I would absolutely volunteer for this, abso-friggin-lutely.

If I die in the process, I'm not gonna know it, and new me ain't gonna either. At least that's how I see it.

Now that trump won ill even volunteer to go first LOL.

Actually I changed my mind and disagree with my other comment LOL.

I still find it hard to call an extremely ignorant uneducated person a fascist, who is being manipulated by an actual fascist leader. They're just potentially being manipulated. The dumber they are, the easier to manipulate.

Some or even many of these people conceivably would change their stances and choices if provided with lots of education. Some.

I'd say most of the maga base don't know this though. Complete ignorance. Just "libs kill babies" is their thought process.

I have a hard time thinking that someone who is dumb and manipulatable by a fascist, is actually a fascist themselves. They're just dumb and easy to manipulate.

Kindly, I disagree again lol.

Indifferent:

Having no particular interest or concern; apathetic

I still argue you need to understand it to be indifferent about it specifically. However, I do believe these people are indifferent to having a desire to learn what fascism actually is and actual historical contexts.

But we can agree to disagree 😀

Edit: oops "to be a fascist" yes I'll agree with you on that one sorry. They can be fascists without actually knowing that they are and how to define it.

That has got to be a fucking onion headline. Yowza.

majority of Americans are fascists or indifferent to fascism.

I'm not convinced of that at all. Here's what I see:

A large portion of ignorant uneducated and easily manipulatable people who don't even know what fascism is.

  • Large groups of religious people who focus on voting red because Christianity, their churches, pastors, and religious groups, and the abortion issue.

  • Actual bigots. There's a lot of them and they like the racism, anti gay, nationalism, deportation stuff. Want women subjugated.

  • Bullies, tough guys, "alpha male", and the "get money" crowd. There's a lot here too, and many in poor young black and Hispanic groups in addition to a lot of white males. Not necessarily bigots, but generally want women subjugated whether they know it or not (sex objects).

  • The large group of just vote red without thinking because it's what family and friend circles do and always have.

The above I think don't understand fascism at all. Not educated or informed enough.

Edit: I would say to be "indifferent to fascism" you have to actually understand what it is, and I don't think much of the maga crowd does. My opinion/speculation.

I love chatgpt, and am dumbfounded at all the AI hate on lemmy. I use it for work. It's not perfect, but helps immensely with snippets of code, as well as learning STEM concepts. Sometimes I've already written some code that I remember vaguely, but it was a long time ago and I need to do it again. The time it would take to either go find my old code, or just research it completely again, is WAY longer than just asking chatgpt. It's extremely helpful, and definitely faster for what I'd already have to do.

I guess it depends on what you use it for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I hope it continues to improve. I hope we get full open source. If I could "teach" it to do certain tasks someday, that would be friggin awesome.

I knew someone would post this fast and I was not dissapointed.

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Agreed. And stop getting free tax money.

This video is a well put together rehashing of Karl Nell and his significance in disclosure.

Shermer is a skeptic, not a debunker. He brings up convincing arguments that I would certainly like to see answers to. He mentions that he reached out to Lue for an interview.

I personally would really like to see how Lue would handle questioning from someone like Shermer or even Mick West.
