How is that different from now?
In most cases there is only the accuser and accused that are witnesses.
The court will still have to evaluate if the statements made are believable and evidence is consistent with it or not.
Sweden has these laws since quite a while. Contrary to the outrage back then, it seems there has been no relevant increase in false allegations being prosecuted.
It is still criminal law so “innocent until proven guilty”.
The issue was that before “didnt resist, but wasnt physically incapable” was enough to not make it rape, even if there is other reasons why the victim might not resist, being too scared to resist being the obvious one.
I recently had an online event about using “AI” in my industry, construction.
The presentor finished on “Now is no the time to wait, but to get doing, lest you want to stay behind”.
She gave examples of some companies she found that promised to help with “AI” in the process of designing constructions. When i asked her, if any of these companies are willing to take the legal risk that the designs are up to code and actually sound from an engineering perspective, she had to deny.
This sums it up for me. You get sold a hype by people who dont understand (or dont tell) what it is and isnt to managers who dont understand what it is and isnt over the heads of people who actually understand what it is or at least what it needs to be to be relevant. And these last people then get laid off or f*ed over in other ways as they have twice the work than before because now first they need to show to management why the “AI” result is criminal and then do all the regular design work anyways.
It is the same toxid dynamic like with any tech bro hype before. Just now it seems to look good at first and is more difficult to show why it is not.
This is especially dangerous when it comes to engineering.
Multiple soldiers also admitted to Israeli News outlets that they did that on October 7 2023 to prevent Civillians from being taken back into Gaza as hostages.
At the end of the day all those people are ticking time bombs.
They have been trained to find it normal to murder people randomly. They have been cheered on for murdering women and children.
A lot of them will murder their partner and children, rape women who give them a rejection and get into physical fights over nothing.
The goal is to pressure the allies of the bully beating up everyone into holding him accountable. The allies who pride themselves in upholding law and morals in the world.
At least this seems to be a slight improvement as Israel this time neither bombed the ship like a month before nor murdered a people like in 2010.
On the flip side the politically strong fascists in Israel will be fuming, why the ship is still afloat and the people still alive.
Lol. UAE is a money laundering smuggling hub.
A lot of gold and other resources dug up by slaves in Africa beholden to Wagner mercenaries and local warlords, often with great connections to Moscow, are laundered through the UAE.
This is another “fuck you” to Ukraines defense efforts.
Zwar ohne Einsatz der Armee, aber ansonsten ähnliche Muster sind auch in Deutschland, GB und anderen EU Staaten zu beobachten.
Protest wird überall in der westlichen Welt zunehmend kriminalisiert und mit Repressionen überzogen.
The ADL that excused Musks Nazi-Salute, despite Musk having spread antisemitic conspiracies on Twitter befote.
Ziel der Geheimverträge sei gewesen, die Öffentlichkeit von der Klimapolitik der EU zu überzeugen.
Die unzureichende Klimapolitik der EU? Jetzt wird aus Greenwashing dank entsprechender Narrative noch eine Klimaverschwörung gedichtet, und der Kampf gegen die Klimakatastrophe doppelt ausgebremst.
As many of the bombs dropped by the US and UK have time delay fuses that didn’t trigger, we will see bombs exploding in the ground in the decades to come.
Screwed into a bomb’s tail beneath its stabilizing fins, the fuse contained a small glass capsule of corrosive acetone mounted above a stack of paper-thin celluloid disks less than half an inch in diameter. The disks held back a spring-loaded firing pin, cocked behind a detonator. As the bomb fell, it tilted nose-down, and a windmill in the tail stabilizer began spinning in the slipstream, turning a crank that broke the glass capsule. The bomb was designed to hit the ground nose-down, so the acetone would drip toward the disks and begin eating through them. This could take minutes or days, depending on the concentration of acetone and the number of disks the armorers had fitted into the fuse. When the last disk weakened and snapped, the spring was released, the firing pin struck the priming charge and—finally, unexpectedly—the bomb exploded.
These style of fuses if not triggered back then, could instead trigger now as the paper decays from ageing, humidity and the like.

Can someone with knowledge of these things say, if we would face similar privacy and security issues (from the citizens perspective) with the digital Euro project?
You see children next to the road, you slow down. You are the adult operating the deadly machine. You have a duty to be extra careful around kids.
During my driving lessons in Germany i learned that you always have to slow down around kids. Kids are unpredictable. Kids do not pay attention all the time. Kids struggle with estimating distances and speeds of cars coming your way.
Unless the case is something like “Kids jumped from a bridge right in front of your car.” There is no way that the driver couldn’t have done something to prevent the accident or at least form it being a fatal accident.
I don’t get the fuss. American “terrorism” prevention is super easy:
Is someone white? -> Troubled upbringing, mental health issues, deserves a second chance
Is someone anything but white? -> Terrorist!!! lock him up for the rest of his life or torture him to death in Guantanamo Bay
Best that will be offered is getting drunk and high in a very revealing outfit at a “CSD parade” mainly serving for companies to pink-wash.
Bringing some of those countries together will be challenging, but it comes at a urgent time for the EU to develop its own geopolitical position independent from the US.
The EU strategic approach to the Black Sea region does not come as an isolated regional response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. It is a part of a new package of EU policy initiatives tailored to the broader new geopolitical dynamics including the recently adopted European Union Preparedness Strategy, ProtectEU – a new European Internal Security Strategy, the White Paper on Defence, the new Action Plan to strengthen the security and resilience of Submarine Cables and upcoming - a European Oceans Pact, the European Ports Strategy, a European Democracy Shield, initiatives. This reflects a streamlined and coordinated approach across the EU, with a focus on defence, resilience and preparedness, in the current global geopolitical context
The strategy will be implemented in synergy with the enlargement process and with the Eastern Partnership, a strategic and ambitious policy framework based on common values, mutual interest and shared ownership. It will be instrumental in developing the Connectivity Agenda based on existing partnerships and governance mechanisms in trade, energy, transport and digital sectors. In this context, the Global Gateway strategy will play a significant role. Global Gateway boosts smart, clean and secure connections in digital, energy and transport sectors and to strengthen health, education and research systems across the world. It is the EU’s positive offer to partner countries aiming to foster sustainable development and resilience through value-driven investments. Global Gateway supports the twin green and digital transitions outside the EU by mobilising public and private sector resources and strengthening strategic connectivity.
We will see, if the aspects are developed on equal levels or security dominates the economic and environmental aspects. Without an ecologically and socially sustainable foundation, any security efforts will ultimately lead to more destabilization.
Not just Russia.

Biden prided himself in having more deportations than Trump during his first term.
Both US parties are racist and classist af. The Dems just coat it with more pretense
