The shite Americans will make about skin-colour.

This comment doesn't stand up to 3 seconds thought. It's their one answer to every question.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

If you're saying authoritarianism can be explained by non-whiteness....

But also saying that anyone opposing NATO become ipso facto non-white because it's "an ever-shifting construct"...

Then the "construct" has no explanatory power.

Why not just say 'authoritarianism' is opposition to the NATO bloc?

You're saying "authoritarianism = non-whiteness = opposition to the NATO bloc"

Why not skip the middle step?

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Yanks have this one-size-fits-all thing with no knowledge of the world.

First guy was saying Hitler/Stalin/Milosevic/Putin aren't white, this guy is saying Palestinians are brown

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Really leaning into the "no knowledge of the world" thing

Back when we had kings prior to colonisation, they were elected, could be recalled, and were not hereditary.

Don't know what you're on about with the shit reference.

frightful_hobgoblin , (edited )

And I’m saying that these two constructs have a tendency to be aligned with each other

It's not empiricaly right tho. Hitler and Stalin are the first type-examples. In the modern era it's normally Putin and Xi who get the label.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Sorry I have no idea what you're talking about.

The thread was asking about authoritarianism. I was slagging the people who said it's about being black, not about Hitler, Stalin, the USSR, Putin, etc.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Your make-believe country

This is an old imperialist chestnut. We've heard it all before. As I said here, it is one reason we sympathise with our Palestinian friends: we both have imperialist fucks like you telling us our country is make-believe.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Like I said, I'm here to slag Yanks and their know-nothing racist views of the world.

It's astonishing how they'll confidently lecture ya on things they demonstrate complete ignorance of.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Saying Hitler is white is holocaust denial?

This thread became gibberish a while back

frightful_hobgoblin ,

You fuckers caused this whole situation

How do youfigure that? It was the Brits and the U.N.

Your country still worships Winston

Again, showing your ignorance. Churchill hated us. He ordered the Black & Tans in here, who murdered three of my own relatives. He is a deeply reviled person here and in India.

The arrogance of Yanks is infinite. They think they can lecture people about Palestine/Ukraine/Tigray, when they can't even find countries on a map.

The one hammer in their thick minds is they black/white hammer, which makes no sense for interpreting 90% of things, e.g. authoritarianism in this case.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

The original thing was they said "authoritarianism is when not white".

After that it got confusing.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Go easy on them. These people can't point to countries on maps.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

When did I say anything like that? 🤣🤣🤣

Nobody mentioned Britain, like?

The reading comprehension on ye, honestly. Imagine being this thick and still trying to lecture foreign countries on their poltics and history.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

The Bull McCabe for starters

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Have you just learned that there's more than two possible countries for a person to be from? 🤣🤣

frightful_hobgoblin ,

You have laid bare how your mind works: "If someone's not from the USA they're from the UK"

Learn a bit about the world before talking about it.

simple fix: convert to Baha'i

"Either you confess to being a monster or your denial is evidence you're a monster"

Quite the bind

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Dude, are you all men at the same time? I’m not

We are all all men at the same time on this blessèd day

frightful_hobgoblin ,

You are literally acting out the meme here.

That is my point. The meme deliberately presented a no-win bind.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

what

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Christian Science you mean

frightful_hobgoblin ,

What is your definition of 'religion'?

frightful_hobgoblin ,

In what sense ?

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Cooking lemons

frightful_hobgoblin ,

The existence of Harambe implies the existence of Halalbe

frightful_hobgoblin ,

The implication is weird.

Most music is about euphony, not about politics.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

The BMTH thing to me is hilarious

  • Should I save 1½ seconds typing?

  • If that makes my post incomprehensible?

I'll never understand how people decide that trade-off is a good one.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Did this just happen within the past hour or two?

frightful_hobgoblin ,

what does "pull a Digg" mean?

frightful_hobgoblin ,

It's back

frightful_hobgoblin ,

heightening contradictions eventually lead to a crisis

On this day 25 years ago, the very first episode of "SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS" aired on TV. ( lemmy.ml )

The very first episode of SpongeBob SquarePants "Help Wanted", in which SpongeBob applies for a job at the Krusty Krab, premiered on May 1, 1999. The episode was written by series creator Stephen Hillenburg, storyboard artist Derek Drymon, and Tim Hill....

Not defending Gemini, but your prompts are bad.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

I don't get it

It's pretty weird the way Arsenal have VISIT RWANDA on their sleeves given what's going on in the UK politically now

frightful_hobgoblin ,

It would be a simple enough feature to code on top of the existing Fediverse

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Fair enough if you want to move the goal there it's a score.

I had thought the goal was to remove central control over communication.

AFAIK, the team never defined an official goal.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Userbase.

This game is more about mindshare. It's not about technical capabilities. Facebook are technically dismal.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

He's right that the public key would have to be somewhere, maybe on the profile page. The public key would be one more thing to be federated across servers.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Be weird if they had made the first line of the Preface a counterpoint to the first line of Part 1
