Rowling is alive and very active, though. This isn’t a tenous connection by way of vague association, the author in question is (1) alive, (2) profits from buying their shit and (3) uses that money to make the world worse.

You’re hoping for people to unknowingly support a transphobic activist? For the sake of enjoying a mediocre book series? Odd priorities.

Go tell this to a fencepost near your home.

No, it’s not. Standard error of the mean estimate is SD/sqrt(n-1), so it depends on the signal/effect to noise ratio how much you can learn from it. SE of the mean difference for a between subjects design is slightly different but not miles off from that. You can squeeze even more info out of it by using within subjects designs.

What makes you think a sample size of 50 is irrelevant?

Killing and reversing are different levels of difficult.

Cool, can you show how big the effect is, based on your team’s efforts? And what the distribution of values is, based on sponsor?

Can you conceive of other motivations?

Do you believe that the point of such assignments is because the teacher desires to read a couple dozen nigh-identical essays on the topic at hand?

Yeah there is. The law isn’t run on cartoon logic where you can get around a ban by putting on a fake mustache and a hat.

Re-forming with a new name is covered by the ban.

The rules they’d have to comply with to circumvent the ban are antithetical to what they are.

You can play the game, but flipping the table cannot be a legal move.

Don’t believe nazi propaganda about those things. They were largely inefficient and disorganized, they just predated others to fuel their goals. It’s one of the economic reasons for waging war on everyone: once you use up your local stolen wealth, you gotta raid other people’s. Nazi organizational structures were famously broken, with different redundant levels of political control pitted against each other, in line with social darwinist ideas.

And by far not all Nazis were true believers. Tons were “merely” playing along, because they thought they’d get something out of it. They often did, with the wealth of previously Jewish owned (and other) companies being handed to people close to the leadership.

These are parallels, not contrasts.

They are replaceable, it just takes some tools and work, both of which you can get at the phone repair shop.

Use none, support none

What makes you think sexy peach is American? They might be, but I can think of a few indicators to the contrary.

What, she’s not very tall?

Those of us are wrong, then. Fascism isn’t some inherently abstract force of nature, it’s people and organizations of people. Those social structures can be disrupted, and the major question whose answer determines the means of disruption is whether the earlier responses were appropriately timed and powered.

I prefer the situation where fascist-attitude people are individuals who need treatment rather than one where fascism is not just an attitude of individuals but a structural problem requiring e.g. law enforcement involvement or even a full-societal issue requiring outside military involvement.

Didn’t they largely leave to join the BSW querfront? I actually don’t know the numbers, but at least some of the more prominent RF aligned people left the Left.

The ease with which they can build such structures would go down. Building while hiding is harder than building while not having to hide.

Having central coordination, for example in the form of a party or some other form of organization, means that strategic goals can be planned for and resources acquired and allocated in a more efficient manner. The previous bigger neonazi party, the NPD, fulfilled that role for quite a while.

Organizations and people are not that interchangeable for these purposes. Workflows, institutional memory, leadership all matter. That’s why targeted assassinations of leadership even in cell-like structures can meaningfully disrupt e.g. terrorist organizations’ effectiveness. Similar things can be accomplished by simply disrupting business-as-usual.
