It’s selfish I know, but just seeing all people from the North complaining about how horribly hot it is right now makes me quite scared of how things will be looking down south later in the year. I’m enjoying my ~15º C right now but it can get stupidly hot where I live in the summer and I’m really not looking forward to seeing shopping mall Santa Clauses melting into puddles come Christmas.

There’s very little official talk of preparing for the summer here and I bet most people will just become surprised airfried pikachu if we also get our heat records.

    It’s not specific to tech libertarians. It is mostly used by right wing traditionalists who are also often just straight up nazis. It’s related to an imagined cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

      It’s almost comical how Nazis will reach way back in time to find some obscure text or occult symbol to justify racism. Their reasoning becomes so convoluted and cryptic. To deconstruct it becomes difficult and I think that’s the point. It seems as if because it’s so complicated and old, it must be true. Like King Arthur.

      Note to Nazis: If you use King Arthur to justify racism , I want residuals.

        Going back to a “glorious past” is part of fascism. But those hindu mythologisms are also deeply rooted in nazism itself. That is how they got a swastika and the word “aryan”
