  • have you ever heard of the tragedy of the commons? because it was coined by an ecofascist and has inserted itself deep into economic theory. ecofascists are few, just like all fascists, but their ability to ply power allows them to influence world decisions by seeming reasonable while they murder, kill, and disrupt

  • anteaters are a step on the path to crab, confirmed

  • Appalachia out here like "it's been long enough. it's time i got huge again"

  • yeah. in the "obtainium is more trustworthy because it distributes trust" vs "f-droid is more trust worthy because it reduces attack vectors" i tend to fall in the latter camp. sure, if f-droid is pwned, nearly your entire phone is pwned, but with obtainium you're more at risk for death by a thousand papercuts.

    i'm not expert enough to speak authoritatively between the two stances, but i know enough people who are split between the two to say there's compelling arguments on both sides, i just picked what matched my understanding of my vulnerabilities best

  • to discuss how these things happen in other parts of the world with similar roots of anglocentric patriarchy. i'm not trying to drive the conversation, just provide "here's what happens in another part of the world, maybe it will help analyze your systems"

  • i don't know how things are in Australia, but i do know how misogyny is so common in American schools. you can't think of it as being individual failures on behalf of the teachers. you have to think of this as entire system of patriarchy that selects for individuals who are less likely to resist it.

    firstly are the weed out systems:

    1. a school teacher needs 4-6 years worth of higher education to be eligible to teach meaning a school teacher is more likely to come from a wealthier, more conservative background
    2. a school teacher is paid poverty wages, making them more reliant on spousal support, creating a soft reinforcement of traditional gender roles
    3. teachers are hired by administrators who are usually men, men who can have unaudited privilege in the system of patriarchy, creating bias in what they consider "professional" for a teacher towards someone who will fit into this overall system

    then there's the reinforcement systems

    1. you are genuinely correct that most teachers are more progressive when it comes to social issues, but they are also making poverty wages meaning they're more reliant on the job. they're more desperate and therefore less likely to upset the apple cart
    2. teachers are not the only people who interact with kids. administrators are usually who operate the punishment system in a school. this punishment system creates an interplay between the nurturing mother stock character and the disciplinary father stock character. the disciplinary father stock character in his role will often hand children mysogynistic views very directly.
  • we're under galactic quarantine until we get over this whole fascism thing we've been doing the last 20k years

  • i can speak to this very directly. my uncle thought he was working on making nuclear power more renewable. but what was really happening is that depleted fuel rods are the magic sauce that makes thermonuclear devices (hydrogen bombs) work. even now, i do not truly believe the nuclear powered ai centers are about the progress of man, but rather an excuse to set up extraction economies stripping the earth of her natural resources to then be turned against the working poor who mined the wealth for their overlords in the form of weapons of instantaneous genocide. the only arguments i'm willing to hear in favor of nuclear are to decommission old petrochemical plants, but none of the nuclear plans being presented now have these provisions. the capital hoarders do not propose to sunset any coal, and accuse you of being a pro-petrochemical luddite when you stand in the way of their nuclear proposals.

  • still do. just used to, too

  • what a fuckin' soulless ball of slime

  • it was an F-16A, too. even the most updated F-16A Block 15 aircraft are still just… from another era of aircraft entirely. the f-16 may now be demonstrating itself to be the plateau of combat aircraft as it outcompetes more up to date jets and drone combat changes what aerial combat even is. the F-22 and F-35 are more advanced, to be sure, but i'm more and more questioning if that means anything, or more, if that's not actually a major design flaw in more modern craft

  • translation: never coming out

  • super easy, barely an inconvenience

  • i have some bad news

  • just your reminder that christofascism has very little to do with christianity

  • making it more obvious it was never about terrorism

  • is this how contacts get sucked in according to our former national security director?
