@stewartbrand *and by "useful" I mean "steering the world in the right direction"
English
@stewartbrand You are and forever will be one of my biggest inspirations. Your works have fundamentally changed the way I look at the world. And if any of it, here's hoping, ever results in something useful, I will attribute it to you. That I promise. Thank you for everything. 🙏

@org_integral Yet they're all captured by the same dynamic of geopolitical rivalry - directly or by association.
And capitalism, especially deregulated, makes better rivals. For other forms to be as "effective", they have to be wrapped in totalitarianism.
Our entire economies are war machines.
English
@org_integral Peter I figured it out. It's not even capitalism. It's the war machine. Most our economies and the global economy itself are downstream from it. If the fucken thing isn't shut down within our lifetimes the planet is toast. Protesting/trying to change anything else is a dead end
English
@org_integral Moreover: since it's a belief system, to say "capitalism works" is exactly the same thing as to say "Christianity works". There's a bit of truth to it, but at its core this framing is deranged. Belief systems don't "work": guiding principles do.
English
@org_integral So this perpetuation goes both ways: it goes bottom-up because there are people who share this belief system in the first place, and then it turns others into converts of this religion. Religion does the same thing.
English
@org_integral This time it's not just stripping social safety net, it's also building concentrating camps. This is a declaration of war, and millions of people are in the crosshairs. If the govt will be as violent as it promises to be - no doubt it will - it won't end well for the country.

Don't we all complain about the machine while incessantly feeding into it

Well, the heavens are my witness, I tried to extend grace. The sad state of the music industry that forces musicians to make way too many concessions these days, big and small. I guess, for some, this is one of them.

@tedgioia Please consider shifting it somewhere else medium-term. I understand that it's hard and takes time to move your audience anywhere, but Substack is a Nazi money making machine these days, and to share revenue with them is suboptimal to say the least.

The sudden convergence of "radical left" and "radical right" over Gaza really makes one suspect that it was a psyop the entire time, and that both have been operating from the same building somewhere in Saint-Petersburg.
English
@glassbeadsdev @ecomarxi Oh yes, because no censorship, debanking, political persecution, lawfare, corporate favoritism, or any of that was going on at breakneck pace recently, oh no.
Have you been in a coma?
Fuck the left. They declared war and lost. I hope Elon burns them to the fucking ground.
English
It’s probably a better time to reiterate that genocidal policies have consequences.
The Democrats done all of this.
Symone D. Sanders Townsend@SymoneDSanders
I think now it’s very appropriate to reiterate that elections have consequences.
English
@frost7 @ecomarxi Yeah? So let's accelerate the whole thing instead, just in spite? Let's appoint a deranged autocrat so he could "finish the job" faster? While also censoring and terrorizing people at home, deporting protestors, etc? Let's completely blow everyone's chances for a better outcome?
English
@glassbeadsdev @ecomarxi Exactly what do you think was going on under Biden? We had unrestricted total war by Big Finance on the lower classes going since COVID completely unchecked.
They're not doing ENOUGH dismantling of that system.
English
@jzellis I know it's a common trope that the Left is too divided and needs solidarity to move forward, but it's very difficult for me to not resent these people.
It's as if intelligentsia tried to increase productivity of gas chambers during Holocaust because people suffer for too long.
English
Literally the entire world can blow me. I told you. I FUCKING TOLD YOU, YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS, YOU FUCKING IDIOT ASSHOLES. I told you what he'd do and he's doing it. I told you I told you I told you I told you I told you I you I told you I told you I told you I told you I told
Josh Ellis@jzellis
There is no way you can vote or not vote in this election that will end the genocide in Gaza. The idea that Trump wouldn't accelerate it is so fucking fatuous I can't believe people with functioning nervous systems can hold it in whatever they have instead of working brains.
English
@jzellis Much quicker than writing it from scratch in something like Go or Rust anyway
English
@jzellis I resent Node you have no idea. Not in the least because I have to work with it all the time.
But I'll take a look
English
I've decided to make sure the source code for Kowloon can't be "accidentally" erased, so I'm going to be literally wearing a backup Git repo server around my neck from now on and backing it up in a rural part of a country that's not the US or the UK.
