> ok we are on the same side
It's fine if we're not, just it'd be better to avoid implying gullibility.
> i will be keeping a very close eye on the un from now on, thanks. it is never made clear that the imf is a un entity even in the alternative media outlets, i think its because they have member states that differ from the un itself.
Yeah: everywhere that the UN is funded by taxes, the UN has a sterling public image. Every sacred cow has the prion disease, no exceptions.
> i'm not against gay and trans
Neither am I; a person's body is their own.
> if they are not physically hurting themselves or others then let them be.
I don't think "perceived harm" is the best guideline, but that's a long thing.
> 80 million unwanted births is criminal.
I don't know; I don't know what constitutes an "unwanted birth" but these things, people try to solve all at once: eighty million weird fuckin' situations and those situations had people that worried about them full-time and there is not a solution that you can just deliver.
> btw, the UN website is served by amazon, microsoft, akamai so thats a strike against them imv. you cant be MITM by corpofash and not have the corpofash benefit, so....
Well, I don't think they are fascist, but they're terrible at any rate; but the U.N. is not accidentally providing some benefit to Microsoft. The U.N. exists for organizations like Microsoft: https://www.wipo.int/en/web/respect-for-ip
> i do remember them pumping MMT a sh!tload.
Yeah, you wanna hear some conspiracy theories, I have some fuckin' conspiracy theories. Here's one: the Family Jewels leak by Ford was retaliation for the CIA screwing Nixon, and Nixon was screwed in order to keep him from reversing the suspension of Bretton Woods.
> i think the dfficulty will be forming bodies that are able to act as a countervailing force to these big institutions.
River makes a canyon; you don't make a canyon by making a competing plateau. I think Che's book is more important than it gets credit.
> don't try to correlate people to nazi's because they also don't like wikipedia,
Oh, don't be facile, it's not "don't like Wikipedia", *I* don't like Wikipedia, *nobody* likes Wikipedia, but every time I say "For more on that point (that is, so that you can go read yourself) here's the Wikipedia page, and it functions as either a starting point or at least a baseline for quality, a proof that someone has written about it enough to get a Wikipedia page." to a certain type of person, that type of person immediately discards the point and starts bitching about Wikipedia. I don't like the U.N., but I have cited the UDHR on the FSE blog (not as an authority to lean on, but as an example of how one might articulate the principle of freedom of speech); I don't think I need to like Wikipedia to cite it, and I don't think I should have to explain this every time I use the modern equivalent of "To find out more, visit your local library." I'm not a communist, I hate communism, but I liked Che's book.
Just that I have seen that, and that I have observed its use by one group, and that group invariably uses it for one purpose; I cannot avoid associating it. If someone starts doing a blitzkrieg or whatever, it's a tactic that was used by a specific group, it'll invite comparisons to that group. So that "Hitler liked healthcare", not comparable: it's not a parallel to a distinctive feature, it's just a similarity. If we were to point out, say, the German reliance on Russian fuel and their willingness to declare war regardless, that would be a parallel to a distinctive situation.
> really though we know that wars are terribly muddy things and so i always try to look for the source, how it manifested and in the case of fascist rise of germany it was PREDOMINANTLY investment from the US and UK,
In order to believe that they were trying to put a Hitler in Germany, you'd have to think they planned the war to begin with. It's a really obvious contradiction. I don't want to do WW2.
> ESPECIALLY over i2p. are you an i2p enthusiast urself?
Fedilist supports Tor-only instances but does not support i2p-only instances yet. I don't have much to say about i2p: it was difficult to find a client that was not written in Java, and I am not building out any infrastructure on top of Java. If you have any curiosity about how I feel about the network's structure in general, I describe Revolver as kademlia plus venti nearly every time someone asks. I'd rather continue working on that than argue about what constitutes a Hitler, because you cannot have a Hitler or a Stalin without censorship (it appears the White House believes that you can't even have a Biden without censorship) and so the question is moot if anti-censorship tools proliferate.
