@nprofile…60lz It's dangerous to focus on Trump alone. This guy is not a genius. In fact, what he does and the way he talks paints a picture of a madman without any connection to reality, who struggles to speak in coherent sentences.
Even though he is the face of a fascist movement, the real danger are the people behind Trump. The conspirators of Project 2025, who provided him with a comprehensive tutorial on how to dismantle democracy to build an authoritarian state which benefits mainly economic elites and oppresses and exploits the populus, his cabinet which comes up with destructive ideas based on conspiracy theories every hour and his rich "friends" who use his position as a means of controlling the state to turn legislation in their personal favor.
Trump is a useful idiot and someone the cult can turn to for a boost of their wannabe-rebel ego.

There might be a breach of 89 million Steam 2FA codes and possibly user credentials via a supplychain-attack at the Valve 3rd party supplier "Twilio."
As far as I know, this is still unconfirmed, but out of an abundance of caution, if you have a Steam account, change your password, reset your 2FA code / enable 2FA, and make sure you're not reusing your Steam password anywhere else. These accounts will be compromised as well.

How does banning a party work in Germany, and why do we even want to ban a party?
a simple explanation
One of the German intelligence agencies, specifically the "Bundesverfassungsschutz" (Federal Constitution Protection Agency), has produced a more than 1000 pages long report about the AfD, a party you surely know by now.
The report contains a thorough analysis of AfD's ideology and their connection to extremist groups all over the world.
In itself, this report and the work the agancy does is something like a warning system. The agancy itself can not make any decisions about the legitimacy of a party, and neither can they interfere or disrupt a parties political work. All they are allowed to do is to listen in and collect proof of a parties anti-democratic/unconstitutional tendencies and plans using intelligence gathering techniques like hiring informants, tapping phone lines, analyzing network traffic, etc... This is only allowed, if significant concerns have been raised about a parties or other groups members might be acting against our constitution or are planning serious action against our democratic state. If a preliminary analysis confirms those concerns, the agancy gets the power to use said surveillance against the party or organisation.
In the case of the AfD, they have been a suspected extremist party for several years now, allowing the agancy to surveil their communications and inner workings, until they came to the conclusion, that the AfD is indeed fighting our democratic state and are following a right-wing extremist ideology, something that is incompatible with our constitution.
Now that a flag has been raised, there are obvious reasons the party needs to be hindered from successfully eroding or even destroying our democracy. In Germany we have a paragraph in our constitution that allows for a ban of all parties, groups, and organisations that are aggressively attacking the foundation of our free democratic state, are planning to remove the constitution, or to significantly alter it by force or with other antidemocratic means.
How that works: The ONLY way to ban a party here in Germany, is to task our supreme court (Bundesverfassungsgericht) to review a parties incompatibility with our constitutional law and to declare a ban on them and all following organisation's trying to bring back that party. The review process often takes years and is extremely thorough since banning a party is a pretty extreme "ultima ratio" measure.
The idea behind banning a party is not to convince them or their voters that they were on the wrong path or to punish them in favor of other parties. The paragraphs for banning a party, group, or organisation state explicitly that a ban is only constitutional when it is done to protect the state, it's institutions and citizens from harm coming from said party, etc.
The voters will still be there. The members will still be extremist. But the party as an organized way of preparing harmful actions will be destroyed and all following attempts to bring it back under a new name, with a new image, etc. will be outlawed as well.
Last but not least, our German supreme court, which specializes explicitly on dealing with issues related to the constitution and the constitutional rights of the people, will not start the process of banning a party on its own. It needs to be tasked with that by either the parliament (Bundestag), the senate (Bundesrat), or the acting government (Bundesregierung).
After having been tasked with the review, the court will start a long investigation into the organisation, in our case the AfD, and will collect evidence that supports the claim that they are unconstitutional. For that, it also uses the 1100-page report of the "Verfassungsschutz", police reports, other court cases against the party, etc.
Should the court decide the AfD is actually unconstitutional, which in my opinion, and the opinion of many experts here, is highly likely, the party will be banned and ordered to seize all its operations, and to disband their headquarters and all other places they've worked in. They will also be forbidden to found a new party trying to replace it. If the party continues to organize action, not as a party any more but as a banned organisation, law enforcement will enforce the ban and disrupt any action taken by members of it, that contribute to the goals of the former party.
Now that the report is public, the pressure on our government, parliament and senate is rising to ask the Supreme Court to review a ban of the AfD. If this actually happens remains to be seen.

Blanket-bans SUCK.
Over and over, I hear voices who demand bans on #socialmedia access for people below a certain age or general bans of social media.
Please stop thinking you can just ban the problem away. Think for example about the people who use social media as a safe space... the LGBTQ+ #kids and teens in some conservative hinterland who use social media to be able to connect to other #queer kids, which is impossible to do safely in public...
To solve the (anti-)social media issue, we need #education and #moderation, not generalized #bans for a certain group.

America is now an adversary.
If we like it or not, the #US has gone from being a, not perfect, but valuable ally, to being an unpredictable, threatening #adversary.
#Threats of #sanctions, #tariffs, election #interference and even #military force had us reassessing our stance towards the US and from my own perspective, I'm seeing more and more people in charge realizing that the US have now become a danger to our democratic stability, independence, progress, and wealth.
I hope, that going forward, Europe will start building US-independent infrastructure, an independent military, and stable policies that prevent foreign interference from (wanna-be) dictators and especially fascists. There is a huge lesson to be learned here for everyone who hadn't before. If we let the rich govern our states or give populists and radical to extremist forces any power, they will try to dismantle a stable state for either their own gain or for a certain ideology they wanna push by force.
Looking over to the US, we must not make the same mistakes and make absolutely sure, that our checks and balances, especially the judicial branch, are safe from (foreign) interference and extremist power grabs.
Now that this is out there,
thanks for listening to my TED talk, have a nice day, take good care of yourself and spread some love to the people around you :)

I've started noticing more and more entirely AI generated "Shorts" on YouTube.
AI visuals, AI story, AI voice, etc.
The pictures in the background are all GenAI. The lines the robot voice is saying sound unnatural. Not because the grammar is bad or anything, but it feels "off" if you get what I mean. Too sterile for something a human would say. And the topics that are being talked about sound like someone prompted "create a script for topic X, so it can be read out aloud in a YouTube short" in ChatGPT...
I don't know what to think of that... It just feels wrong. Shorts are already mostly braindead. And now... ugh.
