So I decided to look up the article, and see what the defense was.

Here’s the article: https://www.mediaite.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Screen-Shot-2019-09-19-at-16.04.33.jpg

And indeed, it does seem to be a Vetements piece he’s wearing. I could not however find the exact outfit, but those are the Georgian designer’s signature, in Georgian letters, which can be compared here:

In looking through some videos from that era, he is wearing multiple articles of clothing from Vetements which tracks. So it’s not a one off piece of clothing he was wearing from that company.

As for the cross, it is a design used in Georgia, including on their traditional flags:

And it is known as a Bolnisi Cross

And can even be found in ancient Georgian architecture, specifically with a circle around it:

It is similar to the German iron cross, except the iron cross always has white or iron bolding, which the Bolnisi Cross does not

He did give multiple apologies for using it tho and as far as I’ve known hasn’t used the word in many years

Well damn I guess all the “Zionists run the world” conspiracy theorists ended up being right eventually with time.

… Better start looking at rich people’s eyes to see if they’re reptilian too…

Totally agree. Just have someone let me know when you’ve done it. Maybe we could set up a chain or something. You start, have someone that knows notify me, and then I notify the next person.

Now go on and start the change you want to see 🌠

Great idea! You first, I’ll totally be right behind

Instead of hacking Bluetooth, sounds more effective to be an “advertising partner”.

Someone on Lemmy Linux pointed out his past in detail, and I agree he was DEFINETLY going through the far right pipeline.

However, he never continued it, never delved into it farther, never pushed that crap further (the dirtiest thing was hosting I think Shapiro for meme review, which while very bad, at least didn’t keep that shit up. Do wish he’d delete the video though), and seems to have changed paths after getting into actual philosophy. He’s never been a politician who’s destroyed people’s lives or a billionaire or called for people to be harmed, either.

If we hold people like him to the same likeness of people like Musk or Shapiro etc, progressiveness will lose the cultural war to fascism. By equating any potential ally into an enemy, you only destroy your cause, and certainly only help fascists far more.

This should be an awareness post on some tech communities

I thought the AI thing was going to be rolled out only in the USA?

Yeah, buying a car, not a Neo Nazi Symbol.

Didn’t know that exists, and that needs more marketing. I literally have a “Daily Wikipedia Article” thing and never came across it. And maybe a different name, like Simplified Wikipedia, because I thought you meant something different.

Problem is they can’t read Wikipedia articles in the first place. A lot of it, in particular anything STEM, is higher level reading.

What you’re advocating for is the same as dropping off a physics textbook at an elementary school.

Same person who saw most American adults have a 6th grade reading level or lower?

Honestly that’s the reason I thought it was a good idea at least. Might actually give them a place to start learning from and improve.

Never expected the place known for nude beaches and a president who married a pedophile to be one that implemented this kind of block.

That there’s this just opposition must mean quite a decent chunk of politicians and wealthier people may have used this service.

I think it’s just ancestry

Could be worse. Could be you’re in the early 90s with only a 56k modem.

This is how I expect China to actually absorb Taiwan.

The only legitimate reason they want it at this point is the chip manufacturies, and those are rigged with self destruct explosives in case of a losing war.

But use propaganda and bribes to get the country to join willingly, and that extremely valuable financial and scientific infrastructure remains safe.
