You are confusing blame and responsibility. Guilt is collective, responsibility is individual.

Fascism is a totalitarian form of suppression of dissent and oligarchic corporatism that has grown into imperialism. Most of the major media today have these signs, as well as TNCs in intertwining with politicians, officials and bankers. This is a global mafia, it is no longer even local.

You can call what happened as you like since 2020, but the fact that this is the forerunner of totalitarian power in most countries is already undoubtedly and does not change the essence.

I have only browsed your political remarks quickly but noticed two questionable aspects. "Facist" is the wrong word to describe all current gouvernments; the word is specialised including some meaning of classifying people as (not) worth living. Maybe you mean "not caring for the interests of all citizens".

"collective guilt for what they had done". The former German bundespresident Richard von Weizäcker gave a major speech on the subject concluding that there is no collective guilt of later generations but their responsibility of memorisation.

So that you understand the difference with the United States - in Russia there are no prosecutors and judges elected by the people at all. Their entire judicial machine is illegitimate and dependent on the executive branch of government. Judges and prosecutors have been personally appointed by President Putin for more than 20 years. And it's the same in China. And most European countries.

In the US, a significant part of judges and prosecutors are elected positions, but even this does not help now, looking at how clever criminal bureaucrats get away with the covid scam by refusing to testify under oath with the connivance of some judges. Or when the American judicial system refuses to accept a lawsuit from relatives of the American journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed in the Saudi Arabian embassy, under the pretext of some kind of "immunity" from President Biden (a fake liberal), although the same judge immediately stipulates that it is his personal decision that it is unlawful to dismiss the lawsuit, because he is afraid, you see, of the aggravation of relations between the United States and the Saudi government. So, step by step, evil triumphs on the planet. When one little man in power surrenders and begins to act in a way that is beneficial to great evil. I hope this judge, if his elective position is not re-elected and impeached by the inhabitants of his district. And if not, then the inhabitants of his district are in solidarity with the great evil ...

Mean Google translator INTENTIONALLY distorted my text:

It should read "the majority of Russians have NO(it special google wrong translate) access to different points of view on what is happening and video materials"
AS "the majority of Russians have free access to different points of view on what is happening and video materials"
they HAVE free access through VPN, which is used by almost everyone everywhere. And even without a VPN, there are plenty of materials available in other languages (which are easy to translate) to get alternative perspectives and video facts.

Quote from: S.Yu on December 10, 2022, 17:06:11I think democracy by and large has learned enough from Hitler such that another like him would be unlikely in the near term. Importantly, Hitler, from where he was elected, would likely be removed were he to attempt to proceed to the later massacres. Keeping it a secret is also far more difficult in the information age.
All the states of the world today are fascist regimes, which was clearly proved by the Covid scam from the spring of 2020.

So when Putin's clique yells at all mouthpieces that the US and the EU are fascists, he is not disingenuous. And when the EU and the US yell that its regime is fascist, they are not being cunning either. They all tell the truth about their "opponents". As well as the Chinese.

Kleptocrats all over the world have long united and are breeding the ranks of ordinary idiots by joint efforts. Otherwise, they will no longer survive in the digital age of fast communications.

There is no "democracy". There are herds of sheep with poor education and outlook, without any hint of critical thinking, which has been proved by the events since 2020.

Therefore, no "democracy" has learned anything. This was proved by the society in Russia in other countries, including all Western ones. China does not even hide that it is a totalitarian country. Russia officially became totalitarian as such only in the last 4-5 years, with the majority of the population finally delusional, silently watching for 9 months, how they kill the Slav brothers, with whom they once lived in the same state and with the same language, they kill and destroy very close their entire infrastructure under the howls about some "Nazis". And there is no one except for a handful of 0.1-0.2% of the population on the streets with posters, and even more so there is not even a hint of barricades. Everything in general was spitting until the mobilization began. But instead of rebellion, half-slaves preferred to run away....
Because in Russia the slave constitution was originally from the beginning of the 90s. And they developed such a constitution. US experts. The people of Russia do not even have the right, according to the Constitution (another one from the 90s), to overthrow the criminal government by force, as the people of the United States formally have such a right (although they have clearly lost their freedom and rights to the totalitarian state apparatus of officials, bankers and speculators, the very same global mafia).
And the Russians have no right to freely purchase and carry weapons (which, by the way, was their right in Tsarist Russia, where serfdom was formally abolished earlier than in the USA), except for a handful of scoundrels close to power. Therefore, in fact, they are pure slaves of their bureaucratic and judicial-punitive apparatus. And since they have never been free in the past hundreds of years, they have nowhere to get a free mentality. They are hereditary serfs from time immemorial, the majority. And only a small layer managed to be reborn mentally, and even then not completely. And most of this small stratum fled from there a long time ago, because. there is no point in fighting the insane and slavishly submissive majority. Just wasting your personal short life...

The problem for freedom-loving Americans - already also a narrow layer, that they have nowhere to run on the planet - will be even worse everywhere, and the second young version of the USA is nowhere to be found. Yes, and the first version can not put an end to real slavery ...

Everything goes in a spiral of degradation. Again. All over the planet...

Quote from: S.Yu on December 10, 2022, 17:06:11I also don't believe it's so "clear" that most of the Russian population supports the war against Ukraine, considering how many have already escaped Russia or are trying to either due to the conscription or the economy.
You can believe or not believe. At least believe in aliens. The facts clearly show that the majority of the Russian population meekly supported the massacre and now only fears retribution if they do not come out victorious...

