I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

For the people who don’t know who he is
Ben-Gvir is a settler in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, whose “political background lies in Kahanism - a violently racist movement that supports the expulsion of Palestinians from their lands”. He has a long history of anti-Arab activism leading to dozens of indictments and at least eight convictions of crimes including incitement to racism and support for, as well as possession of propaganda of, a terrorist organization (the now illegal political party Kach). As a lawyer, he is known for defending Jews accused of Jewish extremist terrorism on trial in Israel.

And he is also elected (not by the people, but elected nontheless)

Yes, energy drinks shouldn’t be sold to children. An age limit that prevents selling to people below 16 seems like a good idea to me.
I still somewhat struggle to explain to myself why he won.
I’ve considered it being a protest vote, not one with a clear goal or particular signal in mind, but just as a F you to whomever was in power, but that doesn’t explain why people worship him.
I’ve considered it being a result of conspiracy theories and his ability to use those to his advantage by occasionally partial recognizing them and playing along with the story, but that doesn’t explain why over half the country would vote for him.
I’ve considered it being a consequence of Moscow trying to destabilize the US by supporting a candidate that is easily bought or manipulated. Although there definitely has been some interference, believing it to be effective to an extent of swaying the elections seems almost like wishful thinking at this point.In the end, I’m still not entirely sure what it is. Maybe you’re right and it’s really that simple.
Trump has won again, despite how he acted last time.
This is referring to the plans to create digital euro with GNU Taler, right?
GNU Taler (Taxable Anonymous Libre Electronic Resources) is a new secure electronic payment system based on open standards, free software, and advanced cryptography. GNU Taler provides privacy guarantees to the buyer while offering the possibility to audit merchants, making sale incomes transparent and fraud difficult. To online merchants and retailers, GNU Taler offers instant transaction clearance without risks of fake payment methods. Computations needed to clear the payments are efficient and scalable so that banks can pass on lower transaction costs to consumers and merchants. Consumers can withdraw money from their existing bank account into their GNU Taler wallet, detaching their spending habits from scrutiny, in the way cash does.
The NGI TALER project is funded under Horizon Europe (Pilots for the Next Generation Internet) with the aim of bringing GNU Taler to market across Europe.
6·1 month agoFor other people who didn’t know what Haaretz was:
Haaretz (Hebrew: הָאָרֶץ, lit. ‘The Land [of Israel]’; originally Ḥadshot Haaretz – Hebrew: חַדְשׁוֹת הָאָרֶץ, IPA: [χadˈʃot haˈʔaʁets], lit. ‘News of the Land [of Israel]’) is an Israeli newspaper. It was founded in 1918, making it the longest running newspaper currently in print in Israel. The paper is published in Hebrew and English in the Berliner format, and is also available online. In North America, it is published as a weekly newspaper, combining articles from the Friday edition with a roundup from the rest of the week. Haaretz is Israel’s newspaper of record. It is known for its left-wing and liberal stances on domestic and foreign issues.
As of 2022, Haaretz has the third-largest circulation in Israel. It is widely read by international observers, especially in its English edition, and discussed in the international press. According to the Center for Research Libraries, among Israel’s daily newspapers, “Haaretz is considered the most influential and respected for both its news coverage and its commentary.”
It’s not like they have to choose between killing them and letting them go, they could just lock them up for life too.
Yes, it does have a lot of similarities.
He does that to strongarm companies into complying, because it works. It’s also setting an example for other countries to cooperate.
He fucked over the UK so bad with brexit, and people still want to vote for him.
