Usual reminder that politico is owned by Germanys largest right leaning yellow press publisher Axel Springer: https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/axel-springer-acquire-news-website-politico-2021-08-26/
So take everything with a grain of salt on there.
Thanks, wasn’t aware of that.
Is there a Europe focus source that is more neutral?
BBC, Euronews and Deutsche Well are highly factual while having centre-left bias according to mediabiasfactcheck.com which is why I favor using them to post news to Lemmy.
In the same way, I assume, that universities and public institutions have a left-leaning bias.
Reality having liberal bias is implied ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Interesting, thanks
All news media are the same shit bags, you can not find out that is not tainted trash.
That’s a very Russian disinformation type of stance.
You think everything online is Russian.
That’s a very Russian disinformation type of stance.
I don’t know how you got to this conclusion. No, I don’t. But you can ask all the Russian slaves what they think about the media and they’ll tell you all about how you can’t trust any of them, hence why it is best to be apolitical morons that don’t believe in anything.
Why are people calling it liberalization?
Two reasons:
- There are long term plans to legalize it. Currently it may be against International Law so it will take a while until it can be opened for all. The first action will be scientific observed modell citys.
- The decriminalisation will aim to destroy the black market. This is done by allowing social clubs than can grow their own plants and hand their members up to 50 Gramms. That is a lot and the implicite idea is that this amount will also allow a bit of interchange without being enough to drive a illegal business.
From what I’m reading there are plenty of caveats. It’s much more than decriminalization but definitely can’t be called legalization.
It sounds just like legalization here in the US
Legalization usually implies allowing some degree of commercialization, otherwise you end up with weird middle ground like Netherlands. What Germany is doing isn’t even going as far as Netherlands do, at least for now since there are going to be pilot programs for small scale shops (on top of currently proposed clubs).
US is vastly different from state to state, ranging from cannabis being illegal, through medical use being allowed with varying degrees of ease of prescriptions, all up to full legalization including commercialization.
