  • Python is just glorified shell scripting

    Absolutely not, python is an actual programming language with sane error handling and arbitrarily nestable data structures.

    I don’t like the indentation crap

    Don’t be so superficial. When learning something, go with the flow and try to work with the design choices, not against them.

    Python simply writes a bit differently: you do e.g. more function definitions and list comprehensions.




  • It’s not perfect, but it’s good introductory material for people who fell for the right-wing propaganda of “everybody’s called a fascist now, there isn’t even a definition”.

    Yes, suckers, there are people with an understanding of what fascism is, and they agree for a reason about the dangers of things like calling people vermin, casting doubt on election integrity, and strong man rhetoric.




  • Yeah, the Nazis weren’t really subtle. If you instead maintain a civil front inward for public support, you can wreak havoc more effectively.

    That’s why fascism is a different kind of danger. It wouldn’t leech off of other places for centuries, it would explosively and directly attack internal and external enemies.

    Neither of these things can be risked.
