I've been think a lot about how often people who demand action on climate change, but only if someone else is inconvenienced. I think I've found a synergy of ideas that helps with this.

Some of this is odious and predictable, such as oil companies agreeing that something must be done, so long as it doesn't hurt their record-breaking profits. 1/9

@wordshaper @ovid there is no way to implement it in a way that wouldn't simply be a wealth transfer to rent seekers and price gougers without a slew of other price controls and regulations that are frankly more important

@PRNE@weatherishappening.network avatar

@wordshaper @ovid the fundamental problem with those pilot studies is they only benefit a small number of people and therefore do not influence market conditions the way a real UBI would.

PRNE,
@PRNE@weatherishappening.network avatar

@wordshaper @ovid this is true but doesn't really change what, to give one example of potentially hundreds, landlords will do when they hear on the news that everyone will now have an additional, say $1000/month.

PRNE,
@PRNE@weatherishappening.network avatar

@wordshaper @ovid you are correct that any one rent seeker capturing 100% of the UBI is not tenable, but all of them together will, or will come very close, unless the market itself is controlled. Witness poor people on benefits today still struggling.

America has a problem with oppositional defiance and it's only going to keep making things worse.

We got maga because white folks didn't like being called out on their bullshit.

We have resist libs cheering on police brutality bcs they don't like Biden being criticized.

We have folks on the left claiming that loan forgiveness never happened despite hundreds of billions being forgiven.

Just flush the country down the toilet.

@majorlinux @BlackAzizAnansi Biden said he would give relief to everyone with student loans and that was absolutely a lie. I didn't have a dime forgiven myself. If Biden didn't lie I would be debt free at this point.

I was just informed by one of the admins that I have 14 days to leave functional.cafe after I called a troll doing genocide apologia in my comments a zionist ape, where should I go? What servers don't bow to the complaints of ?

Functional.cafe are claiming I'm simply a multiple offender of their rules, which i will admit is true ever since they changed their rules, but I would like for it to be clear. They changed their rules in October specifically to accommodate Zionists complaining about my posts, the very day a tagged post of mine blew up and became among the most shared BDS posts on the activity pub network. I initially agreed to CW political posts, but as 's in has accelerated, killing all but one of my students in Gaza along with most of their families, I've concluded that hiding this behind content warnings is itself bowing to mild repression for the sake of satisfying the demands of the most extreme oppression: genocide.

I've seen plenty of pro-genocide posts in the local server feed. I dont think they are being asked to leave or even getting their posts censored, as mine increasingly have been (even removing posts with many likes from months ago, apparently on demand).

I'm sad I'll be losing all my past posts, especially those about and that I occasionally rediscover. Where can I go that won't turn similarly sour? My time with the may be up tbh. After being blocked and soft-blocked by nearly everyone I was buddies with in the community (for years!) for being an anti-genocide Jew, and now this, its quite clear that even spaces that act like they stand for universal liberties above all are actually willing supporters of the most oppressive regimes and ideologies on the planet. At least insofar as they are in origin and character.

German is full of tales of evil, prideful nobles who were eventually punished for their sins.

So why is modern media - starting with , and moving on from there - so full of pro- propaganda instead? Lots of "Just Kings", "Plucky Princesses", and so forth. Why is the implication in media nowadays that being exalted by the circumstances of your birth is likely to make you a good person? Instead of being totally oblivious to your own class privilege - and that's probably the best case!

I wonder if anyone has done any scientific research on all these "pro-monarchy" narratives in modern media, and how they came into existence.

@juergen_hubert fairly deliberate reinforcement of hegemony and existing economic relations obviously

I keep watching the steady stream of hacks, compromises, 0-days, and vulnerabilities that run across my feed every single goddamn day and think this is how we get regulation. And licensing. And liability.

I'm about at the point where I think we should, too. We really can't go on with everyone ignoring the hell out of safety issues (security issues are safety issues) and leaving everything, including random lightbulbs, vulnerable to external random fuckery.
