I'm finding myself on this community more and more, thanks for keeping up the content!

This place is a shithole, I'm going back to Reddit.

Plus if you fuck it up the bard ain't gonna let that go for god knows how long.

Am Greek, can confirm you will not regret this.

Supporting a party that Nazis also support is not the same thing as admitting that you’re a Nazi

Thank you for raising this point. On first glance your conclusion seems benign enough. But we can apply a bit of critical thinking and see the true nature of what you're actually saying.

While supporting a party that Nazis also support doesn't automatically make someone a Nazi, it does raise questions about the platform and policies of that person. If Musk chooses to use his platform to repost and then give massive exposure to extremists, it's worth examining why that is the case. Why would Elon Musk use his gigantic, sprawling reach to give exposure to an extremist group?

This is not complicated.

Perhaps not on a surface level. Ultimately though the world is shades of grey - we can argue black and white topics all day but it won't change the fact that the world is inherently a complicated place with complex interactions. I believe to boil it down to "This is not complicated" is likely a barrier to better understanding how the world works. If your political stance aligns with extremists, it's crucial to critically assess why that alignment exists. Dismissing concern over such alignment without introspection sidesteps an important ethical debate. The post in question raises some concerning questions about his responsibility to understand the wider implications of his actions. I'm curious to hear from your point of view why Musk isn't tactfully associating himself as a supporter of extremist right-wing views?

Supporting a political party is an action with consequences. Even if you're not a Nazi, by supporting a party that Nazis also support, you are indirectly contributing to the environment where such extremist ideologies can thrive. By excusing this type of ideology and behaviour you're giving it the thumbs up, stamp of approval to continue.

Godwin’s law is hard at work here.

I understand what you're putting forward here but I'd like to state that the conversation didn't degrade into talk of Nazi's and comparisons to Hitler. It was the basis of the discussion from the get go. Godwin's law critiques the overuse of such comparisons, it doesn't automatically invalidate all comparisons. Some situations may legitimately warrant such references and dismissing them outright is an oversimplification.

I honestly wonder if people know what Nazis are anymore as people just throw around the term like it’s nothing.

The world has changed, so too has how fascism and Nazism present themselves. It's a mistake to assume that because the outward appearance and methods have changed, the underlying ideology is not the same or less dangerous. I put forward previously that the world is shades of grey; so too are the followers with their levels of commitment to the core tenets and ideologies of Nazism. Just because some modern adherents may not wear swastikas or hold rallies in the same overt manner doesn't mean they don't hold similar views about racial purity, authoritarianism, or other facets that defined the original Nazi party. Minimising the threat of neo-Nazis or other similar groups by arguing that "they don't look like Nazis to me" risks underestimating the danger they pose. Extremist groups often rely on the element of surprise and the benefit of doubt from mainstream society to grow and propagate.

I honestly wonder if people know what Nazis are anymore

This is a call for complacency and it's dangerous in the global political climate at present. This statement is a perfect example of the sort of dismissive behaviours that allow the Nazi ideology to manifest in contemporary society. Some factions of the contemporary movement intentionally distance themselves from historical imagery in order to gain mainstream acceptability. Dismissing them because they don't fit the 1940's stereotype allows for the normalization and sanitisation of their ideologies.

So in conclusion, you're correct! Supporting a party that Nazis also support is not the same thing as admitting that you're a Nazi.

You don't have to admit it, the world can see it as plain as day.

Currents-sea hehehe

I would suggest a listen to the Behind the Bastards episodes on him.

Wait, how many of you aren't getting a weekly mattress? Our family gets a new mattress every fortnight TOPS.

3 years seems like an insane amount of time between mattresses.

Many believe the answer is spooning, but they actually forked.

Are you talking about completely wiping the session?

For example, you open a private window (say, session 1) and bookmark sites while in session 1 to refer to later in the same session. Upon closing session 1 the behaviour you expect is for those bookmarks to be deleted. However in session 2, the bookmarks you created in session 1 are persistent?
