Depebding on the country, Europe has significantly worse copyright law than the US, to the extent that archiving a web page is illegal.
Fun fact:
In Germany you have to pay a special tax for anything that could be used to violate copyright. It ranges from 0.10€ for USB sticks to 90€ for faster printers to 14,000,000€ for opening up a public library - all going to a bunch of publisher organizations.
I wish it polled for each possible position:
Don't worry, the youth will only become further right-wing.
Here's the result of a local German state election from September. It displays the results for people aged 18-24, divided into male (light) and female (dark). AfD is openly fascist. No other age group voted for them as much. Getting 46% in a system with proportional representation is basically unheard of by the way.
I very much suspect this trend will continue.
Why then do countries with existing left parties and proportional representation elect further and further right-wing parties in Europe?
It's simple: They promise easy solutions for complicated problems. Banning immigration will fix all crime and the economy, opposing LGBTQ+ rights will ensure a return of the better olden days, climate change is nothing to be worried about etc etc
And even people depending on social support will gladly shoot themselves in their feet if it means someone else will have it worse.
And so claimed my German ancestors.
Yet none of them fled the country, none of them joined the small, albeit existing resistance, none of those conscripted deserted the military and none of them claimed to have responsibility. Curious, isn't it? Everybody seemed to have clean hands because only a few thousand people directly orchestrated the Holocaust. The fact that it could only happen due to both mass support and mass toleration is ignored.
Considering my instance is registered on ".de," you have 3 guesses as to what my nationality is and who I voted for in the US election.
And I did not claim you are a Nazi. I claimed that you cannot absolve yourself from responsibility if your country commits or aids a genocide.
Everyone's hands are clean. The workers at Raytheon producing weapons that kills Palestinians, the people who finance that through taxes, whoever flies the plane or steers the ship delivering the weapons to Israel and even the American soldiers training Israeli forces with the new weapons.
Everyone of you can give plenty of reasons why they're not at fault. My German ancestors did the same in 1945. They "didn't know" or they couldn't have done anything against it or they voted for the social democrats in the last election or or or...
You're right in some regard though I still believe taking note of trends is important, don't you? If most pre-record civilizations we find have behaved and lived in a certain way it could tell us something notable about our past.
That's what I thought too, but wouldn't it be mentioned somewhere in the article? Like a line saying:
"The city government plans to demolish the bridge due to risk of collapse."
But why though?
Blind serbian nationalism would be my guess but there seems to be more. Why now and why dismantle a working bridge without replacement?
Hey baby... wanna watch Jellyfin and dismantle the patriarchy?
And an archive would be doing exactly that: Distributing copyrighted materials.
Moving to Europe is not necessarily a great idea depending on the country they choose. US copyright law is comparatively lenient to some European countries, who can be said to be (much more) controlled by publishers when it comes to copyright.
