  • This used to be such an interesting site. I hate how they paywalled everything now, it doesn't make sense

  • Nop, it just smells like you are wrong.

    As Whitman shows, the Nuremberg Laws were crafted in an atmosphere of considerable attention to the precedents American race laws had to offer. German praise for American practices, already found in Hitler’s Mein Kampf, was continuous throughout the early 1930s, and the most radical Nazi lawyers were eager advocates of the use of American models. But while Jim Crow segregation was one aspect of American law that appealed to Nazi radicals, it was not the most consequential one. Rather, both American citizenship and antimiscegenation laws proved directly relevant to the two principal Nuremberg Laws—the Citizenship Law and the Blood Law. Whitman looks at the ultimate, ugly irony that when Nazis rejected American practices, it was sometimes not because they found them too enlightened, but too harsh.

    What they are doing is playing the old book of the nazis

  • That edition of Das Capital from penguin is very good

  • If you have suggestions of other free and cool magazines let me know. I really liked Nature (news) site, but recently they've put everything under a paywall.

  • Good luck with the yokai

  • Very interesting

  • I thought the same thing!!

  • You could also understand the image as a difference of social classes, as described by Karl Marx. The thing is that capitalist of today gathered so much power that the balance of dependency in our society is totally broken: capital doesn't need workers anymore. At least not in the classical sense, as it was with the factory worker.

    Thus this image depicts the abandonment of a free and upper class from the struggling local worker.

  • It's very scary indeed, and add to that the "new" policy of "fuck the planet, let's pollute" by one of the most polluting nations in the world.

  • Exactly. And may I add to your point the privatization of public communication by social media ( especially Instagram ). It's becoming very hard to find information about your city public action without an account on Instagram; now to be a citizen is required to have an "social media id".

    Also, business are becoming hostages of Instagram: their only way to communicate with the customers is through this mediation. I think is very very important to platforms like pixelfed to become more popular and indeed brake these people free.

  • “It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk said.

    They want Germany out of EU to fracture the block. Then, when Europe is fragmented and weak they can provide ( sell )"the solution" again.

  • Yes! We need a better interface between them

  • Damn, that computer is hungry!
