I like coffee, Philly, Pittsburgh, Arabic language, anything on two wheels, music, linux, theology, cats, computers, pacifism, art, unity, equity, etymology, the power of words, and getting high off airplane glue. Will use Adobe Illustrator for food.

News@lemmy.world•Report says school shooting suspect was fascinated with mass shootings and expressed neo-Nazi viewsEnglish
1·8 months agoNazis did not have an ideology. They were a grievance movement that utilized a common folk scapegoat (Jewish and Roma migrants) to unify the fractured German political landscape in the Weimar Republic era.
It was a populist demogogue movement that cynically and callously used terminology that was common and popular among poor working class people in order to trick them into believing that their movement was about anything other than hatred, extermination, and pilfering public coffers. The ‘Socialist’ part of their name was a cynical play to attract those who were active in Communist organizing in the early 1900s.
There was no collective ownership in Nazi Germany. The government owned much of everything, and the only parties that benefited from that ownership were the individual cronies that Hitler personally feted. Nazi Germany was socialist in the way that Vladimir Putin’s Russian Federation is a Communist state — IN NAME ONLY.

13·8 months agoI wish the rest of the world would put us under trade embargo. The US imports an absolute fuckton of South Korean electronics and cars. KIA is quite well established here, especially as a budget car.

politics @lemmy.world•The Justice Department's deputy chief was caught on a hidden camera saying that the government will "redact every Republican" from an Epstein client list and "leave all the liberal, Democratic people"English
6·8 months agoHonestly, doing this for would be such a hilarious operational vulnerability that I think it would be like a dinner bell ringing to th international spy community lol.
If they release files with only Republican names blocked out, all it’ll take is a single congressperson to read the full list of names that appear in the documents out loud during a speech and into the public record — then, Internet sleuths and journalists will be able to piece together names from details, they always do.
