Who also considered himself a libertarian at one point…

It’s crazy we would never be able to tell when dementia takes over

On average, people have 1.1 milk producing tits

This is clearly “official duties”for Trump lmao

lol who’s still holding this shit

The OG fascists, with the bundle on their coat of arms, representing the uniformity of opinion held together.

One of the core characteristics of fascism - the rejection of dissent, in favor of unanimity.

Edit- totally fascinating read about the predecessor, the “Fasci Italiana di Combattimento”

Mussolini used his newspaper in 1919 to espouse an eclectic mix of “dramatic and eye-catching” proposals inspired by views from across the political spectrum, as he was “far more concerned with tactics than with ideas” and discovered that inconsistency did not bother his readers.[32] Mussolini at this time “appeared successively as champion of the League and then nationalist, as socialist and then conservative, as a monarchist and then republican” and actively wished to keep all his political options open.

(…)

In general, its stances were radically different from those of later fascism, as the early Fasci proclaimed its opposition to censorship, militarism and dictatorship.[23]Mussolini wrote that “we are libertarians above all, loving liberty for everyone, even for our enemies”.[24] On the same occasion, he also said that freedom of thought and speech were among the “highest expressions of human civilization”.[24]

Oh boy, this sounds so current…

Wait - so this is the CCP directly censoring a whole worldview from its citizens.

But I was told on several lemmy threads that the CCP lets their users consume any content, and all the censorship is American propaganda to make the great leader look bad.

Why is it a different product then? Does it allow the same content? Same algorithm?

Or is it different, and not an actual carbo copy?

I imagine you find comfort in such a simple worldview

Oh sweet summer child - you are about to see what “friendly” really is

Sounds like an euphemism to a call from Trump or Likud nuts

Not if Trumpy has a say in it…

Added to my Libby queue - I love our public library system

“Competition is for losers” lecture by Peter Thiel at Stanford lays out very clearly that none of these mfers actually wants competition once they dominate an industry.

Avatar…legs!! 😆

I got you. You and I, brother - for a moment there it seemed anything was possible, but I guess the John Birch Society never went away.

If billionaires were protected as we protect children in schools, we’d literally run out billionaires in a month.
