Wrong link btw

We're talking about neonazi and far right militias in the ground that are being trained and funded by America. You clearly didn't read any of the sources that I linked(which are Western, and in some cases, US military sources). I'm not talking about dumb neonazis larping somewhere, we're talking about well armed and funded militias that are being used to fight a proxy war, killing civilians.

Regarding Kharkiv and Mariupol I won't discuss further as you clearly are more motivated by rhetoric, than talking about actual facts.

These groups don't need political success when they are already subsumed into the apparatus of the military, as the sources I have linked to also point out.

> Are you implying that having a neo-nazi problems justifies the invasion? Because that’s what it sounds like.

Not that I condone war, or the invasion, but going off the cuff here: If we take the context of what Russia has said, and to facts on the ground, the 2 largest Russian military operations are currently surrounding Kharkiv and Mariupol, which have shown to be 2 of the largest bases for the neo-nazi and far-right militia recruitment in Ukraine.

> There’s also some irony in dismissing this article as propaganda when all you’ve pointed out is that it, offhandedly I might say, called the situation Kremlin propaganda. Especially it since consists mostly predictions, an enormous amount of which have become true.

I don't doubt the validity of the article's predictions. I doubted the articles dismissal of the neo-nazi and far right presence as being "Kremlin propaganda". When I hear this line, it automatically makes me believe the writer is either ignorant, or intentionally spreading propaganda, as this kind of dismissal does not coincide with reality. I'm just trying to inform people, because I see this narrative constantly, and it's worth fighting back against.

> with Kremlin propaganda portraying Ukraine as a proto-fascist, neo-Nazi state

Kremlin propaganda... I mean the US did (publicly at least)suspend military aid to Ukranian militias over their overt neonazi and white supremacist ties¹(these militias were then simply subsumed into the National Guard). Furthermore, the American military has even published a publicly available analysis of such forces in Ukraine², confirming their existence.

Furthermore, see jacobinmags article for more comprehensive analysis of these sources³.

None of the sources I've used here are in any way "Russian", they are all by Western sources. If quoting the American military's own reports is spreading "Kremlin propaganda", well then I can't help you.

If you think there is no weight to the neonazi presence in Ukraine, you've clearly fell for western propaganda, which the linked article gives itself away as being.

Oh, this is simply the tip of the iceberg. Most people have absolutely no idea how compromised the information system is.

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear, am I right? Unless people in government want to have you murdered for standing up against corruption, or for being an activist. Very, very deeply disturbing, actually.

If companies respected and paid platform/architecture engineers, or SecOps/SysAdmin types fair amounts of money and treated them with respect, instead of just throwing more and more money at hordes of mindless devs who are "pushing product", as virtually every single company does, maybe this problem wouldn't exist.

I've had this conversation too many times. Security isn't hard, it's just that nobody has respect for it. The guy who understands software security isn't getting the respect he deserves. The situation is so bad, some companies are literally hiring people who know the equivalent of script kiddie "penetration-testing".

Pay security engineers enough and listen very carefully to what they have to say. Literally the only companies who seem to understand this basic concept seem to be the intelligence agencies, and a few other high profile companies.

Someone remind me why Germany needs to be installing Israeli spyware onto citizens phones? We know this software's only purpose is to track down wrongthink and then murder dissidents.

Massive blow to the integrity of European telecoms.

Irrelevant. The people who own the most morally corrupt and toxic companies, that are destroying the planet, have all the money in the world to advertise and influence "organically" when everything they do is as inorganic and unnatural as it gets.

Industrialists will be first to the guillotine(in Minecraft of course).

Do you honestly believe everyone would suddenly know about the Chicago Strangler if they were murdering only white meth addicts? This racial rhetoric is so tired.

This really seems far fetched and disingenuous. I'm assuming that holocaust deniers are only 100% successfully deplatformed when the SPLC has absolutely free reign over which obscure groups and individual statements it may flag. In other words when the SPLC has literally 100% full control over the public discussion. How is this not totalitarian?

I've seen entire microcosms of people on twitter and facebook call for the murder of white people, I wonder if the SPLC would use some of their extremely extensive public funding to study that instead. (Hint: no)

Exactly, some falsely assume all technologists somehow share an enthusiasm for morality. Many of the most successful technologists I know simply work for the highest pay from military/intelligence contracts.
