Calling someone a nazi out of the blue is offputting and can be trivializing, yeah, but in this case it’s an accurate descriptor of their beliefs and the political movements they’re funding, they’re advocating to do ethnic cleansing in Europe as we speak.
Godwin’s law
I looked it up, Mike Godwin said that the alt-right and similar people do deserve to be compared to the nazis.

Right, because a coupon for something worth cents is exactly the same as a several hundred bucks worth of hardware plus shipment…
Yeah, we can’t just produce content and hope it will magically lead to the defeat of capitalism or some shit, but if this leads to better speech being allowed to be heard without losing your livelihood that’s already a big win
Please research further. I believe your heart is in the right place, but you sound like many of us before we started actually looking for sources and educating ourselves to see past propaganda. Western media (and NGOs, like Amnesty) have been caught lying so many times in just the last few decades to justify destroying countries and raping their peoples that we can’t just take their word for it, especially when talking about the countries that can actual beat them.
Obviously they do have surveillance, all states that can afford to, do, but the cultural genocide claim is false (on youtube, you can find random tourists in Xinjiang passing by people speaking Uyghur, for instance, no need to take my word for it when the evidence is literally there, documented by random liberals online; you can also find stats on how many mosques they have, the legal status of Uyghur and Tibetan, the differences in how one child policy was applied for ethnic minorities, stats on population growth, etc). The extra-national police thing is a conspiracy theory, too. Hacking does happen, in both directions.
Generally, I trust that you’re a smart person who can look things up, try to get sources on different things, and always understand the bias of every speaker. You know my bias is very pro-China, and you know that western media is very anti-China, and you’re free to be anti-China as much as you’d like, but it’s best if you do it with actual sources so we can have good faith discussions on both sides rather than resort to repeating disproven conspiracy theories. We don’t need to repeat claims from QAnon to point to very real problems in the US. If hypothetically the BBC decided to platform anti-US conspiracies (which they won’t, because they’re aligned) that wouldn’t make it any more legitimate, it just shows a bias, in this hypothetical case against the US. The sooner we move past the propaganda, the sooner we can have more honest discussions about China and anything else, even if we might not necessarily agree (ex: I understand many anarchists don’t like China, that’s fine with me as long as they don’t hate China more than other states based on propaganda, but rather reflecting a consistent position against states in general, even if it’s one I disagree with).
Lastly, my reason to like China is because they’re generally a positive force in the international stage, they help many countries actually be able to develop, not out of goodness or something, but because it’s good for them as well as for our countries, and that’s good enough for me. The sooner we have a multilateral world where countries like my own can develop and heal, the better.
They’re stupid yeah lol
Basically misogynistic content creators that give horrible advice to boys and young men, like Andrew Tate, they love the red pill metaphor to act as if they’re enlightened and somehow that’s why they have money and sex. In actuality most of these grifters make most or all of their money from people paying them for courses that don’t work, about money, dating, sex, etc.
Edit: Tate is even worse than the average manosphere creator, he’s a horrible person who did more horrible stuff than just grift, but he’s the first asshole who came to my mind when explaining manosphere creators. They’re all reactionary pos.

Yes, if you believe they tell the truth (rather than them just co-opting popular ideas like funding education), they’re social fascist instead of straight fascist. I’m not sure they deserve the benefit of the doubt, and Hitler did the same thing, as that other commenter said, so there’s that. Because of all of this, I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong to characterize them as fascist, far-right, etc.
They’re practicing the rhetoric strategy known as Bonapartism, which is when you claim to be neither left nor right, but a third way, which is nonsensical as realistically you gotta stand for something. As for this party’s actual views, they’re social fascists (socialdemocracy for me, fascism for thee). They’re wildly racist.
Meanwhile other countries embrace these new technologies and develop, build and iterate.
Like China?
They’re literally named palantir lol
No, you know you have no arguments and you’ve been caught so you’re trying to pretend there’s something wrong with us for not blindly believing CIA propaganda.
This is you:
If you want us to stop clowning you then own up to your mistakes and sit down and READ.
Every dev I know who does knows who DHH is at least by association, he may be a nobody for regular people but he’s a big name in our industry
