I think the best foundation to conceptualise it is in the context of the Italian Futurist art movement, which valorized themes of violence, strength, speed, modernism, etc. Basically the "move fast and break things" of the political spectrum.
Since Mussolini (notwithstanding Margherita Sarfatti) was the original architect of the identity, there's definitely also nationalism, and romanticising of the golden era of said nation, as well as investing the national identity with all spiritual authority over and above any religion or individual, and of course corporatism. But once you look at all the historical implementations and interpretations of fascism, the definition starts to fall apart rapidly since they all emphasise or adopt and dispense with additional features (eg. ethnicity, religion, etc) in a rather ad hoc fashion to suit their particular aims.
The artists may not have bought into fascism, but I think fascism bought into the art. $0.02 Mind you, I'm not really a scholar in this area, just stating my arm-chair impression.
This is a bit of a tangent, but I had to watch this in public school and still think it's pretty good. It's a dramatisation of real life events which took place in a highschool in California in the late 60's. I like it because it shows some of the things to look out for when fascism comes along in the absence of a clearly evident swastika on the label.
Apart from the ideological framework of fascism, it's worth also looking at the tactics involved in this kind of nationalist populist movement, even if it risks blurring the line between fascism and other forms of authoritarianism. I don't think something needs to be a historically accurate implementation of "fascism" in order to qualify as a very bad idea. For instance communism and other forms of authoritarian socialism share a lot of the same features and tactics, but like to pretend their shit doesn't stink because they're not "fascists". It just ain't so.
I didn't call him a fascist. I was just citing some authors who did. Personally having looked into the varied definitions of fascism from Mussolini to Hitler to Orwell to Umberto Eco, etc, it seems to have a wide array of meanings depending on which fascist is talking and in what context. Even fascists don't have a coherent definition. It's just a list of bullet points that a given fascist group may or may not cherry pick from in their particular conception of the ideology. As Orwell said in 1944, the word is practically meaningless and has become synonymous with "bully".
Considering that Ukraine's government experienced two different CIA orchestrated coup's and ended up with a decade long ethnic cleansing at the hands of an unelected government run largely by NeoNazis, it's not really far from the truth.
It's interesting how all these places like Georgia, Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk, Transnistria, etc, seem to prefer being part of Russia to living under the influence of US boot lickers.
Klaus' father Eugen Schwab was a Nazi. I personally would say that Schwab is more in the style of Technocratic Oligarchy or something similar. Though each of those systems of authoritarianism share features with each other. Anyway, here's some stuff put forth by others on the subject. Frankly I didn't vote for any of our leaders to kow-tow to the WEF, and yet that seems to be their priority long before anything their electorate actually wants. Not sure if it's "fascism" by whatever definition, but it's enough for me to say "Hell NO!!"
I briefly took a look at the code to figure out if I could easily contribute to developing that, but it didn't seem immediately obvious to me. I'm sadly not proficient with react and related frameworks (I prefer vanilla js), so if I do try to help out it's gonna be a bit of a learning curve on my part. I'm also guessing this stage you'll want to DIY for the most part until the codebase is deemed stable enough. That said if you have grunt work you want to pass off to someone else, feel free to keep me in mind. I have some free time here and there.
Sounds nice. As far as feature requests go, top of my list would be custom themes, or at least a dark mode. CUM is nice, but the brightness hurts my head too much for daily use.
I personally am not super keen on that version of anarchism (revolutionary socialism), but at least it accurately fit the archetype and isn't just the usual shallow pejorative anarchism=chaos trope.
Apart from just liking sci-fi and having a low bar for entertainment, I liked it in particular because "anarchists in space". It's the only TV show I've ever seen that did anarchism properly (whether you agree with that version of anarchism or not).
Now the AI hype train is causing them to be integrated into the backend of almost everything, you can't even tell that's where the information is coming from a lot of the time. As a result you have to have a finely tuned bullshit metre running 24/7/365 from now on.
qwq:32b is supposed to be as good as the deepseek-r1:671b I have it on my system but haven't given it a whirl just yet. You're right though. Most of this shit is just hype and these models are actually dumpster fires when you try to do anything useful with them. Great for people with low IQ and gullible, or those who want to farm out low IQ tasks to software which will get 50% of them completely wrong.
I was told I'm an "honorary brown person" because I was able to eat my former room-mate's food without them having to change the recipe. It wasn't even that spicy by my standards tbqh.
"Canada" didn't vote for him. Registered Liberals did. It was just their party leadership election and had nothing to do with "Canada" apart from the fact that since Turdeau resigned, that made Carney defacto PM until the next federal election happens. Hopefully soon, because these WTO shitlib fuckwits need to be gone asap.
