Personally I preferred punk in the “deliberately ugly” way

I suggest you read a book on fascism like this one (excerpts)

Do as you’re told and eat your vegetables :D

Hindenburg was representing an institution more like the supreme court, similar to how the liberals on the supreme court in the US are currently doing mental gymnastics to allow an insurrectionist to run for president, he allowed Hitler to grab power. I get the joke but it’s actually relevant in another way - failure to oppose fascism by well meaning (or edgy) people.

While the GOP is definitely become fascist, the US and the democrats is a neoliberal plutocracy, it’s different from fascism (= a belief in inequality based on an mythological and essentialized identity). Say what you want about capitalism but they don’t give a shit about your identity as long as they can sell you things or exploit you. Fascists don’t like capitalism because it’s too egalitarian - they want inequality and classes based on identity not money.

If you’re an accelerationist you should also consider what the better tactical choice is to bring about a socialist revolution. Fascism is very stable and difficult to overthrow without the support of the military, and the technology to surveil and control people is much more advanced than in e.g. Nazi Germany. And you didn’t have much of a resistance there either.

their supreme court is not different from Iran

I love the comparison to Iran’s guardian council. To be fair their model of democracy / theocracy is build around resisting regime change / coup attempts from imperialist influences.

To be a bit more seriously, I’m not from the US but I’d be very careful. The MAGA movement might very well start rounding up trans people and whoever else they don’t like. Something like a “Kristallnacht”. They absolutely could turn the US into a fascist dictatorship. I hate the neoliberals too but from a tactical viewpoint you really should vote for Biden.

The court has been found to be fascist and aiding and abetting a genocide.

A browser AI to detect AI shenanigans on websites would be awesome. Let the AI wars begin!

Not sure why the link doesn’t work: https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] (there is also a second community and a av1 discord server.

Fire stick pro max should support av1 but I have no experience with that.

Av1 is the best compression format but it still requires more work to use it well. The tools for x265 are more mature.

The German press does frame the atrocities very pro Israel. They do present the facts but if you look at the headlines and the language. Everyone is rightly protesting the AfD but meanwhile the government AGAIN makes Germany complicit in a genocide. And it’s a coalition of social democrats, greens and libertarians no less.
