Nemo,

Is Britain even considered to be “in” Europe? That’s like saying Iceland is in Europe.

Nemo,

I’m not European or from an Atlantic island, so my opinion isn’t worth squat. I’m seeking understanding, not trying to spread my own.

Nemo,

No, I came because of:

  • the removal of essential moderation tools
  • the insertion of ads and promoted content
  • the huge data requirements of the official app

So kind of the opposite of censorship. I came because there’s too much low-quality content.

Nemo,

That it’s anticorporatist.

Nemo,

Liberalism: Human flourishing, the expansion of scientific knowledge, recognition of human rights

Capitalism: More resilient to corruption than planned economies

Conservatism: Prevents backsliding and cultural loss, encourages social stability

Nemo,

I think you should explain what you mean, because I’m lacking the context to infer it on my own.

Nemo,

Thanks for explaining, that’s fucking gross. Would have used a different phrase had I known this was out there.

Nemo,

Sometimes it is, yes. It’s no secret that white supremacists, whatever their stances on political or economic issues, will hide their social views behind the label of conservatism. Thankfully, society has started to move past them, and they can rightfully be decried as regressive.

Nemo,

Okay, having read both articles just now, I have serious critiques.

The first fails to either prove it’s thesis or, somehow, understand the ethos of liberalism. Very good write-up of the rise of fascism and its causes, though. Overall not a bad article but unconvincing.

The second conflates capitalism and liberalism and jumps between one and the other nonsensically, making it essentially all noise.
