His last couple of podcasts were basically his blog posts so it might be a matter of waiting a bit until it catches up.

Fascists are a symptom and not the cause. If you’re suspending democracy you better do it for the good of the people and not the rich, otherwise you’re only delaying the inevitable. So far it looks like it was done so that things could stay the same and people already said „no” to this.

The gesture is very vague and that’s the point. You’re burning energy while his supporters can now say you’re seeing nazis everywhere. Better focus on real issues like growing inequality because ultimately that’s the reason you’re facing fascists at all.

I really hope you can convict him of everything you accuse him of, otherwise trust in the democratic institutions might erode even further and it won’t be Georgescu’s fault. So far it looks like elites up top just cancelled elections. Fuck Russian assets but also fuck those centrist technocrats who made people vote for him.

I participated in the biggest protests since the fall of Russian occupation in my country. I helped people organise and prepare, I joined a political party and ran in local elections. Results? None, because there was no path to those and leadership up top is mostly concerned about their position. It was actual virtue signalling even though I hate everyone who uses this term.

What is your plan exactly? There is raising awareness but are you actually convincing anyone? Is someone unaware of what’s happening? What I’m seeing is that libs assume everything Trump supporters say is wrong and vice versa, there’s no discussion so how can any of you convince each other? It was similar here and we’re still stuck with this setup. In a polarised world people picked their sides based on criteria that were important to them and then pulled into a boxing match between liberals and fascists. You could have even agreed on some things but you hate each others guts to the point where you assume all positions of your political football team. If you engage in those ineffective ways of political activism you’re just going to have people run out of steam for nothing.

I’m not exchanging financial information with strangers regardless of whether it is online or offline. You’re not IRA, you don’t need this kind of precautions anyway.

I just hope he’s found guilty of something or it will look very very very bad for western democracies.

I link to the original so that others can tell what they are clicking on. There’s also a link to an archived version of the page in the post body if you can’t access original text.

I participated in plenty of protests but haven’t made any acquaintances. I think internet is a better space for meeting people.

Not to mention sometimes a protest starts peaceful and then goes to shit.

Taking a look at the Tesla protests it’s just no-impact feel-good thing. Liberals have too much of disdain for non-economic violence.

Write down your name and ICE information with a sharpie on your body. Use a rugged phone case.

Don’t bother going to peaceful protests, they don’t work against post-truth authoritarian governments.

I think they meant human-curated.

I’m a news junkie but you’re kidding yourself if you think staying on top of things can affect anything. Now is a good time to review reliability of news sources that you’re using, not add even more. To me it sounds like you’re about to create an enormous bubble / echo chamber where you can no longer recognise any self faults. It’s now more important than ever to see reality all of us created. Please be mindful of your mental health or you’ll end up with anxiety attacks.

The thing is that many people, myself included assumed most were dead and cannibalised by Reddit and Facebook groups. Turns out those specialised places have been running continuously on their own pace. Yeah, threads can still span hundreds of pages but in the end going through them makes you an expert on things overnight ;)

Maybe the idea behind those smaller communities is that they’d be focused on things like fishing and kite surfing. Social media that are even remotely popular have become football stadiums where people constantly need to pledge allegiance to their teams and that’s just really boring now.

Google Now and Google Inbox did stuff that’s beyond what can be achieved in AI in practice now. Both shut down due to being unprofitable XD

Yoghurt that they make out of this poor Balkan man is very tasty when combined with garlic.
