sadly, by becoming so nasty about he, he guaranteed neither thing will ever change

Auschwitz is in Poland, but in fairness he probably would have known that if there were more Hitler statues

It's even dumber than that. The relics of the Third Reich that still stand are Mahnmale. Dachau still exists, but there is a lot of effort involved to contextualise it in history and explain its past. If you walk through Dachau and don't feel extremely uncomfortable there's something deeply wrong with you.

Germany does not have Mengele overlooking its hospital lobbies, or Hitler on a pedestal in the town centre.

I mean yeah I know there's the "I am definitely not a nazi I just have very complicated theories about race science and nationalism" lot but I was under the impression that people who out and out say "hello yes I am a literal nazi" run into some problems.

The modern Nazi wears a suit for the cameras, but internally it's as ugly as ever and nothing ever happens to them. Race science isn't that popular because it died with a bang in the Führerbunker, that's more of a thing totally internalised in US culture. But German Nazis do import a lot of other US propaganda, so there's a lot of talk about the Weltjudentum and Kulturbolschewismus, just using American words instead of the originals. They also imported the sovcit model whole cloth.

The Verfassungsschutz, the agency responsible for countering those threats, has been implicated in a number of murders committed by Nazis. Maaßen, who led the Verfassungsschutz for quite a while, even coached the Nazi party on how to evade surveillance by his own agency. They increased their focus on the left instead.

Now, to be fair, Maaßen got ousted eventually, and being a Nazi is a lot less tolerated in Germany than many other places, but it's not exactly peachy either. You can't go sieg heiling in public, but you can certainly achieve 15% of the vote with dogwhistling.

The thing is, anglos are _extremely_ censorious in a very specific way. They generally concentrate all their efforts on policing the form of words, so you get inane stuff like "darn" instead of "drat", constant replacements of single letters in words like "sh*t" as if it changed the meaning of the word. You can express your sincere desire to exterminate a people, but if you say a bad word while doing it, that's when you cross the line.

With the advent of the Online, this got translated into word filters. Word filters are asinine since they don't know about context and are filled by the knuckleheads who think word filters are a good idea. These filters have a ton of by-catch. This is called the Scunthorpe problem, a clbuttic case of a self-inflicted technical solution to a non-existent problem.

Since the creators of these systems are generally intellectually lazy they will turn them on everywhere they can do the most harm. In name fields for example, so if someone's name contain the letters of a Bad Word, they'll get blocked or turned into someone else. That's how Mr. Gay turns into Mr. Homosexual (a real case, not making this one up).

Since the creators of these systems are also morons, they don't consider other languages either. I remember being unable to link an item in an MMO because the bad word filter triggered on their own translation. "Heilen" means "to heal" in German, but that's lost on the monoglot simpletons who think word filters are a good idea.

Since the creators of these systems are aggressively stupid, they don't know how language actually works, so they just do substring matches. So good luck trying to "assess" something. You can't. The letter police will ban you for using naughty substrings.

Now, however, we've entered the age of "AI". So people got the brilliant idea to feed their garbage data into a black box that they can't explain. The AlGoRiTHm trained on their garbage decides things but its behaviour can't be explained. A system trained on a list of bad words would find new and inventive ways of being sh*t, seeing naughty words everywhere even if they aren't. Since they can't explain the thing, but the thing must be right, they just say vaguely that "the system" has decided, "for security".


tl;dr if you see someone advocating word filters, give them a wedgie. If they are ML people, make them hit themselves so hard they give themselves a concussion.

Yeah, the problem is that the function has a lot of repeat code, but also if/then slides are really wasteful. Generally, you'd try to use a more efficient approach.

Python code:
def is_even(number: int) -> bool:
    ending_to_even = {
        '0': True,
        '1': False,
        '2': True,
        '3': False,
        '4': True,
        '5': False,
        '6': True,
        '7': False,
        '8': True,
        '9': False
    }
    return ending_to_even[str(number)[-1:]]
See, you only need to look at the last part of a number to deduce whether it is even or not. So you can basically write this implementation in two lines, as Data Graham has said. (It's in multiple lines for readability, but this is two lines of actual code)

These people can't conceive of abstract things like ideology or philosophy, to them everything has to be akin to a company with people in charge directing underlings to do their bidding (i.e. how they like their party to work).

To them Antifa is basically Spectre; there can't just exist a very large demographic loosely tied together by the idea that authoritarian white supremacists are bad.

It's ridiculous because those "membership cards" are always so over the top and obviously not real.
