your daily reminder that the sudden elimination of a capitalist state will not address homophobia, racism, ableism, and other implicit biases
even if the revolution was tomorrow, we would still have work to do to get to an actually equitable world
one of the reasons that white anarchists frustrate me is this belief that if you topple the state, the goodness of people will float up and all that pesky racism stuff will melt away.
this is a dangerous belief. the revolution doesn't end at revolt.

i absolutely get furious every time billionaires are interviewed about a high tax rate. it's like, "billionaires don't want rich people to have their taxes increased! news at 11!" it's ridiculous.
what's even more ridiculous is that a 70 percent tax on incomes is somehow being called far left. no, that's not far left. far left is we seize the assets of the rich entirely. moderate left is a heavy increase in capital gains tax, tax on millionaires, and a partial asset based tax.
I decided to go ahead and move to snouts.online, please follow me there as I'll no longer be tooting here

i started with node shortly after it became a thing. since that time, it seems as though the javascript ecosystem has become a complete mess
every time i want to feel better about X where X is literally any other programming language ecosystem, i go browse npmjs.com. it never fails to make me feel pretty good

i'm a gay raven. sometimes a gay cat. i like technology, corvids, good stories, long walks on the beach, and destroying the patriarchy. all before breakfast.
i'm fairly antisocial but if you're interesting and nice then probably i'll be a good friend to have around.
