  • I’m not saying fascists aren’t cruel, I’m saying they will be cruel regardless of any reactions from opponents. Will it maybe give them an excuse to accelerate their cruelness? Sure. But there’s no doubt that their reaction to Kirk’s murder will be to implement cruelty that they were already planning on implementing.

    I’m not a fan of violence, but the right hasn’t given us a choice. It’s like if a woman got raped after slapping a guy harassing her in a bar. The rapist was gonna rape regardless, and the fascists are gonna be fascists regardless. It’s victim-blaming.


  • I definitely agree with everything you wrote in your second paragraph, it’s that first part I take issue with. The American fascist movement is going full steam ahead with their Nazi shit, and would do so regardless of Charlie Kirk getting murdered.

    Will they try to make a martyr out of him? Of course they will.

    I however disagree with the notion that Nazis wouldn’t be Nazis if opposition “took the high road” and debated the Nazis instead of responding to their violence in kind. The Nazis are gonna do Nazi shit regardless, and their justifications will always be bullshit.

    Do you truly think the Nazis wouldn’t have imposed martial law if it weren’t for that assassination?



  • It’s the best system when combined with strong regulation and good social safety nets.

    Sure, it’s just too bad it’s also a system in which the most powerful are incentivized to cut regulations and destroy social safety nets.

    This utopic version of capitalism sounds really nice, but it’s fully incompatible with the actual reality of capitalism.











  • I got a new job, and the group chat is on WhatsApp, so I’m looking into running a Synapse server with a bridge to it. I really don’t want to have to use Meta’s apps on my phone.

    From what I’ve read so far, it seems like it’s going to be the most convoluted install process I’ll have encountered in my self-hosting journey. I’m excited to tackle it, but also a bit overwhelmed. Which is why I’ve been putting it off :P
