I trace the downfall of technology to the day a computer first started trying to spell words wrong for me against my will and without even asking. 😠

What I really want from technology these days is passivity. Physical buttons, and PASSIVITY.

No guessing, no anticipating, no predicting.
No autofill, no autocorrect, no autodrive and PLEASE God no autoplay.

Just be inert until acted upon!

"REMINDER: 𝘼𝙇𝙇 𝙍𝙊𝘼𝘿𝙎 in Western North Carolina should be considered 𝘾𝙇𝙊𝙎𝙀𝘿.

I-40 and I-26 are impassable in multiple locations.

⚠️ Travel in this area for non-emergency purposes is hindering needed emergency response."

"#Asheville, NC and surrounding areas are struggling and suffering. No roads in/out, limited water, very limited cell service, no electricity. People searching for loved ones. It appears officials and others have resorted to paper handouts like this to share info."

"This is an overhead shot coming out of the mountains from #Asheville NC to Erwin TN.

We don’t have bridges anymore. #Nolichucky washed them all out. Like, all the bridges 💩

It’s insane"

Just as #privilege accrues the older you get, ALSO #marginalization and deprivation accrue. If you start out on the downside, you can end up much much worse off as you age.

It's not a "rule," it's an inaccurate expectation of some politicians who have never consulted any #sociologists during their election campaigns.

There will ALWAYS be people who are ready to fight against fascism and what's more, fascists will almost always be in the minority. Why? It's simple.

#Fascism is the habit and process of marginalizing and subjugating others. It *excludes* by its nature. Its goal IS to exclude (and have power over) most people.

Therefore most people will always *not* be included in it.

While certainly there will be some who are crushed into acceptance, it's an unstable dynamic that cannot ever stand permanently.

You can only crush and abuse a majority of any social grouping for a temporary period before a critical mass of people have nothing left to lose by fighting back.

Fascism can truly harm us while it's in power, and it can lengthen its time in power by destroying history and making us re-learn everything each time, but ultimately it cannot stand.
