You're splitting hairs and missing the point, your reading comprehension seems to be wanting and you are condescending as fuck.
If we're suggesting possible future organisations, I'm with you about a global authority, but I want it to be run and maintained by some sort of artificial intelligence. There are currently no humans that I can think of that cannot fall victim to their own desires and become corrupt when faced with power. Just take that worry completely out of the equation. I would like to think at the point that we have that level of AI, that that technology will have already found solutions to a lot of our current global problems.
Until then your proposal is sound!
I disagree, it is very useful to show how the tentacles of it are actually everywhere. It is the mechanism of it that is the bigger problem. The mindset of action disconnected from philosophy is the true battleground, before intent is even part of the conversation. I believe the whitewashing of fascism is a much bigger problem than the efficacy of the term; people understand they don't want fascism in their lives, so if you point out and are able to show how insidious and ever pervasive it is in their own lives, and how they probably have been educated to overlook it; it is very useful. A bunch of scoffing conservatives and their apologists should not dictate the language used.
I mean, you implied your experience being a part of an organisation that literally kills people for money and destroys whole civilisations wasn't a negative one. I feel like you don't see how hostile you actually are just by existing in that state. My words are nothing in comparison.
I'm pretty sure you just wrote down the tenets of conservatism there.
Your comment doesn't even make sense in the context of what OP wrote. They didn't talk about their personal experience at all really. It was more a universal take about awakening to the role of the military in the modern age. I guess, unfortunately for humanity, you are the perfect candidate to wear a uniform.
I also hate the inclusion of the u/spez freakout about employees not wearing reddit colours in public for fear of physical harm. It is a full-on propaganda tactic, in the vein of Elon Musk or Trump's bullshit. It immediately puts shade on the userbase. These "journalists" should get their shit together and either write about how ridiculously stupid he was to say that or just not present it at all, it's barely relevant to the article. For anyone who has actually been following along, the way the article presents that tidbit is inane and completely false at best.
Thanks for the tip. I am enjoying seeing the piped bot providing links on lemmy. Unfortunately the old browser versions that I was able to install (edge and chrome) do not seem to want to load the site, they also give errors saying the site isn't secure, even though it works fine on my phone. I guess I should be glad I even have the option to watch something on a slightly larger screen.
My comment was more about the knee-jerk reaction to new ideas and new ways of looking at things you may think you are already familiar with.
Things can change very fast depending on specific circumstances. I hope you're more wrong than you think.
So in reality they inherently have many fascistic elements that are unavoidable is what you're actually saying. On paper everything looks like roses.
I'm from everywhere, man.
