Fachists supporting fachists. Nothing new.

What's part of the reason Russia wants to occupy Ukraine. Its a lot easier to defend - against what enemy Russia thinks it needs to defend itself. Its not like someone is seriously planning to attack a nuclear power.

Thats the whole point: it doesnt call for the reduction of fossil fuels. The idea behind the draft is that we continue to invest and consume fossil fuels until some magic technology saves us by capturing and storing the CO2.

But thats something the country should decide – and not something the next colonizer decides.

Except for China being the colonizer now.

Its actually more environmental friendly to use a diesel generator to load an EV, than using internal combustion engines. Their are just really inefficient.

Thats part of the small state they want to achieve, right?

Lemmy.ml is already in full anti-US imperialism mode, saying that the western imposed sanctuary of borders needs to stop and the US puppet state of Guyana has to surrender to Venezuela.

So I wouldn't trust that the UN can step in, if Russia or China takes this stance as well.

So the only reasonable take is, that we don't pay enough for consuming music, right? Because you have no label taking a cut and streaming services are not profitable themselves.

Spotify made this quarter the first time a profit since it existence. So if you think artists aren't paid enough, its either of these three:

1. We pay too little for consuming music.

2. The record labels take a too big share.

3. Spotify is really inefficient and could pay out more if they work more efficiently.

The only thing not possible is Spotify taking all the profit since they don't make any.
