  • Easy answer is no. All you're doing is allowing fascists the ability to hurt people who they otherwise wouldn't be able to reach. What the left should be doing is weakening and defeating fascism as a concept, not trying to win fascists over to their side. The cryptofash ""left"" (perverted neolibs who call themselves leftists) are the ultimate proof of what happens when your strategy is to "convert nazis"

    To put it bluntly, the more we can defeat fascism during times of peace, the less people will have to die once the bullets start to fly.

  • A person on reddit once cried to me that "blocking is only for when people are harassing you" and I just laughed and blocked them. If reddit's mods/admins would rather ban people calling out nazis than the nazis themselves, than you're well in your right to so for yourself.

  • Mastodon's blocking can fuck right off. Very fascist neoliberals there routinely use it to censor anyone with an opposing viewpoint and because being blocked literally locks you out of content people are literally afraid to post anything lest they offend the creator's very fragile egos.

    As a result the entire platform is basically you just shouting into the void where people who like you have a huge incentive not to engage. You want to know how how many conversations have had even a response? 2. Two. My entire time there, two times. People either agree with what you say and like it or they don't and block you on sight. Nobody wants to risk being left out so they just keep to themselves.

  • Yeah we're fucked. Take the average person and they'd sooner become a nazi when push comes to shove than believe in a better world.

    It's not if society is going to fall, that's going to happen regardless of what you do, it's if you personally are going to survive the fallout.

  • Competent search results, where you could plug in absolute nonsense and it would understand based on context clues. Now it's a braindead AI that decides what it wants to see for you, and if you want to search for an exact thing adding more keywords makes it less likely to find it.

  • Everyone keeps talking about evil undemocratic China - But we choose to conduct billions of dollars worth of business and transactions with them on a regular and ongoing basis.

    That's probably one of the biggest contradictions of capitalism. You can make up all the bullshit (or valid) reasons you want for why something is bad but because money is the only consideration, all of that falls by the wayside the instant they have something to offer that they want.

    When communism finally wins, it will be because capitalists were the ones who ultimately funded them.
