timdaub commented on The Leftist Tactic of Labeling Opponents as Nazis or Fascists   selsey.substack.com/p/the... · Posted by u/nis0s

The Nazi Party used the term "Socialist" in its name primarily for propaganda purposes to attract votes from the working class and to co-opt a popular political term in post-World War I Germany. In practice and ideology, Nazism was a far-right, racist, and anti-Marxist movement that brutally suppressed actual socialists and communists once in power.

But lets not let facts get in the way of things shall we?

I always cringe when I hear the word "Nazism." Because the first time I heard it, it was when Putin said it in a speech after invading Ukraine. And indeed, if you check Google Trends, you'll see that the term had its peak around that time and has had an increased usage ever since. Nazism is not a word known in German either. We purposefully call it national socialism. And to be honest, I think it makes sense to be national socialism. Because it is nationally socialist. Meaning it is social towards the nation. Which is also a reason why there is the "Internationale." Because to me socialism that is constraint to a nation is inevitably nationalist, I mean how else could it not be?

Interesting that a neutral submission for the launch of and direct link to Grokipedia was just flagged [1] while this highly sensationalized news article goes up after

Hey CupricTea,

I'm working on building a social media site that wants to improve on moderation and I've found the case of the Grokipedia curious. So I'd love to get in touch with your but didn't find any details in your bio. Please reach out to me and let's do a user interview (can be via email too). My contacts are in my bio

Seriously the moderation and flagging policy on this site has reached truly disgusting levels. "Just let me build the dystopia for Silicon Valley freak billionaires and collect my pathetic $180K pittance in peace!"

It is really concerning that this post was flagged.

It looks interesting for me and not specially politically oriented or "partisan" but a fun fact with stats.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I have the feeling that it was flagged unfairly to mask the disturbing reality shown by numbers.

timdaub commented on Anonymous crypto wallets now illegal in the EU   finbold.com/anonymous-cry... · Posted by u/t0bia_s

Clickbaity title. From the article:

> In a recent regulatory development, cryptocurrency payments of any size using unidentified self-custody crypto wallets are now illegal in the European Union (EU).

Payments are illegal (not wallets), and only if the sender/receivers are not identified (that is, you can ask for identification before transfers from those wallets are made).

Weird because this guy said that hosted wallets are now banned so what now?

Edit: I think this guy, which mind you is a member of parliament, just confused hosted with self-hosted. We're so fucked
