  • Yep, that is how wars of ideas work. You will have to fight generations of reactionaries and debate against those ideas point for point. Before fascism and ultra-nationalism there was the religious “our religion is better than yours”. This fanaticism still fuels religious tensions and wars in Middle East, but the reason why in Europe we have so much fewer of these tensions is due to hundreds of years of fighting both in ideas and in wars and revolts. And you should give them no quarter, because they will gather their strength and adepts and will push these ideas again. Education is the best prevention against this cancer


  • Fascism defeat still omitted Spain, they remained like so until Franco’s death in 1975.

    Believe it or not, fascism was not about just the violence and the racial commentary. It is a reactionary and grotesque metamorphosis of the earlier imperialistic, domination and moralistic ideas. Many of the fascists regimes kept their monarchs as figureheads (Italy, Romania, Japan) and Franco post-humously reinstated the monarchy in Spain. And the fascists regimes heavily used forced work camps, even if they used them primarily for extermination. But, if one such regime would have been created 100 years ago, they would surely have traded slaves with the US South. So you can’t destroy the fascism without squashing its parent ideology, the imperialism




  • I’m one of the new users and, being confused (read as “unknowledgeable”) by so many instances to sign up into, I chose .world as it looked like the most generalist and simplest with their policies. It means that, when it’s about the new users, they will need a generalist gateway to get them into the common policy part of the federation. As some servers defederalize and users get to know what they like and what servers actually suit them better to their values and policies (like Beehaw with their emphasis on the safe space), they can then create accounts on these isolated servers and go through their checks.

    Now a big suggestion for these cases would be to have some sort of federated import APIs and tools for people that want to use the same login data for the defederated servers as in the federated ones (individual federation). Example: I already have a lemmy.world account, but I want to make myself an account for the defederated Beehaw with the same login data. This way I would be able to federate-import the account from lemmy.world and then to go to their checks right away
