  • That should be obvious as soon as you step off any social platform or physical space controlled by capital. Capital has always been a tool for conquerors.

  • Depends on the situation really, it makes me feel the joy of a naughty child. Roll with it. Where you can feed people bad data, do it. Where you cannot, strip it and block it. Obtusify and randomise how your computer connects to the internet (browser spoofs, VPNs, SPN, etc.), use containers (Firefox), support others breaking rules (https://snowflake.torproject.org/), contain your applications (https://safing.io/), spoof things like location etc. This is my little everyday act of anarchism. If people want to fight back against this bullshit, they should learn to stop complying with the folks putting everyone and everything in boxes. People are so used to mindlessly complying. It's my nerdy kind of fun. Make your phone & computer a poisoned apple when you have time.

  • Sorry, I was not clear. I was trying to say that they're a package deal; you must look at them within the contexts of each other. Both cultures are hitting the same notes based on their propensity for similar historical revisionism at similar times and the relationship is kinda nuanced. I found something more eloquent than my 2am brain.

    The main reason for such lack of accuracy is that a thorough analy- sis of the history of the raised-arm salute requires a synthesis of vari- ous areas of knowledge that scholars usually keep separate: the history, literature, and art of ancient rome; the cultural and political history of modern italy, Germany, and the United States; the history of late- eighteenth-century european painting and late-nineteenth-century popular theater; and film history from its beginnings to today. For this reason no comprehensive scholarship on the raised-arm salute has previously been attempted.

    With the rise of Nazi Germany, some Americans identified the flag salute itself as problematic. This dissertation refers to the salute popularized by the Youth’s Companion, in which children began the Pledge with their right hand over their heart before extending their hand upward toward the flag, palm up, at the phrase “to my flag,” as the Bellamy salute to be consistent with earlier historiography, although recent research suggests it predated Francis Bellamy, its namesake.467 The Nazi salute differed from the Bellamy salute only in that the arm began outstretched and the palm faced down. The Bellamy salute was most likely based on the mythologized “Roman salute,” which also inspired Italian and German fascist salutes in the twentieth century.468 Although the Bellamy salute predated the Nazi salute and was incorporated into the Flag Code in 1923, Americans in the 1930s and early 1940s were forced to consider whether the traditional rituals of the Pledge of Allegiance should change as a hyper-nationalistic foreign regime seemed intent on overthrowing the democratic governments of the world.46

    This is what I was trying to get at with the pipeline link.

    Also you must consider the rise of media during this time: https://kb.osu.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/0c516d4f-431c-551b-820c-2bfed6ec9b4b/content

    History rhymes. I unironically think about the Roman Empire a lot because it's a dog whistle. To say one inspired the other isn't wrong when you take a step back, it's just oversimplified.

  • I think you misread that, in context it circles back to the American one. For more context see here under origins. The American version was very much in the timeline with the inspiration: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_salute

    Also worth reading: https://web.archive.org/web/20240719151050/https://www.workingclassicists.com/post/the-antiquity-to-alt-right-pipeline

    The Nazi's love of America and Rome plus the whole America being based on a lot of Roman stuff (Look at your money motifs... Columns on Lincoln Memorial, White House, etc.), is a whole... thing. People forget the Rome idolization too, but it goes hand in hand with the American stuff.

  • Warning to Rich Oppressors

    5 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.[a] 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.
