  • This is it, and we (in the west) have gone so far to the right that the richest man of the world, with a powerful position (formally) near government can do the Hitler salute and the established media just shrugs.

    Doing the Hitler salute used to make you a pariah. Now, it’s just a thing the extreme right does to ‘provoke’ (that word I saw used to describe Bannon’s salute in a German newspaper title). In a couple of years, it is normal that the right does this, and the established media doesn’t bat an eye anymore.

    It’s clear that you still can’t trust established media to be a force against nazism. They’ll start analysing the nazi takeover as nazi only when it’s much too late, out of fear of not being ‘neutral’.




  • I dunno. I don’t really ‘feel’ Reddit being much different to 2023. Well, beside from some of my favourite niche subs not being the same because the mods felt strongly about the API protests.

    There was r/TheDonald before, too. That was much worse than r/conservative, I’d say. And the big general bullshit subreddits were filled to the brim with nonsense before 2023 as well…

    I’m glad to have Lemmy as an alternative, though.
