The demand for nazis greatly overceeds the supply nowdays, so we basically have to settle for nazi-lites, which pretty much means anyone you disagree with, whose politically from the right of centre. If they’re from the left, they’re commies.

…and avoid the ones from .ml instances. There’s usually a non-ml equivalent for almost every community.

I believe some of the apps lets anyone see who has up-/downvoted you and if I’m not mistaken on kbin you can see that as well.

I’m among the wokest of the alt-right

These sorts of long-term questions and concerns are not things shareholders and investors think or care about.

Well that’s not true at all. The vast majority of investors are in it for the long run.

Remember when crypto replaced all the banks?

No, I actually don’t remember that. When did this happen?

It’s no less compatible with capitalism than any other economic system. The idea that humans are no longer needed to do any kind of work is an issue the world has never faced before.

Mind altering substances and trail biking has worked well so far. Preferably both at the same time.

No… First of all: electricity is never free to produce. Running a powerplant costs the same no matter what price the electricity is at. The price goes to zero when supply greatly overceeds demand. That means I’m not paying to the electric company for the electricity but I’m still paying for the company that maintains the grid to deliver that electricity to me. It doesn’t just magically hop from the powerplant to my house.

In my view, it would be naive to assume that killing Hitler before he became Chancellor would guarantee the prevention of the atrocities that followed, and it might even pose the risk of something worse happening. Events don’t occur in a vacuum. It’s similar to how dropping nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrific events in themselves, but who’s to say those events aren’t the reason nukes have never been used in warfare since? Preventing those bombings might have saved the people in those cities, but it also might have significantly lowered the bar for using nukes, increasing the chance of a true nuclear holocaust during the Cold War, for example.

So maybe time travel is possible, and someone did try to change history by killing Hitler, but then realized the outcome was even worse. Now, they needed an additional assassin to deal with the first one.

Eh, it gives me some faith to still see the occasional individual making sense in the comment sections. I’ve blocked close to 800 people on Lemmy, and on average, I probably block 10 more each day. It feels like it’s not making much of a difference, but it must have some impact. If the number of users here were on par with Reddit, I’d just be wasting my time. However, considering Lemmy’s low user base and the fact that most comments are written by a small percentage of users, I still have faith that blocking those who are just making noise has to improve the signal.

For me, it serves two purposes: less content to browse, which means less time spent here, and the opportunity to engage in thoughtful conversations with the remaining sensible users, rather than partaking in a shouting match with everyone.

Lemmy is effectively the left-wing equivalent of Gab or Truth Social. There’s a ton of extremists here, but they don’t see themselves as such because they believe their extremism is justified and that they’re on the right side of history. Ironically, that’s what all extremists think. Moments like this are the true test of one’s intellectual honesty. A rational, independent thinker should be able to condemn this kind of behavior even when it’s targeted towards their “enemies.”

They’re not against fascism. They’re against fascism from the opposing side. The level of hypocricy demonstrated in these comment sections is mind boggling.

There are a handful of instances here that reliably attract extremists. lemmygrad, hexbear, lemmy.ml, infosec.pub and blahaj to name a few. I don’t think I’ve ever blocked as many people as I have today. Even disabled my content filters to see those threads so I could do some housekeeping.

In case you’ve ever wondered what’s going on in the minds of Q-Anons, now you know.

They will…

The fact that mods are actually doing their jobs in this thread restores some of my faith in Lemmy.

Would the world be a better place without Trump? Probably. Is this the way? No.

Most screws sold around here have a torx head

My gun culture? What’s so baffling about it?

That’s not the point. If you’re swinging around a semi-automatic pistol with an empty magazine, nobody will know. However, with a revolver, you need to load it with real-looking bullets for close-up shots. Of course, at a distance, you can use lesser-quality prop guns.
