The software in the screenshot doesn’t require you to use Discord, but that’s not good enough there.

Why stop there? Do the open source apps you’re advocating run on Windows or Nvidia drivers? You could get upset about them too, because they’re also one step removed from something closed source.

Then it sounds like all that’s left to do is get 150 million people to use them.

It also makes it nearly impossible for independent researchers to uncover bot networks and AstroTurfing, just in time for fully automated AI propaganda.

Sounds like you’re a cunt.

Nobody is hiding anything. They’re slurs and dogwhistles. If you really want to know what they are, use your initiative to look them up. Insisting people on social media to explain it to you is not only indistinguishable from sea-lioning but a great way to get manipulated.

I wanted a list I thought I said that? I refuse to pay hence I asked as I want to be better educated on the topic

Nope. You asked “So what’s the definition of white nationalist vocabulary?” and then when that was answered, you moved the goal posts.

Here is u lumping all republicans together with the people u call extremists Nazis, antivaxxers, and antisemites

Nope, there is me explaining that the far-right no longer give themselves labels like “alt-right” and instead insist they’re regular Repiblicans so that apologists like you can claim “you just call all Republicans Nazis”.

You’ve tried really hard to strip that context out of your quote but since you knew cutting the sentence off half way through would be too obvious, there’s still enough context there to show you’re lying. It’s right there in the “so they can hide behind moderates” part – who are the “moderates” if I’m calling all Republicans Nazis?

The right is riddled with far right extremists same as the left is riddled with far left extremists

Not even remotely close. I know you’ve been trained to bleat “both sides” on command but this isn’t going to fool anyone outside your little bubble of people who will believe anything as long as it’s right wing.

But sure, let’s play. Who are the Democrat versions of Matt Gaetz or MTG, both of whom are seeing to control what people learn by attacking teachers and banning books? Who is the Democrat version of Paul Gosar, who has shared videos depicting violence against their political rivals? Who are the Democrats promoting conspiracy theories to undermine elections, like Boebert and Trump?

Lot of similarities here.

Not nearly as many differences. Bullshit comparisons like this are trivial to make and I could link Hitler to 100 Republicans in 1000 ways using surface level shit that everyone does, even without lying.

Hitler isn’t known as one of the most vile people to ever live because he made generalisations about a group of people, it’s because he was a political leader who arranged to systemically murder millions of innocent people.

So its antisemitic when the right does it but acceptable to literally call for the destruction of their nation if the left does it (from the river to the sea etc)?

I genuinely can’t even figure out what your point is supposed to be here.

That’s two mentions of my family not speaking to me. I’m not sure what kind of a psychopathic family refused to talk to someone because of political ideology but Me thinks you doth protest to much.

Nope, I just keep tabs on what extremists are up to and it’s common to see both “how do I redpill my friends and family?” and “my family doesn’t speak to me any more”.

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’re unrelated and your family are good people that know your true opinions.

Too be fair I too was looking for something of a list. Of the few words mentionned in the comments, I only knew about cuck and I thought it was a fetish thing.

I’m not too sure why people on here tend to exaggerate the slightest of things. One can simply be curious, you know.

Just because you can’t spot the bullshit doesn’t mean it’s not there. By your own admission you didn’t know any of the dogwhistles nor the extra layer of gross in their love of calling everyone “cucks”.

You fell for their plausible deniability but many of us have seen these tricks 1000 times now. We’re not exaggerating, we’re experienced.

And I don’t know why everyone is defending the paywall. I thought lemmy was leftist and leftists were agaisnt this kind of thing. Especially since most papers, if not all, are partially or fully funded by taxpayer money.

I’m not defending the paywall. If someone wants to undermine the content of the paper, they can start by reading it, not crowd-sourcing excuses.

What a shock, you didn’t want an answer, you wanted the foundation of apologist talking points to bail out your friends.

Wow that’s a lot of text with a lot of opinion I don’t really care for. I was more looking for a list but all I got was cuck, zionist, ethnostate, soros, and 1488

Damn, you wanted a list and all you got was a list. If you want something more specific, buy the paper instead of insisting people spoon feed you answers. My money would be on you being perfectly aware what that list contains but hoping nobody wanted to write you out a giant list of racist, sexist and antisemitic slurs.

The rest is ideas and concepts and Dumas’s conspiracy theories not vocaulary.

Yes, as I clearly stated.

