I remember listening to Frank Zappa’s Bobby Brown when I was a kid, not knowing English at all. Great song but very inappropriate for kids, which my parents probably thought was funny.

If someone makes threats you have to assume they’re serious and not just wave it away as “unclear”.
I think what he is getting at is that democrats could be more “aggressive” in how to appeals to the working class people. These subtle policies that have marginal benefit don’t have enough perceived impact.
Democrats could promise something simple and with clear benefits to common folks, something that can be easily understood. People want change. I think Bernie was almost getting there when he was running.
MAGA fans have jumped on the bandwagon of “sticking it to the man”, and “draining the swamp”. Which is kind of what Bernie wants to do but sincerely, with a track record to prove it.
Edit: added “perceived “
That’s a pretty dishonest description of Bernie. I don’t dare to say if your statement about unions is true, and it might as well be, but what Bernie is saying here is that it’s not enough. He’s arguing the democrats need to be more progressive. Feel free to disagree with his suggestion though.
I do think that the bigger problem is that the average person lacks the general understanding of how policies affect their lives. They want simple answers and Trump is giving them that. People are shortsighted and have a hard time grasping the bigger picture, and rather vote based on a gut feeling.
Does it do what Perplexity does?
Are you able to find another doctor? Because that doctor seem like a bad doctor.
It wasn’t tens of millions deaths if that’s what you’re implying. An atrocity but always good to stay to the facts.
I’m using 1Password and have been happy using it. Any reason not to use it, aside from not being open source?
Thanks again for the nice response and thanks for the book tip. I’ll see if I can find some time and a copy, and read it.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to write such a well written and thorough response! My ignorance shows, and I’ve definitely gained some knowledge of both the definition and history of fascism.
I admit I’m ignorant on the issue, and you seem to know: what are some examples of socialist organizations being the main force in stopping fascism?
And what about the cases of socialist fascism? Is the only remedy a more socialist organization?
And if not all, at least for the arguably most important day of all in the self declared bastion of democracy.
And the solution is right there in the sentence.
What is that supposed to mean?
I find it kind of funny that your shared link url contain tracking parameters.
Yeah, you argument about pragmatism resonates with me. If all tracking was turned off over night that will break a lot of streams of revenue that many businesses/sites online rely on. Those businesses has grown because it has been possible and profitable to track you every step online. That does not mean that system needs to be preserved, or replaced with something similar. Markets adapt, we don’t have to help this business find new ways to make money.
And also, cross-site tracking is not necessary to do advertising, it just make is more cost efficient. I don’t accept the argument that they need my behavior data to have a working business.
Ads in newspapers have worked historically without the tracking. (Newspapers a hard time now though competing with the more profitable online ad business)
Also cookies have other functions aside from tracking your behavior, while this new feature only benefits ad/product analysis, with no direct benefit to the user of the browser. It’s essentially giving away information about my behavior, albeit without telling them who I am. (Indirectly users might benefit from having more ad-supported services online)
But sure, Mozilla is free to do what they want. I still like and use Firefox.
But why appease advertisers, I don’t see the point? The current ad business only exists because it’s been possible to track people. It does not mean it’s impossible to do advertising without it. It’s not like it’s a right for advertisers to know in detail how their ads are performing.
Why wouldn’t Mozilla just disable all tracking? Why do they see any need to give anything back when minimizing another form of tracking?
But what is their incentive to make this feature to begin with? Who is it really for?
Edit: this is more of rhetorical question I guess. To rephrase it a bit to get closer to my point: who is the browser designed for? For the person using the browser? For the website owner? For advertisers?
While I’m not hating on Mozilla it still warrant a discussion.
The system would be fair if it was both positive and negative tips. Then at least I would consider tipping. It’s a but rude otherwise.
Because the first-past-the-post system makes it very unlikely for more parties to emerge.
