You should unironically read Mein Kampf though, at least once

The funny thing about that book is if you tell a neo-Nazi you've read it and have a criticism, they'll immediately ask which translation and claim most of them are a "Jewish trick".

Olivier Mannoni, who translated the 2021 French critical edition, said about the original German text that it was "An incoherent soup, one could become half-mad translating it", and said that previous translations had corrected the language, giving the false impression that Hitler was a "cultured man" with "coherent and grammatically correct reasoning". He added "To me, making this text elegant is a crime." [snip]

“How’s that going to work when ten years in the future you have no one that has learned anything,” he asked

Simple, I divest in your industry and/or die by then. We are smart. 🎩

So hopefully Lemmy doesn’t catch on so will that those folks come here in force, too. For now at least, it’s much better.

At the very least, I suspect Lemmy, as a federated network, has more power to filter them. We saw years ago what happened when the Wolfballs bigots tried to join, they were eventually isolated by most other instances who continued to run without them. So as long as we can retain a situation where the largest instances actually take a solid stance against assholes and trolls and bigots, then it becomes much easier to make them all optional, shunned to register on the more liberalist permissive instances.

no capitalist pig icon :(

A while ago, I noticed that some leaders of M-L AES states had authored many theoretical books, articles and essays^[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin_bibliography] ^[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong#Writings_and_calligraphy] while I hadn't really seen this occur in liberal democracies.

If we include ghostwriters (and if you like Xi's works, then you should), Donald Trump may in fact be the most prolific author of the White House leadership.

The intelligence community is ‘rife with abuse of power and unauthorised leaks of classified information’, the department’s director said.

Incidentally, this is true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOVEINT

Obviously this isn't why they're allegedly slashing 40%. I doubt the booj are that dumb that they'd cannibalize it purely for cost cutting (......right?) so I assume it's an attempted ideological purge.

It's always great to see longposts AND collapsible sections. Thanks!

we are also working really hard to figure out how the actual governing will work and how to navigate our main obstacles should that time come.

What kind of obstacles do you predict? I'm somewhat ignorant of previous DemSoc situations like Allende (beyond the super-well-known parts like boss strikes and military coups) or with US internal electoral anticommunism.

As far as Boeing employee fates go, this is fine.

as your main thing

I completely agree.

However doing something like OP is, criticizing the platform to an audience using that platform, can be important too so long as they help suggest a good alternative. (and I don't know if they are)

Just hearing the fee would induce fatal cardiac arrest.

Around how long ago was this? IIRC Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.

(historically, the equation generally doesn't change when there are more guns or bullets)
