  • I'm not disagreeing with the opinion that imperialism is one of the biggest large-scale problems facing humanity, and that the US is the current worst offender.

    I'm just pointing out that at the root of imperialism are a few powerful people attempting to rule over the rest of us. Tech-feudalism in the digital world is another huge problem, as is the rise of fascism. And they all come from class warfare, at least in my humble opinion.

    But I am also not pretending to be as informed on history and current events as many other here, and I am no attempting to lecture anyone as if I know better. That would just be decisive and counterproductive.

  • I agree, I just like to remind people what the end goal is.

  • The only conflict that matters is the class conflict. Everything else is a distraction. Eat the rich.

  • This guy must be on to something. Look at that hair! That is some Einstein-level-crazy-genius hair.

    Seriously though, I applaud the return to systematic and grounded theory, and enjoyed the article. The title is a little too click-baity, but the content is factual and sober imho.

  • Perhaps I was too harsh. My apologies. I'm just very worried about how people deal with information and truth recently.

  • No, he didn't. Please, for your sake and ours, learn to search for facts yourself instead of asking strangers on the internet to do it for you.

  • And still worlds better than standard android.

  • The world has been run by fascists before. Hiding is cowardice, and that is EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. Don't give it to them. If you want to die proud of yourself, then get involved in the resistance.

    Work on rejecting big tech. Do your part to defund them, don't give them any money or data if you can.

    If you have money to spare, donate to organizations that work to protect our rights. Or donate your time if you have some to spare.

    Learn about mesh networks and buy some hardware. It is cheap, a fun hobby, and may become crucial infrastructure at some point in the near future.

    Talk to your neighbors, get involved. Read about anarchism and get inspired to act locally to help others. Don't fret the big picture, just try and leave your little bit of land better than you found it.

    And when those fascists come for you and yours, give them hell.

    Die proud.

  • I had the same thought. I signed up to be notified when the project starts, but never got an email.

    Perhaps they have just had massive delays, but I too would suggest caution.

  • I used to watch a show from the states about severely overweight people, with a doctor called Dr. No trying to help them lose weight (I forget the name).

    Most of the people that actually lost weight ended up going to therapy first. Without working on the underlying issues, weight loss was hopeless. Once they did do therapy, the weight loss became possible, even easy.

    I think productivity is a similar sort of goal. There are no hacks, no tricks, no methods. Humans that are healthy, safe, and have meaning in their life are naturally motivated.

    So are you healthy? Are you safe? Do you have something that gives you meaning? If not, then work on those issues, and motivation will come to you naturally.

  • Impressive! Do you use it for travelling?

  • Oh my sweet summer child.

  • That's exactly what I mean. Just like email, different providers/servers can do things a little differently. I suppose that's just a side effect of being decentralized.

  • It is more than most contribute. (⁠ ^ ⁠ᴗ ⁠^ ⁠)

  • Do you have all those categories for posts? Or is that just a suggestion ?

    I use voyager, so I only have media,link,text as options. I must admit, as much as I love the fediverse, it can be a bit confusing sometimes .

  • Damn, you got some harsh comments for just posting a YT link.

    Thanks for posting. We need to grow the fediverse, and low-effort stuff like this helps too.

  • Nice rant!

    I'm not going to nitpick, agree with you. Like you said, nuance is everywhere, you can't talk about general things without leaving out a load of details.

    I think you have the right focus. So many people are focused on false dichotomies. Right vs. Left. Innovation vs. Tradition. East vs. West. The list goes on. But they are all distractions. Trivial differences that are magnified by the 1% to keep the masses at each others throats.

    The class war is the only real war. The 1% (quickly becoming the 0.0001%) vs the rest of us.

    Eat the rich.

  • Fascinating. Thanks for posting!

  • You just called luddites idiots, and then proceeded to suggest they embrace..the core tenants of luddism.

    Hmmmmmm...did you read the atricle?
