  • Protest isn't going to bring back "american democracy" or stop the genocides or bring back reproductive rights. It can be used to limited effect, though, against a fascist regime like the one in the colonies right now.

    Wikipedia on Open Protests against Nazi Germany

    Hitler recognized the power of collective action, advocated non-compliance toward unworthy authority (e.g. the 1923 French occupation of the Ruhr), and brought his party to power in part by mobilizing public unrest and disorder to further discredit the Weimar Republic.[49] In power, Nazi leaders quickly banned extra-party demonstrations, fearing displays of dissent on open urban spaces might develop and grow, even without organization. To direct attention away from dissent, the Nazi state appeased some public, collective protests by "racial" Germans and ignored but did not repress others, both before and during the war. The regime rationalized appeasement of public protests as temporary measures to maintain the appearance of German unity and reduce the risk of alienating the public through blatant Gestapo repression.

    Wikipedia on the Rosentrasse Protest

    The Rosenstrasse protest was the only mass public demonstration by Germans in the Third Reich against the deportation of Jews.[1] The protest on Rosenstraße ("Roses street") took place in Berlin during February and March 1943.

    This demonstration was initiated and sustained by the non-Jewish wives and relatives of Jewish men and Mischlinge, (those of mixed Jewish and Aryan heritage). Their husbands had been targeted for deportation, based on the racial policy of Nazi Germany, and detained in the Jewish community house on Rosenstrasse. The protests, which occurred over the course of seven days, continued until the men being held were released by the Gestapo. The protest by the women of the Rosenstrasse led to the release of approximately 1,800 Berlin Jews.

  • Fuck AI @lemmy.world

    How does it make you feel when people use LLMs like search engines and then hand you extruded text as though it is factual? Have you seen IRL or just on boards?

  • Here's a book about people describing similar experiences during the nazification of another country, it's called They Thought They Were Free. I'm going to spoiler a link to a copy so it doesn't autoload a swastika on our cool people board. This book isn't about politics, it's about how it feels when your country falls to fascism.
