Slap some porn on the restricted internet and who's left to protest?
Funny how not a single TV channel here covered it...
Next week: Thousands of Russians vanish mysteriously.
Better jail them for 15 days.
The legislation is part of a drive by officials to increase Russian “sovereignty” over its Internet segment.
The Russian government seems to understand the power of the internet as a propaganda tool better than most. It's a shame how they intend on using it. Essentially, Putin knows he can influence foriegn nations using the internet, and wants to protect himself from them doing the same to him.
Internet protests against thousands of Russians
And then we get european bots saying a restricted internet in Russia would be a good thing, only to find out it was all a deep step plot from Dota players around the world
Pictured: People who are about to see a Gulag from the inside.
My condolences to their families when each of these clumsy protestors accidentally stab themselves in the back twenty times while making breakfast.
It feels like Russia is becoming China 2 Electric boogaloo at this rate except it's economy is in shambles.
Very funny you guys, dictatorships are such a laughing matter. Especially when, - ya know, - it can actually happen that some of those people can wind up in jail.
EU is not better unfortunately, ACTA is still coming back like a boomerang.
And EU fasten up these negotiations to avoid protests. Makes you wonder...
EU isn't an authoritarian shithole, so I'd argue it's much better actually.
Source?
Democratic nations are going to become fewer and fewer as the power-hungry grow desperate in the light of increasing technological advancement.
It wasn't meant to be funny unfortunately.
Only thing the EU is doing, correction Right Wing Members of the EU parliament is jumping on internet copyright measures. While it's bad and can be misused, it is nowhere near the levels of authoritarian bullshit Russia and China are peddling.
Humor is a way of dealing with shitty situations. I legitimately think any topic can be joked about, and tact is knowing who deserves to be the butt of the joke. The joke is not "haha look at these dumbass protesters who are going to jail", the joke is "look at the absurdity of such a terrible fucking government existing and having power in the modern world."
let me stop you at declining natural resources.
You remember shale oil yeah? well some conservative estimates put our shale reserves at nearly 4 times as much as traditional oil reserves. We have at a minimum enough oil for the next 3 centuries due to this breakthrough.
As for minerals the hard part is extracting, processing and transporting not finding them. Even things like platinum aren't particularly rare in the context of modern society and its needs.
Population crisis aren't all that much of a big deal either. As societies get more and more complex people have less children and I suspect the total human population will never go above 11 billion on earth.
The flooding of the ocean and the coastal cities is going to be a gradual thing not some disaster that happens at one singular moment and humans are really good at adapting on the fly and coming up with a bunch of little half assed solutions to incremental problems.
Rare earth metals are not rare at all. They're more or less evenly distributed in the earths crust which makes them a pain in the ass to refine much unlike iron or gold veins and cannot be made without producing a massive amount of pollution and a blatant disregard for worker and environment safety. REM mines also require a fuckton of capital just to get the ball rolling because you need so much equipment and so many facilities to simply produce the damned things nevermind being competitive.
indium is the only truly annoying thing to get in that whole list and as we speak cheaper alternatives are being researched. Smartphones absolutely will not go away in 2050 because by that time think of all the advances in ore and metal extraction and then think of how streamlined a smartphone will be by that time if its even produced at all and hasn't become some relic of years long past.
isnt that because of euroskeptics intentionally voting yes to things that actively make the EU worse so they can justify hating it
Thats cool and all except the exact same picture you used to debunk him says pretty much essentially what he said??? Being that they are common, though too costly to extract from where they are commonly found at this current time.
Whatcha gonna do when all the pollinators die off? We're already witnessing collapses of insect populations. You can't eat hydrocarbons no matter how efficiently you pull them from the ground.
Nothing but topless pics of Putin
