You can't blame 2nd amendment types for being illogical and not delivering on their talk. After all, one can't force the government to do anything with what militia are allowed to legally possess. If they were more like National Guard in access to armaments - then there would probably be some pressure. But of what I've heard, in USA militia movement is mostly right-wing, racist, Confederate flag types.

I really dislike our time in this crystallization of despotism everywhere. For example, it's pretty clear that after this war (or after it stabilizes enough) the current Russian regime will not be overthrown. They may find a few scapegoats, their dear leader first of all, and remove them. But the general mechanic will not change.

You think wrong.

No, just pointing out that there's difference between Russia's mischief level (similar to Saddam's level or frankly even US level in Iraq 2004) and the Nazi level (countries doing that are not being called mischievous by westerners, because their free uncensored media somehow magically by itself freely aligns with geopolitical policies of western governments).

And since the person I was answering is likely from a country allied with some of the latter, seems shameless for them to bring up Nuremberg.

offtopic: It's interesting, when comparing century-old and today's German formal language, how sentences are now structured more similar to English. I don't know German (only a bit), just interested in languages. Due to sentence and text structure this picture is much more understandable than something, well, old enough.

It’s YOUR country and we are talking about YOUR country and no one else. Don’t look at others. Do not normalize that.

I don't care what you are talking about. It's pretty normal that you think you have the moral high ground. It's also pretty normal that in fact you don't.

The rest of your comment is your imagination, having nothing to do with what I said.

I said that if, say, WWII didn't happen (something like Man in the High Castle, but moderate version), but some kind of Nuremberg trials did happen, with, say, Dolfuss and Mussolini and their crowd, but not Nazis as the accused, - that would be the correct analogy to Russia being accused in such a tribunal and half the US allies not.

That's truth whether you like it or not. And you are not on the side of any freedom or rules-based order too, you are on the side that bombed Gaza for a year, and the genocidal (for real and not like Russia) Turkish state, and Saudi Arabia, and Gulf Arab monarchies.

I'm not a native speaker and autistic in addition to that, but Google says yes.

Chinese economy is even more capitalist if that's possible.

I like this observation, because the kind of information imbalance normal for today wasn't for late XIX and early XX centuries, where our common ideas of economics originate, Marxist and Austrian and what not.

It's not that the weak could say more about the strong in the press, it's the speed with which information traveled, and also that the strong had more trouble coordinating their actions.

Why did I type this bullshit anyway, as if it changes something.

And Electrum still crashes under FreeBSD when trying to send BTC, and I don't see many more FOSS thin wallets for BTC, despite it being the cryptocurrency. And using 15GB for a wallet is out of question.

If it works the same way with "AI", we might eventually see this wave of bullshit recede.

And what's the problem with liking Signal?
