I really think this country is too crazy to really determine a motive. Why do people shoot up elementary schools? It seems so easy to think it’s politically motivated, but I’m not convinced he hated trump, really.

Interesting, hard to tell from this, but was this racialized or most focused on the “loss of citizenship and therefore national heritage” part? Wonder what their feelings would have been on some Italian that was born in Germany. It’s hard for me to imagine caring about my own national heritage that much, but I guess it’s possible someone did.

What a stark contrast this draws with something like Stalin’s Marxism and the National Question:

“But this is not the case with an organization on the basis of nationalities. When the workers are organized according to nationality they isolate themselves within their national shells, fenced off from each other by organizational barriers. The stress is laid not on what is common to the workers but on what distinguishes them from each other. In this type of organization the worker is primarily a member of his nation: a Jew, a Pole, and so on. It is not surprising that national federalism in organization inculcates in the workers a spirit of national seclusion.”

Yeah, that sounds pretty normal, I guess. The time-frame part is probably based on how new you are as well as the nature of the task. I did quite a bit of that type of thing when I started, basically fixing tech debt, and small stuff.

If it’s something you want to bring up, I think you expressed yourself pretty clearly. You could schedule some time with your boss to talk about it.

What would frustrate me would be the rework I was doing. If you could maybe even set up a short weekly meeting? Show your boss what you’re doing and they could tell you if it’s the right track or not.

Interesting read, comrade. Thanks for posting. I’ve always been morbidly curious about the relationship of such an overtly white supremacist state aligning with Japan, and I guess this is about what I would expect.

Kind of interesting in the vein of race as a social construct where given the right circumstances, anyone can be drafted into whiteness or excluded from it.

Were Italians considered aryans? I really don’t know what aryan means, I guess. I’ve heard people talk about Italians not being considered white after immigrating and I always privately thought, “what side was Italy on in WW2?” as sort of contradictory to that, though I wouldn’t say that about the Japanese. Probably some American centric problem with my thought.

I know Hexbear skews very, very liberal. I haven’t spent much time in other lemmy places.

Yeah, that’s Bingo. Younger sister to the titular Bluey. She’s my daughter’s favorite.

Objectively true answer. Left wing speech is what is threatened and a place that advocates for it should be viewed as the protector of free speech.
