yeah and it does harm. Any technology amputated a part of us. The point is deciding if it's worth the cost.

if you want to know more about TWC: https://techworkerscoalition.org/

No, it's global. There are two timeslots to better accommodate the broadest possible crowd. TWC is mostly active in the USA and Europe atm, because the Indian chapter basically merged with the local IT union and stopped operating as TWC.

The event is organized by the TWC Global chapter, which is the "digital" chapter that supports the local chapters throughout the world.

The best time to join a union was 10 years ago. The second best moment is now.

Fascism is coming to your country, and nobody is coming to save you. Today fascism looks like a dorky asshole in a t-shirt with a company logo. Do you really want to live with the regret of having done nothing while a tech bro dismantled your country?

If you work in tech, join Tech Workers Coalition. TWC 101 event is the best way to come on board. No skills or previous experience expected. TWC is by workers and for workers: if you work, you're already one of us.

Option A will take place at 18:00 CEST / 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT, and you can register at bit.ly/twc101-feb2025A.

Option B will take place at 5:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM ET, and you can register at bit.ly/twc101-feb2025B.

It's hand-written and it's a famous blog about techno-magic. Also it's very explicitly against new age, that's the whole point of the article.

Look, I'm Italian, I live in Germany and the resurgence of nazi-fascism in these two countries is not due exclusively to the fact they didn't purge nazi and fascist supporters back then, but it's still a very big factor. They never went away, they just went into hide, learn to disguise themselves and came back as soon as the conditions were good. People who were raised fascist in their families and inherited their money, values and goals. There's a line connecting them and it's clear now we would all be better off if after the liberation, the Americans or the Soviets went on to purge entirely those structures of power, instead of trying to integrate them in a democratic society.

I don't think the State of Judea can be ever reintegrated into Israel, let alone in a democracy. They are past any chance for rehabilitation, being in a self-destructive genocidal frenzy that even Netanyahu probably won't be able to stop.

because a media outlet goes where there are viewers. They write to be read, so there's little benefit in going on platforms where there's nobody.

[–] chobeat@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

They have fascists in power and they still care about language. Also missing the whole context since they clearly didn't read the article.

[–] chobeat@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

well, it's full of nazi furries

[–] chobeat@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

yes. That's how Mussolini and Hitler got into power.

What's happening is wildly inconstitutional and violent in nature. It's just not military violence for a military coup. Not all coups involve the military, that, if anything, here might be a stabilizing force.

After the USAID thing I called it this morning: Before the end of march the U.S. is a dictatorship in all but name.

You're optimistic. Yarvinists are openly advocating for dictatorship.

USAID was a probing attack, gauge the reactions, develop plans, figure out how to do it better with the next department. You don’t start with Homeland Security, the CIA, or the FBI - that’s the final part.

Well, debatable. Purging the secret services first is always a great idea when you're doing a coup.
