  • Mastodon’s main problem IMO is how long it takes for features to make their way into the live version.

    Bluesky’s main problem IMO is how it is fundamentally a profit driven venture that cannot tolerate slow and steady growth and how fundamentally, no matter what anyone including the CEO says, Bluesky must and always will unflinchingly support the interests of its investors over the interest of its users, period. To really spell things out here, the continued employment of anyone at Bluesky is fundamentally predicated on their ability and desire to do this very thing.

    Bluesky is a business, after all



  • Under fascism every centrist will loyally enforce fascism, that is why it destroys a society and why the long history of centrists shouting down leftists trying to raise the alarm about a descent into fascism is so ironic.

    These people never realize the vile they spit at progressives for violating established rules and norms is the same vile they will deploy on innocent people under fascism because “well that is the way things are now and I am going to live my life, now get in line and follow the new rules!”.

    It is now a serious question how to deradicalize essentially the entire population of Israel away from genocide, and since neoliberalism is ideologically bankrupt there really isn’t much of anywhere to even start (I say this as a USian who very much implicates my country in this, only verrry low horses here)…

    …which is what people really mean when they say neoliberalism and capitalism inveitably attempt to set the stage for fascism. Once the stage is set and the transition complete it is far to dangerous for the average individual to resist and limit the machinery of violence they are now part and parcel of… and most centrists then have lost the language to even think in those terms anyways. Going back is much much harder.

    Once you shout down leftists and systematically disempower them for advocating for treating oppressed people like human beings and “compromise” with fascists who will never settle for anything less than fascism, you have not simply destroyed a societal guardrail, you have destroyed that society’s capacity to even understand there is a cliff or what it feels like to fall off it.



  • That is in the end the point of this right? Bibi is stoking antisemitism as quickly and as violently as possible in a desperate search for blowback that will legitimize Bibi’s authoritarianism and the narratives of hate he embodies.

    The people most scared of the future they were condemned to by a betrayal of their leaders should be jews living in Israel, this is an awful period that will lead to the germination and development of decades of violence, suffering and war towards them and it is good for nobody except Bibi and other high ranking fascists in the apartheid state of Israel.

    The genocide of Palestinians is a mindful, careful invocation of a new global paradigm (not that genocide and imperialism are anything new of course) and that paradigm promises war, hate and immense suffering placed on the working class all over the world.

    Buckle up, fascists are taking note all over the world

    :( :(



  • There will be no mercy for those that repeatedly airstrike hospitals, which is exactly why netanyahu is doing this, he wants a generation of enemies to prop up the legitimacy of his shit regime and blatant bigotry.

    Also no media organization should ever print the phrase “ordered to evacuate hospital” in this context. This is just a terrorist attack, an airstrike on people that are so vulnerable and helpless that you can laugh in their face and tell them exactly who you are going to murder next with your bombs and it won’t make any difference because they cannot run.
