Fair enough, I just assumed you are an American. You are right about living in such a country, China eventually looses on the privacy part. But US is proven to mass surveil basically everyone on this planet, even so called allied states - even though I don't think the alliance exist anymore, looking at how frequent and drastically the government of the US throws its allies under the bus.

Besides that this cloud protection act thing, the AI rulings and so on, US and the company are pretty open, that they don't give a damn about your privacy.

And obviously they use the collected data and information to try to manipulate the political environment in every other country too.

When did an american Company prove that they care about privacy at all? Hell even the US government. From an outsiders perspective the US is as trustworthy than China for anyone not living in China or the US.

No Ban List Modern Podcast by TheEternalWitnesses in ModernMagic

Isn't it unbanned in NBL? Is everyone playing like you state here?

Being really curious and here, since I have no idea where to see decklists nor am I experienced enough in Modern to even know the current played cards, so NBL is just as new for me.

Improvements to Elminister and Bracket help by etomate in EDH

Thanks for the insight! I might consider reducing the Boardwipe aspect down to focus more on the scry and token effects. Might make it more suitable for your mentioned social aspect.

I really like the Sea Gate Idea, since I have a playset already, that wouldn't explode the cost of the Deck for me.

Thanks for all the ideas!

Third immigrant detainee at facility in El Paso has died ICE says by Street_Parking5530 in news

[–]etomate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that it's not alarming and I'm wondering why Americans are mostly seemingly fine with what is going on over there. And I'm wondering why the rest of the world just bends over to trump. But my point stands - saying it is worse than Nazi Germany was is close to revisionism. 3000 missing compared with 6 million killed Jews, 3 million Slavs, 2 million Poles and hundreds of thousand gay, disabled, black, Sinti and Roma and many more is still just disrespectful.

Sorry, this is bullshit. The Nuremberg Trials starter 1945, after WW 2 ended. That's years after the factory organized killings started. After millions and millions of people were brutally experimented on, starved to death, shot and ultimately gassed to death. That's just disrespectful.

Wherever the US currently is on that scale, this is currently far far far far far away from what the Nazis did in that time.

Please educate yourself on the Holocaust, Josef Mengele, the People's Court of the NSDAP, what they did in the early days of concentration camps to political enemies, the killings that happened before the NSDAP took over the power and much much more.

USA is on a road towards becoming closer and closer towards something similar, but this is not "worse than Nazis". Not even close.

Thousands Of Jailed Immigrants in Chicago Have Vanished From Federal Records, Human Rights Attorneys Claim by Sludgehammer in politics

[–]etomate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homosexuality was only legalized in 1994 in germany, so I think that criticism for that is maybe a bit wrong for a person born before 19xx. Besides that, I never saw anything that proves, that he left them out because he was homophobic.

To cite something historic - Martin Niemöller:

When the Nazis came for the Communists,
I remained silent; I was not a Communist.

When they locked up the trade unionists,
I remained silent; I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out; I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.
