  • if you’re searching for something general, like, i dunno “dishwasher cleaner” or something, it spits out usable results.

    but as soon as a query becomes technical in nature, like troubleshooting IT problems, it’s a straight up nightmare.

    the reason it’s so bad at searching for anything very specific is their attempt to “figure out what you really mean”:

    and google does that by… ignoring what you typed and changing your search prompt behind the scenes without telling you and without any options to change it.

    and putting it in quotes rarely improves searches anymore, only spits out more garbage.

    point is: google is basically dead for any specific searches and only really works for searches that amount to “i want to buy thing. show me thing.”


  • was it?

    i always thought that’s mostly because german fascists dragged both of those countries into war by attacking them, which caused severe backlash by proxy, and not really antifa being particularly effective in those countries.

    explains why the U.S., despite having a large fascist movement at the time, reversed course and turned on fascism as an ideology (in public); they got attacked.

    same in Britain; early attacks in the war, plus some lingering resentment from WWI, combined overcoming a push towards fascism…

    I’d love to hear/read more about successful antifa movements in the UK/US, but that’s what I’ve always thought/read were the major reasons for failing fascist movements in those countries: other fascists…
