Varoufakis argues global elites are following a “blueprint for the revival of fascism”, one he imagines dictators Mussolini, Hitler and Franco might have written “had [they] gotten together in 1945”.

He told the audience the modern “manual” starts by attacking crony capitalism, big business and financial elite — views traditionally associated with the political left – before turning against democratic institutions such as public broadcasters and universities.

    I think ‘Image’ overrides ‘URL’ (i.e. your post can be a link, or it can be an image, not both). I think what you’ll want to do is use the ‘Thumbnail URL’ field instead.

      Thank you. I’ll use the Thumbnail URL. Can you explain to me the difference? I am not very tech-savvy.

        I can’t find any documentation describing the purpose of each field, but here’s what I reckon the situation is:

        ‘URL’ and ‘Image’ are fields for the main content of a post (which is why you can only actually specify one).

        ‘Thumbnail URL’, on the other hand, is a field for providing additional data for nicely displaying the post.

        In Lemmy, the way an image specified in ‘Image’ or ‘Thumbnail URL’ is actually displayed is the same, but I suspect the two fields could be displayed differently in some other Fediverse application.
