Twitter reluctant refugee. Green anarcho something. Unabashed primitivist. Latent shaman (yes)

Modern man takes his ideas so seriously because he does not fundamentally believe that the objective world actually exists
"Online privacy" has always been a fantasy - or an aspiration if you want to be nice about it - and sooner or later people will have to stop trying to wiggle out of the inevitable conclusion you have to log off
Every person on Bluesky should know:
* Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever
* Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies
* Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured
* Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic

If you believe in a deterministic universe then by definition you could in theory deduce the shape of the whole from any of its parts so this isn't IMPOSSIBLE

From how people constantly react in utter shock when media and recently universities "fail" to "stand up to power" one has to conclude most people think the "military industrial complex" means sometimes the gvt will pay a marvel movie to imply the US military is good

Too tired to get into it (to who anyway) but cozy content is a manifestation of the severely repressed ID (if you like that terminology, at least people get what I mean) of the succesful in the empty world and even years before AI when it exploded it was a bad sign of where the collective psyche was

It's fantastic the powerful have hollowed out the world and set out to kill everything alive, either in actuality or in spirit, their reaction to it being as empty for them in their self-inflicted anhedonia is to decide the problem of these systems is that they're too woke and captured by "the left"

The richest man alive today is a lot more miserable than like the average hunter gatherer ten thousand years ago, all those fuckin space rockets or whatever and you would've done better just eating some fruit you picked and falling asleep under a tree

They're rapidly running out of people to say "I used to be on the left but WOKE GOT OUT OF CONTROL" that remotely were credibly ever "left" but it's basically the only argument that whitewashes the active role of "liberal media" in the present state of things

Real "media literacy" would be dropping the "right wing media" cope and understanding it could not enact its agenda without "liberal" media legitimising its premises at every turn; the whole of "the culture" aims for these outcomes; there's no institutional force on "your side"

This is, I believe, why the establishment moved so quickly to end covid mitigations and support

People were starting to see that the status quo was *a choice* and not immutable or inevitable

Which threatened decades of elite effort to instill learned helplessness as our civic default
This is why you see so much centrist pushback against things like police reform or prison abolition. They cannot fathom changing significant institutions because they’ve been told subtly and grossly that these institutions are not fundamentally changeable. Things are “Too Big to Change (TM)”

People be all about QT maga dorks and being "Leopard eating people's faces" as if "bad things only ever happen to "bad" people no matter how directly the system is telling me it's going to fuck me over" wasn't a staple principle of RW thought, or modernity in general even

Conclave should be disqualified from winning any awards by the fact at no point in the movie does it refer to the pope candidates as "the popeables"

This unspoken but seemingly universally agreed idea the only real way to express your interiority is by making cultural commodities is bad; you don't have to be a writer there's already too many

The way the Luigi case is being talked about is a textbook example of how collapsing every possible measure of people's "worth" into fuckability is a trap/liability

Thing is "cute dog photos" are on the same continuum as all the rest of the online/social media garbage; one doesn't really exist without the other

If I weren't so lazy I'd make a killer bean video but the only thing it'd say would be "Yanis Varoufakis should be in prison"

People deceive themselves on this because their own aspirations and sense of self have been built on the very myths that sustain this hellsociety; if meritocracy isn't real what does it entail for my career, achievement and various "high status person" certifications bestowed by the institutions

You can not ride the ambient wave of narcissism to any sort of liberation, either collective or individual, buckle up and start cultivating some genuine humility and wonder bucko
