Looking for focused alternatives to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc Not just for myself but for my family members and friends who I wish to keep in touch with.. any other threads going on about this? Maybe have a general thread and subsequent migration movements, we really need to act on this social life fascist monopoly we've became hostages to..

as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

No you aren't

Mundane abuse of the word "fascist" is pretty boring, admittedly, but I'm always ready to call it out.

Continue your bad faith, head in the sand vigil you dumb piece of shit.

It sounds like you're interested after all. The full essay is here. 3 minute read.

Author was possibly the most famous ever democratic socialist, so a pretty credible source.
