Euro 2016 plus Brexit, a perfect time for passing new surveillance and censorship laws in Germany and the EU: https://
Arguing that it's Britain's fault, that the EU might reintroduce protectionist taxes on trade between both peoples, is a bit absurd.

Does anyone know what office I can talk to, if we want to give a non-EU citizen a student job for a semester in Berlin?

It boggles my mind that some people are very much into technological decentralization, but think that political centralization is just fine.
@skddc Sometimes the tradeoff bends in one direction, sometimes in the other. What is so surprising about that?
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker It never bends towards total centralization and total decentralization never hurt anyone.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker ... imho.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@skddc You're the one arguing for totalism. I haven't seen anybody who advocates total political centralization, i.e. dictatorships.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker Not true. A central parliamentary government is as centralized as a dictatorship. People are people. There's never one person.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@skddc Is the EU as centralized as a dictatorship for you?
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker Even more so, because a dictatorship couldn't even contain or justify that level of undemocratic centralized rulemaking.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@skddc "people are people", but how many of them participate in decision-making?
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker ... it's only possible under the veil of "democracy".
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker Very few in both systems. That's why centralization is always bad. Exactly the same as in technology.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@skddc It also doesn't have to justify anything, as opposed to the EU.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker Also untrue. Any system has to have a minimum level of consent among the governed to prevent its downfall.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker ... also very much the same as the current system. Less than a 5th of Germans actually voted for Merkel.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker ... and nobody ever gets in jail for scamming the public. You take your hat and that's it. No justification needed.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@skddc I already see that for you the proportions are completely different. No sense in discussing.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker If you're saying that 20% consent is justifying democratic dictatorship, then yes, I have very different proportions in mind.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@skddc I'm saying that 20 is larger than 0.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@skddc But I'm not even agreeing with your numbers.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker Then look at history. It's never 0. NSDAP were voted into government by a democratic majority. Can't overtake a country alone.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@untitaker Nothing to agree with really. It's a fact that most modern central democracies don't have majority consent among the governed.
, Jun 17 2016 on twitter.com
@skddc Well, my "facts" say the opposite.

Is alles in allem auch in uk eine gute Zeit um alles mögliche jetzt und vermutlich zukünftig durchzuziehen wo der Fokus so auf dem brexit liegt, und nun "endlich" die unliebsamen EU Regelungen fuer Verbraucherschutz und privacy bald nicht mehr greifen.
