Those could be useful in case some tyrant takea over and says he's your god now, like he's some Egyptian pharaoh building gold statues to himself...it's a declaration of independence for another age :D
...not that modern fanatics could ever reach that conclusion, they couldn't spot satan even if it were telling them to vote for him to punish the unbelievers.
just skip it, lol, it's just a formality anyway. Or is it? 🤐
Apart from all the other deflationary stuff...
I can't get past the adjustable difficulty lottery system they use for mining blocks every 10m... :/ there has to be a better way.
It's like diagonalizing huge matrices repeatedly just as a wait() function.
Which sources do you want, like examples? You know the examples. Something happens that goes against their schizo editorial line: either they find another scandal to distract from it, or they find the one expert that can twist the story to make it look good (e.g. climate deniers, antivaxxers)? They may produce an artificial controversy to pretend that there is disagreement among them. Multiple contradictory narratives aimed at different subaudiences that disagree with each other and plain manufactured stories...but I don't watch it that much.
And since I don't know who I'm talking to, there is no point in investing too much time into this. But if you read Habermas and Rorty, you could try to see what I mean...or not... :)
They are not bad rules to live by, maybe the guys in charge should start following them as a test run to start with before they impose them on the "peasants".
21st century fascism (ok, I'll call it neofascism to distinguish it from historical fascism) incorporates postmodern elements to distract and divide, it adjusted to new media, internet and social media. TV and radio was one-to-many, so fascists just needed one narrative. Now they want you to get lost in the pretentious instruction book and bickering whether elon's nazi salute was a nazi salute or not...
Anyway, what I'm saying is I think Habermas' approach to communication is very useful and Rorty's pretty useless to making sense of the world. But you can probably combine them both by using different methodologies to try to come to a conclusion about the truth, instead of just saying "the truth does not exist" and agree to disagree.
Depends on whether you take the mistake at face value or see it as yet another symptom of a disease taking root in the context of the whole administration's war against truth and accountability. But on its own it would muddy the waters to call it fascism.
Do they? e.g. putin loves it.
yeah, looks like they were all over russia, teehee
Yes, but this guy is not the head of government or and can't veto EU council decisions, like Orban can. He can block decisions of the new government to undo what PiS has done over the years. In fact, given Poland's history of right-wing presidents, it is the closest they've ever come to having a liberal president. :3 staying optimistic while we wait for the green left to get its act together in a pragmatic way (that has something to offer rural and working families over fascist vibes and neoliberal status-quo (looking at you, France))
Eh, you win some, you lose some, just don't be much worse than Duda and everything'll be ok until the next election, no?
