There are a number of examples I can give but the immediately most obvious that springs to mind is Mark Collett, who can be seen in this picture with his ex-girlfriend who has a large visible swastika tattoo.

The British Movement, formerly known as the British National Socialist Movement also have a presence on both sites. One of their primary catch phrases is, "No more brother wars." which refers to WW2 as a war between different sects of the "Aryan race". It means that those sects should not be fighting each other but instead non-white people and Jewish people.

As I say, I can point to more but I think those give you the picture. I should probably also add that its a common quippy clap-back for these types to say "so... huh... everyone you disagree with is a Nazi" themselves. The function of this is to muddy the waters and propagandise the questioning of whether or not their ideology is as bad as those who directly oppose them state. It means that they get to spread their ideas by a proxy to onlookers.

I think its important to highlight that Odysee and Rumble are both "free speech" platforms that neo-nazis love to use to platform their calls for violence.

The anti-vax conspiracy crowd in Britain is heavily SovCit. They seem to think the magna Carta means they can be selfish arseholes

If you keep an eye on names and faces present at far right demonstrations, usually the same ones pop up all the time. I'm surprised this is the first instanceof the two. Unite the Right and Jan 6 were just the most famous in recent memory. A lot of Jan 6ers have also attacked Drag Queen Story Hours as just another example.

Misogyny and transphobia, as per usual. The build instructions used "he" and bug reports and pull requests have been denied and given edgy responses.

It makes sense considering they ran a contest for a cybertruck

I remember almost a decade ago, the Oneplus 2 not having it was a major downside. I can't believe we are still doing this song and dance.

In Europe, its not uncommon for nurses and paramedics to volunteer on weekend nights around cities, primarily to supplement the underfunded and understaffed ambulance service by patrolling with a first aid kit and defibrillator since it gets easy credits towards their degrees. While there is a working relationship with Police, its pretty established in those roles that keeping the cops at a bit of a distance tends to be for the better. If you have the cops about, people tend to lie more and get worse care because of it. They also tend to consent less. I'm not saying incidents don't happen, but having cops about causes more of then than it prevents.

I wonder if it has the feature of being able to introduce bad public transport options where you can stick a train station in the middle of some busy road lanes on each side, put Parkway on the end of the name and call it a day.

We should always strip bonuses from CEOs of companies like DB when they make such a mess of key infrastructure. Richard Lutz got €440,000 after his salary last December. That being said, they don't need the money in the first place. The railways themselves do, as do the people paying the excessive price of tickets right now.

If you are in Britain, the places where anyone actually travels wouldn't mind hands in pockets in the same way elbows on tables is fine. Outer suburbs and the Tory heartlands might get wound up if there isn't a festival on but there legitimately isn't much reason to go there outside of that.

I don't think I will ever feel comfortable learning NixOS since they accepted a sponsorship from Anduril until there was community backlash. Anduril performs violent border survailence for the US government and are responsible for a huge amount of death and suffering.
