Yes. But I’m not paid continuously for the work I’ve done in the past, and I’m not paid the actual value of my work.
Should we still be paying Homer for his incredible work on the Iliad, do you think?

I work for a living, so I’m used to my work being exploited as a matter of course.
Nah mate. Information is free the second it leaves its source. Any attempt to curtail it after then is just a cunt’s trick.
I prefer my mechanical stress calculations in millidynes per square kiloparsec thank you very much.

Also the images they show are only possible with a camera and a slow shutter and image processing; what you see through the eyepiece is completely different and usually just a bluish smudge.
The one you’re too lazy to search?
You’re saying that social media is not the real cause of the youth mental health crisis? Do you propose a different cause? Because I know of a good few, very well-qualified people (of varying ages) that might explicitly disagree with you…
I think it’s 50-50, because the Chinese l sound is pronounced with the tongue in the position somewhere between the Latin r and l sounds. So it’s just as likely to be heard as a “wrong” L or a “wrong” R.
The fun part is that the tropes stick to our own way of pronouncing the letter (r becomes l or vice versa) instead of attempting to pronounce the Chinese sound correctly…
There’s also the fact that they are too explosive to conform to flight safety standards.
Couldn’t think of an actual witty name
Why not put that on the sign then instead of some vague, unrelated bollocks that doesn’t justify the removal? If that’s the case then I feel the wording on the sign is borderline dishonest.
I wish more people realised this. Well said comrade.
Did I say Nazis are infiltrating beer? If I did it was a typo, I’ve not intentionally mentioned beer afaik.
I’m glad i gave you the benefit of the doubt :)
That’s gone over my head old chum. Care to explain?
Is it that the whole place is insane, or is it more likely you are wrong? There would have to be some explanation as to why everyone in this whole place has the same wrong idea. As far as I’m aware Lemmy doesn’t ask questions about your view on nazi subcultures during sign up so it can’t be that. Do you have any explanation for your conspiracy theory, or is it in fact more likely that your view is flawed. Just by logic you should be able to see this.
You might be approaching this question from the wrong angle. Let me restate the argument the OP is making:
Fascism is an ideology which ultimately solely worships power.
To make this palatable for the inevitable powerless from whom they draw their power, the fascists appropriate other ideologies and political viewpoints that are convenient and claim to be ideologically pure when they are not; in this way fascism is a form of populism.
Fascists therefore have to be relatable to the powerless. Culture is necessary. The Nazis were extraordinarily well-dressed for example, and their guns, tanks and motorbikes etc. looked really really cool.
Culture is a form of power. People listen to songs and mull the lyrics. Film changes the watcher. So it is in the best interests of fascists to have a strong message delivered via consumable culture.
FASCISTS ATTEMPT TO INFILTRATE EXISTING CULTURE BY INSERTING PRO-FASCIST MESSAGING INTO ALREADY-POPULAR MEDIA. There are so many examples of this happening that you shouldn’t be ignorant of this fact. If left unchecked, fascism will spread through a subculture. See: football hooliganism in Europe, or gun culture in America. An important thing to point out here is that, while not all european football hooligans are fascists, the culture has grown more fascist over time. Same for any fascist incursion into culture.
WE THEREFORE NEED TO PUSH BACK AGAINST FASCIST CULTURAL APPROPRIATION. This is often successful, since people fucking hate fascists. And it’s easy to do, because pretty much any song, story, clothing etc is way cooler without the fascist undertones, so just drop the fascist bit and you’ve got something people will like better. Ask Hugo Boss if you don’t believe me.
Now is that any clearer?
Wow, was going to say pretty much exactly this. Thank you.
Good question.
I don’t like to put words in your mouth, but it seems to me that your point is something along the lines of “Nazis don’t actually steal culture”?
Neither Homeländer nor McPoyle are represented. This is far from definitive.
