    I read somewhere about some secret tooth cherished by some sect that was destroyed by grinding it to dust, mixing with shit and throwing in to the ocean. But guess what? Some fishermen said that he totally found the tooth restored floating on a leaf next to the place where they threw it out. You can’t fight believes with real world methods.





  • Generally folk minimizing are in support of the thing they claim to be in opposition of.

    That’s a really dumb statement. Being realistic is not minimizing. Minimizing is not supporting.

    If I create a post saying “Climate change will kills us all by 2025” and you’ll will disagree you’re minimizing and supporting oil industry? Not agreeing with obviously wrong statements is now bootlicking?

    Basically for you, anything that’s not agreeing with the groupthink is supporting the other side, no matter the arguments. This sort of stupid, reactionary thinking only creates bubbles and turns away potential supporters. It’s like when protesters in US were calling for ‘abolishing police’ and anyone trying to explain it’s unrealistic and de-founding should be the goal was shut down as police supported. Where did it get the protesters? No where. So good luck with your fight. You will also get nowhere.


  • I’m not saying it will be good. It will be worse, just not as bad as you think.

    Missed that part? I’m selling fascism by saying it will be worse? What do you think is it? Reverse psychology?

    nothing will change for vast majority of people.

    A lot of people already live under extreme right wing governments (Russia, India, Venezuela, Iran, Israel… the list goes on), not much will change there. A lot of people live in very stable democracies that also will not get affected by those changes. I believe majority of people will be fine. Is that supporting fascism?

    Would slide to the right be good for business? Probably, corporations like right wing governments. Global economy will not collapse, there will be no world war III. Wow, what a strong statement of support for fascism!

    You saw someone not crying out loud that fascist will kill as all and got triggered, simple.




  • Yep, programming is fun but working as a programmer not so much. For me writing software is a creative activity. It’s fun to come up with problems and find solutions for them. In my personal projects I decide what problem I want to solve, choose the technology I think will be fun to solve it in and then come up with a solution I like.

    At work you are usually handed a problem you don’t care about (we’re decommissioning X, you don’t have to know why, just change everything to use Y), the solution is described in detail by someone else and you just have to turn it into some code using 5-10 years old stack.

    Fortunately at my current job I mostly do projects without much technical oversight (proof-of-concept type project) so I can choose how I want to do then. I dislike the company culture but I know that moving somewhere else would mean going back to boring coding agian.


  • Oh, ok, I see what’s going on here. You see, since you started listing all those other countries I thought you actually are referring to global situation. Now I see you’re only talking about USA, That’s why I said you’re exaggerating. USA is not the whole world. The world will be fine. USA taking more isolationist stance may even be good for everyone else. But thanks for explaining to me, an European, what fascism is. We really don’t know anything about it here. Only Americans understand this phenomenon. Can you also explain to me what democracy and freedom is?






  • Dude, the topic of this post is “2024 is going to be the beginning of the end of us all”. It says “No I’m not catastrophising.”, " I’m going to be crushed" and “The world is slowly lurching towards a fully fascist …”.

    Now you’re trying to say it all just means “hey we should really check out this smoke billowing under the door”. Jesus fucking Christ, you really don’t see it? To prove how wrong I am claiming OP is exaggerating you yourself had to tone down his rhetoric by 90%. If the OP would say “Hey, we should be careful or the extreme right will take over and dismantle some of our rights” I would totally agree. But yeah, keep pretending he was reasonable and I disagreed with his totally rational, toned down arguments.





  • Same way capitalism and globalization is good for business? Right wing parties tend to oppose social policies and promote income inequality which is good for corporations. Again, not saying it will be good for us. Just that we’ve seen couple if shifts to the right like this already. In a decade or two it will shift back to the left. Except in US, there the empire will collapse but is questionable if it will be net negative for the world.
