the other part of this is that while Nazis might make some factual claims, the central claim of fascist movements is not an objective or falsifiable one. they’re claiming that they, the ingroup, are the rightful inheritors of power. you can’t argue with that, you can only fight it

I’m a bit concerned about how my reading this year is 90% nonfiction. But there’s nothing I can do to change that at the moment.

Leclerc is going to close the door on Lewis on Sunday. Won’t make the same mistake twice. I just hope Mercedes’s race pace is better.

This wasn’t an easy read. But a necessary one.

Yesterday young Ghanaians hit the streets to protest economic hardships and were met with the full force of the police. About 50 people were detained and finally released after the pressure from young lawyers and activists. www.npr.org/2023/09/21/1...

Hamilton’s grievance with the FIA/FOM is 10x as legitimate as Massa’s, yet he has chosen to move forward. It speaks to the type of person he is in more ways than one, other people put in the same situation (e.g. Alonso) would burn the sport to the ground.

Even though I find this amusing, I’m happy at least someone wants to put up a fight. Something Mercedes doesn’t seem to want to do.
Massa’s legal team in fact seeks to overturn the 2008 championship, not receive financial compensation:
