UnderpantsWeevilTo learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
LupusCareful with that quote, it’s by Kevin Alfred Strom a Neo-Nazi from an 1993 essay in the national Vanguard, a white nationalist publication and it refers to the antisemitic trope of world Judaism.
I’m not criticizing you, just want to contextualize it because it could be misconstrued to be a antisemitic dog-whistle, especially in the context of the linked article.
It’s an axiomatic truism. It’s logic is self contained.
To learn who is wet, simply find out who is in the water.
Logic self contained within nature’s perfect geometry, a circle.
Why does that preclude it from being in the zeitgeist?
Because it’s literally a white supremacist talking point?
You and I are in agreement; the user I responded to seemed to be implying otherwise.
the user I responded to seemed to be implying otherwise.
Not really. I’m just saying the quote isn’t particularly insightful upon analysis, source notwithstanding.
Is it? I haven’t studied philosophy (but I have studied math) - it seems to me that the Wikipedia article on Truism demands the statement to be true for it to be a truism. But it’s not true though?
The way I see it, the statement can be construed as:
I’m not allowed to criticize X -> X rules over me
But, perhaps because “allowed” and “criticize” are subject to interpretation, there are plenty of groups you will be socially penalized for criticizing (see jokes about kids with cancer below the comment with the quote - I can’t figure out how to link to them). Many countries also protect minorities by making hate speech illegal, and yet those minorities are not ruling the country (though that’s probably exactly what the quote was originally meant to imply). If anything, the truism would be the opposite implication:
X rules over me -> I’m not allowed to criticize X
Yet even this isn’t categorically true, like in democracies (which I guess brings in the interpretation of “rule”, as well).
Well, that just means he has experience ruling over people, and not allowing them to criticize him.
That means it’s valid.
CatoblepasI knew it was the kids with cancer all along!
Yeah! Those littlebrats have had it too easy for too long!
Well not that long EACH, but you know 🤷
otterDidn’t a literal Nazi coin that phrase while talking about jews?
Jews had a disproportionate amount of power and influence in the Weimar Republic just like they have a disproportionate amount of power and influence now.
Take a look at some of their communities: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cubO0lhOMcs They genuinely do not care about anyone but themselves and will actively hinder non-Jewish members of the community to further their own standing.
It’s gotten so bad we’re not even allowed to talk about how bad it is.
I Exposed New Jersey's Jewish Invasion...
Let me guess - you have a Final Solution for it.
Can’t let people say the truth, it would inconvenience your masters.
The news reporter wanted a feel good puff piece regardless of how inappropriate it is. The interviewee wanted to report the actual news.
To the holding company it is.
A misunderstanding on your part I thinks. I believe they are saying it was inappropriate to attempt to sanitize reality so they could release a “feel good puff piece”.
The company that owns that NBC affiliate wanted a feel good puff piece.
I doubt she had a say in the matter.
Yeah, she’s just following orders.
tatterdemalionWe all know how good “just following order” and “just doing my job” turns out.

Noam Chomsky to BBC-journalist: "If you believed different you wouldn't been sitting here."
Was it live? Probably not. That means they left it in on purpose.
Did you watch the clip?
Yes. But if they aired it, they aired it on purpose. Clips like that are rarely actually live. So they made a show of not continuing to give him airtime, but they gave him enough to get his message out - twice.
It’s says “Live” in the upper left hand corner.
They often lie about that. It’s usually pseudo live, as in, recorded just a short while before.
AtHeartEngineerlol I love that guy, he definitely like “oh ya, it’s my time, I’m over this shit, but I’ll be polite about it”
TropicalDingdongIf the fediverse can focus on integrating content from from other fediverse sources extremely organically, the fediverse will win. I should have to leave Lemmy to watch this video.
Did you have to leave on .world? I didn’t have to on my instance, but I don’t know exactly how all that works.
In this case I’d say it’s especially good for the sake of loops rather than lemmy. Loops is quite a small platform, and looking at it now, this post has 23 likes and 2 comments. But two posts I’ve seen on lemmy, totaling ~800 upvotes and ~45 comments.
Seems like pulling that info into loops would make it all feel much more lively, though I’m sure this isn’t insight to the already busy loops creator!
You need to leave? I could just watch it on the timeline. Using jerboa, I guess it depends on client.
Ok web, its embedded. On mobile, I have to hop out.
Woah, I’ve been on Eternity for quite a while and have heard about Jerboa a bunch in comments! Finally downloaded it based on this comment and sure enough, this video was the first thing in my feed and it even auto played silently on the thumbnail! (Turning that off immediately though lol)
Thanks for the recommend!! ❤️
Are there some federated video sites? Most of the video results in duckduckgo are hosted by the tech giants, would be cool if there was some alternatives
PeerTube is the biggest player for fediverse video as far as I know. There is also Loops, which is where this video is hosted.
On voyager, I have to go out of client.
yeah thats what I’m talking about.
LainTrainThey better never interview me on live TV. Ill be asking the reporter where they will be hiding when the revolution comes.
Beat Kidz - Who did you exploit today?
It really makes you wonder how these reporters are trained. What else can they not talk about on air?
Crazy how fast she pulled back on that. Like she has been trained to not allow that sort of talk. It was almost instant.
A dog watching another dog bote the hand that feeds her.
