This only works if fascists are not the majority. But they are.
The often mentioned “silent majority” are actually latent fascists who were previously apathetic. They are awake now and have the momentum, the cultural power, and the dominant position in public discourse. Any move that validates them is dangerous.

Meanwhile me watching the news

It will only serve to make AfD supporters even more convinced they are right. The leaders of the party might stay quiet but they are not that important, nobody on the top really believes their own ideology.

But the perception of being silenced by the government is a great motivator for those who feel emotionally connected to those ideas which seems to be about 20% of the German voters.

These were not even normal prisoners, they were illegal immigrants. Well, now it makes sense, the US is so against immigration they are even going after immigrants to Yemen.

But they are. I mean they are not saluting but their opinions, their mindset, and ideology are quite similar .

eco-activist, women’s rights supporter, and anti-fascist

fighting for Russia

ummm, something doesn’t compute

I’ve long thought that Salvadorean prisoners should be considered POWs rather than criminals. Through that lense, the confinement of anyone with the enemy “uniform” (tattoos in this case) makes perfect sense. And exchange for other prisoners.

Bukele is just too dumb to understand his own actions. Or dislikes the Geneva convention which would apply if he framed it like that.

Good. Visa regimes should be reciprocal, even if the visa request is just symbolic

2.27 ants per tube on average. Ant experts, is this the correct way to pack ants?

Makes me wonder how deep does the algorithm divide go. In these 1.5 years I was never served an explicitly pro-Israel content. On the other hand I was served pro-Palestinian and even some anti-Israel creators.

Sure this is just anecdotal, but there must be something behind it. The algorithmic bubble, or intentional manipulation, idk?

Is he using a random number generator?

South Korea is a weird place. They do some things really, really well. But the things they do badly, they’re really bad at it, and even worse they refuse to admit having a problem.

Just double check whatever tank goes out of that factory actually performs according to spec in the real world, not only in test conditions.

This smells like some kind of bias. Find a measuring error in one situation and then project the maximum error onto everything.

Any statisticians here, is there a name for this?

I don’t think it can be described as surprising. It’s a consequence of the dominant narrative placing men as exclusively aggressors, rather than also victims of the patriarchy.

Ok then I’m surprised it’s so high on average. Only some very bad places drop under 5

I’m very worried that the US will not defend Taiwan in the case of invasion. It was widely considered that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan was a situation likely to lead to a nuclear war.
I was hoping to live long enough to see the extermination of humanity.

I don’t think they would be shocked because it’s a common sentiment in the west too “Our country needs a strong leader!”
Thinking that is one of the few cases where it would be justified for people to lose political rights.

How many times do we need to learn the same lesson about prohibition? Although it did help a lot to reduce domestic violence according to the article. Getting rid of forced marriage instead of alcohol would have been a better option but we should celebrate small victories I guess…
