So Austistici/Inventati was recently designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now?

What point is your analogy even trying to make? "If you want to be healthy and still do crack or heroin, you just need to do less crack or heroin"? Dude, you sound batshit. Is this ragebait?

Which while true some people do not have the ability to follow through on.

No, it's not even true. Some people have medical and/or genetic conditions that make losing wait nearly impossible even if they eat absolutely healthy, in moderate amounts, and exercise regularly. And unless you're a medical doctor I suggest you shut the fuck up and stop being so smug while spreading outright falsehoods as if they were fact.

but I wager the people willing to do heroin or crack are the kind of people most likely to get addicted to it.

No, many of them are the type of people who get a back injury at work and are prescribed too many painkillers (often by doctors who receive financial kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies who manufacture opioids), only to get addicted to these highly physiologically addictive substances, so that when the prescription runs out they experience withdrawal symptoms which are literally torturous to endure unless they can find a fix on the streets, where heroin and fentanyl are easier to come by (and cheaper) than Vicodin or Percocets.

Addiction is super fucked up but it’s not some sort of alien body snatcher that makes you have zero control of your actions.

This whole sentence is fucked, and it just goes to show you have no personal experience in the matter and no clue what you're fucking talking about. And if there's anyone in your life who's struggling with addiction, I feel sincerely sorry for them that (in addition to the living hell they're already going through every single day) they have to deal with you, your judgement, and your dismissiveness.

Robbing people of their willpower is literally what addiction does. It's what addiction is. If a person still has all their willpower intact, then they're not an addict.

And you're basically backseat driving or quarterbacking from the couch by saying "Just don't get addicted! Just do less!" Like, shut the fuck up. You don't understand addiction at all, and nobody who struggles with it every day of their life needs to listen to advice from you who have no clue what it's like to life with.

We are not talking about some abstract antifa, only this single organization.

You argue that Trump is bad, because he is against organizations, that call themselves antifascist.

I wanted to show that calling yourself antifascist doesn't mean that people who are against you are fascist.

I guess it depends on the types of activists you know. I'd give you an invite myself but I think invites are tied to the inviter so I can't really do so without linking my riseup and my lemmy.

She is known for trying to break up monopolies in tech, which is why people were surprised when she was selected by Trump who has tech giant friends. That's what the proton ceo was praising, Gail Slater being picked. She didn't last long, presumably because she indeed tried to break up big tech. He was also saying that the Democrats had done very little when they had the chance, because some Democrats are on the side of big tech. This was the controversy, and soon people called proton fascist and what not, and I don't think it's entirely fair.

Judging by your last statement, I feel like you didn't really read my comment and just cherry-picked parts to comment on. I ultimately agreed with your points in some form, and you...challenge me anyway? You once again say putting everything in one basket is bad as a matter of fact, saying it has an objective downside, and don't even bother to say what that downside is or expand on why.

I'm sure you are not invested in this discussion, but you should at least act in good faith if you are going to engage anyway.

Edit: Also NOWHERE in my post did I say their services were good (not bad). I am now convinced you were acting in bad faith.

They hate us because they are fascists and hate is their core concept. And we've seen how much of a fuck they give when we try to converse with them on equal ground over the last decades. Never forget what Sartre said:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

Discourse with a fascist is useless in the vast majority of cases. What isn't useless is to show the inhumanity, selectivity and selfishness of their language when shown in a public forum. Note how they started acting after Walz started naming these people "weird". They don't cope well with being shown to be what they really are. Chastising them for being inhuman drekheads and naming things as they are is not "cringy", it is an imperative.

By default they list everything. You can contact them and remove stuff, but by default all the smut, trash and bullshit of the web gets indexed. A/I would remove illegal content too, but this wasn't even tried. Don't deflect.

Palantir provides infrastructure, same as the others. They fit well, especially when viewed from the perspective of who you are allowed to provide services to on basis of ideology.

A/I also do not explicitly allow or endorse terroristic content. They provide infrastructure for communication to people, same as any other hoster or mail provider. Only difference is their antifascistic stance and that they have been repeatedly the target of repressive actions.

And no, only the people who attack antifascist infrastructure based on the words of a nazi government - You know, the currrent US administration - are fascists or fascist bootlickers. Need examples?

• Heil Hitlering Musk (just to start off with something graphic)
• Hegseths removal of women and non-white people from positions of power in the armed forces
• Trumps fawning over his "good relations" with every dictator on the planet
• The US voting together with Israel and fucking North Korea in the UN to prevent condemnation of the aggression of Israel in the West Bank
• Ex-Kristi Noems restructuring of ICE and border authorities (forgot their 3-letter-acronym) into the equivalent of the SS, which is being used to stick people with the wrong skin color - sometimes even ignoring citizenship or protected status, while ignoring court orders - into concentration camps before transporting them to autocratic states to dump them into CECOT regardless of being guilty of a crime, and to shoot protesters and PoC
• Vance's endorsement of groups like the AfD, Orban et. al (AfD has been recognized as an extreme-right organization by the authorities in Germany
• The reconstruction of the DOJ to serve and protect the executive and ignoring orange fuhrers pedophilia
• The infiltration of the supreme court by christofascists
• The blackmailing of TV networks which have comedians critical of Trump on air using the FCC, treatening to pull their licence
• The misuse of military assets for PR stunts involving Kid Rock and iBrainworm Kennedy, leading to the dismissal of peopleinvestigating this event
• The abduction of a foreign head of state to enrich Trump and his buddies
• The witchhunt on minorities like somalians in Minnesota, drag queens and trans people nationwide
• The ignorance of the resulting rise in violence and even murders of PoC, minorities and democrats by far-right groups, because it is a positive thing for them - other countries would have started organized action against this amount of far-right terror.
• The designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization (do you realize who is the only group which sees Antifa as terrorists? I´ll let you in on a secret: the only people who perceive antifa as terrorists are fascists)
• The assault on public education at large and the attempt at rewriting history, trying to color slavery as something positive for PoC
• The bullying of every ally the US ever had on the international stage, similar to how Hitler started bullying the countries surrounding Germany in the leadup to WW2
• The threats of invasion, annexation and exposure of long-term allies to enemy aggression

I could go on far longer, but i do not want to waste more time at you. If you are just a brainwashed, lost soul, stop watching the crap Youtube and Meta are throwing in your face, you are too easily influenced to discern the difference between neonazi propaganda and reality. If you are a true believer in that shit, my condolences go to the part of your family that doesn't want to have contact with you anymore (probably your kids and ex-wife), and the rest of what i would put here is intentionally self-censored, but you will probably get the gist.
