Australian state bans Nazi salutes. Guess whose side r/neoliberal is on!
  • Doesn't look too bad actually, specifically calling out a crossed out swastika as being allowed (afaik in Germany this example was used to disperse antifascist rallies)

    Either way though, the solution can only come from the working class.

  • i actually don't support these laws because they historically always just get used against the left and never against the right. fascism isn't defeated by the government banning it, it's defeated on the street. Also from a long time back, one of the proposed amendments to this bill was the following text (i dont know if it was in the final bill)

    all other extremist groups which seek to promote fascism, communism, anarchism, bigotry and violence in our community

    we also know that in places like germany where nazi symbols are banned they just invent new more obscure ones anyway

  • They say use whatsapp, they say use zoom
  • Maybe times have changed but when I was in school a decade ago they would just say I don't care and punish you for not doing your work lol, they can absolutely make you use it by virtue of being in charge

  • FIDE effectively bans trans women from competitive play for two years
  • potential justification of ban follows

    spoiler

    this is probably the worst part, like i guess there can be some argument made about fairness for trans women (eg. the usual reason men are better at chess is that they are taught from younger ages, so a woman transitioning later in life could have an advantage that isn't erased by transition). but removing trans mens titles shows its purely coming from a place of transphobia rather than actually caring about womens sport >:(

    its all bullshit though because there is fuck all trans players and afaik they aren't winning tournaments. and also the 'advantage' that trans women have is likely cancelled out by being trans, and theres nothing stopping people from coaching cis women from a young age.

    Whats a good instance for non-ML leftists?
  • I am a platformist, like the organisations in Anarkismo. I mostly want to discuss some politics but also computer shit, IT industry shit (ie. talk to other people in my industry, who are ideally more left wing than HN), and art + photography. TBH photography is mostly what I talk about online these days, but there isn't a big photography community anywhere on the threadiverse I think.

  • Actually I was asking if I could go somewhere adjacent to you, because I like you all but I was hesitant to move in lol. You never had a friend you like but wouldn't want to hang out with 24/7?