Also imo its incredibly nieve to lump anyone who identifies with republican as an alt-right Nazi

Not a thing I did, but if you’re upset that your friends and family are being labeled as scumbags just because they vote, bankroll and repeat the talking points of scumbags, maybe you should direct your tantrum at the alt-right Nazis and the Republicans that tolerate them, if not openly support them.

That is literally the same generalisation group think blame game that Hitler used to blame and prosecute the Jews.

Fuck off with your “the left are the real Nazis”. I’m not shipping people off to death camps, I’m pointing out the undeniable fact that the Republican party is riddled with far-right fuckstains, an idea that apparently hurts your feelings.

They’re not remotely comparable acts on any level and I’m not going to fall for the awkward manipulation tactics you learned on 4chan.

I guess my only other question is why are the Palestinian protesters using at least 2 of these ideas/words?

Rub your two braincells together and see if they spark. Zionism plays an important part in Israeli hostilities towards Gaza. That doesn’t mean far-right conspiracy theories about Jews running the world and needing genociding have any merit.

You’re blatantly just trying to link my opinions to Hitler (hoping people will be dull enough to think “both people bad”) and racist extremists to Palestinians (hoping people will be dull enough to think “both groups good”).

Save the awkward manipulation for whatever members of your family still speak to you.

I don’t think that’s how they’re wired. If anything, they’d be excited to learn they’re a couple of million dollars of AI astroturfing from being able to choose the president.

If you were familiar with far-right extremists before Reddit gave them a comfy little platform, it was painfully obvious.

Sticking to vocabulary only, terms like “cuck” becoming their favourite insult was straight from neo-nazi circles, where it very deliberately meant “race traitor” – someone who would let a black man fuck their wife.

Since it had the most plausible deniability behind it, “cuck” survived about as long as “alt-right” did, before it became obvious to even the dullest of fucks that it was all just neo-nazis.

But scattered around that, you had terms like “Zionists” and “ethnostate” that aren’t inherently Nazi terms but are neo-nazis go-to problem and solution. You had outright dogwhistles like (((Soros))) and 1488. You had preferred slurs for women and minorities that came straight from places that were openly far-right, Holocaust advocates.

You also had various versions of the same old Protocols/Mein Kamph conspiracy theories, custom built for internet reactionaries. Hell, the anti-Hillary frenzy escalated to accused the Democrats of blood libel for fucks sake – one of the oldest antisemitic conspiracy theories there is.

Most of these came and went as they carefully balanced remaining “mask on”. If it became too much of a give away, it was retired and replaced. These days, they know to not even name their movement, because it makes it harder to attack. The “alt-right” is now just “Republicans” so they can hide their extremism behind moderates.

Anyway, fuck the lot of them. Reddit providing a platform for groups like neo-nazis and anti-vaxxers has likely caused more social damage than anything on the internet to date.

Extremists are engagement.

Which is functionally identical to the last one you posted. Are you just doing the same joke in every format you can? Fuck the internet sucks now.

It’s more than they were making from third party apps, hence the ridiculous API fees.

Yes. Inflation is when billionaires think you’ve got a few dollars they haven’t fucked you out of. You have to sneak welfare past them already, so full UBI would be sniffed out by their snouts immediately.

A man that feels he has nothing to lose is a dangerous thing

Especially when they’re a former “responsible gun owner”.

If we actually followed the “your gender identity is mildly inconvenient to me so should be banned” crowd and made everything unambiguously gendered, language would become far more awkward.

“If someone calls and I’m not there, tell him or her that he or she can leave a message”.

We could start doing this right now – every time they he or she uses the word “they”, insist they he or she repeats themselves himself or herself in a way that leaves no gender ambiguity…

It’s also because “the free market will fix it” is neoliberal bullshit that is pushed precisely because it doesn’t work. It’s just a way of blaming consumers for the horrifically immoral actions of corporations and they’ve suckered you right in.

Regulations could immediately stop Nestle using child slaves, no boycotts required.

Of course, neoliberals don’t actually believe in neoliberalism, they profit off it’s failure.

If you give a rich person even more money and it never trickles down, you just gave a rich person money. If you’re claim companies will regulate themselves and they don’t, you just gave companies the freedom to do exploitative, dangerous things in search of bigger profits.

If neoliberalism actually delivered on any of its promises, neoliberals wouldn’t support it.

It’s nothing more than a book of pre-made lies that sound plausible enough for a press conference and signal to other neoliberals that their feeding trough is being filled.

Well, the “not seeing votes” definitely is, on both Lemmy and Reddit. All this does is make that abuse observable.
