He may be dependent himself on public funding as much as Elon and the others, but, to be fair, so have all capitalists in history at some point in time or at some level.
Pure capitalism is just a wild fantasy that would require complete disregard of human rights and/or huge advancements and investments in technology with the energy expenditure that entices.
So yeah, capitalist has always been a swear word to me, but I see it used appropriately in this context and in general.
I just went to school in Italy.
This should tell you how guilty of fascism is everyone in Italy who even just entertains the idea to reproduce completely or in part laws similar to the ones of the guy.
L’unico fascista buono è il fascista morto.
I mean, Jews were prohibited from having most reputable high jobs and the only thing that matched the Torah and was allowed in Christian (maybe later Catholic) Europe was money lending.
In Rome, my parents’ generation still calls stingy people “giudío” meaning Jew, since of course they were bound to be more attached to money and less prone to charity than most.
From having that reputation and managing lots of debt, to having the finger pointed at, it’s an easy quick step.
If you want to count official Hamas members as military opponents, civilian casualties in Gaza dwarf the ones of WWII in ratio.
Also, while I am not so knowledgeable about the Zionist mythos, I know that other territories and populations, which Israel already attacked repeatedly, are meant to be subjugated in the larger plan.
I guess we can all agree that getting to see how far they can resemble the nazis is not an itch we should scratch.
I didn’t read your “powerful” as an adjective qualifying the fascists, but as one qualifying the countries susceptible to see the rise of fascism, and in the case of Italy, both are wrong.
Also, just like the Danish government nowadays, Mussolini came from a Leftist background and later started applying authoritarian and later totalitarian policies and measures.
You called 1920s Italy “powerful”?! As an Italian…let’s say I remain baffled.
I mean, before starting with Zyclon-B, also the Nazis wanted the Jews to just move to Madagascar.
So I really just see a temporal offset.
And Denmark, yes, the country that many believe to be a liberal socialist paradise, but indeed very white, harsh immigration rules-supporting and ChatControl-proposing Denmark, is in a 7-year contract for this guy’s “Analytics AI solution” for its police, POL-INTEL, a custom implementation of their Gotham solution.
I have always read that the style was in vogue among men who had to fight in WWI where the use of gas masks discouraged keeping a full beard or moustache as it hindered adherence.
You can see the shift in the American presidents too.
Stop advertising for them and let them have their defederated echo chamber.
FTFY
I love Batman (currently replaying the Rocksteady games for the 3rd time) and I grew up with him and cannot really relate to Superman since I am not a farm boy. But it is very easy to see how Batman is in fact a fascist-capitalist fantasy.
A rich man who takes things in his own hands on a whim, infiltrating public order tech, hoarding personal data on virtually everyone in Gotham (at least) if not resorting to real-time surveillance by infiltrating personal devices (in The Dark Knight).
The idea that he “does good” by deciding a subset of all possible activities on which to spend his money and never spends himself on releasing that decision power to the public is exactly what brought the US where they are and what they hate viscerally about the EU (even if the sliding is real here as well).
That is actually good news. Means that people more likely to be “normies” are adopting an alternative solution.
What would it take for Canada and EU to close their borders?
Whoa whoa whoa! Callate chico!
You copied this from us Italians where we have the friend of Berlusconi providing the State with a censorship system (the Piracy Shield), allegedly exactly for the same reason since 2023.
Let’s give the right Fascists what is theirs.
I know this is out of place in this time in history, but I believe that to have been the case in the (maybe far) past.
Who started calling them ministries of defense and amidst what pressures from society?
I don’t think she looks fit. She has more muscle mass than the average girl her age maybe, but her upper body is likely underdeveloped and her spine is definitely fucked up.
Can it be made into a Cinnamon extension or even a tool with which I would run it for all new image files while idle (if needed)?
From here
It’s all part of the plan. Only this time they let the cousins across the pond do the first significant move.
The right answer is “Gunna ask ya muum next taim 'seer”
Ancient Rome.
