I did not make the image nor did I post it for any reason other than to show how someone might get the impression that NATO had ties to fascism. My own personal beliefs are immaterial here. It does raise the question of “why so many Nazis?” though. Were there not any Allied military officers that were qualified?

But can you see that it’s not exactly a good look? I mean why hire ANY Nazis at all when there had to be plenty of other military officers from non Axis forces? Much less eight Nazis.

Using a cartoon character to make your point doesn’t exactly give me confidence in your assessment. I posted the picture to show that someone MIGHT get the impression there was something fishy going on at NATO from the get-go. I made no particular statement about it. However if it goosestepped like a Nazi…

Well there IS this:

But if their actions are a direct result of their genes and environment, how is that something to be “responsible” for? Are you responsible for being born without legs? The punitive (fine people money they probably don’t have anyway) carceral (kick the can of building better conditions down the road for another generation to deal with) system was built primarily to oppress minorities anyhow, so why defend it? Toss it on the scrap heap of history and build something less horrific.

Do you not see the inherent contradiction in that? Our system punishes people for being products of their environment interacting with their genes. Not reform, PUNISHMENT. Do you take away a child’s toys for getting sick?

The punitive carceral “justice” system is no kind of justice.

Where’s my blowtorch?

Ah, I can understand that. Interface can make or break it for sure. I just play my guitars straight into a tube amp 99% though I use a piece of software to convert the guitar signal into MIDI for playing synths the other 1% of the time, so DJ equipment and workflow are outside my area of expertise. Just recall my friend doing DJ stuff and no one ever questioned the setup and everyone seemed to have a good time :)

Just install OpenBSD and be done with it.

Have you tried something like Mixx and a MIDI controller of some sort? I really don’t know all that much about the minutiae of DJing, but a friend used to DJ parties a lot with just his laptop and Mixx and that was like 20 years ago or somesuch.

Dr. Evil would tend to disagree.

No they are people who study the China Science.
