Black isn’t a colour.
Never bought paint before, eh?

Black is the absence of light and therefore not a colour.

But it is a shade.

Color is a far broader word than that, even if in some niche uses it’s specific.
Next you’re going to tell me zero is a number and not just a placeholder.

Are you 12? This is the kind of context-less pedantry that could only come from someone with no real-world experience.

Words can have different meanings in different contexts, and can belong in different categories depending.

Damn you got baited hard. Look at the username. Have you never seen a troll?
Anyone internet user can choose to troll if they like. Maybe some people have troll alter ego but for most username is unrelated.
Satansmaggotycumfart has been a Lemmy regular for many months. What’s your problem with funny usernames? Do you find laughter offensive?

Pigments dude…

Black is every single color at once in pigment.

White is every single color at once in light.

That’s not black, that’s a mix of every colour.

MIT engineers made a ‘black’ using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes but it’s only 99.995% of the way to being a true black.

A mix of every color in pigment is black because it absorbs every color wavelength of light so no color is reflected back to your eyes. All the things like vantablack are doing is trying to get the amount of light reflected back off the object to your eyes to be completely 0. Visible, or otherwise.

You’re focusing entirely on the light aspect, forgetting that pigments and light work together.

Any pigment can be black depending on the lighting, but only black can be black in full light.

They are only 99.995% of the way to that using the carbon fibre pigment I described.

Not a mixture of every colour.

Any pigment can be black depending on the lighting

No… Just because there isn’t enough light to illuminate the object doesn’t mean its pigmentation is black. Would you say that an object that is red becomes black if you close your eyes or turn off the lights?

The reason an object is black in full lighting is because it’s absorbing all the wavelengths of colored light you can see due to its pigment containing all of those colors. That’s why we have black objects that we can see and call “black.” Because they’re black.

Also, just because I am curious: What do you think a black light is/does?

If I gave you a black and a red ball in the dark you couldn’t tell me which is which.

If you gave me a ball painted with a conventional ’black’ paint and one that was painted with the pigment I described previously in full light I could.

If I gave you a black and a red ball in the dark you couldn’t tell me which is which.

With my naked eyes? No. Because I can’t see. But if you put them in a room I couldn’t see and gave me the tools to analyze their molecular structure in a room I can see in, I could. (Or well, someone who knows how to use the equipment and read the measurements could anyway lol)

I wouldn’t need any special tools or tool-deciphering experts.
Is purple a colour?
Yes but it is one of the lesser colours like orange.
Lol I guess we have a hierarchy of colors now
Yesterday we were discussing capitalism and today it’s colours.
Next thing you know it’s going to be a book about the superiority of some colours and how inferior colours should no longer exist… wait a minute 🤔
Uh, yes? ‘Blue and green reign supreme’ as the saying that I just made up goes
“I’m blue, if I was green I would die, if I was green I would die…”
Well you contradict yourself, since there’s no such thing as purple light, it must be as much a colour as black is. Have you considered your third-grade gotcha might not be quite nuanced enough for the real world? Or that the science of colours might be a little more complex than you first thought?
That’s because it’s ultra purple when it’s light
Not all colours are made of light.
Light isn’t color. Color is exclusively in your head. It’s a mental construct.
I was gonna say something about scientific definitions not being too useful and that you would need to deny that orange and purple are colors, while claiming that WIFI is, but then I actually looked it up and I can’t find a definition that doesn’t include “lightness” in the equation, aka, black and white (and orange too). Literally can only find an Adobe article claiming this and then countless online discussions.
It’s pretty easy, black isn’t a colour.
A good troll should require barely any intervention from the person trolling. This chain has 20 comments; nine are yours. 9/20 = you suck at trolling. Sauce.
I’m just having a friendly discussion.
You’re supposed to start with “Pardon me, I couldn’t help but overh…” no no no wait nevermind that’s a different type of troll, my bad.

I like these trolls.

I don’t, their faces are creepy looking
A master troll can survive for a year on a few grains of MDMA and the dew on his bag of grass.
Yes it is. It’s one of the 4 colors that can make all other colors! Blue, Magenta, Steve, and Black.
Steve is a secondary color!
Memes that come with citations? Now that’s how you shitpost.
Fascist definition: Anyone I disagree with. That’s some solid research conrade.

You should host a course titled:

How to identify yourself as a fascist 101

Also, fuck off, fascist.

Also, fuck off, fascist.

Thanks for proving my point.

Germany: Far-right AfD candidate attacked in Mannheim - Lemmy.World

Yes? Let’s not make this thread too, make your argument and let me reply, this is no irc chat.
No, this is airing dirty Nazi laundry. Say Nazi shit, get called a Nazi.
Are you referring to something specific here or just venting? I certainly don’t call anyone I disagree with a fascist, but there are many people in the present society who advocate for fascist ideas. What else should we call them?

Look, can’t we just find some common ground and meet in the middle?

…hmm.

Alternatively

…double hmm.

Don’t forget the speech one. Both said no on that one.
Your free speech rights end where other peoples’ rights begin. You do not have the right to instigate violence towards people through hate speech.
I’ve usually heard horseshoe theory referring to tankies/authoritarian communists, not anti fascists.
My dad swears up and down that antifa are the real nazis. I think this would be a response to that type of thing.
Is your dad in this thread? I think he might be.
Ask him if he opposes the antifa fascists. When he says yes, call him antifa
My favorite thing in the world is calling him antifa :)
Guess where the antifaschistische aktion has it roots…

In 1919, Benito Mussolini united various groups in the then Kingdom of Italy to form the Fasci di combattimento. During the Biennio rosso (1919-1921), the Black Shirts used targeted terror against striking industrial workers, the Partito Socialista Italiano (PSI) and all opposition. As a result, local and regional anti-fascist groups as well as vigilante groups emerged from 1920 onwards, encompassing the entire political spectrum, from Catholics and liberals to socialists and anarchists.

Emphasis by me

In 1921, Mussolini transformed his militia movement into the National Fascist Party. The first armed anti-fascist organization came into being in 1921 with the Arditi del Popolo. It was open to anarchists, communists, social democrats, Christians and bourgeois republicans. However, the leadership of the PSI and the Partito Comunista Italiano (PCI) rejected the League. It remained limited to a few thousand members and a few cities.[3] This was the first organization with an explicitly anti-fascist self-image. Its supporters referred to themselves as antifascisti[4].

Emphasis by me

Arditi del Popolo

It grouped revolutionary trade-unionists, socialists, communists, anarchists, republicans, anti-capitalists, as well as some former military officers

Composed of Italian anarchists, socialists, and communists, the Arditi del Popolo were not supported by leftist parties (neither by the Italian Socialist Party, PSI, nor by the Communist Party of Italy, PCd’I).

Furthermore, the PCd’I ordered its members to quit the organization because of the presence of non-communists in its ranks.[8] The PCd’I organized by themselves some militant groups (the Squadre comuniste d’azione), but their actions were relatively minor and the party kept a non-violent, legalist strategy.

The Antifaschistische Aktion grew in the soil of the SPD and KPD in Nazi Germany (which themselves where not autoritarians or tankies at the time), but it’s roots are older, decidedly antiauthoritarian and open to every political spectrum that wanted to fight fascism.

Remember kids, it’s not hypocrisy to be intolerant of the intolerant. They have broken the social compact and are therefore no longer protected by it.
