(this is drunken blathering, nothing of consequence is said past this point)

This is, actually, something that's become a pretty core belief for me. Since waking up from the conservative idiocy I was raised within I mean.

The idea being that no grand atrocities were directed by lazy people. Related is my argument for the value of uncertainty, a person who isn't quite sure that they already understand everything important.

(and I'm too drunk to tell if this comment is at all relevant to the context I'm posting it in...)

This isn't fakenews?

I'm seeing headlines that Republicans quietly posted a report proving trans healthcare saves lives and simultaneously seeing that Utah Republicans stand by the ban(1) and are misquoting the report's conclusions.

Download the report from the Utah State website where it's hosted.

When I clicked the "Download Report" links from Firefox, the file that downloads doesn't open as a readable report. That may be a problem on my end though.

I decided to listen to Behind the Insurrections again and this time follow the sources Evans provides but... I can't find any place hosting the podcast episode that has the show notes which allegedly contained the sources?

My wider mission is to find the sources Evans used to build the episode but first I'm looking for a thesis Robert recommends the audience read which provides a summary of the business leaders' perspectives in the time leading up to the Business Plot. This essay, Evans says, is authored by Bradley Galca of the University of Albany.

Searching that name on Google and on DuckDuckGo comes up with nearly no results and nothing relating to the actual author. That is, a few LinkedIn profiles? Not what I'm looking for.

Does anyone here have a better place to search? (I know I don't know how to search anymore now that Google is useless)

And also, does anyone know where the source list for this episode went? Does it still exist on the internet?

Isn't the United Federation of Planets explicitly communist?

Musk tried to defend his flagrant Nazi pageantry by pointing himself out as a Zionist. Wasn't literally Hitler a supporter of the creation of Israel (a Jewish state)?

Over this past year of Israel's full-throated genocide in Palestine, I've been surprised to not see it pointed out that (to my understanding) Zionism was a platform of the Nazi party.

Am I wrong? Was Zionism not so explicitly supported by the Nazi party?

I can't find any YouTube downloaders that still work or this is what I'd do

Just in case anyone might argue it wasn't a Nazi salute, he turns to face his fascist lord and repeats the gesture with precision. A crisp and clean fascist salute.

The fuck is this shit?

Is it easy as saying so for Trump to put it back on?

Goddamnit, with this and the Covid era windfall he gave the poors, we're never going to get them to work again!

This question has been steeping in my mind in the years since a conversation with an ex-friend of mine (libertarian baby-fascist) regarding his self-identification as a "Nationalist" and his point that he thinks "The 'socialism' of Scandinavian countries would be okay here (United States) if it were only for the American citizens".

It didn't occur to me then to ask him if that made him a National Socialist and if he had any familiarity with that term, but... Now I don't talk to that baby-fasc at all.

So anyway, the question that I have now is "Why Did The Nazis Call Their Party 'Socialist'?" I understand they definitely weren't socialist, they were extremely capitalist with private interests using the power of the state to plunder the networth of "undesirables".

So why did they call themselves socialist? Was there a pretense that the state would build a socialist support network after it established itself as an imperial entity? (But) The Night of Long Knives was them scouring the party of any left-leaning members, right?

Did they call themselves socialist just as branding?

It appears the patriot who performed this public service has not yet been apprehended!

This is pretty ridiculous to accuse the Olympics especially. They're famous for periodically redefining sex in ways that bar previous medalists from competing in future events. It's not like this athlete didn't have to jump through the same crazed hoops as every other female athlete.
