  you can’t just emigrate to somewhere.
  Curious about your elevation point, since we (with NL) are called the low countries.
  Flat as a pancake except for some Ardennes, which are nice.
  If it’s for climate stuff you should know this means we are on or just above sea level, and some even below.
  We do get high a lot tho.

    Curious about your elevation point

    Over 60+meters above sea level, expecting all the glaciers melt after 3.0°C

    I’m aware how lengthy and unaccepting emigrations are throughout Europe. I know at minimum it takes 6months to 3 years to validate permanent residency.

  I’d say that European nations have a different understanding of press freedom. Mind that the individual nations have different attitudes toward this.

  In Germany, press means mainly newspapers. The publishers owning these papers are very keen on copyright enforcement. Copyright does conflict with freedom of information but, I think, most would not see a conflict with press freedom.

  The EU is determined to regulate who is allowed to use data for what purpose and to create the legal tools to enforce that. That’s not limited to copyright. I’m very worried about that trend on many levels.

  But I don’t think Yuri creators will face problems in most EU countries in the foreseeable future.

    But blocking Anna’s Archive, Libgen, OceanofPDF, Z-Library, and the Internet Archive’s Open Library. is such a terrible way to express that you hate press.

    Science and academics should be freely pressed, without the authoritarianism of copyright. If my yuri koma was discuss prion synthesis, you shouldn’t deter me for referencing the journal.

      You can see how trully Freedom-loving mainstream Liberal parties are, even in Europe, by looking at the domains were Freedom Of Ideas clashes with Ideas As Property such as science publishing: almost all of those “Liberal” mainstream parties side with the Owner Class in expanding and increasing enforcement of the “though shall not share without paying” Intellectual Property laws that let some make money of something they are only able to own due to such laws (those laws are literally anti-natura in that ideas are naturally shared), rather than with the natural freedom of sharing.

      The way States support and impose Intellectual Property is really just a facet of the broader societal problem of politics in Capitalist nations (even those disguised as “Democracy”) not really working for the many.

        Bludgeoned heads are pro-natura, but not very good.

        is really just a facet of the broader societal problem of politics in Capitalist nations (even those disguised as “Democracy”)

        In Democratic Kampuchea, on the other hand, there was no intellectual property. Everything intellectual was forbidden and punishable by death, in fact, even eyeglasses, even knowing how to read and write (except if you were an official, or a railway worker, or an ambassador, or someone similarly necessary).

        All you had to do was work, and your Khmer blood would lead you on, all Blut und Boden.

        Sorry, just watched The Killing Fields yesterday and remembered of … that.

        Your arguments could be more persuasive if you’d drop that “capitalist vs socialist” stuff, outside of golden billion countries it doesn’t work very well.

      Yes. It is a big problem for Europe. I don’t expect that it will be fixed in the foreseeable future. In fact, it is being made worse in many ways.

      You may reference and quote journal articles. That’s something I expect will stay allowed.

  I’d expect it to be cracked down entirely within the next 2-3 years. The EU has wet dreams of absolute control

      Many places in Europe are wonderful. Generally speaking I think you’re quite fine when it comes to LGBT rights, especially in the Western countries, and metros and public transportation in general are commonplace, but I wouldn’t expect free internet and freedom of expression to be around in a handful years.

        I’ll work to free internet and expression.

        Thanks.

  In The Netherlands we still have a freedom of press: www.rijksoverheid.nl/…/persvrijheid-bewaken and we are also progressive on the LGBTQ+ front.

    The way it’s portrayed online you’d think the Netherlands is the most civilized society ever formed by humankind. I know that nowhere is perfect, but it does seem like a really nice place to live. If only the language weren’t so silly.

    But it’s Netherlands.

    They haven’t built mountains, and it will get resubmerged. It’s the deelevation/sinking that I haven’t emigrated foremost. Everything else, yes, I want to become a citizen for.

  Intellectual property is stupid, but I don’t know why you would blame belgium especially here. The whole world signed threaty regarding copyrights.

    Are you asking me why I don’t want Belgium bereft off international knowledge their physical libraries do not possess?

    source

    • YknsNMo000@thelemmy.club ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes. Belgium just implements laws here. The law is wrong but it’s imposed from the top. Blame the very concept of “intellectual property”

  In France, you have the choice between public press (depending a lot on the president in place thanks to his tax cut), you have capitalist propaganda, more or less obviously fascist, and that's it for the TV. On the web you have Blast, le Média, Frustration Magasine, or Humanity in paper if you want leftist media.

    I’m aware of French freedom to be lynched. I’m asking if there are freer nations I can write yuri in, that won’t persecute my sapphic heart🧡🤍💜.

      I guess Yuri is good for now. Just don't get your hopes to high, 2027 election will be a weird ride I guess

        Then I’ll be voting extremely anarchistic once I emigrate, and repeal these authoritarian laws.

        I had considered Norway, until they signed WIPO.
