I find Trump as repulsive as most people here, but as a German, one thing I want to push back on is focusing only on one man.
Hitler's rise was possible because he was able to exploit the racial hatred and conspiratorial thinking that already existed.
It's MAGA acolytes that see Trump as an extraordinary figure. He was a reality show grifter with a crumbling business; Hitler was an undisciplined drifter with delusions of grandeur.
It's the soil that matters, not just the rotten harvest.

"A society where it is increasingly commonplace to use your phone in a darkened movie theater, because you believe maintaining your personal comfort justifies causing unpleasantness to people around you—a society where people unironically degrade others as "NPCs"—is a society where it is accepted and even encouraged to get yours while everyone else can go get fucked."

Two national polls of Canada’s elections this week had the Liberal Party ahead of the conservatives. This was the first time any poll has shown this since mid-2023.

I guess we find out Monday if Elon has deleted them, this has been the pattern at other orgs that DOGE has deleted.

Hey #fediverse techies! My cable modem-router combo is dying, and I'm looking for a replacement. What do people recommend these days? I heard something about OpenWRT and may be interested, but in general the ability to tinker with my router is not the top priority.
Thank you!

Consider this: Russian state media (TASS) was in the fracking Oval Office to report on the shameful performance by President Trump yesterday. Reuters and the Associated Press were banned. But Russia's main state-sponsored news mouthpiece was fully present.
First off: What a giant security failure. Again, shows that this White House is completely ignoring anything related to security clearances. President Trump on Day 1 in Term II declared the security clearance process was too onerous and that anyone so deputized by the White House counsel could have access to the most secret information there is.

Dear Super-Carrier Advocates:
(do try to remember the lessons we were supposed to have learned at Pearl Harbor in 1941 from focusing too much on battleships in the 1930s)
“Despite being vastly outnumbered at the start of the war, the Ukrainian Navy has inflicted significant losses on Russian forces, using a combination of drone attacks, anti-ship missiles, and naval raids.”

my Dad enlisted in the US Army in February of 1942, landed on the 3rd day at Normandy, was demobilized in 1946, and was involuntarily recalled to active duty in 1949. he was assigned to Germany, and I was born in Ohio as my family was en route.
the founding of the NATO alliance changed the trajectory of my family’s life, and saved Europe from the old pattern of endless war & revenge. today we are witnessing the destruction of NATO by an American President, a possibility I would have scoffed at.

this is yet more evidence of the unfolding destruction of NATO. trust lost cannot be easily regained, and peace in Europe had been based on such webs of trust for 80 years. see also https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/norwegian-fuel-supplier-refuses-u-s-warships-over-ukraine/
