What is up with three recent useless censoring of normal words?
Who the fuck thinks, that 'Nazi" needs to be censored?
Well, as a word. The people themselves are a different topic…The generation after millennials have been taught to prolifically self-censor by social media platforms.
They can’t even just say someone died. It’s absurd. Death is a fact of life, one of only two truly universal experiences, and they can’t even mention it without using clunky stupid sounding euphemisms.
Well, i agree it is dumb but they might have the last laugh if AI is used to skim people’s social media and target people for certain posts…
Does the last laugh mean, staying on those shitty platforms that are now (in your scenario) also using AI against them?
I don’t think that’s a good outcome. They’re platforms you want to be disconnected and pushed out of.
Staying on them isn’t a win in my books.
Possibly, but the AI can simply be taught to include nonsense terms like “unalive”, “un@live”, etc in their search. And once they identify a target, heavy skim their words choices to further refine their filters, algorithms. Rinse & repeat.

The social media platforms that it was posted to before Lemmy
*shitty social media platforms
That’s implied
They’re not all shitty.
true. but when does anyone ever show a mastodon or pixelfed post here?
But I was referring to ones that require text censorship of the word. In other words shitty ones.
people like themselves some updoots and likearoonies so they can’t risk the post upsetting the almighty algorithm!
Repiblicans have absolutely weaponized decorum. Watching them smugly talk down to Dems while being offended over the slightest thing is grade school bully tactics and of course all the people who cheered the bullies on have grown up and vote for those same bullies.
Everybody knows WWI started because of Archduke Ferdinand using the wrong pronouns.
The only non violent thing that puts those kinds of people in their place is to be humiliated somehow. But you have to remember, the things they feel are extremely embarrassing are different than what regular people find embarrassing.
Things that make them seem weak, insecure, vulnerable, etc are what you have to highlight. Having extramarital affairs? Avoiding taxes? Manipulating share prices? Nah, they feel strong when they do those. Their followers see them as a strongman who does what he wants. But this guy is actually 5’2"? This guy shit himself in public? This guy threw a terrible opening pitch at a baseball game? That’s what makes their followers lose interest. You have to consider what would make their followers think of the strongman as a weak loser.
And that’s why they come after the media, and starve artists. One of their biggest weaknesses is satire
Sic semper tyrannis. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
counterpoint: nazis drowning in their own piss
The part where the centrists and left were unified and formed a government in the Weimar Republic. The part where that happened three times consecutively and they didn’t alienate enough people and lost to the Nazi party on the fourth signalling the end of said Weimar Republic.
The part where we didn’t splinter into factions.
That part.
Politeness and Manners could have honestly averted the entirety of Nazi Germany if people just voted for or with the social democrats, the SPD, who were the only party to vote against the Enabling Act of 1933.
And clearly we’ve all learned fuck all as far as these lessons go.
Spains transition from dictatorship to democracy in the 70s would be an example.
That was certainly not down to politeness.
We actually need to fight “fire” with napalm bombs and flamethrowers. Also a one time recording of the Geneva convention rules.
But most of all, we need to stop giving mercy. Did this Nazi blink today? Death. Did they have a thought happen to them? Death. Did they exist in a non dead state? Death. The only punishment they need.
It’s Nazi genocide time boys. Any help given to them is meet with immediate sharing of the punishment. There can be nothing less in a world with a future.
Take care you don’t stare too long into that abyss, friend.
