@GossiTheDog Despite that very silly and hilarious connotation, this is serious business! xD hahaha

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social someone wanted to be extra sophisticated by using Latin terms...

@nemo @GossiTheDog
I wonder if the silly naming is part of what helps people get away with this.
It is really hard to talk about, if everyone listening has to fight their inner 12-year-old, to take it seriously.

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social well yeah questions why they're doing so little are mounting,
the answer is obvious though: the people in power profit immensely themselves, either directly or indirectly

one of the people most infamous from those scandals was literally elected to be our Bundeskanzler (Prime Minister) AFTER his ties to the tax fraud wer discovered
fucking Olaf Scholz
even worse is that he was a better PM than Friedrich Merz currently is ​​

i hate this place so much

@GossiTheDog
Okay, this is like the ONE part of the German language you can't blame the Germans for.

[bontchev@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog That part is Latin, actually. (As in "Cum Laude" - when someone has achieved something with honors.) English uses "Cum Ex" to describe this scheme too:
