  • Why does a Nazi attack a leftist org of all things? Instead of their professed hated groups: immigrants or jews? The original Nazis used those two groups as sources of communism/socialism/marxism in Europe/Germany.

    The cause that Nazis, especially the actual, literal Nazis from history, have used the most to legitimize themselves is anti-communism.




  • You can have the money and still be charged overdraft fees.

    Consider multiple accounts under one number, all set up to transfer money between them for free and with no limits. But once you spend from an account without enough funds allocated, then that money transfer will cost money, usually $30-40.

    Real life application: When a medical biller uses the wrong card on file they can rack you up some hefty charges before you know it, and the bank usually only forgives one fee, not the eleven extra ones the biller triggered by making separate, itemized charges.

    All the bank was doing was moving the money from a savings account with the same number, and then charging a fee for that. And only a bank can charge and collect in one action.

    I dismantled the automatic transfer system that had been set up since it was just a fee scam. Now payments just fail if I haven’t allocated the money to the debit account.

    But it’s still a scam, even if you consider benevolent credit extensions. Extending this credit is not costing them $30-40 per transaction. Walmart can just write off thefts of under $20, for tangental context.






  • The USSR existed for a while after Stalin and Beria. They’ve been dead for 75 years.

    It existed before them too. Hell, the entire space race happened after.

    But then again if “perfectly fair socialist democracy” is being matched against a “perfectly fair capitalist democracy” then sure. It’s as absurd to apply that concept to the USSR as it would be to the USA.

    But mostly people don’t view the USSR as a boogeyman anymore, so they don’t need or care for reinforcing the old Epstein class narratives.

    So maybe we can all pretend it is innocent, but what you linked here just looks like the telltale sign of well known agitators on the Fediverse. Like, I am sure you felt like you were championing truth or something, but you just made posts routinely made common by the kind of folks here that actually support ICE and Epstein.
