It should have been clear 7 years ago that Europe can't rely on US any more. Hoping US will become a rational partner again and dragging their feet on real action is probably equal part inertia and corruption. Hopefully they will wake up sooner than they did with Russia and energy independence.

But isn't Rust supposed to be great and memory safe?

Oh, ok, I see what's going on here. You see, since you started listing all those other countries I thought you actually are referring to global situation. Now I see you're only talking about USA, That's why I said you're exaggerating. USA is not the whole world. The world will be fine. USA taking more isolationist stance may even be good for everyone else. But thanks for explaining to me, an European, what fascism is. We really don't know anything about it here. Only Americans understand this phenomenon. Can you also explain to me what democracy and freedom is?

Are you talking about me or yourself now? Seams like you intended this for me but you actually perfectly described your comments.

Sure sure, keep repeating that to yourself.

If you think '2024 is going to be the beginning of the end of us all' means "Hey, let's be careful" than sadly I can't help you with your poor reading comprehension.

So posting on lemmy and boycotting businesses you don't like. Awesome.

Hey guys, don't worry about the future, this guy will totally stop fascism. We're fine.

WTF are you talking about? So solar if free because 'solar hydrogen'? You're not making any sense.

Dude, the topic of this post is "2024 is going to be the beginning of the end of us all". It says "No I’m not catastrophising.", " I’m going to be crushed" and "The world is slowly lurching towards a fully fascist ...".

Now you're trying to say it all just means “hey we should really check out this smoke billowing under the door”. Jesus fucking Christ, you really don't see it? To prove how wrong I am claiming OP is exaggerating you yourself had to tone down his rhetoric by 90%. If the OP would say "Hey, we should be careful or the extreme right will take over and dismantle some of our rights" I would totally agree. But yeah, keep pretending he was reasonable and I disagreed with his totally rational, toned down arguments.

I wonder what you're doing about the imminent world war that's so brave and non-bootlicking.

Then you don’t understand fascism.

Ok, I guess we'll see who was right in a couple of years. But I'm genuinely surprised so many people think we will have nuclear apocalypse in a couple of years. Sounds more like silly groupthink and coping than honest concern. But if you really think you're a year or two away for unimaginable suffering or death I feel for you. Has to be terrible.

I guess what I'm saying is that there will be no world war or genocides. Was that really so difficult to understand? Like, you really think I was suggesting that genocide is not that bad?

I'm starting to love the groupthink here. "The world is ending. Yes, yes, it's the end. Let's down-vote anyone slightly less pessimistic".

Same way capitalism and globalization is good for business? Right wing parties tend to oppose social policies and promote income inequality which is good for corporations. Again, not saying it will be good for us. Just that we've seen couple if shifts to the right like this already. In a decade or two it will shift back to the left. Except in US, there the empire will collapse but is questionable if it will be net negative for the world.

Make up your mind. OP is also worried about India. Only white people will be fine in India? You pretend to be worried about the whole world but very quickly show that you're actually only worried about the western countries.

you think that’s okay

Where did I say that? Just because I don't agree with your extremely pessimist predictions means I think fascism is OK? WTF?

America, India, Hungary, Russia, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Argentina.

America, India and Russia where a terrible, terrible places for democracy and minorities for decades now. Only because you're just now waking up to this fact doesn't mean the world is sliding into fascism.

Netherlands, Germany and Italy still operate inside EU and still follow all the rules. EU has powerful tools for enforcing those rules, they just managed to force Hungary to back down over Ukraine funding. Poland just had w big swing to the left, as did Spain. EU is sliding to the right, yes, but it's more a typical, generational shift than embrace of fascism.

Argentina has terrible economic issues, their populism is completely different.

Basically what's going on is that the American illusion of a democracy is finally collapsing and since I don't think it's the end of the world I'm OK with fascism. We all should hold hands with Americans and help them cope with the realization their country is not as great as they thought....

I think that instead of it being the end we will simply learn that fully fascist world is actually quite good for business and nothing will change for vast majority of people. I'm not saying it will be good. It will be worse, just not as bad as you think.

Edit: I guess I should have said "fully fascist" with ' " '. What I'm saying is that the world is moving to the right, yes, but it's not collapsing into fascist states. OP is being overly pessimist. The whole world is not turning into US.

Jesus, of course it's not free. Solar panels are not free, the land you put ten on is not free, construction is not free and the infrastructure needed to supply energy during the nigh (storage or another source of energy) is not free. How is this not obvious?

Be the police that stops a robbery or rape. Don't be the police that plants evidence to justify illegal raid, then murders the drag dealer to steal his money while selling guns to gangsters specializing in killing kids.

What you said (if I understand you correctly, you didn't give any examples) boils down to breaking standards established by the current browsers. The standards that web developers and servers universally follow. If you want to build browser that will not follow standards you might just as well render HTML in non-standars ways. Most pages will not work anyway.
