"All of the world's population lived under authoritarian rule until about 235 years ago. Then political democratization started: USA, France, Germany, more European countries, and after WW2 also in Asia, South America and Africa. "

I hope they are good at that because they are ignorant as shit at politics and history.

It's laughable how the human race is trying to industry, tech and capitalism its way out of climate disaster.

Isn't the real answer obvious?

DO LESS OF THESE THINGS NOT MORE!

We do not need fridges connected to the internet and washing machines you control from your phone in another country.

In light of the Amazon worker strike, and seeing a bunch of posts complaining that this will disrupt the flow of packages over Christmas, this seems like a good time to remind folks:

STRIKES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DISRUPTIVE.

Strikes are the peaceful alternative that the capitalist class agreed to, as opposed to us breaking down their door and dragging them into the street where a guillotine waits.

extremely depressing and predictable that for comment on trans issues from a trans person the washington post turns to: brianna wu, someone who the community has roundly rejected

Dylan Roof killed 9 Black people with the motivation to incite a race war—NOT charged with terrorism.

Luigi Mangione killed 1 CEO with the motivation to rebuke healthcare injustice—charged with terrorism.

Class warfare is when wealthy CEOs are a protected class but working Black people are not.

when a site attempts to make rejecting tracking cookies inconvenient by hiding it behind a "Manage cookie preferences" option, i'm not more likely to click the big, convenient "Allow All" button. much more alluring than that is the "x" button on the tab

Most of us don’t love wearing a mask.

We wish it wasn’t necessary. We wish that covid was taken more seriously instead of putting the entire burden on the individual to prevent infection.

But we must face reality and adapt. Thats what masking is - adaptation & acceptance.

It’s also community care. Masking shows that you don’t agree that vulnerable people should be left by the wayside. It shows you care about the health of others and don’t want to be the reason someone gets seriously ill. It shows you don’t buy the government narrative that Covid is over.

It’s a sign of empathy, compassion AND resistance.
