Well, yes, that's kind of the whole concept of the overton window
Do you have some examples of the structural changes he's made? My understanding (disclaimer: I'm not french, so don't follow their politics as closely) was that one of the biggest frustrations both from the left and right is his refusal to make any real change
The biggest event I can think of from his presidency is the retirement change age, but it stands out more to me because of the backlash than the significance of the change itself
I always make sure to bring up the - criminally under discussed - genocide of the Romani (often referred to as gypsy) people when people are discussing the Nazi's genocides.
Approximately half of the entire Romani population of Europe were executed.
Ah yes, I had it in my head that they didn't primary at all, as opposed to it being traditionally non-competitive. Thanks for the correction
It's one of the big weaknesses of these sort of egotistical maniacs imo, they make decisions based on their own egos, and create an environment where nobody is willing to call them out on it
I think to an extent part of the reason they were disorganised was as a result of the invasion of Poland though, they suffered disproportionate manpower and equipment losses compared to the Germans
I assume you're referring to couping, as opposed to storing chickens
Your statement may be true, but also doesn't prove the original claim
The definition of fascism is not when someone is racist, or when someone does a coup
The whole "fascism is when thing I don't like" is exactly the thing the commenter above me was complaining about
(in a political context) favouring free enterprise, private ownership, and socially traditional ideas
Conservative implies right leaning, centrist implies opposed to large scale change
One can be a radical conservative, and one can be centre-left
The word I was looking for is "centrist"
That still doesn't prove the claim "America was always fascist"
Partially because being copied by the Nazis doesn't intrinsically mean you're fascist (they copied a hell of a lot of things, including but not limited to fascism)
And partially because that doesn't cover the "always" part at all
I think it's reasonable to call it centrist, despite also being right-wing (ie centre-right)
To me, centrism isn't just about being somewhere in the middle between the left and right of the political environment, but also about having policies that make small adjustments to the current system, as opposed to fundamental, large scale change
I put my steel in the fridge and it's completely dried out now
Granted, it wasn't very wet when it went in
Why? This is a scientific article with a shitpost as the title
I thought it looked like a stealthy power ranger
Yeah, just create an entirely new, incompatible extension engine from scratch for this one feature specifically!
Ah, I missed that alt text specifically is local, but the point stands, in that allowing (opt-in) access to a 3rd party service is reasonable, even if that service doesn't have the same privacy standards as Mozilla itself
To pretty much every non-technical user, an AI sidebar that won't work with ChatGPT (Google search's equivalent from my example previously) may as well not be there at all
They don't want to self host an LLM, they want the box where chat gpt goes
Well except for the fact that the salary option is:
- granted gradually over a year period
- requires you to do a full-time job
If they would be able to get even a slightly worse salaried job instead of being an MP, then the financial motive is - in contrast to your claim - actually in favour of him losing
