  • Even as fascism and capitalism are aggressively using technology to destroy our democracies and wealth equality, “liberals” continue to use our tax dollars to enrich both and build big brother FOR fascism/capitalism.

    Just like the Democrats have shifted far right for 50+ years to appease fascists in the USA — just like liberals did through the rise of nazi Germany — liberals everywhere will reject the left, embrace fascism, and abandon democracy sooner than they’ll abandon the implementation of the omnipresent mass surveillance state.

  • America is an example of the narcissism and psychopathy that extreme wealth creates, and capitalism rewards, rotting a society to its core.

    It’s most prevalent in America because it has the highest wealth inequality, and the most religiously indoctrinated poorly educated population, but the ultra wealthy tend to be narcissists everywhere; especially those born into extreme wealth, like Trump.


  • Who’s we? You think you or I get to decide what will be censored and silenced?

    Unless the protocol is 100% open source, decentralised, user controlled by default, and resistant to unwanted censorship and propaganda, the oligarchs and corporations will ALWAYS be able to seize control and use it against us.

    If you genuinely think the solution is yet another billionaire controlled closed for-profit platform, propaganda-promoting algos, and a bunch of bootlicking gatekeepers to censor and moderate it — that can be sold, transferred, and monetised in any way, to anyone, at any time — whelp, the world must be an absolute enigma to you.


  • Eh. I don’t use bsky, and think most current ICE staff should be imprisoned for terrorism for the rest of their lives, but I don’t want any communications services to decide which entities should and shouldn’t be verified. That’s how you end up with power-tripping mods, propaganda bubbles, and censorship (exactly what fascists are doing with X, fb, tiktok, etc).

    The goal should be an open protocol where users/orgs can sign messages cryptographically (like PGP) and every other user can decide which users, feeds, or algos they subscribe to without censorship. Like, if I subscribe to my friends and family (trusted sources), or friends of friends, I don’t want any form of moderation between them and me, but the freedom to sub to moderated topics is also necessary for public (untrusted sources) feeds/comms.










  • This is not “pettiness”. This is all part of a multi-generational psychological warfare operation to brainwash the working class and implement totalitarian dictatorship — started by the Koch Bros, Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, and other wealthy narcissists several decades ago — and the fascists are winning; facilitated by “liberals” who are mostly a manufactured opposition, financed by the same corporations/oligarchs.

    No war but class war, and the capitalist class is winning.
