially label themselves as fascist for plausible deniability, while spouting clearly fascist rhetoric. Their current scapegoats of choice include (but are not limited to) immigrants and lgbtq people.
But if you're not being disingenuous, what do you think fascism is?
Our justice system might not be perfect, but it is the best option we have.
This was said about every system throughout history to justify injustice.
Say what you want about marxist-leninists but they're not "very extreme right fascists". Do you have any evidence for your claim or are you just doing your part in decreasing political literacy?
Thanks for the info.
My concern is less about the reliability of the provided info and more the bias of the voice/language being used, and the choice of which facts get reported on. To me, this Politico article reads as rather sympathetic to the right wing.
Ultimately I don't think "unbiased" reporting truly exists, it'd be better if journalists (and their editors/employers) were transparent about conflicts of interest, like in scientific publications (even though it's not like that's likely to happen, so the reality is that anyone seeking such info has to find it out by themself). Not to mention how the left-right spectrum is pretty subjective and vague.
Does anyone have an alternative source?Politico Europe is owned by Axel Springer SE, and Axel Springer was apparently like Germany's Murdoch.
Not my photo and I don't entirely remember its context but I'd saved it back then because it really struck me how blatant the Bernie censorship was
I'm not surprised one bit
You could share this sublemmy's pinned post, or the megathread it links to:
Ik it's only anecdotal, but I played Brawl Stars when it was in beta and witnessed almost all its updates until global launch (and have caught up with some more recent updates here and there). It went from a genuinely fun mobile game with character and potential to a plastic husk primed for whatever monetisation and "engagement" strategies analytics says needs to be shoved into it next.
At the time I couldn't fathom how all those updates that often made gameplay and progression less fun could ever be more "engaging" (the change from portrait to landscape in particular felt like straight up poor game design, trashing its unique mobile control schemes in favour of digital twin joysticks and "autoaim"), but in hindsight it's clear what that really meant.
Fix the laws?
Good joke!
They can use the state to do that for them
