Do as I say, not as I do, I guess. todon.nl/@mar/1148587184260965…
I've just finished reading _Technofeudalism_ by Yanis Varoufakis. If he's right, then it's politically urgent to escape from the clutches of Meta, Google, Amazon and the like as soon as possible.Varoufakis' arguments reminded me of _Chokepoint Capitalism_ by Rebecca Giblin and @pluralistic, though according to Varoufakis the dominance of Amazon and the like has killed off capitalism and is a form of feudalism. I still want to compare these two analyses more carefully.
But Varoufakis' argument is: these platforms have managed to lure people in to work for them for free, and with every post and update on their platforms, these exploitative and massively dangerous companies grow stronger and harder to defeat. On the other hand, if the people take back social media and the internet more generally, there's a real opportunity for building a counter-movement with these technologies.
The lesson I take from this: getting people to quit the capitalist platforms and join the #Fediverse is part of political organisation, and possibly an important part if you consider the way people are tethered to their Instagram and Tiktok.
Let me repeat this: Convincing and helping comrades to quit the capitalist platforms and join the Fediverse is an important form of revolutionary political organisation. ✊

Finally finished Careless People, and first of all: definitely recommend if you want a better idea of how the insides of some of these tech companies function in practice. Also good if you want to get very upset.
There's a lot to unpack from the book, but what's really sitting with me right now is Wynn-Williams' insider perspective on what happened with Facebook in Myanmar. 🧵
It was unsurprising because we have seen this play out again and again: horrifying atrocities happening that can be traced directly back to the unchecked spread of misinformation and hate speech.
& this isn't just letting the stray oblique racist comment slide, either— this is stuff like major influential figures calling for violence, it's massive troll farms laying the groundwork for ethnic cleansing and operating with impunity. As one colleague of mine puts it, "Facebook is just like 4chan".

I actually don't care about the Epstein List.
If it ever is released, we will have no way of knowing if it is authentic, fake, doctored, or the like.
Even if it is authentic, the likelihood of anyone important on the list getting arrested or in any kind of serious trouble is less than a million to one.
All that will happen is Talking Heads will get more things to talk about. It won't help deport illegals. It won't reduce gov't waste. It won't fix the justice system.
@monarchist
Probably. I figure it's an Israeli gov't operation. But it still doesn't matter. Absolutely nothing will happen regarding the Epstein Files, and at this point I think it's the distraction d'jour.
Closing down gov't agencies like the Dept of Education, deporting illegals - stuff like this matters a lot more than what some talking heads get to snark on about with regards to the Epstein List, including Tucker Carlson.
I just don't care.

The talking heads are based on hype, not reality.
The conservative media debunked itself as being nearly as bad as the legacy media this week.
@monarchist
The only solution
All Kikes must be sent to re-education centers
If they commit anti Goyim subversive activities again after the education is completed it must be concluded that they can not be cured as an individual amd they must be sent to life sentence in jails
In the case that it was found that a verdict of guilt of subversion was mistaken they can be released from jail. The life sentence can be reversed but execution can not be reversed in the event of a mistake
I think you've got a better chance of getting the actual Epstein List released than implementing your plan.

My dentist had 2 liberals in separate rooms talking about how awful Trump is. She pulled them both aside separately and said she won't tolerate it in public. There's another patient who telling her all about it, lol. She had to sit in her chair while the dr. explained some truths. I told her don't ever give me an appt when they're in the office. I won't be silent. 😎
Anyway, she's back to taking NAD. She gets energy & feels great.

Every for-profit corporation is like that Daria episode where her high school gets the soda vending machine, and the principal says it'll be a money-making path for the school, and starts everyone to start drinking it, and starts binging soda herself, and getting irritable with everyone and harassing the teachers and students for not drinking enough soda because now they're losing money on the soda machines they need a return on investment
