That depends on what you think the comparison is and from what vantage point. If the comparison is current grass roots opposition to the government to the US and Allies fight against Hitler, then sure. The comparison is better made with the rest of the world’s multi decade effort to defeat the nazis and their allies.

Mandatory reminder that plenty of people fought the nazis before the extermination camps.

Plenty of people fought the nazis before they started their world war.

Plenty of people fought the nazis without the support of ANY state and in opposition to the nazi state.

Plenty of people fought the nazis before Hitler was even elected.

Everyone that fought the nazis had in common that they didn’t get to choose to win. Many of them died on what seemed to be the losing side of that conflict. Their choice was to fight.

False dichotomy in this case, IMO.

They are always operating under the assumption that the left will have to go along either way and that placating or cooperating with the left is a waste of time, because the de facto choices in more and more elections, around the world, these days tend to boil down to actual fascism vs a neo-liberal alternative.

Sometimes a more left leaning flavor of neo-liberal prevails, like Labor in Britain, other times it’s France’s tired battle between Macron and Me Pen. In either case, the neo-liberals’ focus is always to attract voters from the right, often by being “tough on crime” or “tough on immigrants” or plain “tough on browns and poors”, supposedly for strategic reasons. The neo-liberals never miss a beat on the treadmills carrying the Overton window to the (far) right.

When the neo liberals aggressively alienate the left to the point where enough leftwing voters can’t hold their noses and refuse to vote for the neo-liberals, resulting in a win for the fascist, the neo-liberals’ analyses will always fault the left for foiling their infallible strategy. You see a lot of those blameless neo-liberals posting here about a certain election here.

These neo-liberala will tel you, with a straight face, that the biggest threat to democracy is that enough people don’t vote against their conviction. Like it’s a mic drop thing to say.

Whoa, awesome tip, can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it before

I don’t think looming runaway success is the most pressing challenge for Lemmy right now though, though I agree with you in spirit

Fourth dimension is chaos

Nice one, I did not know about that community

every time I remember it I cringe and hope nobody else does.

Haha you wish!

A lot of peole are thinking back to that enthusiastic spiel as the first time they heard of Musk. Then they say something like “man, I had no idea at the time that u/arctanthrope was an alt-right lunatic, seemed so normal”.

(Just kidding)

GrapheneOS web installer appreciation post/comment

I think this is a space where the decline of online search is very apparent. This is really a challenge of finding the right information: e.g. finding the right wiki page or, more often than not, some one else explaining the practical use of what the wiki says in a way that you as a user can understand.

The Kardashev scale

Well, not EVEN with jail.

I think a lot of consumers will welcome this (at first).

For instance, Geforce Now is a pretty appealing value proposition at current rates compared to the cost of buying and owning an equally performant gaming computer. You pay less up front and you pay less in total than the total lost to depreciation over the time of ownership.

But of course, this is the first, honey trap phase of enshitification.

Hard to say exactly, say that an average post has ≥5 total comments from ≥3 unique users? That would be enough to say that posting isn’t shouting into the void
