I think Nazis should be banned from all social media. I don't think this should be a controversial opinion.

Yes, Nazis will say I'm the real Nazi. I don't see why that makes any difference. When they do that, they're lying. Objective reality exists.

For the thousandth time - yes objective reality exists, but this is a terrible idea because the core problem becomes; who gets to decide what objective reality is? And no, I'm not kidding. Some things seem obvious, but people tend to forget obvious things, especially during periods of mass psychosis.

I think that's a gullible worldview to demand when nearly every actual member of the Third Reich is dead or dying in 2025. You're kinda just profiling people to virtue signal, instead of letting their actions speak for themselves. Putin uses the same rhetoric to justify annexing Ukraine.

People don't like to hear this, but the majority of self-described "fascists" I've met in my life grew up. Their stupid worldview stemmed from a place of dissatisfaction, delusion, or a desire to get a reaction out of people. When you attack them outright, you feed into their fantasy that they're persecuted instead of just mentally ill.

French deny this, so I guess is true but more nuanced: https://x.com/francediplo/status/1924129503800127999

Anyway, the election was held and the pro-EU candidate won with a large margin and had one of the highest turnout in decades.

I was impressed by the Romanian counting and reporting. Apparently they were able published live participation numbers since they used tablets log people who came to vote and they had the full results in about 2 hours.

This is the website for it: https://prezenta.roaep.ro/prezidentiale18052025/?region=roma...

Fun fact, the winner is a mathematician who had perfect scores at the international mathematics olympiads in 1987 and 1988.

Here's his profile: https://x.com/francediplo/status/1924129503800127999
