Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.
FOSS nerds: the Torment Nexus cannot be ethical until it is Open Source
2024 voters is prob like ~8.5% with a wide margin of error. Voting eligible is much harder imo. One interesting heuristic is sub counts for political micro-influencers if you wanna get a rough rule of thumb.
Voting eligible or voted in last election?
1. Anna Karenina
2. The plague
3. Parable of the Sower
4. Invisible Cities
5. The dispossessed
It’s not. Things can get so so so much worse.
Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.
You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.
Barbarians? Yikes - you mean the indigenous peoples of Europe and the Italian peninsula?
Not to be too critical but when Rome was most effective martially, every man was a solider and they were conquering more intellectual opponents like Carthage.
Who is the best primary candidate to replace him?
Regardless of her interviews, she has destroyed the credibility of the publication.
Yes - they want rioting. They want martial law. They want justification to suspend elections without pissing off their heavily armed rural base that aren’t already motivated by christian nationalism or outright fascism.
The economist has lost all credibility since Zanny Beddoes became the editor. It used to be one of the best publications.
Disengagement and lack of good faith participation by the alleged perpetrator is the primary friction.
I have also seen a lot that restorative/transformative justice practices take a lot from the facilitators, often folks are giving hundreds of person hours with no perceived changes.
Can you cite some examples of functional restorative justice systems?
Every text I have read, which are mostly published by explicitly leftist and anarchist publishers are pretty clear that almost all attempts to actually apply restorative justice principles in real examples like SA fail.
lol - that is not at all how Putin and Surkov operate what are you talking about?
Maybe we should take lessons from movements and strategies that actually achieved their aims? Those students were crushed and their organizers were imprisoned.
I unequivocally agree. I just wanted to distinguish between traditional conceptions of ‘the left’ and the contemporary diaspora that includes post-left progressives like the abundance yimbys and resist libs, neo tankies like the hasanites, or the online intersectional slacktivist crowd.
That publication is not popular with almost anyone on the far left. It has like 3000 youtube followers and it doesn’t even classify as a micro influencer on insta. It is extremely niche.
You either don’t understand what constitutes the far left or you are unhinged.
what will it take to make it clear to everyone (particularly the public) that social media and large online platforms are the root cause of much our current problems from fascism, to mental health, and the environment
I hope your value system emphasizes community defense enough to actually defeat those south dakota values. Victims of state violence have a tendency to not consent to it. History shows that what really matters is the capacity to reciprocate.
Blue State elected leaders need to really start talking about building, economic, and mutual aid blocks now that it’s clear the federal government is going to defund any state that is not capitulating.
Taxes need to be collected only by the states and the federal government must be left to rot.
Just pointing out that these are not necessarily exclusive states.
It can be both catastrophic and inevitable.
Raise your hand if being falsely indicted and eventually acquitted would bankrupt you
well I am certainly not out here misgendering people
lmfao - good luck virtue signaling fascism away. Let me know when you actually start building a better future, maybe we can collaborate to feed people, deliver necessary medical care to those that don’t have it, and housing folks that are sleeping rough.
You’re a fucking idiot - you see someone gently critiquing your lazy ass approach and your small mind can only assume I am a bad faith actor. Seriously - go connect with your local mutual aid group
Eat shit. Fascism depends on your inaction to function.
Lol ok - keep telling yourself that.
I am saying that posting an average of 30 times a day about bullshit is problematic and people should organize offline and spend less time on this hell app.
