A historian gives an explainer on how neo-Nazis have used computers since the mid-1980s (before the Internet) to organize & spread propoganda.

No pay wall.

Liebe Europäische Kommission, liebes EU-Parlament: Wie lange wollt ihr noch Content für einen Kanal liefern, dessen Eigentümer euch auflösen will und der eure Reichweite drosselt? Dieser Ort ist eine Jauchegrube. Raus da! Geht lieber dahin, wo Demokratie kein Hassobjekt ist.

Quite sweet really that so many in the US still believe they have a supreme court rather than a third legislative chamber of 9 members appointed for life with power to change the law unilaterally for whatever reason they fancy. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/06/o...

"The sun rises. It is always doing that."
For those lines alone, Nuzzi should be immortalized as the worst living published writer in the world.
