Europe
Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).
Rules:
1. No Bigotry or Hate Speech
Any forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it.
Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.
2. No Zionism
Any forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism.
Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.
Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.
3. Stay Civil
Please maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.
4. No Misinformation
Spreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.
Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.
5. No AI Content
Please do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.
Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

I'm sorry, what the fuck dies that mean?
Is this some tankie shit I'm too sober to understand?
“Vermin” yikes
Shooting down civilian aircraft presenting no imminent danger is well within their right. Also yikes
And upvoted. Do better people.
I'll take a guess: A regime is a government. EU likely refers to the European Union, given the context.
The question is how you get the idea that european governments are regimes
The real question is why you wrote a response in English on an English threat and then included a fucking German definition for regime?
Really cleared up the whole situation there, bud. Thanks. Clear as dirt.
In english use, at least in my american experience, it is still a perjorative term but it is usually an accusation of authoritarianism levelled towards (usually democratic) governments and doesnt require it to be a dictatorship or totalitarian.
Most of the time it's used simply as a mark of disapproval. Calling it the currently elected government a regime is not uncommon usage.
Yeah it's just a negative way to refer to a government
Poliscie 101 has to be explained around here haha
Thank you for your service.
Yes. Check out their comments. Very edgy stuff.
Just because you don't understand basics, doesn't make it tankie shit dear.
