Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I live in the UK and I'm a marxist so I suppose it counts.

Does anyone know of any cases since turn of the 20th century (so after 1900) where centrists/liberals/moderates have actually fought against the far-right, excluding WW2? Whenever I hear about the far right committing atrocities in the past it always seems to be socialists or anarchists or the left who are out there defending people, or working against whatever structures of power are involved in facilitating violence and oppression.

It could possibly be done...
-The Tories would need to force everyone to go onto a rationed primary-source vegan diet.
-They would need to bulldoze all protected areas and convert into arable land
-They would need to intensify our agriculture with massive amounts of input almost certainly leading to dead rivers everywhere (reducing drinking water) and completely destroying our soils

A small price to pay for are freedoms

Our office is open planned, has a lot of windows both outside and 'inside' to the inner corridors and such.
So a guy who thought no one was watching decided to load up porn and started trouser twitching.
It was dark outside, so the windows reflected his screen back onto the rest of the floor.
Manager saw the reflection, tapped him on the shoulder, and just said 'Just go home'.

Fosters is a sick joke being played by Australia on the rest of the world and I'd assumed that it was produced by drunken Aussies taking it in turns to just piss into a huge vat that is then watered down further and exported, but at least it isn't XXXX.

lol remember when Corbyn caught poo poo when he said that observant Jews in areas without kosher butchers should go vegetarian, when that's been the Orthodox rabbinical advice when in a strange town for about the past 2,000 years.

Yeah but only penis having men and women can do that. Women or men who are not penis-having wouldn't be able to, unless they had some alternative organ, like a prosthetic or a Casio.

Shortly before I started working where I am now, a production manager had been caught red-handed in his office after the MD showed up unannounced to ask why he'd put in so much overtime recently. Yeah, he wasn't producing anything the company was meant to be selling.

A couple of months later he followed up by trying to sue for wrongful dismissal. One of my very first jobs as IT Manager was to compile a month's worth of Internet history for the guy, which contained a genuinely impressive volume of porn. He must have had some stamina.

After several hundred pages of printed web traffic logs were shipped to our solicitor, the case was quietly dropped.

Revolt against Milosevic in Belgrade in 2000 comes to mind. Typically, though, after the 19th.C, liberals are the status quo that radicals (including fascists) are agitating against. Peaceful transfers of power such as in Taiwan and S Korea, or South Africa, represent liberal regimes successfully replacing fascist or ultra-authoritarian ones.

A number of the revolts against repressive but nominally “left wing” regimes in the wake of the collapse of the USSR were driven by liberals. Those didn’t turn out so well.

As a very very general and imprecise rule of thumb, it seems like:
Fascist / right-authoritarian states decay into liberal ones if rich, socialist ones if poor
Socialist states decay into left-authoritarian ones
Left-authoritarian states decay into liberal ones or fascist ones
Liberal states decay into fascist ones

“Decay” here just means “turn into when they end”, and could be a coup, a revolution, a peaceful transfer of power or whatever

Vertical farming is my stupid dumb tech dream that I know will never happen due to the energy requirements, usage of water and waste, yet I love it because of the farming megacorp from Netrunner that was about doing copyright strikes on entire crops and sending goons to literally pull up fields. The card image of this massive silver tower with hints of green through the windows lodged in my brain somehow.

You could probably do vertical farming if you had masses of affordable energy from nuclear or whatever, and use aquaponics to manage the water and waste, water being topped up by nuclear fired desalination.

If you're making that much cheap energy though you could just turn it directly into protein.

Future stuff is cooler and yet more boring.

You'd think somewhere like Iceland would be all over it. Super cheap electricity from basically entirely renewable sources, all the water you could ever want, and a blasted hellscape of a country where nothing grows leading to insanely high food prices because everything is imported.
