Climate@slrpnk.net•Lee Raymond, Exxon CEO Who Doubted Climate Change, Dies at 87 | as early as the 1970s, Exxon had understood more about climate change than it had let on and had deliberately misled the public about it48·4 days agoAs usual, the media sanewashes these people by describing them as “doubting” and being “skeptical” about climate change. He didn’t do either. He knew it was happening, and decided to hasten the mass extinction of life on Earth and the collapse of human civilization, while lying about it and persecuting anyone who spoke the truth, in order to make himself richer than anyone needs to be. And the article talks about his “fairness” and “firmness” to disguise a reality of greed, lies, and abusive management culture, all in the service of deeply destructive goals.

5·5 days agoI like Vivaldi except for two things: it uses the same engine as Chrome so facilitates Google’s stranglehold on web standards, and it is closed-source. For functionality and design it’s one of the best, but those are important downsides.

politics @lemmy.world•Swastika-waving neo-Nazi group disrupts Georgia LGBTQ+ Pride celebration
4·5 days agoIt’s not sympathy. It’s recognition that Nazism is a disease any society can succumb to. It’s refusal to take the cheap option and say they’re not human. Their being human is what makes Nazism so dangerous. And we probably agree that you can’t pull punches in dealing with Nazis.
I suspect we’re using the term “human” differently. In my book it’s neutral: humanity means great potential for good and evil. Nazism is the great evil in humanity’s potential. But by “human” people sometimes mean to focus on what makes us capable of compassion and selflessness and not just brutes. There’s none of that in Nazism: it’s sheer brutality and selfishness. So in that sense Nazis do lack humanity.
I reject your claim that I’m sympathetic to Nazis. There’s no sympathy for Nazis here, just a recognition of how deeply dangerous Nazism is.

politics @lemmy.world•Swastika-waving neo-Nazi group disrupts Georgia LGBTQ+ Pride celebration
6·6 days ago“Nazis aren’t human but we are” is how we got to the point of having Nazis everywhere again. It’s this kind of thinking that makes people complacent. Nazis are ordinary humans, ordinary people. Becoming a Nazi is a thing regular people do. That’s why Nazism is so dangerous. They’re not weird monsters, they’re regular humans acting as a poison in society. Every society should be on guard for signs that its people are turning Nazi.
Which isn’t to say we should be gentle and tolerant towards these poisonous people. Left undealt with, Nazi poison will destroy everything. It has to be dealt with decisively, and when the government is full of Nazis it’s up to the people to fight back.

19·7 days agoThe fact that he spent decades fucking kids with Epstein is sort of interesting. He might be eligible for some kind of “bigliest pedo rapist” award. It’s interesting enough that they should release the rest of the files like they’re legally obligated to do.

politics @lemmy.world•Pro-Israel voices win out, kill bill to stop US-Israel military integration
2·9 days agoYou’re misreading the headline because it contains a scope ambiguity:
- Pro-Israel voices win out, kill [bill to stop US-Israel military integration]
vs
- [Pro-Israel voices win out, kill bill] to stop US-Israel military integration
1 would mean that they killed a bill whose aim was to stop military integration. 2 would mean they killed a bill, and their aim in killing the bill was to stop military integration.
You’re reading 2, but 1 is what the publisher meant. There was a move to integrate US and Israeli militaries. Then there was a bill to stop this integration. But that bill got killed by pro-Israel votes, so the integration is still going ahead.
