i'm sure this will astound you but -- the people who died fighting in ww2 died for a vision of the world which is powerfully at odds with yours.

the mass casualties on the soviets: presumably these aren't your bedfellows and you have no great affinity for stalin's people.

the western dead didn't die so that lickspittle eugenicist fascist panty-wetting boys like yourself could spend a lifetime being a cuck on web forums.

Most people who fought in WW2 did so because their countries were attacked and their way of life or their actual lives were under threat, not for some hipster dream.

I mean, why don't the Ukrainians just give up and stay alive?
Why is no-one else actually fighting?

'their way of life' -> ehm, yes, which would be ... ? presumably life not under a totalitarian, fascist, white supremacist regime, eh?

i mean, it's not as if any number of countries which were amenable to this vision didn't become outright allies of nazism or else surrender and collaborate.

you've only read history from one 6 year period of human history and you're a bit hazy on the details even for that.

Various countries saw advantage in allying with the Germans. Its not as if the Japanese saw Germans as superior humans or vice versa.
Germany wanted an empire, Japan wanted an empire, the proles were led along with miscellaneous mumbo-jumbo just as they were led into Brexit.

erm, the japanese did see germans as superior, among their peers at least, there was all sorts of cod-scientific bullshit invented on both sides to justify their allegiance.

ask a japanese person or east asian person today what they think of germans and it will still be inflected with shades of some vestigial racial deference. you'd be surprised. it's perfectly possible for a worldview to hold contradictory or paradoxical opinions, most people's ethics and outlook are this way. you can be be convinced your own culture is the best but also still defer to another culture in other contexts. same thing happens with koreans and american culture; or even french/german/UK and american culture, really, through most of the post-ww2 period in which we were indebted to them economically and being pumped full of their popular culture.

was it all mumbo jumbo? yes, of course. so why do you still recycle nonsense racial hierarchies here today. none of it stands up.

all this is by-the-by: the point is that many societies did mobilise to reject the form of government and that brand of politics. you invoking 'the great world war 2 dead' when you are incredibly crypto-fascist in so many of your opinions is just sad, really. shows how far things have slid that you think nothing of being a slimy anti-semite. i don't think your heroes in the british army in ww2 would have agreed with you, least of all the ones who liberated the camps.

Later in the war, Mills-Roberts took part in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp's liberation. When Luftwaffe field marshal Erhard Milch was captured and surrendered his command baton to Mills-Roberts, the latter vented his anger about the atrocities he had seen at Bergen-Belsen, marching Milch around the camp and demanding to know his thoughts on the terrible sights witnessed. Milch's reply (who spoke English) was along the lines of "these people are not human beings in the same way as you and I!" This infuriated Mills-Roberts, who took Milch's field marshal's baton from under Milch's arm, and then proceeded to brutally strike it over Milch's head until it broke and then repeatedly beat Milch with a champagne bottle. Mills-Roberts went to Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery the following day to apologise for losing his temper with a senior German officer and Montgomery put his hands over his head in mock protection jokingly saying "I hear you've got a thing about Field Marshals", and nothing more was said. This incident left Milch with several contusions and a fractured skull.
i think you could do with a baton over the head tqbh.

so is the holocaust bad or are jews evil? is hitler a bad man? because he was a failed artist? why do you keep quoting him as a very bad figure but then spouting sub-nazi politics in just about every other area of your life?

you seem very confused. the people who fought in ww2 against ‘bad guy artist hitler’ believed in freedom and democracy. you seem very illiberal, to put it lightly.

You know this year was special due to AI? AI generated images have gotten so good in a short amount of time.

The picture on the left is an older version of Midjourney. The image on the right is the newest version.

musk’s starlink satellites are blocking the view of the night sky. ‘streaking’ artefacts are a huge problem for ground-based telescopes.

why does it matter? it impinges on our ability to spot near-earth objects and incoming asteroids. literally smudging our vision so that people can watch pornhub in the outback.

https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com … 24GL109280

another recent paper that points to a huge potential problem with this unregulated space dominated by billionaires and their toys.

starlink satellites are raining out of orbit at a rate of 120 per month, and each one produces 30 kilograms of aluminum oxide which eats away at the ozone layer. these oxides have increased 8 fold in the atmosphere since 2016.

thank you tony stark! only the private sector can provide public goods!

A Scanning Error Created a Fake Science Term—Now AI Won’t Let It Die
A digital investigation reveals how AI can latch on to technical terminology, despite it being complete nonsense.

AI trawling the internet’s vast repository of journal articles has reproduced an error that’s made its way into dozens of research papers—and now a team of researchers has found the source of the issue.

It’s the question on the tip of everyone’s tongues: What the hell is “vegetative electron microscopy”? As it turns out, the term is nonsensical.

