In Catalonia le grande imprese hanno affittato vigne e terreni mezzo abbandonati nella parte povera e li hanno riempiti di turbine eoliche come se fosse un bosco. Hanno distrutto un paesaggio e la gente che vive li paga gli stessi prezzi per l'eletricitá che pagano tutti. Decisione difficile.

When I lived in the UK the most rabid UKIP supporters (also bigoted racists) where people who lived in small villages in the countryside. Unfair that votes in metropolitan areas have less weight than those in less populated rural areas; the result is a disproportionate support for the far right.

When mainstream media becomes a tool of far right propaganda the result is dumb people voting for perceived threats (immigrants bla bla bla) and not real ones (increased inequality, services privatization, corporate land grab, anti environmental rhetoric etc) which is what the far right supports.

Just read this article about Perpignan and I didn't realise how far right it had become last time I visited.

What's happening in the US is an unfolding nightmare. The Dems made a gigantic mistake by not anticipating the issues with Biden and, unless something extraordinary happens in the coming weeks, Trump will win and the humanity will face the beginning of a new world order.

After that rosy article I had a long chat with an Iranian friend who said that nothing is what it seems and that Pezeshkian is just another puppet set up by Ali Khamenei. Repression will continue until the religious dictatorship will fall.

The victory of Pezeshkian in Iran is big news and should be on all international front pages. After years of horrors brought by backward hardliners Iranians have elected a reformist defying all predictions.

Just looking at the numbers: Reform got the third highest number of votes 4.091.549. Luckily they got very few seats but this needs to be nipped at the bud.

A shame that Suella kept her seat. One of the biggest hypocrites.

It still lacks a lot of aspects that people expect from a social network, video upload being the principal one but also bookmarks, better DM, and a much higher refresh rate. Also no major celebs yet (which could be a bonus!).

Every sigle democracy needs to tighten up the loopholes that allow a party part financed by a terrorist state to run for elections. This cannot continue.

Il cinema ci ha venduto un immagine di una USA molto differente dalla realità. Fuori dalle grandi città regna una cultura di individualismo estremo e l'unico punto d'incontro sono la moltitudine di chiese fondamentaliste che si trovano dappertutto. È un paese che fa paura.

È un fanatismo collettivo che trascende la logica. Il movimento ultra religioso (Christofascism) che si ha insediato al fianco di Trump, con piani di sovvertire la democrazia (Project 2025), ha influenzato alla grande quella gente impressionabile molto presente nel mondo rurale che purtroppo vota.
