Hear, hear! I miss the days when trolling used to mean piss take. If someone is trolling, troll them back!

Somehow people forgot to give other the people this memo, including the “you don’t fucking join social networks as your self”. Anonymity makes this all work.

I do get into political debates, but I don’t overshare my real info and I certainly don’t ban anyone for disagreeing with me. I find it cringe if anyone bans someone for disagreement to maintain “mental health”. Unless someone is stalking or making a calculated harrasment on the person online, sure ban or report the troll, but banning someone because the person does not have a good response shows pettiness and immaturity.

We’re in a new phase of 'Murican^TM fascist eugenics, everyone!

I have kind of arrived to the same conclusion. If people asked me what is love, I would say it is a religion.

It has been a long time since I watched Her, but my takeaway from the movie is that because making real life connection is difficult, people have come to rely on AI which had shown to be more empathetic and probably more reliable than an actual human being. I think what many people don’t realise as to why many are single, is because those people afraid of making connections with another person again.

Zuckerburg and Facebook enable lies to spread because that’s how he makes money.

Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos-- you can tell they are insecure. They became rich and powerful and now want to stomp on people.

Shut up. 2D Mario is only ten years ago.

No wonder he is still spritely in Mary Poppins. I wish I would still be as fit as him at his age!

Arghhh!!!

I heard Assassin’s Creed Shadows is decent if not good. But overall, it looks like AC Origins is the last properly good Ubisoft game.

That’s why i always forbid access to my microphones by apps. Many AI apps will also remember what you discussed long ago.

The old testament did not even mention hell and thus Jews don’t believe it. Hell is a Christian invention to control the masses through threat of eternal damnation for disobeying the authority.

The Heritage is trying to be the Third International but right wing.

“Red fascist” is a term used pejoratively, you know? Are you saying Trump is a Bolshevik instead?

While both are authoritarians, one of the difference between Bolshevism/communism and fascism is that the latter embraces ultraconservatism and romanticising an idyllic past, whereas communists don’t. Trump and co. yearns back to some idyllic past and a return to it in some form. One of the definition of fascism is romanticising some glorious past when their people and things were “better”.

Edit: added info

“Red fascist” is a term used pejoratively, you know?

Trump is the president who happens to be the leading figure of MAGA movement and Project 2025, which are unquestionably fascist movements, and seeing as how his administration deliberately ignore court rulings and thereby undermining civil liberties, which is the key characteristic of fascism.

There are scholarly consensus already. It is not controversial. Unless you are trying to muddy the water.

I usually go by Umberto Eco’s points but some scholars added their own. By and large, most agree that aspects such as militarism, demonization of out-groups, belief in a strongman authority figure, and lack recognition of civil rights and liberties are key characteristics of fascism. Trump 2.0 has most if not all the characteristics of fascism. Even now, Trump refuses to comply with court orders, has police harass and grab people without lawful warrant, demonizes out-groups and threatening military action.

Now, this is the trading standards that we all ask for; not “be more racist” or repeal the protection on lgbt. Christ, American fascism is the weirdest i have seen. Fascism in the past didn’t even try to dictate the laws and regulations of other countries.

You never know…
