In Nazi diatribe, Trump calls for mass deportations of socialists and communists

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I hope everyone supporting nationalist politicians because the old days were better for them take some time out of their day to reflect on this, let WW1 and WW2 at least have the positive side of teaching us about what not to fall for as citizens.

A German county elected a far-right candidate for the first time since the Nazi era, raising concern

Social media misinformation is far from being the largest cause. There are so many people living in villages and islands that aren't educated, and fully believe the far right's fairy tales about how they're going to fix the system and restore things to how they used to be.

I agree about social media though, I think that the EU needs to give Meta, Google and Twitter an ultimatum: Fix your algorithms in order not to create echo chambers of misinformation otherwise you're gone from every EU country.

I miss reddit

This is a refreshing post. I get really tired seeing the same shit again and again, Meta this, Elon that, Linux is great, FOSS is religion, fuck capitalism, etc. I agree with a good percentage of the things I see here (although there are many cases where people go to extremes) but I need to see some "normal people" content. I feel like a depressed social outcast reading the same nerd stuff without any other content, no offense.
