  And why would a government listen to some random drug addict?

    Sadly, because he bought a megaphone. But Albo has shown a semblance of backbone when it comes to America, so there’s hope.

  Musk trying to frame himself as a human-rights activist is so cringe. Equating access to Xitter as a human right for minors while also trying to make out that his hate machine platform is somehow well moderated is pure insanity to anyone with a brain.

  I fixed YouTube… Removed the app from the TV and phone. Now we do other things.

  • lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That’s how I fixed it too! We can still watch videos on a desktop if there is something specific we want to see, but I never let the algorithm do its work. Youtube recommends this video? Nah.

  Muskrat is worried about his Australian ad revenue. He’s not capable of feeling emotions for other people.

  To be fair he does have a lot of experience in the toxicity of social media. He’s an expert in the field.

  It’s like if e-coli had some serious concerns about your choice of antibacterial spray. Worth noting the objection, possibly with a little smile, and buying a few more bottles.

    Yep. Fascism started as a left wing ideology they haven’t let that go only the name. Fascism is Italian and derived from the word Fasces (a bundle of wooden rods) a symbol of power used by the ancient Romans and many others. Here u can see Lincoln with Fasces as armrests. 1000008372

    The same bundle of sticks which the word faggot is derived from so theirs a fun fact.

    Mussolini coopted the socialist movement and ideology and rebranded it as fascism. He was also very friendly and allied with the national socialists (Nazis). Fascism is fundamentally a left wing ideology yet somehow people brand it as hard right perhaps cos it has such a bad reputation and the left didn’t want to be associated with it.

      The original left/right distinction dates back to the French Revolution. During a brief episode, supporters of the monarchy found themselves sitting on the right and opponents (republicans and anarchists) on the left.

      Later, the term conservatism was applied to the ideas of Edmund Burke, who defended a kind of constitutional monarchy.

      In that sense, the US founding fathers were radical left-wing revolutionaries. However, that happened a bit before the French Revolution, so the term is anachronistic.

      WW1 broke the power of monarchies in much of Europe. Fascism rose in the interwar period between WW1 and WW2 as a kind of Ersatz-Monarchy. The fascist leader did not present himself as the true heir to the throne, but as a man of the people. He did not claim his position “by the grace of god”, but might invoke “providence”. As such, a stout monarchist might genuinely call fascism left-wing. They would also think the US Republicans are left-wing extremists; at least insofar as the Republicans are republican.

      Since fascism is in many ways similar to the more authoritarian versions of monarchism, fascist leaders gained the support of old monarchists. There weren’t many of those around, but they still controlled key positions in government and industry. You were not a high military office, government official, or plain rich, if you had not kowtowed to the king.

      Because of all the overt similarities in ideology, demographic support, and policy, fascism has always been considered a right wing ideology by any normal observer.
