@aram the yardstick I use to measure racism in this country is how much white supremacists and LITERAL NAZIS get away with while POC get killed daily for things like selling cigarettes, or carrying a sandwich, or walking down stairs, or being in their own apartment.
Racism in this country is absolutely staggering; it’s the country I’d probably choose to operate in if I were a shithead Nazi.
the us is losing all its "legality" credibility in the whole world, because one way or another those people have not been jailed/assassinated/executed with plausible denial like they did with the black panthers and many others ...
so from a position of view of the us as a western baluard of legitimacy, now the us on world scale is perceived as a baluard of neo Nazi neofascist neo kluk klus Klan neo kkkristians Inquisition talebanate ...
I don't know how you managed that result on your mobile device, but with Firefox and several security extensions on a desktop system I get no such result. Allowing JavaScript from just the primary wgme.com domain and a couple other previously trusted domains, The text and header image of the article renders and is fully readable.
WGME appears to be a Maine OTA TV station, and the article originated from the Bangor Daily News:
@VulcanTourist @aram I haven’t looked into it in depth but it’s very possible that it’s malware being served by an ad script on the page.
(I managed the result by visiting the page in mobile Safari on an iPhone.)
Situations like that are precisely why I'm so aggressive in blocking JS from all but the most crucial domains for the content at hand. It's a lot of work, but necessary. I try to duplicate that on my Android phone with mobile Firefox and the same or similar extensions, but have only partially succeeded. I've got years of custom rules and filters that need to be mirrored between both in near realtime, and I haven't done that yet.
The original BDN article is likely safer.
Yet again it's the Paradox of Tolerance in action, and what we need is a fully Defensive Democracy to counter this. No tolerance for the demonstrably intolerant.
