I do not believe in that sort of thing. So, we can go nuts?

key characteristic of fascism

That’s not true and even a glance at first encyclopaedia you can get your hands on can disprove this. This is a very broad characteristic of many ideologies such as Bolshevism

Scholarly consensus that some president is fascist?

Fascism is a precise term for a specific political movement. not some “I don’t like this” adjective

I think it is rather controversial to use it in this way

I don’t even understand what fascism means in each case on lemmy and whether it is a fixed term or some adaptive catch it all

The key word is China, let us not kid ourselves. Otherwise it would be just another pop sci click but now it can be an ammunition in the fight with imperialist degenerated west or some bs like that

Rowling is some white trash but it seems everything is fascist nowadays this word lost its meaning altogether

fascist fascist nazi… doesn’t bring anything to mind anymore. Could be a brand of orange juice at this point or some children snacks

Looks like it was already a problem in 1944 as Orwell writes:

It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley’s broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

Honestly it is unfortunate that most internet commenters are nearly illiterate and aren’t able to come up with more precise adjectives

Socialists must be very happy

What if I know them since yesterday is that good enough?

My actually bingo is complete

From all the steaming platforms I like the Parasite TV the most and it isn’t about worms. Alright it’s called stremio

My mom is my main partner in crime, as a boomer she adjusts incredibly quickly when she hears free or dirt cheap lmao with only questions such as “will they catch us?”

No mom, they will never catch us

Majority of tumblr nsfw seems like some kind of black and white artsy erotica made by touch starved girl nerds so what’s not safe about it

Steam deck showcases perfectly how all usual consumer electronics are not made for you but for company to make bucks by delivering the bare minimum feature set for highest price.

I don’t think I can name any other device, appliance, car or anything that actually is made purely to deliver the most to the user. It’s a single anomaly and I don’t think this will last long or at all, let alone is some trend that will continue.

From all my purchases over the years it was a single device that not only matched expectations but exceeded them x 2 or more. I bought iPad Pro m4 oled around that time too and ipad in comparison is just a little bit more than what it is supposed to be, severely limited, for a hefty sum even though they say apple is a king of hardware.

Apple is not a king of hardware but a master of making money. Valve makes things that are actually awesome (but probably not profitable)

It’s probably temporary and brief moment but I am sure going to make the most out of it before it falls under the waves of enshittification again.

To be honest I don’t know how all these big companies still make money and are popular with how rudimentary, limited and OK their products are. I am like “what kind of fucking loser is slurping up all their stuff” oh… it’s me
