  • Nazism isn’t “banned” per se, at least in the U.S. as the First Amendment does not allow for viewpoint discrimination, however repugnant a viewpoint might be. But the First Amendment does not protect against cultural, social, or other forms of non-government backlash for those who support disgusting ideologies like Nazism.

    So there is no “banning” that could take place of the Zionist viewpoint, if we were to consider it on par with Nazism. By and large in the U.S., Zionism and Nazism are not seen as equally repugnant viewpoints in the cultural landscape, hence the difference in how supporters of these views are treated. Hope that makes sense.





  • Hmmm. Booted a live version of Ubuntu off a USB stick and got the same result: No mounting of a thumbdrive on USB-C but it worked on USB-A. This is the second time I’ve had something like this happen with Ubuntu. I bought an X1 Gen 9 and the computer just stopped recognizing the battery. I was within the return period so I just sent it back and got the Gen 12. Now, I’m having a USB-C issue.

    I haven’t had any damage or physical issues that would explain a loss of the usb-c ports. Additionally, the ports still work to charge the computer, so they physically must be working (at least in some capacity). I’m stumped.

    Edit: Now that I think about it, the only thing I can think of is that I recently bought a UGreen 65W power brick. It’s the same wattage as my official lenovo charger. I wonder if that is behind it.
