"Fascism has become the dominant political system of the world". Not "has become", "has always" Do people not study history or psychology? The underlying issue is as old as humanity. You can't engineer yourself out of a human problem. Rather than always trying to tech everything up, people need to consider the downsides to their inventions. Technology has changed, humanity hasn't.


>Nuclear weapons have been used to murder around 260.000 people over the course of human history. The people who committed that crime have never been held to account

Plus a lot of Nazis were murdered, what a joke. Who the fuck is stupid enough to up vote this shit?
