While not exclusive to it, they are elements of fascism.
It’s funny that we have all these lists and essays and books on how fascist ideology and policy is a confluence of many such elements, yet people still act as tough “is this person/party/state fascist?” is a simple yes or no question with no gray area.
Still thinking and talking as sociopathic real estate developer.
You’d expect them to closely analyze the attacks and pour a few hundred billion into countermeasures though. Not exactly the same position that Russia is in.
Also because Putin needed a war to shore up nationalist fervor and distract from his failures and corruption. A classic play that almost always works.
I’m torn personally.
If I block these accounts, I won’t be able to downvote and report them anymore.
Oh I agree. I’m just not there because twitter was never my thing. Keep up the fediverse propaganda, comrade.
tbf he explicitly did both
Chances are it’s really just that, a start. See OpenAI.
The thing that it really has going for itself is that it simply isn’t twitter. And Muskler made sure that’s a huge deal.
Sublime Text for me. It has some nifty features that NP++ doesn’t, and looks better out of the box.
Apple heavily pushes their users towards iCloud subscriptions. More so on iOS than macOS but still.
Futureless or featureless?
iOS users: "What the hell is a ‘Folder’?!?”
Win+X is also great. Especially since the Start Menu doesn’t allow for quick shutdown commands since Win 8.
I think that’s being a bit unfair to Windows. Some of its keyboard shortcuts are stupid, but it does have them. When it doesn’t, the problem is the application.
The dataset (“what you have on it”) and the quality of navigation are two very different things. For the first you can help directly to address it, for example with the app StreetComplete.
Despite there being other studies showing that it’s factually untrue, and this perception comes down to different levels of empathy. (I know, what a surprise)
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life
Do you think Darwin meant this in an aspirational or observational way?
That’s exactly what they’re aiming to do.
The one thing that usually prevents this is the need to prevent government dysfunction and the collapse of whole institutions, and neither Trump nor Musk give a fuck. It works in their favor and their supporters are happy to justify it.
It’s not quite that ambiguous. I find that when you’re willing to engage with fascist rhetoric and the underlying worldview, you can see the patterns emerge that these scholars have pointed out.
I absolutely agree that (neo)liberal western societies usually only engage with it in order to isolate differences to feel better about themselves. That was my whole point actually. If you understand it’s possible that a society or movement partially but not entirely meets the criteria for fascism, that’s an actual starting point for a conversation to counteract it. Rather than doing the fig leaf thing from above and say “see we’re technically not fascist” as an excuse to shut down that exact conversation.
