There is no "fascism" in 21st century because there are no fascist movements or parties. The term "fascism" doesn't mean much, it is just a word used by certains movements back in the past to self describe. Therefore if a party or movement doesn't self describe as fascist then it isn't. Every attempt to define it becomes way too broad and could be easily applied to almost every country in the world.

The term is recently became heavily recycled by left wing activists to label everything they disagree with (and sometimes even used by more radical lefties aka tankies to label less radical ones).

Their sales says otherwise though. They are down almost everywhere.

Is HN really a place to criticize administration?

As for tariffs, SmarterEveryDay has proven that we need them with his smart grill scrubber that got destroyed by cheap Chinese copycats the moment it became popular.

I'm working on a smart air quality monitor, I don't want competition with the Chinese either.

Peertube? It is such a great piece of software and I use it locally to host family videos and things I want to save from youtube.

I feel like it lacks traction due to how convenient and popular youtube is...but at the same time with more and more ad and the war on ad blockers things can change.

Political propaganda on HN?

Comparing contemporary politicians or policies directly to Hitler/Nazism is an emotionally powerful move, but the article uses it inconsistently and without clear criteria. At times the author admits differences (no expansionism, different social base), then asserts equivalence (e.g., linking Trump/Netanyahu to Hitler). Without explicit criteria for what counts as “Nazism” (ideology, methods, goals, scale), these comparisons become rhetorical hyperbole rather than an analytical tool.

Burning fossil fuels is relatively simple and well understood by general public. Modern business strategies to squeeze every cent out of a customer that involves subscriptions, planned obsolescence, adding bizarre complexity for marginal gains are not helping. Buying a very expensive black box with questionable reliability, possible dependency on a manufacturer provided internet services (APIs for updating etc), questionable availability of parts and probably not really fixable by yourself or your local shop with rednecks with wrenches is not very appealing when you are living paycheck to paycheck.

But why do you need a car in Singapore? I can't take my kid to school or buy groceries without a car here, it is a basic necessity and I hate it. But you have amazing transit and high density.

You are complaining a lot about LLM-generated fraud, underqualified people, overqualified people, yet continue to repost this position despite admitting there is a huge pool of real candidates (like me) already. You are just mining data and wasting everyone's time.

I'm not going to email you, you already have my CV and my phone number. If you are interested you can call me.