It was the same with the Germans before World War II. The only difference with them is that, unlike them, the majority of Russians have no access to different points of view on what is happening and video materials. But even this does not save them from the monstrous state of cowardice and slavish obedience. Even seeing the suffering and direct admissions of the authorities that they are deliberately bombing the infrastructure of Ukraine, leaving millions of people without heating, electricity and water in the cold winter, they still deny these facts, passively supporting this monstrous machine of destruction.

Where a significant part of the civilly active population is really against the war (as in the USA with Vietnam), there the war is stopped under pressure from the people.

Recently there was a scandal in Latvia, when even the "opposition" TV channel "Dozhd", which "escaped" from Russia and received a license to broadcast in Latvia, showed live a map where Crimea was designated as the territory of Russia and, moreover, its host (who is now banned from entering Latvia, and the TV channel was eventually deprived of a license) on the same air expressed concern about the "suffering" of Russian soldiers (who voluntarily went to kill because they had the right to resist, but they did not use it while still on their own land) killing Ukrainians on their land, that they need to collect warm clothes for them. Approximately as if in the USA or the USSR during the years of the second war, local radio hosts would announce a fundraiser to help the howling soldiers of the Wehrmacht in Europe and the USSR. What do you think. what did the authorities of the USSR and the USA do with such radio hosts? Prison at best, execution at worst. Now everything is more "tolerant" than the presenter was simply expelled from Latvia.

Even this vivid episode of the scandal with the allegedly "oppositional" Russian TV channel in Latvia clearly shows the mental vile essence of the majority of former residents of Russia (who for years were considered opponents of the regime and evil), even such educated ones as the owners of this TV channel and its presenters. Who only pretend that they are on the side of those who are trying to pretend that they are protecting Ukraine and its integrity...

So there is no need to protect the population of Russia - they themselves chose their fate. Passively contemplating for decades how their country is plunging into darkness, having a bunch of alternative sources of information from all over the planet, unlike the Germans, who at least did not have this in their mass in the 20s and 30s of the last century, but which also justifies them little. And even when Germany was defeated, as historical facts show, the majority of Germans did not realize and did not accept the collective guilt for what they had done. Likewise, the Russians do not admit their collective guilt and never will. Even if they lose. And this will allow the seeds of evil to sprout again through the ages...

Quote from: NikoB on December 08, 2022, 18:26:49Germany also had democratic elections 100 years ago and Hitler won them. And the elections in Russia, where the majority of the population clearly supports this massacre (especially if it does not affect their families personally), have also been recognized as legitimate in the EU and the US for a whole 20 years since the KGB officer came to power. He was the head of the KGB before the drunken Yeltsin and the oligarchs chose him as heir to the throne. Think about it at your leisure.

The rule of the majority does not mean the adequacy of society. What history has proven to us many times and is proving right now.

Society goes in the right direction only if it has a sufficiently strong layer of progressive and freedom-loving people who can give a tough rebuff to people with a slave mentality and the villains who use them.
I think democracy by and large has learned enough from Hitler such that another like him would be unlikely in the near term.

"The rule of the majority does not mean the adequacy of society."...of course, Italy is harmless largely because it's powerless, the economy is frail and the system refuses to be reorganized, nobody "in power" really has much power and can't make themselves invulnerable either. There's no easy telling right from wrong in politics but Italy's not in the clear because it's "right", more like it can't really move in any direction, and is subject to outside influence from the EU and US and they're not "too wrong" in the sense that autocracy is wrong, and a path to devastation. That also doesn't say that the Italian society is "adequate", it's rather borderline inadequate.

Quote from: S.Yu on November 29, 2022, 15:50:32HK is now ruled by a junior high graduate Xi loyalist, who knows nothing but to, well, demonstrate loyalty to Xi.
Italy is now also ruled by a woman(e00-elmundo.uecdn.es/assets/multimedia/imagenes/2022/09/26/16642119585973.jpg) who does not even have a higher education and great sympathy for the Nazis. So what? So Italy is gone?

Given the risks in Taiwan, it would be foolish for NVidia to move there rather than the US or South Korea. Although even there now it is unsettled. It's going to be hot soon...

Rather, the stupid population will lose to the globally united kleptocrats.



That's different, Italy is actually democratic and one leader is unlikely to do too much damage. The situation in HK is that whoever rules no longer matters, they're guaranteed Xi's puppet.

I doubt that is going to happen soon. I do not totally agree on everything with this guy, but I found this interesting and fun nevertheless: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=gbWTuDp4Xs0 (China Would Lose a War with the USA | laowhy86 - Youtube)
I'm now cautiously optimistic about that because of Xi's multiple self-dealt blows, namely the black hole that is the housing bubble which he does not allow to burst, the social backlash unseen in nearly two decades and isolation from international community from making PC out of COVID, and the fast surfacing corruption due to his installing inept loyalists throughout the system.

Quote from: Erik on November 25, 2022, 15:57:47Meanwhile Nvidia is closing its HK offices and moving to... Taiwan. I wonder if these contracts are really related to the geopolitical tensions.
lol, what were you expecting, that Taiwan-based companies move to HK?
Same thing with Nvidia, HK is now ruled by a junior high graduate Xi loyalist, who knows nothing but to, well, demonstrate loyalty to Xi. Many are pulling out including Nvidia, which is a downward spiral for HK meaning it would have to be soon absorbed by the mainland due to the vacuum created from distrust by foreign business interests in its apparent "second system". Goes to show what Taiwan would be put through were Xi to succeed in his "grand unification".

To improve the 3 nm yields that are barely reaching 20%, Samsung started working with US-based company Silicon Frontline Technology that specializes in electrostatic discharge prevention methods. Samsung is also developing a second generation 3 nm node, but it is unclear which stepping will be utilized by Nvidia, IBM and Qualcomm.
