What do you think fascism is, and what are its causes?
Do you seriously think the German descent into fascism was a result of poltical apathy?
*ignores a century of withering away of social safety nets and institutions at the hands of dems and Republicans, and primarily capitalists
*at the 11th hour and 59th minute of the devolution into fascism, nobly votes for handwringing and pragmatic genocidaire vs unabashed and bombastic genocidaire
*"I'm doing my part! Screw you, Tankies and Ruzzians for destroying America! Muslim and Arab americans in Dearborn who decided not to vote for a woman who promised to kill their bothers and sisters in Palestine and Lebanon with utmost lethality are redfash, and are the reason for the pickle we're in now. Ignore the last 200 years of history that led us here."
Yep, checks all the liberal boxes. History only starts where it is convenient.
The last thing my grandma said every time we had a phone call: "Love you, anon. Dont work too hard!"
I let this philosophy guide me now. The graveyard is full of people who thought they were irreplaceable.
Nope. We only use identity politics to explain political failings here.

You dont find this shoddy workmanship in homes built before 1945. All the shoddy houses before 45 are gone now, and only the good ones remain.
Pathetic. I expect the democrats will soon be pushing a law forbidding ICE from brutalizing citizens for more than 30 minutes.
Every democrat in power should be lighting shit on fire until ICE is abolished.
Muslim and Arab Americans in Dearborn who listened to Kamala promise to kill their brothers and sisters in Palestine and Lebanon with utmost lethality, and decided not to vote for her, are the reason for America's burgeoning fascism. Thanks for the top analysis, chief.
Except time, energy, and breath that could go into things that actually affect change.
There is nothing to be gained by highlighting Republican hypocrisy.
You must have not experienced covid in the United States. All I saw here was a hectic shitshow full of scores of people utterly rejecting any semblance of disease guidance - going so far as doing the opposite of whatever the institutions recommended. Then there were a few redeeming groups who decided to play ball - not out of obedience, but out of love and respect for vulnerable groups.
Mutual aid networks and distribution networks will be subject to relentless attacks from reactionary forces. We ought to protect these networks, and trans people, with supreme military technology - ie tanks.
Actually, the constitution IS ambiguous in how it defines war. If it weren't so ambiguous, presidents wouldn't be able to take advantage of the War Powers Act so easily - as they have done for decades.
The US hasn't declared war since WWII despite both red and blue presidents dropping untold bombs since then. The hubbub about Trump unilaterally carrying out "military action" is less about scary orange man, and more about an executive branch that has been concentrating power for decades under red and blue presidents alike. This, like many other things, is something that leftists have been sounding alarm bells about for ages.
Stop elevating the Constitution. It is an extremely weak, vague, and antiquated document that was written almost exclusively by 20 something, white, enslaving, landowing white males. I know of no other constitution that explicitly enshrines the right to enslave people. The US constitution is an embarrassment, and its no surprise its getting torn to shreds once the first unabashedly fascist shows up.
The last time the US formally declared war was WWII. Presidents, both blue and red, have been taking advantage of the incredibly weak War Powers Act for decades now.
They also sat on their asses for 4 years as fascism festered. They never fired Merrick Garland. They never stacked courts. They censured Al Greene. They didnt question Biden's campaign until just before midnight. They ignored Biden's terrible polling. They confirmed Trump's cabinet picks with minimal opposition. Dem leadership folded and passed Trump's budget.
Every single democratic senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio - who then answered by doing fascism in short order
The democrats are controlled opposition, and it's time to abandon them. No amount of "calling out hypocrisy" is going to stop fascism.
Am I understanding this right? You believe that, amid a new strategy of gunning down starving Palestinians arriving to aid sites, Taiwan was obligated to start giving free vacations to genocidal IDF soldiers to bolster its defensive capacity? Dafuq?
Yall's "liberal pragmatism" is laughably evil.
So then why is Taiwan bending over backwards to cater to Zionists from a lunatic blood-thirsty genocidal child-killer state-terrorism country? Going so far as offer free vacations to zionists and expanding ties in the wake of Oct 7?

“It was Mao Zedong who said, ‘Israel and Taiwan are bases of operation for imperialism in Asia. They created Israel for the Arabs and Taiwan for us. They both have the same objective’. So almost automatically, if China supports a side, then Taiwan will support the other,” Arnaud Bertrand, an expert on China, told Middle East Eye.
On my truenas scale machine, I have a container for gluetun and one for qbittorrent (among others). Maybe a couple times a week, I notice that the VPN connection gets flakey. Qbittorrent speeds go down into the kb/s range. This promps me to carry out an annoying, manual process:
- I pause all torrents in qbittorrent webui
- I stop both the qbit and gluetun containers
- I start the gluetun container
- I give the gluetun container adequate time to connect (since the qbit container depends on the gluetun network, attempting to start both at the same time yields an error on the qbit side)
- I start the qbit container
- I resume all torrents in the qbittorrent webui
Is there any easy way to automate this process? Preferably one that doesn't require me to learn ansible? I'm hoping the solution could all be done via portainer - which I use.
Thank you in advance.
