Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things.
1·22 days agoI try to listen to SMN once in a while, but I often leave it for when I can watch the video. It needs different editing to truly work as a podcast, there’s a lot of info presented as pictures or graphs and skimmed over by the narration. And you miss all the jokes made by the title card monkey.

It’s a very good analysis of political violence in the US. Cody Showdy generally does great work discussing not just the news, but the olds too. Fair and Balanced™©® and all that.

11·24 days agoAre you getting paid overtime past 8 hours though? Because there’s a big difference between getting double rates for those extra hours (incentivizing your boss to hire a second worker) and demanding everyone work double shifts for normal wages.

41·24 days agoNot directly, but once the law allows for it, employers start demanding it. Individual workers have very little bargaining power to refuse at that point. So before you know it, the 13 hour day is normalized and labor protections have taken a knock back into 1920.

5·28 days agoAtypical is pretty good, it’s a coming-of-age about an autistic teen. It managed to evade the Department of Premature Cancellations for 4 seasons and even reached a satisfying conclusion.
The million-milliard system means a billion has double the zeroes compared to million, trillion has triple the zeroes, etc. In the English system, a quadrillion has 15 zeroes, so 4 times 3 plus 3? A quadrillion should have 4*6=24 zeroes.
The actual Nazis were nothing but hypocrites themselves. Propaganda did a good job of only showing the elite troops, but not every Nazi supporter looked like a buff soldier with a strong jawline. Most of them looked like normal people living normal 1930s lives, bad teeth, malnourished, scarred by measles and what not. They were telling themselves that their Aryan ancestry made them superior despite their obvious flaws, it’s the traditional Nazi coping mechanism.
And keep in mind it wouldn’t make their ideology any more right if they all looked like demigods. The problem isn’t them not conforming to their own ideals, it’s the violent oppression justified by those ideals.
