I thought gacha referred to the lootbox mechanic, how core are anime girls to gacha gaming? Actually curious.

That lesson was always the point of monopoly of course:

The game is named after the economic concept of a monopoly—the domination of a market by a single entity. The game is derived from The Landlord's Game, created in 1903 in the United States by Lizzie Magie, as a way to demonstrate that an economy rewarding individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth.[1][6] It also served to promote the economic theories of Henry George—in particular, his ideas about taxation.[7] The Landlord's Game originally had two sets of rules, one with tax and another on which the current rules are mainly based.

We're talking about intelligence here, a concept that comes with a lot of baggage, so I agree that it's good to be precise. Critical thinking skills and good decision-making is definitely part of what I meant when I posted my comment.

In my opinion, your use of the term is in danger of

  1. essentializing intelligence: "This fascist may have a good education and specialized skills, but they are not in and of themselves intelligent." I think it's better to think of intelligence as a contingent and situational social effect rather than as an inherent property of a person.
  2. becoming a tautology: "Intelligent people could never support this, therefore I know that all fascists are stupid." This type of argument just dosn't hold.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that fascism appeals to the uneducated and unintelligent, but it would be a mistake to reduce it to a function of intellect, or an "ideology of the stupid". There's plenty of dangerous, sincere fascists who are quite intelligent in all useful meanings of the word.

No doubt that they do. I'm just not sure if it's productive to say that this is an inherent characteristic to fascist propaganda, or if that's trivializing the issue, since many intelligent and educated people are also drawn to it. Minor point of distinction though, I grant you that.

Last weekend a friend told me that they're involved in an activist group that focuses on political education for people with learning disabilities and severe mental health issues. The activists' reasoning is that this group of people is very susceptible to fascist narratives, and prone to social isolation when they start adopting or simply repeating fascist world views.

Fascists of course have no trouble claiming that support as validation for their politics, and votes are votes, after all. One could even argue that fascist propaganda inherently targets people with reduced intellectual capabilities.

This post made me think of that.

A study in my hometown found that shopkeepers are mostly concerned about their own commute, not decrease of patrons.

What's more, they require you to periodically log in on your phone. If you exclusively use the desktop client, you will get a message that access will be blocked if you don't sign in on your phone.

 

Die Dokuserie bietet einen fesselnden, noch nie da gewesenen Einblick in den Alltag von Rettungskräften der Bergwacht und zeigt echte Einsätze in den bayerischen Alpen - hautnah und in beeindruckenden Bildern.

Ich habe seit langem mal wieder was aus der ARD-Mediathek empfohlen bekommen, und diese Doku-Serie hat mich beeindruckt. Das Konzept klingt vielleicht erst etwas abgelutscht, aber es ist wirklich gut produziert und macht Spaß zu schauen.
