I’m of the opinion that even if it is final, at some points laws are so ridiculous they must cease to be effective for all.

If you think someone can opt out of responsibility for partaking in repression, then I got bad news for you, yes.

Which goes to show it didn’t go as far as it could’ve.

They might indeed call it unrealistic to actually go on and prosecute all (and reasonably so given that recovery was key), but at least most of the top and key individuals should’ve gotten further consequences. Werner von Braun got off light.

There’s much the USSR did terribly, but at least it was thorough with its treatment of Nazis after the war. That said, at the end of day, anarchocommunism >>>> state & surveillance capitalism. Stalin still allied with Hitler.

A waste of space and oxygen, those televangelists are.

Fun fact: during the Nuremberg trials it was determined that the “just following orders” excuse was in fact, not valid; and that someone always ought to disobey their superiors when that goes against liberty.

A true People’s Republic would have less surveillance noncence than this.

The UK is a literal 1984 in the works.

What is Stripe?

Aah, I was thinking moreso like this vibe

I mean, in my area we do have the ability to put bicycles on trains and buses alike. Though you don’t attach them at the back, you just enter the vehicle with your bike.

If it’s a foldable, you can always enter for free (so no added fee on top of the fare). For non-foldable bikes the same applies, though if you do that during rush hour you will have to pay a small fee.

Super convenient, really. Way cheaper also than having a car (as in, the vroom vehicle). You bike from home, enter bus/train, maybe switch from bus to train, and then exit and bike the last few kilometres.

Don’t need to look long for a parking spot, don’t need to pay much in petrol, no need to focus on traffic, can enjoy the view or do work/hobbies/listen to music while travelling, and so on.

Only downside is that here the fares are pretty high, but the Green & Labour Party is proposing to enable unlimited travelling across the entire country for less than €60 per month outside of rush hours.

For comparison, travelling from one end to another of the country right now would cost €30 per trip. A typical 4-day commute of 40 km per trip would cost around €320 per month now (accounting for travelling both ways).

So, the Green & Labour Party’s proposal would result in fares becoming more than 80% cheaper(!) for everyone.

Aah, gotcha, that makes more sense. I got confused then, I guess.

And what about bicycles?

I think we shouldn’t let cars be attached, but bicycles be able to.
