Too bad for your little pet issue of denying this easily confirmed fact, for some reason, Aniki of lemm.ee, favored instance of people with suspiciously fascistic takes, that they used Le Monde as their source instead of just making the numbers up.
This is just going blow to the top of your skull right off, but Israel’s genocidal actions finally meeting broad disapproval can embolden actual anti-semites just as easily as having a Hitler quoting former American president or open neo-Nazi and fascist parties gaining seats in major legislatures.
Man, it’d be wild if all these things were happening at once, huh?
You might see a rise in hate crimes against random, uninvolved Jewish people in different countries or something.
I just got around to playing Total War Warhammer I (forgot it was in my library), and I’m ACHING for Total War: Warhammer 40k.
By the God Emperor, they will just print money with that shit if they don’t fuck up a working system like Warhammer 3 apparently did. Imagine all the DLC hero packs.
If it helps, just remember that the Imperial Guard don’t necessarily care if allies are in their line of fire in the first place…
There’s an argument that it’s not capitalism if the state does it, and proper ideological fascism ultimately aims to absorb the role of capital into itself.
“Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state” is quite literally the goal, per Mussolini.
Of course, when you combine this with their obsession with heirarchy it becomes very apparent they’re just making the owners of capital have ruling class roles, like a particularly shitty absolute monarchy.
This, btw, is why whenever some doofus starts talking about the “third way,” as an alternative to capitalism/liberalism and socialism/communism you can fairly safely just assume he’s dogwhistling for fascism.
Uh, they’ll get fuckin rocked like every time since the fall of the Ottomans.
One of the reasons all the Islamic fundie types get hard for a new Caliphate is there simply isn’t a Muslim nation that can defend itself against Western aggression, except possibly Turkey, and guess who they’re allied with?
The advertiser exodus is 100% a result of his policy changes and public persona. That’s just how it works, the advertisers don’t care about anything but brand awareness.
He changed policy, they left because that policy could be damaging to their brands.
But one of his policies was gutting the workforce, and despite all the dire predictions the platform has somehow still not exploded. There’s certainly a lot of reasons for that, and he’s been publicly embarrassed more than a few times, but if he’d gone in with a scalpel instead of a hatchet and not scared away the money and the tech it’s almost certain he could have made Twitter at least briefly profitable.
Twitter was losing money, but not by standards of potential and net valuation.
Put it like this.
In 2016, Twitter probably decided the US election. At the time, they had 3500 employees.
In 2021, they had 7500, and were losing less money.
Can you think of anything they did in that five year period that made you say, “Wow, that’s a good feature,” or “this community is amazing?”
Not really, right? It was the same Twitter, with double the workforce, doing not a whole lot with them.
Yeah, it sucks that we live in a world where we have to fight fascism.
Do it anyways.
