I'm talking the West that had Mussolini hanged upside down out on the public square once fascism was put to practice. The same west that had Hitler and his peers put a bullet to their heads, once their ideology was implemented.

Yes, these ideologies were invented in the West, doesn't mean we accept them wholeheartedly once they are implemented.

I think you're also in a bubble though.

Which is why I'm talking about people who aren't terminally online degenerates like us.

People who are largely apolitical, like my friends and family, none of them support Russia.

I even went to a few protests in front of the Russian embassy. Would you be surprised to know that there were exactly zero protests in Russia's defense in my country?

I respectfully disagree. Cultural backgrounds also play a role and Russia and China have never known democracy.

Fascism in practice (not as a demented dream) is a harder sell in the West although we're not immune to it and we should 100℅ remain vigilant and fight its grown at all costs.

But then how could they make ungodly amounts of money while looking down on the peasantry?

Probably nothing would happen to you. They might correlate your IP address and ban you, but that's likely it.

I mean, that's probably the worst thing that can happen to your email, lol. Consider how much your online life depends on access to your email.

I kinda get it for people who want to compartmentalise their email.

I personally have 1 email I only use for banks and other important logins, and then a second one that is a bit more general use.

Do you think people are buying it, though?

I've never seen so much cynicism against all things controlled media as I see today.

bought with my own money and has crackling audio due to hardware not software issues. Works fine through an audio interface but the speakers sound like ass.

If its any consolidation my HP Envy, which is a normal consumer laptop that comes with windows, had that same crackling noise if I hold it at a weird angle.

I should have sent it back as well, but frankly that's just the state of the market RN. Companies don't give a f, even large ones.

I understand we are sliding in that direction. My point is, once there, its harder to keep that regime alive.

How many people are okay with what Israel is doing? Or Russia? Or (now) the US? Despite the propaganda and censoring all over the internet, not many. Most people aren't buying it.

Ah, the threatened oligarchy is at it again. I'm sure its purely a coincidence and not at all a retaliation for people abandoning big tech en masse.

This is basically it. It is just harder to run a fascist oligarchy these days. People are way too connected and are sympathetic to other people from other countries. The propaganda can only go so far.
