@artem my favorite blogging platform is actually AMuseWiki but there's no equivalent as like WordPress signing up and making a blog off the bat

@artem cool I could check those out

You have permission to put me down like a dog if I start a blog on Substack. PLEASE just start a WordPress or Noblogs instead, like the gods intended.

@cedar I would thinknl it's less cultist tbh. Just on vibes alone.

Wild things happening on Twitter. Why is everyone's “my political journey” meme posts are all Mussolini, Hitler, Lassalle, Lassalle, Lassalle, Lassalle.

“READ MARX!!!” I did! Now what??? Is this like the bible where I get enlightenment and come to Jesus??? Read Marx mofos are so unserious. The party of oppose book worship worshipping books.

o, yes, Signal runs on AWS. It also runs on your phone, which runs on iOS (Apple) or Android (Google). And on Dekstop, via Windows (Microsoft). Each of these presents similar dependencies on large entrenched tech companies, and concomitant barriers and risks. 10/

I get lots of more compliments on my clothing now that I tried more gender non-conforming styles, and the only negative comments I get are from my mother. 🤔

The Haitian revolution is quite possibly the most important revolution because it is the only revolution wherein a class self-abolished itself through self-emancipation and then continued to struggle against work for centuries.

@HeavenlyPossum Did you ever read The Many-Headed Hydra?

I'm going through so many character arcs in the past few weeks, it's so unreal.

it's just like, if XMPP+OMEMO were really this horrible insecure thing no one should trust, you would think they'd have found a whole bunch of 0days by now - i'm looking around and I haven't found any - that is how actual security researchers demonstrate the security vs. insecurity of an app or protocol, they do some penetration tests and find a vulnerability and publish it, to the benefit of the software they're testing and to their own careers

They don't just skim the docs and say 'oh this has unserious vibes don't use it" in a blog post, and then call whoever pushes back against that very shallow criticism a cargo cultist, that's not at all what an actual hacker does, a hacker will do the fucking work and not just talk out of their ass, resting on their status as an 'expert' because they know that credentials don't mean shit in real life

^^ such a transparent grift that, like had this "expert" tell me don't ever use XMPP but actually Whatsapp is the most secure thing out there. Ya know, the closed source Facebook app that asks for all the permissions. absolute clowns - it really is a sign of the age that any semblance of scientific rigour has been replaced with dogmatic punditry and most cannot tell the difference.

The thing about Bookchin's critique of “lifestylism” is that it's primarily a critique of how the peripherality problem manifests as counterculture and small mutual aid. The thing is though, Bookchin fundamentally was still unable to resolve the problem of peripherality.

For me, Bookchin clearly understood the necessity for solving the peripherality problem and occupying the centrality, his strategy being communalism, but literally only the liberal bourgeoisie was the only revolutionary force able to do so.

@aboutsignal let's f goo

What makes black scare unique (vis-à-vis red scare) is precisely its discursive application by the left to delegitimize revolutionary (anti-)politics.

Signs for women, non-men, Queer peeps should look out for in terms of safety in political orgs and events. [Tagalog, but I think there's a translate CC option.]

@angstonautti Hegel and Bookchin aren't particularly unique in making shit up for the purposes of philosophy. Thomas Hobbes would do so (anarchy as state of nature anyone?), the barter myth in economics, Newton's alchemy, and this goes all the way back to antiquity with Socrates, Plato, Pythagoras.

In fact... kýrios Pythagoras, how are flava beans related to humanity again? 😳😳😳

@angstonautti Yeah well, that's Hegelianism and Western philosophy for you...

Organic society is fully a thought experiment and has very little basis in reality. You are very free to apply the framework of organic society to deep history or existing Indigenous peoples, but that doesn't change its origins as a thought experiment.

In fact, I knew a Lumad man who wanted to apply Bookchin's organic society to his experience and oral history as part of the Kalumaran.

The Neolithic Y-chromosome bottleneck, I guess, doesn't affect Bookchin's ideas much because it's a thought experiment on the emergence of hierarchy, not a serious archaeological work on the Paleo/Meso/Neolithic.
