I was just being a little shit. I love a lot of the movies they produce, but they are very focused on aesthetics

A so called “tone piece” yeah, that’s a good point.

A24 movies have story? I just watch them for the haunting still life pans, dark synth, and general vibe.

Yeah it’s got that uncanny sheen.

OK so you get my point and I get yours, so where are we disagreeing? I don’t think stormfront is anything but a glib jab at mainstream liberal norms for enabling fascism/Nazism. I really don’t think it’s a bad thing to point out.

If the relationship between liberals and Nazis (NOT saying they’re even remotely equivalent) isn’t clear to you, then i don’t know what to say.

Not trying to be glib. Maybe I’m just too deep into the socialist literature to relate to regular people anymore.

Eh. Nazi bar analogy. You tolerate Nazis, then it’s a Nazi joint. I’m not going to say there isn’t a gradient, but I see the ideological connection even if I don’t necessarily agree with it.

I don’t actually know that much about the administrations of the various instances beyond what you see on all/hot.

I agree the term goes too far. I just see the connection. Most liberals are well meaning patsies, but they have a line.

No but liberals, esp centrists, have a much higher tolerance for fascist ideology, esp cryptofascism.

It’s like when people just don’t perceive how awful racist dogwhistles like DEI, globalist, thug, etc.

But that’s me! I guess world is p heavy with the liberal apologia, so I can see it.

It’s OK my friend, just catch the next one. You can probably make it to the next bus stop even, that’s what I like to do.

Yeah just take the bus

Maybe the term is being taken over by eco-fascists, but I’ve considered myself an anti-natalist for many years and I’m only playfully misanthropic.

I don’t go in for the Malthusian claptrap. I just think it’s more ethical to adopt an existing, actual real child rather than make a brand new one. I think this is a really really compelling point, and I wish more parents would seriously consider it before choosing to follow their biological imperative.

It’s like with nihilism, where everyone agrees life is ultimately meaningless, but some people are real babies about it (pun intended).

He did some damage for sure, but thankfully I don’t believe anyone was seriously injured.

Just look around and join whichever looks interesting. It’s not a contract, either - you can change your mind whenever you want.

This (slrpnk.net) is my third instance.

I’d agree except it’s the biggest one, so fair game imo.

It’s like Hamiltonians taking swipes at Toronto.

It’s funny because even of the people I know, it’s actually like “lemmy=what?” Even of the people I’ve talked to about it.

They’re so painfully disinterested, they usually tune out after the first five words of my fediverse elevator pitch.

Also even if the cops shut down world, people will just … move. Like yours and my instances don’t even have the word “lemmy” in the domain. I don’t think anyone would care beyond “we shut down that radical forum.”

Though most likely is it goes completely unnoticed and some bombing or shooting or human rights abuse next week will shoves it down the memory hole for good.

I do think it would be better if people spread out a bit more though. I don’t believe it’s healthy for our communities to have any instance approaching “default” startus.

Who calls it that? ?
