    " if you’re under retirement age and quit your job tomorrow, do you have enough assets to comfortably live out the rest of your life"

    This gets to it. Basically bourgeoisie is the owning class and proletariat is the class that can only survive via labor, but as the post says it's a bit more complicated these days. You could have a business owner or landlord who gets the same amount of paycheck as say a high-paid tech person, or actor, or doctor, or something. And the former is petty bourgeois and the latter is not, because the former owns assets and the latter, if they lose their job, will before long need to find another one in order to survive.

    Now you could have someone getting a wage that's been high enough for a long enough time that they have been able to acquire assets that could bring in income, which changes things somewhat. But the main thing to analyze is the relationship to resources, land, and means of production.

  • I didnt bring stalin up. The comment i was replying to misattributed (or "sounds like"'d, if you prefer) a quote from Zuckerberg to Stalin. That read to me as right-wing rhetoric, pushing red scare, equating Communism, the society which is classes, moneyless, stateless, and flattening that concept into "been-tried-already-Stalin's-Tyranny"

    Which is pretty gross considering the big picture; the extensive harm which not only Zuck/ FB has done, not only by technocratic bro billionaires and corpo-owner social media as a trend, but the overall economic system and specifically imperial-colonial project which it is an extension of (colonizing of minds and thought, of our attention, to advertise to, for quarterly profit and power coupons) -- all the while doing their best to promote apathy.

    To prefigure a betted society, we must be able to dream. The only thing doomerism does is give the owning class that apathy while they bulldoze over Sudan, Palestine, Rojava

    Or at least thats how I see. All of the power and pleasure to all of the people. Hope that clears things up.

  • "Down with all forms of authoritarianism" is how i associate with the symbol. We do inded agree fash in any manifestation are a bad thing.

    Meanwhile here in the Elon thread, I'd like for folks not to associate Communism with dead bigoted tyrants who usurped the unions-of-unions that were Soviets, while misattributing a quote from a capitalist whose competing to have as much blood on his hands as Stalin did.

    Between these two episodes (i think these are the relevant entries, may be more) the realities, contrast to this politician's disinformation, are explored in depth:

  • Thanks much for this. Frankly it's the Stochastiv Terrorism (buying twitter, banning accounts handpicked by the Andy Gno type, iirc, promoting anti-freedom-from/of-gender types, promoting zionists and anti-semites (but I repeat myself)...the general trend of amplifying danger for folks who whom the world is already primed to scapegoat or antagonize. It's harmed journalism and is moving the electoral overton window to the far-right.

  • In my 20's I was all for it. I understand where the techbros are coming from. Now with over a decade more experience, I see clearly we need to spend so much more of our energy healing from traumas on the societal level: To dispel imperial-colonialist mindsets. Im thinkin of Bo Burningham speaking about how the empires exhausted all physical territory, and then discovered Data, going on to colonize every waking moment of our attention.

    We need to shed the subconcious conquistador, with all it's machismo, all it's tribalism (most agregiously white supremacist nationalism) and covetous paranoia. It is a poison which will prevent us from making the societal leap from which all tides would rise.

    Until we do that, all we'll get for this tech will be:

    • dystopic labor camp colonies on Mars
    • advertisements when we are trying to dream
    • Military tech developed under the guise of "medical 🌈 disabilities 🌈 quality 🌈 of 🌈 life 🌈 improvement 🌈 research" [1]

    And we collectively deserve better

  • Thanks. Vest advice I have to any person looking to help, is dont just be a passive ally. Step up as an accomplice. When there's a police protected parade of alt-right demonstrators, show them that they're outnumbered. The SRA does a good job of that, as one example.

    The other advice is that whatever space you exist in, be proactive in showing bigots that there's no place at the table at your club.

    To anyone reading: Just dont do nothing. You are as powerful as your solidarity.

    • anti-immigration campains appealing to colonial-settler hypocrisy (creating refugees by way of exploiting & destabilizing their homes for profit of the imperial core)
    • anti-houseless people campaigns - As violent crime declines, for-profit prison system requires a prison population to exploit, further incentiving criminalization of existing in public spaces or near law officers out to meet arbitrary quotas.

    I mean, Shit, this is just Fear-Propaganda-Mania grift expanding into it's next logical killing floor. Just about anybody can be a scapegoat if you can convince the Imperial Middle that the target will harm "Women and Childeren"

    All the while existing institutions and their authority figures, from "would never do anything wrong" trusted local gym coach, to the Catholic to the Mormon church, Scouts to Police Unions, and so many more carry out and stonewall any fix to the root cause that it's Trusted Authority Figures in Established Institutions that are abusing real-world victims, victims from all disenfranchised intersections of identitiy, here, now, in reality.

    And the real kicker is that the listed terminology most accurately conveys the ideas in the fewest words possible, and people who follow right-wing-authoritaian influencers are groomed into shutting down when they see those exact words.
