      Agreed, I think the author’s feeling towards this is commendable in spirit, but to let a generic phrase be forever attached to a political movement in any setting is a bit much, even if it’s infamously memorable, it doesn’t belong to Nazis.
      Still, it’s just a name change, so, aside from a few lines of code to change, it doesn’t badly affect anyone. All power to the author

        It’s not a big deal to change the name, and it masks actual Nazi use of the language.

      It’s case-by-case. Fascists are going to invade and appropriate every shred of culture they can find. But some of their choice culture is so toxic that they will own it for a long time. “Final Solution” and “Concentration Camp”. But others like “living space” are probably not forever nazi.

        “Living space”, like? Displacing other peoples to provide an ideal amount of population density to your own people is still not OK. Or it should be anyway.

    Good, but the way the developer spells “nazy” makes me to follow the quoted advice on my own brain process:

    if you want to change the wallpaper during runtime, you must pkill the daemon, and then start it again

    Now if only the GIMP maintainers would come to their senses.

    Edit: corrected “it” to “if”.

      I see what you’re saying, but the fact that it can be ambiguous is actually what makes it so useful to fascist organizers.

      They thrive on phrases that allow them to wink at each other when they want to, but claim innocence if someone calls them out.

        Isn’t that something done by any group being oppressed and not in power, regardless of what kind of cause they are for?
        e.g. those who had capoeira and similar things that had martial arts disguised as other stuff, back when they couldn’t practice partial arts.

        Though I find it hard to understand why they still have to wink now, when there are literal state-sanctioned groups of armed people-robbers around, who are also fine getting filmed in the act.
        When multiple countries’ governments have switched from turning a blind eye, to actually endorsing such actions, what more are these groups trying to accomplish by using these deniability tactics?
