  • while you haven't said anything overtly wrong, i'm tired of this particular talking point coming up everytime the LGBTQIA+ community expresses being tired of there being so littile LGBTQIA+ representation within the hollywood system that openly LGBTQIA+ actors can't even get work portraying LGBTQIA+ characters.

    so it's clear, it's not your fault that your comment seems like an obvious take. the media outlets that provide commentary on the hollywood system frame it as us whiney gays being unable to discern story from reality. but what we're really saying is we're tired of a system that will take our stories and sell them to us without contributing back to any of our wellbeing except for maybe the writer. you can't tell me no queer actors came for those auditions. have you been to a drama club? queer is assumed to be the default within those spaces, yet to get further in the most visible acting oportunities, you either have to be straight or allow your queerness to be obliterated.

  • in 2026 you really have to ask an employer what they mean by object oriented programming in the interview. do they mean a methodology of organizing pure functional code into actors and message busses? do they mean imperitive code that's interacted with through generic interfaces as with python? or do they mean javascipt style OOP where you define classes to organize your imperitive code within a functional language without any concern for the generic interfaces this could hypothetically enable?

  • as in all authoritarian regimes it depends on how you look and where you are. keep your eyes up and your head high

  • ???

    A terror state is a state that controls its citizens through the use of terror. A terrorist state is a state that then inflects that terror out into the rest of the world in an act of expansionist imperialism. So... Yeah. It's internal. Because I was talking about internal use of terror to control a citzenry

  • the most active developers in both communities are frequently in both communities, and if they're not, they have a ton of respect for the developers in the other community. The "Neovim split the community" crowd who villifies the Neovim community seems to be a thread unique to people who first got involved in open source through Hackernews and are supremely confident that they know better about what's going on than people who are directly involved

  • school funding coming from property tax

    EDIT: I fired that off quick while I was in the middle of something and failed to explain how this acts as a system of oppression and white supremacy. Schools in high income neighborhoods have better schools because they have more access to resources. Properties in good school zones have higher property values because families with the money to buy homes in those neighborhoods want their children to receive a good education. This creates a circular feedback loop in which people who already have access to more resources are more likely to receive a high quality education. The students from lower income school zones are not dumber. They are simply being strangled by a system that wants to gate them from achieving academic and financial success.

  • that's the great trick of white supremacy! it lets the capital class convice the working class to work against their own interests

  • functionally, the global north's oligarchs all support eachother's agendas. Ukraine is nominally part of the global south based on economic pressures. largely, the liberal position of western europe is to stay out of it to avoid retaliation. this is, of course, a fallacy. russia is an aggressor. no one can be made safe by ignoring their threat and waiting for it to go away. the same can be said for the so called united states, china, and india. but largely europe doesn't want to intervene on the side of the colonized in a colonial war because europe benefits from colonialism more than it doesn't

  • especially when the purge is EXPLICITY about a hierarchical society pitting the working class against itself to enact the enforcement of the wealth hierarchy on itself

  • western libs are smarter than global consensus, bear in mind. really, what it is, is they'll say anything so long as the money keeps moving.

    the reality is of course that terrorism is any act that is intended to modify public behavior through widespread fear. here's some examples of terror states:

    • America
    • Russa
    • Israel
    • India
    • Iran

    i'm POSITIVE there's more, and i'd even be willing to hear arguments that every nation today is either a terror state or subservient to a terror state.

  • fuck trump, fuck ICE, free Sudan, Ukraine, and Palestine

  • if you a communist, and you take a pro-russian stance, you're a fascist, not a communist

  • we're under quarantine. we are crikket. the rest of the galactic community saw what were up to and is putting us in the isolation void until they observe that we can act right

  • fair. it's been a simmering thing ever since white men landed in virginia. it's boiled over several times. i just meant we have to track DJT's fascist parallels to hitler not based on his second inauguration

  • don't think of that starting point as being January 20, 2025, think of it being in 2015 when djt announced his candidacy. fascism, like bolshevism, neoliberalism, anarchocapitalism, enlightened centrism, and anarchism is a street religion.

  • "all anarchists are simple minded brutes. you can tell because it's so easy to colonize them"

  • have you ever heard of the tragedy of the commons? because it was coined by an ecofascist and has inserted itself deep into economic theory. ecofascists are few, just like all fascists, but their ability to ply power allows them to influence world decisions by seeming reasonable while they murder, kill, and disrupt
