Awesome, thanks!
Jesus, what a mind job.
Ah, an inferiority complex That explains it.
You’re splitting hairs and missing the point, your reading comprehension seems to be wanting and you are condescending as fuck.
If we’re suggesting possible future organisations, I’m with you about a global authority, but I want it to be run and maintained by some sort of artificial intelligence. There are currently no humans that I can think of that cannot fall victim to their own desires and become corrupt when faced with power. Just take that worry completely out of the equation. I would like to think at the point that we have that level of AI, that that technology will have already found solutions to a lot of our current global problems.
Until then your proposal is sound!
I disagree, it is very useful to show how the tentacles of it are actually everywhere. It is the mechanism of it that is the bigger problem. The mindset of action disconnected from philosophy is the true battleground, before intent is even part of the conversation. I believe the whitewashing of fascism is a much bigger problem than the efficacy of the term; people understand they don’t want fascism in their lives, so if you point out and are able to show how insidious and ever pervasive it is in their own lives, and how they probably have been educated to overlook it; it is very useful. A bunch of scoffing conservatives and their apologists should not dictate the language used.
I also hate the inclusion of the u/spez freakout about employees not wearing reddit colours in public for fear of physical harm. It is a full-on propaganda tactic, in the vein of Elon Musk or Trump’s bullshit. It immediately puts shade on the userbase. These “journalists” should get their shit together and either write about how ridiculously stupid he was to say that or just not present it at all, it’s barely relevant to the article. For anyone who has actually been following along, the way the article presents that tidbit is inane and completely false at best.
So in reality they inherently have many fascistic elements that are unavoidable is what you’re actually saying. On paper everything looks like roses.
Governments are inherently fascistic entities. Ruling by so-called democratic majority excludes too many, even when you pretend that the way propaganda works doesn’t completely extinguish the concept of democracy. We are all living in a conservative socioeconomic reality that for the most part has many many, many many fascistic elements.
A lot of people in the comments can’t seem to make the distinction between what they have been fed since they were little and that they are used to, and what is good, or tastes good.
Having an early morning swim in the sea every morning for the next few weeks.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Being ok with being conservative is akin to being ok with being stupid. It’s basically an admission of idiocy.
Sleep brusher!
Ok, after spending a good few minutes selecting and saving every language on the list (there was some odd behaviour with only the visible languages staying selected after you tick them, so if you scrolled the selected languages off the screen without saving settings, they would get deselected), I go back after checking and see every language has been deselected again other than English and Undetermined, and I can still see all the posts and comments. I guess it was only momentary?
That was it! I guess whatever language you have selected when you make your post is the one you need to have selected when you want to see your post or comment again. A bit odd. I, maybe stupidly, just went and selected every single language. I wonder if after I make this comment with every language selected, if I deselect one, will I still be able to see this post?
It’s very strange. I saw the other user’s comment (thanks by the way! though I can’t respond to you anymore), and changed my language to English and Undetermined, and my interface language to English, and I can see all my own posts and previous posts, but for some reason the comments in your posts are completely empty now:
Now another odd thing is happening. I added some languages and I can see my posts, but now the comments on this post have now disappeared for me.
Tried Sync, Liftoff, Connect and Lemmotif (I think that’s all the free ones on the playstore as of August '23), and I am always preferring Jerboa.
