Personally would have waited to post vulns for a few months just to let people post things to hang themselves.

If they're that easy to find, somebody else would've found and published them pretty soon anyway.

If defining Fascism is really this important to anyone, go to the library (or just buy a copy online or something) and pick up Fascism: A Very Short Introduction by Kevin Passmore. The book up front -- among other things -- lays out how genuinely difficult and troublesome it is to actually pin down a useful definition of fascism (or capital-F Fascism).

It's genuinely interesting, not long, not expensive, and it is laid out in a way that makes it easy to zero in on the elements that are useful or interesting to the reader, and equally easy to skim or skip the more academic elements that might not be.

Umberto Eco's essay "Ur-Fascism" also goes into this difficulty, and offers a set of signifiers of fascist movements in history that can be useful as sort of like a clinical diagnostic scale: "if you said yes to more than nine of these symptoms..."

Ha, I'd forgotten we had that smilie or I'd have mentioned it. Yeah, it did get over-referenced in D&D (I think?) for a while.

When did conservatives become the de facto anti-vax party? Did COVID finally make that switch permanent? I seem to remember that movement led by the more naturalistic, hippy, Green Party type folk who didn’t want their precious babies to develop autism. Now you have republicans in states like TN questioning all vaccines.

The antivax crowd was always more evenly split politically between the crunchy granola hippie types that they were always portrayed as and the hyper-Christian anti-government types who thought it was a commie plot, but there was a strain of "let's blame stupid moms" in the reporting because people like Jenny McCarthy were always so willing to get on camera talking about it (while the parallel society of the extreme right-wingers used to be more quietly insular) and the news media industry is lazy as hell.

Then Trumpism happened and now everybody says the quiet part loud for fear of getting ousted by someone who says it louder.

Was Dawkins-Style Atheist vs. Crossfitter the first match?

It's literal Nazi Stonetoss, so it was probably "person who doesn't think all black people are inherently violent subhumans" vs "a Jew".

I contemplated it, but i want to leave work early and can't really be arsed

There's an old Cold War era joke, of that grouping of underground political humor that was quietly shared in the Soviet Union among people that you trusted not to report you over it:

Two Ukrainian shepherds are tending their flocks on adjacent hills. One calls over to the other: "Stepan! Stepan! Did you hear? The Russians have gone to space!"

The other takes a moment to answer, but then calls back: "What, all of them?"

"No! Just the one!"

"Then why are you bothering me?"

this was in Worthington, PA



Worthington, PA’s demographics really show why they are concerned about this:

Population est 2019: less than 600 people.

The racial makeup of the borough was 99.10% White, 0.26% African American, 0.13% Asian, 0.13% from other races, and 0.39% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.26% of the population.

It's too early to run through the math but with percentages that are multiples like that you can just tell that there are exactly two African American people, one Asian person, etc.

One wonders at their stories.

I have to admit I have never understood why "We'd never get it past the 60 vote requirement" isn't immediately followed every single time by "but we'll make the fuckers go on the record against it". Even if the Democratic leadership doesn't actually want to accomplish the goal that's on paper, it's ammo for the next election.

shame on an IGA posted:

The establishment in the democratic party desperately does not want to be in power because then they're expected to do things. They run a much less ambitious grift than the republicans, one in which winning elections is actively counterproductive.

I am posting from inside the sausage factory.

I guess it's this, really.
