Indeed. Despite their many glaring flaws neither the Israeli nor American governments are fascist so the former Redhatter is right in that you should discount the associated opinion when encountering that phrase.

Given that a number of professors on authoritarian politics staunchly disagree with that assessment, I will trust them and their years of research experience over the unwarranted confidence of some HN anon.

If you add the false electors scheme to Jan 6, it certainly looks like he had a real crack at subverting the election.

>Palestine would still be a liberal democracy

When was Palestine a liberal democracy?

PA

Their brief democratic period was inconvenient to Israel, which is why when Netanyahu decided to fund Hamas, he first said that Hamas is important to keep Palestine divided.

One preference the US public seems to reliably deliver via elections is the desire for lower prices.

Trump said "repeal and replace Obamacare" so many times during his first term I can clearly hear it in my head in his voice.

Not only Trump. Most Republicans want to repeal. They are just struggling a little with the replace part.

Why would you never buy a Chinese car?

I'd be worried about safety in a crash, safety with regard to battery fires, and then privacy / tracking issues. It's easy to say that these issues are just as bad for non-Chinese cars, but that's not true. As recently as 2024, you could get base model Nissans with no telematics systems whatsoever (this may still be true in 2026, I'm just unaware) and the Ford Maverick's Telematics system has a single fuse that you can easily remove without affecting any other system.

And it looked so bad that Trump pulled ICE out of Minnesota.

Pretty different set of circumstances to shooting tens of thousands of your own citizens.

I wonder what kind of workloads people are putting through it. Presumably all tokens submitted are used to train on.

Replying to you since the rage guy is flagged.

If anyone wants to avoid twitter, just set up a browser redirector that sends you to the relevant xcancel page. I haven't seen the native Ttitter interface for months now. Don't put the expectation on HN when it's so easy to fix yourself.

I already do this, but I don't think HN should be implicitly condoning a Nazi website by linking to it.
