Lemmies, We just reached over 10k subscribers, thank you all for helping us grow from our small humble beginning, to now the capital for US political debates and news.
  • He wrote a book on fascism.

    The logic is not sound. The entire "logic" is based on wanting something to be fascism, so calling it fascism, and then using that same terrible "logic" to classify tens of millions of people as a nazi based on nothing other than wanting to call them nazis.

    I guess I'll keep waiting for those actual examples that meet the definition of fascism, right? Surely you're going to list them, right?

  • Indonesia blocks Musk’s X.com under curbs on porn, gambling
  • Are there still people denying that twitter/facebook/etc weren't instructed to censor certain stories leading up to the last US election (hunter laptop), while leaving and even promoting actual misinformation (russia)?

  • What “fascism” are people asking for? Actual examples that meet the definition of fascism please.

    In your link, what criteria does "MAGA" meet? (I'll humour you and overlook the fact that "MAGA" is literally just a catchphrase for returning america to being "the (self proclaimed) greatest country on earth").

    America has a 2 party system. Democrats and republicans. If you don't like the democrats and their policies and handling of the country, you vote republican. That doesn't mean you're a Nazi, and anyone suggesting it does is just telling people to ignore them and their crazy opinions.

    Your logic is "I declare trump a fascist, therefore anyone that votes for him is a nazi". That's terrible, terrible, idiotic logic.

    Also not really sure who declared Umberto Eco the expert on Fascism.

  • That’s taken completely out of context and you know it.

    It’s not calling for trans people to be eradicated, it’s calling for the current trans ideologies, where if you’re a girl who likes trucks you must be trans and therefore must be rushed on to puberty blockers and get your breast removed, to be eradicated.

    No one is calling for trans people to be eradicated as in “killed”. That’s what Nazis did - they literally killed people by the millions.

  • Indonesia blocks Musk’s X.com under curbs on porn, gambling
  • Missed it by this much.

    The point was that the government literally used social media sites to censor information that they didn't like. These sites (and news networks) were made to report that it was made up, misinformation, didn't exist, a far right conspiracy theory. Turns out it was very real.

  • I don’t understand why transphobic fascists get so upset when their transphobic fascist posts are criticized.

    The issue is when people, probably like yourself, incorrectly call things transphobia and fascism, while excusing your own side for their fascist tendencies (like silencing opposition, controlling narratives on social media, etc).

    99% of what is called "transphobia" and "fascism" online these days is neither.

    Person 1: "Drag queens shouldn't be allowed to perform sexually charged strip teases for children. It's inappropriate even if it was a straight white male doing a strip tease and acting that way."

    Person 2: "Nazi! Fascist! Transphobe!"

  • Indonesia blocks Musk’s X.com under curbs on porn, gambling
  • Fuck Musk but governments in general are probably happy he’s giving them an excuse to ban what was once a powerful platform for activism and organization.

    On the flip side, government officials are also now very unhappy that Twitter won't do their bidding like it did previously, censoring things like the Hunter Biden laptop and spreading the "Russian election collusion" conspiracy theory.

  • Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible
  • YouTube test threatens to block viewers if they continue using ad blockers

    They can do this without this new API though. Many sites block users if they use ad blockers, have for years, and that's without this API.

    How well is uBlock Origin working for you in Chrome Mobile?

    Chrome isn't the only browser on mobiles. If Chrome doesn't let you block ads and you want to block ads, use a browser that does. Based on your logic, google would have eliminated ad blockers from Android overall already, yet they haven't.

    The fact is that this new API doesn't block ad-blockers. Sites can already choose to block access if you have an ad blocker. There's no change.

    The $600k problem with Lodge’s Sea Eagles deal... and why the NRL is set to act

    The $600k problem with Matt Lodge’s Sea Eagles deal... and why the NRL is set to act

    Somehow Manly have managed to get Matt Lodge, a first grade regular over the last 5 years who was on a $600k a year contract, on a $1000 train and trial contract for the rest of the year.

    Hopefully the NRL steps in a puts a stop to this clear abuse of the salary cap.

    NRL admits Titans should have been awarded potential match-winning penalty

    Another week another horrible referee blunder costing a team a win. Especially harsh since the Titans were beaten the previous week from giving away a penalty in this exact same scenario.

    Game 3 is upon us! Who do you predict will win? Where will Gutho end up playing? Will Cook get dropped as rumoured? Will Queensland achieve the rare whitewash? What other insane decisions will Freddy make in his (presumedly) last game as coach?
