Thanks I'm gonna try this

Better not mention that you don't use Firefox

I want to believe this, but an article on a site I've never heard of which provides zero sources is not really enough to be trustworthy

Thanks for clarifying. In my case that's basically zero gain then cos all my devices have ad block in their browsers and I generally either use apps that have no ads or use revanced to remove them

Non stick doesn't have to be Teflon. Fuck Teflon!

Oh no! Anyway....

Yeah but he's on Lemmy and engaging in discussion so there's potentially hope

That is why it has to first be proven in a court of law

I'm not defining anything. Fascism is an already well defined term with very clear criteria, such as being opposed to democracy and replacing it with an authoratarian, one-party state. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

In Germany there is a special, independent court, at a similar level to the US supreme court but without the ability for parties to appoint the judges like they can in the US, that reveiws hard evidence and determines whether a political party can be proven to be actively trying to break the constitution (including the part that makes Germany a democracy, for example). So it's not left up to someone's opinion, nor can one party simply label another as fascist to ban them (like Hitler did)

It probably depends on the specific field of study. My experience comes from software engineering

In a good non stick pan you can fry an egg without any oil at all, so no, adding a bunch of oil is not a replacement for that

I think the key take away is that college is over rated, as you can easily find and create your own course materials on par with (or often better than) what the professors create

Holy crap... slashdot still exists??

The main thing you need is a much better constitution

Sure, but dictatorships don't end without civil war

The US constitution kinda sucks and just trusts those in power to uphold democracy. Germany learned from Hitler that that isn't the case, so their constitution provides multiple defences against a dictator that US lacks

Being intolerant of fascists does not make one a fascist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Not true, there have been multiple banned parties since WW2

This wouldn't be a party banning another party, it would be the independent constitutional court

Nothing in this article describes it solving any problem that isn't better solved by an ad blocker. In fact they even admit that you still need an ad blocker anyway. So why bother with the pi hole?
