Political parties can rarely afford to proclaim themselves to be revolutionary, or they’ll quickly get banned.

You’re overthinking it. I know because I do the same. But realistically most women are quite relieved when you can take a kind “no” in stride because the bar is so low in this regard.

“the GrapheneOS developers do not wish to use reddit as a platform to discuss their products”

No one is making them. But they can’t prohibit others from doing so. Also the mods don’t give a fuck. What an idiotic excuse.

That’s not what people demand, it’s a side effect of users demanding software be open source and developers saying that’s not economically viable.

Industry is irrelevant for tourism. No, Germany absolutely has beautiful towns and landscapes, although it’s not like the countries you mentioned where almost every place in a popular region meets that definition. That’s where travel blogs and guides come in handy to find the places worth visiting.

While this is something LLMs are decent at, I feel this is only of value if your notes are unstructured, and it presents infosec concerns.

More AI will fix it /s

Jugendherbergen (Youth Hostels) are everywhere in Germany, making travel affordable even in expensive cities especially if you’re under 28 and/or don’t mind sharing a room.

The same might apply in other countries, I wouldn’t know. Except in France where I know it’s not the case because they are sadly underfunded.

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.

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.

The deodorant availability trauma is real and brings untold migrant suffering every year.

I think you misread my comment. I didn’t call you a fascist, I simply called out two points where your comparison falls flat.

Thanks for the writeup. It helps to know where to look to make an informed decision, when I finally have the time to sit down and de-google.

Yeah I never doubted you’d have a reason to dismiss being called out like that. Getting your feelings hurt invalidates everything else. I feel like I’m talking to myself from 10 years ago.

You don’t have to take it from me. If you’re a student of history, maybe start with Umberto Eco. He knew a thing or two about fascism, I’ve heard.

The biggest mistake we can make is to assume it can’t happen again.

So yes they’re fascist, but the progressives complained too much about racism, and therefore it’s fine to support the fascists?

IDK what to tell you but your political ideology is privileged garbage. You’re more scared of being called racist than of fascism. The kind of “yes ethnic cleansing but please no mean language” attitude. Please get a political education and your priorities straight.

Escape from Tuta for what reason if you’re willing to share? I see it recommended a lot.

He directly profits from Proton subscriptions. As does the rest of the leadership which seem to back him on this.

A comparison between singing the praises for a modern proto-fascist movement and “secretly loving Windows” is… certainly something.

Mate they’re mainstreaming fascist rhetoric. Over 60% of Republicans now believe in the Great Replacement theory aka White Genocide, which used to be a conspiracy theory on the fringes of white nationalist propaganda just about a decade ago.

I encourage you to not get hung up on symbolism and instead look to ideology and rhetoric.

The flaw was to assume there’s a connection between what Republicans say and what they do.

In what way?

Asolute security doesn’t exist, it’s always a trade-off with cost, time investment, and convenience.