It sounds technical—maybe even credible—but it’s complete nonsense. And yet, it’s turning up in scientific papers, AI responses, and even peer-reviewed journals. So… how did this phantom phrase become part of our collective knowledge?

As painstakingly reported by Retraction Watch in February, the term may have been pulled from parallel columns of text in a 1959 paper on bacterial cell walls. The AI seemed to have jumped the columns, reading two unrelated lines of text as one contiguous sentence, according to one investigator.

The farkakte text is a textbook case of what researchers call a digital fossil: An error that gets preserved in the layers of AI training data and pops up unexpectedly in future outputs. The digital fossils are “nearly impossible to remove from our knowledge repositories,” according to a team of AI researchers who traced the curious case of “vegetative electron microscopy,” as noted in The Conversation.

if you think that's bad, a bit of disingenuously pruned data in an excel spreadsheet gave us 15 years of austerity, leading indirectly to the deaths of 100,000s of people in need.

Well in theory its OK, in practice a lot of the sharemarket is a ponzi scheme - the US market is nothing else.
Now the objective for most 'entrepreneurs' is to come up with something just convincing enough to achieve an IPO then GTFO and let the peons watch their money walk away.

Now its all looking shit - rugpull in 5, 4, 3 ...

The fertility rate in the U.S. dropped to an all-time low in 2024 with fewer than 1.6 children being born per woman, federal data released Thursday shows.

The U.S. was once among only a few developed countries with a rate that ensured each generation had enough children to replace itself — about 2.1 kids per woman. But it has been sliding in America for close to two decades as more women are waiting longer to have children or never taking that step at all.
A dying civilization. Stephen Miller was quoted saying he they want to shrink the U.S. population to 100,000,000 people.

dilbert has spent 15 years reheating malthus in the microwave, telling us humanity’s exponential increase will stripmine the planet and turn civilisation into a mad max battle royale.

in about 2 years the cultural right have done a complete screeching u-turn and now the problem is humanity is suffering a fertility crisis. the sperm can’t swim anymore. there are microplastics in our balls. humans are in a great spiritual malaise. even the chinese are going to collapse. etc. etc.

coincidence that the countries which culturally went the most all-in on creating cram-school cadres of engineers and technologists (south korea, japan, the US) focused exclusively on going ‘beast mode’ or ‘locking in’ as ‘founders’ are now all facing joyless existences without children? make u think.

we need a rearguard action of trad-cath peasants with their literate, god-fearing patrician fathers sat at table. no fertility crisis in the great centuries of the humanities kids. people feared god, read their classics, and sowed their seed and fructified the earth.

we had 20 years of post-dawkins atheistic screeching from childless cat-erotomaniacs like dilbert. the bottom 40% of the population were forcefully ejected from their edens and amish enclaves. now they’re all free-floating in a world of low trust, conspiratorial slop, voting for strongmen or moving to SF/NYC to date 3000 people according to an algorithm without ever settling down. when really what the average normie needs is religion, or at least a humanistic-secular alternative that provides a spiritual narrative. the technocrats have proposed a purely materialistic, competitive, anti-social future: anti-life.

sad!

No, white humanity is facing a fertility crisis, vastly outweighed by brown fertility.

And its only a crisis in the context of exponential capitalist growth.
Otherwise its fine.

considering africa will bear the brunt of 'white humanity's climate emissions, i'd suggest there's some very hard constraints on how high their population numbers can go w/r/t food, potable water, temperatures that won't kill you, etc.

years ago, i remember saying that church was a place people could meet each other in, perhaps future couples. it was met with indignated expulsions of air and denial.

i still hold that opinion. doesn't mean the resultant relationships are destined for particular longevity, and the social pressure from nosy others isn't creepy (when is it). i'll amend that here to church can be a great place for some future couple to meet. case-by-case basis. i am not a church person, so awareness that this could be "was" and not "is." also disclaimer that yes, hateful jesus maniacs and jesus maniac boosters and leeches wanting to control your life are not a desirable group to have in or near power.

that there is barely a financial incentive to work many jobs is a source of issues that conservatives whining about white extinction seem to shy away from talking about, unless complaining about their own bosses. that and how the land, air, and water are poisoned. gwa? pff! phah! hoax!

i do think, excepting the fundies and moralistic edge-cases, and obviously disregarding the institutional politics and abuses and evils of Organised Religion, etc. that religion in the main is pretty much a good thing for most people. it's not about placarding abortion clinics, for most people it's just a way of structuring daily/weekly life and family and wider society. it's the gospel and basic ethics, not niche old testament precedents for tribal genocides.

but i realise i sound very "good for thee but not for me" when i talk about this stuff. the UK is the most secular country in europe, and the church of england is basically morning prayers at school and weddings and funerals. so it's easy to talk in a very vague and general way about religion being a net plus. still, i maintain that your average Joe was better off just being a church-going religious person than being a facebook drip-fed political pundit.
