The centralization of public education in #Ontario is an example of the creeping control by the state.
It takes away ability of communities to influence priorities and initiatives at local level.
And makes advocating for your child’s educational needs almost impossible.

And more about the idea of destroying truth to fit the false narrative, it's technology and centralization that enables and empowers the regime. It's that media that is overwritten and remade to fit stories of Good and Bad, where those with all the military power are unnaccountable to the Public

Here’s the definition of fascism: A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalism economy under stringent government controls (corps, universities, etc), violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

yea honestly you genuinely do get real authentic pro-society philanthropist rich people every once in a while and they should be recognized even if you oppose that much centralization of wealth imo

the one nice thing about GitHub's centralization is global code search, really handy for going "does anyone actually use this"?
very nice because of the fact regular search engines love to ignore anything that isn't alphanumeric

Like at some point we need to acknowledge that while centralized applications and websites are easier- just sign up and the app handles everything! - they're also a centralization of power in the hands of people who are, fundamentally, not accountable to anyone for how they use it.

One of America's underlying issues has always been of scale, bumping up against some pretty hardwired human limits on trust and group size, and facilitating centralization and authoritarian overreach. I've been waiting a long time for "states' rights" to stop being a dirty word.

When Amazon Web Services’ DNS failed on October 20, the problem wasn't that servers went down. It was that millions of people couldn't find them. DNS is the internet's phone book, and a single bug exposed how centralization is quietly creating invisible points of failure buff.ly/ITkS6HS
What is DNS? A computer engineer explains this foundational piece of the web – and why it’s the internet’s Achilles’ heel
The Domain Name System, like most pieces of the internet, was designed to be distributed across many computers. Concentration on few cloud providers is changing that.

it's also better for fans to actively seek relationships and community this way, ao3's just the major pipeline for other communities to spawn once they get big enough. it's a win-win to me bc i personally have never been a fan of centralization in fandom bc community context can get so specific

basically the proposal of the "great reversal" is that the US started pro-competitive reforms, but stopped in the 1980s-today while the EUs structure forced those measures to continue and created a stronger economy with lower prices within the block. but with less centralization, for better & worse

Waymo does not and will not scale. It has the same problems as Uber and Lyft, but compounded by centralization (depots and routing).
The state needs to allow cities to limit the number of cars per-city. Local planners have no tools to deal with this sort of brokenness.

Waymo robots queued for blocks through the intersection where a Waymo robot hit & ran a cyclist, for which it couldn't be cited bc of a robots-only loophole:
17th & Mississippi, San Francisco
Waymo uses this route bc they don't trust their robots on the adjacent/parallel fwy.

The real danger is the centre and left parties and MPs ignoring the corrosive effect of AI, automation, and wealth centralization on the already poor job prospects of youth
and allowing their frustration to fester with no UBI coming from appropriately taxing billionaires and corporations.

Yeah, the centralization of my former church allowed for the continuation of Reformation rhetoric that it was a "Catholic thing", as all of these less centralized and decentralized Protestant denominations, including the Boy Scouts, which seems to function as a Christian adjunct, went unchecked.

True at McGill and at my former uni, where it led to major reorg that increased centralization (and the number of high level administrators). It's a major reason why my faculty and others have unionized at McGill. Info about the uni's finances is difficult to impossible to access. Nous is involved.

Like, what if all businesses were run as worker-owned cooperatives, allowed to return modest profits to the worker/owners (to provide an incentive for efficiency and innovation), but with limits on how much profit (to avoid centralization of wealth)?

I said no system is inherently immune to corruption.
Class society and all it instills in people isn’t abolished overnight. material inequality hadn’t yet been abolished. USSR still had to deal with economic scarcity and isolation and bureaucratic centralization in response to the fascist threat
