Heißt, der Beschluss ist wieder nur reiner Populismus? Ich hatte wirklich gehofft, dass dies die große Revolution wäre.

Because?

“Master Race” will still be referring to this kind of “We are over everything, because our race is over everything” narrative.

The inflationary use of these words leads to generalization in common usage and removes taboos from them. Of course, one could argue that this loses its initial “power”. However, language changes very slowly and the terminology of the past remains. People will see you as people who see themselves above everyone else because of their operating system.

It also empowers Right Wing People and adopts narratives and disseminates ideas from that movement.

Small side info: In Germany, football clubs that would describe themselves as „master race“ would quickly end up on the list of enemies of the constitution, for the simple reason that it also attracts certain alt-rights, as I can see from this post.

The main problem with your argument is that this is not an e.g. racist insult, but a glorification. People are using faggot for themselves to fight the negativity of the word, but by using the word race, you will always recreate racism.

And while we’re on the subject of Nazi words, we can also adopt other terms: how about „Windows concentration camps“? (It’s funny, Isn’t it?)

Ok, my mistake, but does this change the fact that the term still characterizes structural racism? Also, due to the nature of anonymity, we cannot know much about the motivations of any particular person on the internet. 4chan and alt right are exactly where you least expect them to be.

You know that this was being said multiple times in the last 10 years?

Funny how people are creating bullshit by taking about things they don’t know.

Hint: Blockchain is more than just currency and when your centralised e-mail server is taken down with all of your e-mail’s, than you will think back at people who did the switch to decentralisation.

Another hint: Ethereum did lower its CO2 emissions by 99%, just by changing its code. Can your 100% virtual currency, parked at your favorite bank in a country like sweden, where there is no cash anymore, do the same?
