Why can't you discuss sincerely and directly to the point? Why do you start with: "it's a waste of time", "this is telling", "the ExP3rtz said this.." Stop moving the goal posts - I asked for direct examples, you say why didn't he supported parties in France and Spain. NAZI Germany had total control over the economy. If you are contesting this point, there is nothing for me to discuss further with you. They also had…

You keep pretending you know what you are talking about, and yet, you are strongly downvoted. Your description of the nazi Germany is caricatural, and does not correspond to the reality. Funk was strongly pro-market, and was in disagreement with some of Hitler choices, and yet was not merely executed and was still 100% a nazi, because the reality is not a Disney movie with caricatural villains. I have given direct ex…

My description of NAZI Germany is downplaying the evil, if anything. They had a lot of power even before 1936 but in 1936 they openly seized the economy (completely) to prepare for direct war with the communists. This is called the Four-Year plan. I will re-iterate that they executed people regularly, for being "dissidents" or any kind of political opponents or "communists".

I am only writing this for comedic effect. One day someone will read this, and they will see a person defending NAZI Germany as a country with free markets, and in the same time blaming Elon of being a nazi because he moved the arm. Remarkable, I have to say.

Don't tell me who is expert and who is not an expert. Use your own brain - how can NAZI Germany have any degree of freedom at all and do what they have done? They could have done that only because they had full power and were brutal with any opposition. This is true for the communists, too. It is the same thing. One uses the Aryans and one uses the Proleteriat.

I understand that this post is flagged because it can start flame wars and “not curious conversations”, but I’m curious about what people here from different parts of the world are seeing for these search terms. If censorship is indeed happening either due to manual flags or “AI” algorithms, people need to know what’s happening and if this is just anecdotal or geography specific or could be spreading to other countri…

HN flags and removes lots of this sort of discussion for not aligning with their goals (imho, anecdotally). Censorship is a creeping disease that already has its foot over the winning line.

moderation to keep things on-topic is not the same as censorship. spaces are allowed to, and should, exist for certain topic areas.

This being flagged is interesting in itself.

Not really, it always happens to political posts. They garner too many comments versus upvotes in too short a time (probably because everyone is too outraged to press the upvote button), and it causes a switch to flip somewhere.

Good that China has caught up US in tech, so at least us Europeans can escape the US oligarchical censorship. Not looking great for those left behind the great firewall of Muskerberg. When will PG fall in line?

Yes, you can escape the US oligarchical censorship, and have the European form of it instead. The funny part is that DNS "great firewall" types of censorship and blocks are much more common in Europe, but European nationalists will always say that it's somehow different when they do it.

you can write it as long as you want. Funk WAS a free market proponent and WAS nazi. That's a fact. If you cannot understand that, it's not my fault.

The rest of your "analysis" seems to be written by a 12 year old kid.

Pretending that when we bring the proof, with clear example, that free market proponent can be nazi, it means that we pretend that all policies from a specific nazi government were free market is just very very stupid.

As for the ridiculous rest, just look at Pinochet. He is NOT a nazi (not because he was pro-free-market, just in case you are too stupid to not notice), but he demonstrates that your logic of "if it's a free market, it's impossible to persecute the political opponent". The Pinochet regime was recognized as as-free-market-as-it-can-be by the ones of Thatcher, Friedman and the Chicago Boys, and at the same time, it was a bloodthirsty dictatorship that persecuted people who did not align with the party, organising murders and tortures, to the point of having a squad nick-named the "caravan of death". So, yeah, your argument is just uneducated.

Don’t support meta. Don’t use their products. This has been obvious for so long. Just delete your accounts and move elsewhere.

Yup. Anyone who still maintains an account on any Meta product (including WhatsApp) is giving this shit their full-throated support in the only way Zuck cares about. And that says nothing about the kinds of horrible people still working there.
