And when they're out, when this is nothing more than a bad memory, let's keep Nazis in their place. On the discarded boot of history that they so loved.

(End)

The US admin is full of actual Nazis, who want to turn this world to shit because they cannot imagine anything other than domination and control.

And they deserve nothing more than what the last batch did, twhat the Confederacy did, what any bully in a high school deserves: a bloody nose, a visceral reminder that their behavior will never be tolerated, and threefold the pain they would inflict on others.

Anyway. This batch is a bunch of fools, and we'll see them fall. Keep your chin up.

This is why you punch Nazis. This is why you deplatform them. And I won't say anything about the dead fascist they're using as a convenient martyr -- I have no kindness nor polite words at all for them.

At the end of the day, all they understand is power. And being beaten to the mat, so they never try that harm again.

The Nazis in power deserve what the last batch of Nazis got: defeat. And their day in court for being Nazis, in which "just following orders" was not a defense.

They also learned that no company under the sun will stop them. GamerGate showed that when companies were faced with the mildest of flame war, they folded and chose to offer sacrifices to appease the mob.

Now they're doing that with trans people. And boy howdy, that mob is never going to be satisfied -- they just might move to another target for awhile, but they'll be back.

The answer is to fight the mob: close the doors, shut the windows, and the protect people they so eagerly want sacrificed.

This was always about a white nationalist movement trying to obtain and retain power, backed by rich plutocrats who believe in it.

What's different is how they learned, through movements like GamerGate, that you can dress up fascism and bullying in polite language.

It was never about "ethics in game journalism". It was never about debate. It was never about speech.

It was about full-throated control, building support for hate, and destroying perceived enemies every step of the way.

This week feels especially bleak in the US, because the fucks in power are just going for it. They have their token scapegoat, and it not being the perfect one they want is beside the point. They're crafting it into what they want in real time via control over the media.

I think that strong-armed crackdowns on speech will fail. If I didn't, I would not be writing here.

And for folks just now showing up, some words for what's going on.

Writing here instead of other places because I don't want this to be an observation that "goes viral". I don't want that exposure, and I don't want to be the voice people expect to turn to for any of this.

But I do want to say a few things, so if you get anything out of it, please share it in ways that don't link back here, or feel free to steal credit even.

Anyway.🧵:

@nixCraft So yeah. Pretty good idea tbh.

@nixCraft For all the hate we give CloudFlare and certain CDNs, them rolling out the AI hall of mirrors thing gives another idea.

What if they put interchangeable complete nonsense into everyone's web request headers simultaneously. Interchangeably by hour or day.

You could poison a looooot of these bot models and make the process of correcting them tedious and painful.

@nixCraft Given how much LLMs and reinforcement learning models rely on Bayesian with spotty overfitting checks:

It'll throw off the model if this gets packaged into a meme and goes viral. And you can use that to have them spout out the funniest shit with enough quorum.
