As time passed, and History got devalued as a subject in favour of technology subjects, I guess it was always inevitable that people would lose awareness of what Fascism is, and why it should not be allowed to return.

You view this entirely from the perspective of sport? It’s not about sport it is about human rights.

After reading this, I looked for Henna Virkkunen on Mastadon, and yes - she joined 2 weeks ago: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@HennaVirkkunen. Has 3.6K followers already.

Yes, he is about as admirable as Epstein’s other friends

This is just defeatism. Not all politicians are corrupt. And even corrupt ones also have to respond to other kinds of pressures, if those are strong enough. Defeatism is what makes democracy die.

Interesting comparison, but how many of the original car companies are still around today? And did those early car companies inflate and manipulate the stock market?- they probably weren’t even publicly traded in the early days.

I think a crash is on its way regardless of how successful AI will be decades into the future

Or at least have some concept of strategic industries where this can’t just happen without the government having looked into the implications. Industries like energy, arms and cloud.

Ek het sopas op hierdie afgekom - dit lyk na 'n opvolger van die Vrye Weekblad, met sommige van die skrywers wat daar geskryf het nou by Binne+Land .

Does a stock exchange still have to be tied to a single physical location in the digital era? Perhaps it can be in both cities

While this is probably true, Obama was also weak at supporting Ukraine when Russia invaded in 2014

I think the aim is that public institutions like the CBC should be supporting open platforms or creating and using their own ones, instead of being dependent on, and promoting a fascist owned US one. Getting it via Flipboard doesn’t help with that. If I was Canadian I’d be angry that my taxpayer or license money promotes X.

What title did you go for?

Don’t count on the police not doing their job here. I think they might well do it, and if they do and evidence of this accusation is found, this asshole’s fall may well continue all the way to prison

They do it so European countries spend more on their own defense and less on Ukraine. They are better at psychology than at fighting

Seriously?
A lot of small communities are small because they are niche or because they are new

I’m not sure how Scaled is determined, but as far as I know, it is made for what you want

What could have caused the spike in interest?

One consequence of Russia invading Ukraine is that Finland and Sweden joined Nato. Finland has a 1,340 km border with Russia, so Putin has not created a “bigger buffer” - he has managed to double Russia’s border with Nato. Also, the countries you label as unfriendly are peaceful countries who are only ‘unfriendly’ to Russia because they worry about Russian imperialist expansion, and Russia’s aggression habit.

It is amazing how the tankies are cuddling up to the fascists in support of Russian imperialism

Yes a tankie propaganda site. You would need to read an evidence based publication to decide if she deserves the prize or not
