Donald Trump and Fascism
Some scholars have argued that the political style of Donald Trump resembles the political style of fascist leaders. Such assessments were first made during Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign,[37][38] continuing over the course of the Trump presidency as he appeared to court far-right extremists,[39][40][41][42]including his attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election after losing to Joe Biden,[43] and culminating in the 2021 United States Capitol attack.[44] As these events have unfolded, some commentators who had initially resisted applying the label to Trump came out in favor of it, including conservative legal scholar Steven G. Calabresi and conservative commentator Michael Gerson.[45][46] After the attack on the Capitol, Robert O. Paxton, a historian of fascism, went so far as to state that Trump is a fascist, despite his earlier objection to using the term in this way.[47] In “Trump and the Legacy of a Menacing Past”, Henry Girouxwrote: “The inability to learn from the past takes on a new meaning as a growing number of authoritarian regimes emerge across the globe. This essay argues that central to understanding the rise of a fascist politics in the United States is the necessity to address the power of language and the intersection of the social media and the public spectacle as central elements in the rise of a formative culture that produces the ideologies and agents necessary for an American-style fascism.”[48]Other historians of fascism, such as Richard J. Evans,[49] Roger Griffin, and Stanley Payne, continue to disagree that fascism is an appropriate term to describe Trump’s politics.[44] Jason Stanley argued in 2018 that Trump uses “fascist techniques to excite his base and erode liberal democratic institutions”.[50]

Realised a lot of people had audio interfaces with spare unused ADAT connectors
Seemed a logical extension to the other interfaces Arturia make.
SO… If ya have spare ADAT In or Out on your current interface, you can now just add 8 more sockets to your setup!

FUCK RACISM
Born and raised in a VERY racist homeland.
Sadly watched as people known to me* succumbed to the viral toxicity.
Now sickening to see even the idea of racism, being inverted by the right wing…that acknowledgment of those things is now a thought crime in Aust .
Interesting / hilarious to see some of these people deciding to self identify as being racist ‘outed‘ by this comment despite not being named)
The definition of self incrimination! Narcissists will Narcissist!
