I am against Germany's fascist policies with Nazism. I am also against the British empire's fascist policies on her colonies. You have to look at my comment in its context that it was under a post that tries to boil down history into "good guys vs bad guys". I think it is a disservice to history to try to paint anything as black and white.

As a result of this type of thinking, you get the absolute failure that was de-colonization and de-Nazification, as the US and other capitalist-aligned leaders were completely fine with having Nazis in power as long as they weren't communist. Britain and France have given hardly any acknowledgment of their wrongdoings in their colonies, let alone even speak of reparations. France still heavily extracts resources and money from her former colonies.

I am not afraid to say it, and am still not afraid to say, that the Allies and Axis were both horrible. The more we excuse the crimes of the Allies because they defeated the Axis, the more the 3rd world will continue to suffer, and the more that White supremacy will continue to spread in the world.

It's the trade off I have chosen now as well, but it is annoying that only people with funds and technical expertise to self host are the ones that can bypass censorship. Freedom of speech, which includes code, should be a fundamental human right belonging to all--not just rich tech bros.

I hope to remove these barriers as much as I can, so I wrote a blog post on setting this up!

Strawman. There are good and bad use-cases of cryptocurrency and cryptography in general just like any other tool. Should we ban Diffie-Hellman as well since it is used by bad actors to send information on illegal and immoral stuff? Let's just ban all of cryptography since it can be used by evil people to hide from authorities.

A specific language does not specify which flavor of God they mean. Do you think that Spanish Christians and Dutch Christians have different flavors of gods because one says Dios and the other says Hot? Arab Christians say Allah, you know. I think you are confusing language with religion.

I did in fact switch to self hosting. Also, how would you define "illegal activities."? The internet is a decentralized, world-wide platform. Which State's jurisdiction would you like to fall under? If that State has laws that you don't agree with?

Why did they translate every word from Arabic to English except for "Allah", which they transliterated?

You could save way more than 1 life with $100M. Malaria nets save on average one life for every $3k donated. Child deworming doesn't save a life per se, but you can stop a child from being permanently disabled for ~$500.

To play devils advocate, no one is forcing you to use AI for the things in life you want to do for fun. AI is a tool used to reduce the need for labor. You can still do your crosswords by hand, but let the machine do the ones you don't want to do.
