He made a case against elitist/purist versions of leftism, so you accusing him of excluding people that aren’t ideologically pure enough indicates that you massively missed the point.

Similar with “left-bashing”: he’s a leftist, why would he? He has views about what makes us unable to be attractive to a wider audience, that’s constructive criticism.

Did you watch a different video? He said that reality-challenged tankie spaces aren’t able to contribute to a leftist movement that is able to attract workers.

That sounds entirely accurate to me.

I get it, giving the government the ability to randomly shift the boundaries of what’s considered a hate symbol can backfire if the government becomes fashy. We can see that in the US right now where they twist everything they can to make things happen that they want to happen, with no regard for process and how tools were supposed to be used.

But that’s historically not what happened with paragraph 86a, and I don’t see it happening without AfD coming into power. I might eat my words some day, but precedent has held strong with that one.

No, criticizing Israel is certainly 100% not illegal, what are you talking about. Being pro-Palestine isn’t illegal.

The only thing that’s even tangentially related and therefore might have been what you heard and misinterpreted is that Hamas flags have been added to the list of anti-constitutional banned symbols in Germany, so those are illegal. But clearly support for Hamas ≠ “criticizing Israel” lol

if someone cosplays as a Nazi or thinks Hitler didn’t murder 6 million […] then arresting them because of thought crimes is fascist behavior.

Hahahahaha no. It’s not “thought crimes” when you explicitly say through symbols: “I want Jews, disabled people, leftists, and traveling folk to be genozided”. Because that’s what that is. It’s not a thought when you wear it or carry it around.

The US “free speech absolutist” Musk and his hypocritical friends have gotten into your mind. Preventing intolerance isn’t intolerance in itself.

For something to be “criminalized”, it needs to be criminal. Antisemitism isn’t a crime in Germany, so branding something as such might be propaganda but has no legal consequences.

Only when there’s no professional playing a role. A self-help group with professional oversight is great.

Are you talking about Germany’s ban on fascist symbols and Holocaust denial?

If so, calling that “fascist behavior” is the dumbest shit I’ve heard in a while. Seriously below “what happened to the tolerant left” level.

Every village had a village idiot, now they network.

Wrong, the science community is slowly switching to bluesky

Same here in Germany, but these two parties are not at all the same, even if they don’t differ much in that one (and a bunch of other) issues.

For sure, I’m just saying that the actual fascists should always get the majority of the blame, even if it’s pathetic for their rivals to fail to prevent their win.

Less than nothing, it made the world a worse place.

Why blame the better of two bad options?

Be honest and blame both bad options.

(I’m not referring to the greens here, they aren’t a real option)

What a meaningless thing to say in this context, as both parties act the same way: supporting Israel.

So the only difference we have to go by is words. And Trump’s are the most ghoulish shit any elected politician has said so far.

They follow robots.txt

There are different kinds of AI scraper defenses.

This one is an active strategy. No shit people know that this costs them resources. The point is that they want to punish the owners of bad-behaved scrapers.

There is also another kind which just blocks anything that tries to follow an invisible link that goes to a resource forbidden by robots.txt

Yeah, I think basic stuff like production queues were missing. AoE 2 had the right balance between automation and skill. Nobody enjoys learning the skill to click the barracks at precise intervals to produce another guy.

Im sorry that happened, but never again what?

Like, “never again open up about a huge important part of my life to”

a) anyone, or b) someone you don’t know too long

Because only b) is healthy. I don’t think trying to mask your depression can work in a serious relationship.

I think “neurotypical” by now means “I wanna say ‘normie I look down upon’, but I don’t want to sound like an incel”

Similar progression here. The only thing I don’t like in Voyager is the iOS-isms.

But that’s minor, I got accustomed to the weird icons and so on pretty quickly.

Excellent app, must be absolutely perfect on iOS!
