- Just to interject a reminder:
  The opposite of nazism/fascism is not communism/stalinism, it's lib-left.
  If you passionately hate nazis and all they're about like I do, you see Stalin as the same jackboot with a different color uniform.

Back from Yet Another Globetrotting Adventure, Indiana Jones Checks His Mail and Discovers That His Bid for Tenure Has Been Denied

Funny how indi got me into science

Got perm banned from Reddit because I said all Nazis can go kill themselves. Worth it
- Win win!
- “Nazi lives matter”
- I see this comment a lot on Lemmy and it's disturbing. I too was perma banned for telling a Nazi to "go to hell". 10 year old account with no prior bans.
  
  Welcome to the club. 12 year account for me, I told off some mysgonistic redpiller who called another user a slur, I quoted the slur so he couldn't edit, told him to go fuck himself with a telephone pole, the kind with all the nails from years of posters being posted on it, and then reported him.
  Mods banned me for "incivility and using a gendered slur," took no action on the other user, I appealed it, they acted like pubescent fucksticks, so to keep talking to people I knew in that community I made a new account, then admins perma-IP-banned me for ban evasion.
  I've been fighting this so long that I'm now instantly shadowbanned across all of youtube, google and reddit every time I make a new account. They've gotten very good at silencing users so that their bot-army can simulate human society and adjust our narratives at will. (Yes, google and reddit work together to produce AI bots, they announced it a while back, nobody paid attention.)
- I just said punching. Worth it.
- You can't say that! How am I supposed to kill them myself?
  
  Yeah, kind of "killing the fun" right?! Lmao

I like your take, but I still prefer this iteration:
- Did they reinvent the onion?
- Though the character of Indiana Jones or Harrison Ford as a person aren't really worth to aspire to. Sure, the nazi punching part is great but being a sexist piece of shit isn't...
  
  Don't let perfect be the enemy of good here

I say we normalize this
"Hi, I'm here to punch Nazis and get and an oil change"
Make everyone declare they have no Nazis before you get into business
- Lol. Make a flow chart
  
  Show up.
  Punch nazis.
  ??? (CREATE SOMETHING NEW)
  Profit!!!
- The dairy company Arla would be in trouble if they had to do this :D
  Arla Finland has one of the few most prominent nazis in Finland in their board of directors. There was a bit of a scandal because of this about a year or two ago, but Arla's Finnish daughter company said "we already know, but he has promised not to be a nazi during working hours, and it's every employee's personal choice what they do in their free time." And Finland was okay with that (!!)
  Guess if I have bought their products even once after that? 🙃
  
  Well in that case, I suggest you show up and demand they submit their Nazi for punching so you can buy milk from them

Remember kids, the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi!
- Also Grammar nazis

I'm here to drink milk and kill nazis... and I'm lactose intolerant. >:(
- Gas the nazis?
  
  That's just inhumane lol.
- I like soy milk and dead nazis :3
  
  Soy is delicious and I don't know why it's an insult lol.

The humanities do not tolerate inhumanity
- Well said. If they did, they wouldn't really be humane. Allowing unnecessary suffering is inhumane.

It's sad, but for studies that don't result in income for the government, they're just not interested in funding it. You wanna know about philosophy? Tough shit. We need more people for the fulfillment centers, you better get good at holding in your pee.
- I have a hard time understanding why we should fund philosophy studies with government money. I would need some convincing.
  Feel free to comment here your best arguments for it.
  
  Do you want anyone other than priests advising government officials on ethics? Then you want philosophy majors.

humanity is a contract not a gift

Humanities core

What if they cut the funding so that people spend their time punching other people?
To me, it seems like a Luke and the emperor scene. They want the hate.
Humanities don't need funding for expensive laboratories. What's holding back people from making their own college?
- My point is not that fascism is just hate. I am sure you understood it though because you made your position clear.
  Still I am intrigued to read more about your theories. That STEM and humanities meetup or the complex philosophical system that I don't understand, could you give me a hint on where to start digging?
- Humanities don't need funding for expensive laboratories
  i suppose so as long as all your humanities knowledge is already solved with no need to travel to new places, study new locations, or talk to new people
  
  According to wikipedia, humanities neither include archeology nor sociology:
  The humanities include the academic study of philosophy, religion, history, language arts (literature, writing, oratory, rhetoric, poetry, etc.), the performing arts (theater, music, dance, etc.), and the visual arts (painting, sculpture, photography, filmmaking, etc.)
  There is no need to travel. The people who research are either there or can be reached via internet.
