Damn, congrats bro! I kind of imagine that being anti-Zionist puts you on the fast-track to all of your comments getting reported… whether it changes how reddit addresses you is a different question.

Just checked out this HILARIOUS line from their harassment policy:

This policy is designed to protect people from targeted personal abuse, not to shield ideas, beliefs, organizations, or public figures from criticism, even if it’s harsh.

In my case, they shielded the public figure of Bill Maher, the beliefs of Zionists, and the subreddit mods–so 0/3 at actually honestly enforcing their policy.

I posted the Blursed Torso of Elon Musk and it got shadowbanned, then reversed, and I never found out what that was about… but there was plenty of Musk-hate to go around on reddit, but I think you may have been an early adopter. I was an active on a hilarious ironic sub making fun of Musk and Muskheads, but it quickly lost its sense of humor; because I’m a craftsman who takes his art seriously and respects his audience, I refused to /s my comments and almost all my comments fell victim to Poe’s Law. Very annoying.

I’m here, ain’t I?

Dems are going to be cleaning house soon. Republicans are probably just a few years behind. No dog likes getting wagged by its tail–it’s an intensely uncomfortable and unmistakable experience.

No doubt we’ll have to wait for the justices to age out, though.

Israel’s deffos lost its halo in the last few years. Doubt you’ll find a jury in 2026 willing to squint their way to seeing fraud as ok in service of a genocidal arpartheid ethnosupremacist state.

I remember hearing about this exact case in New York State like 10 years ago. How long ago can you run this scam?

Yeah, my old and quasi-semi-current carreer is in social work, and I can’t get a job because I keep talking about wanting to remove barriers between me and the people I work with and not wanting to be “the expert” talking down to them. Job search poison.

There’s a wonderful dissertation written about social work and education are actually the domain primarily of white women, granted that privilege by the white patriarchy in exchange for servicing the white patriarchy. Love and Treason: https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/educ_llss_etds/124/ I wouldn’t let social work off the morally compromised hook merely on the basis of the existence of hiearchy.

In my own currernt work, I see how the governing board primarily reflects the desires of privileged white funders, and I see how everyone’s position is based on kissing ass, at the expense of the people we putatively serve but are functionally just excuses by which we maintain our position and status. I’ve brought up at least one regular and flagrant ethical violation with absolutely nothing done because it serves the interests of the institution to continue.

There is a position in social for peer advocacy, recognized in my state, that I’m training for. But it’s a step down in every way from what my training is, it’s a dead-end job, and, again, I’m probably never going to get hired because I’m overqualified and I’m going to have authority by my education and training beyond the low-totem pole position of a peer advocate.

Anyway. What are you doing for work?

Resources for connecting with other anarchists and learning more about anarchist philosophy without Gramsci-levels of linguistic abstraction?

I can downvote AND talk to you, though, right?

I’d say most of the points are nonsenically complicated replacements for a universal basic income. Your AI’s plans sounds like hell to administer.

I guess I don’t understand why we are talking about a chat with an LLM. What value does it have?

I think we’ll be lucky if it’s dotcom 2.0. I think it’s going to be more 1929 Re-imagined.

Cow tools would have amazing collector’s value, though, and you could put the cows to work for the price of hay.

I remember newspaper machines used to have have boxes with the day’s paper. You’d put a few coins in, open the box, and take one paper from the stack. I imagine that was also an available resource for merchandise for re-sale.

I hear people in Argentina are hard-selling socks in the street, too, so the tradition is still alive.

What AI money are we even talking about? AI is burning capital hoping to capture a market that will never be profitable because the service is not worth the electricity is costs.

Stick to movies because as a writer, I’m not sure what your point is.

But you might like r/okbuddycinephile better… nobody there even watches movies.

Meanwhile, Kevin:

En ingles decimos “police involved fruitable”.

That’s right: my portmanteau implies that tomato is a vegetable. Fight me.

It’s called “the husband stitch” becase because it was done for the husbands pleasure, not for the wife’s medical needs, often without the wife’s consent. It also might cause sex to be more painful for the woman, even as it was more pleasurable for the man; which is too bad for the woman, because her husband had a legal right to rape her in the United States until the 1970s.

Hm. This is my first comment on Lemmy. Woo hoo!

I’m middle-aged and recently had what I consider to be a quasi-psychotic break: I realized that society is built on institutions–whether explicitly like the government, or implicitly like white supremacy–and pretty much to get ahead in any organization, you are judged primarily by how you serve the institution or those inside of the institution.

What really blew my mind is realizing the social work–the field I was in–was actively supporting whtie supremacy even as everyone in the field would deny any such thing. People serve these systems unknowingly, like the coppertops in the Matrix…

As a result, I’m pretty pessimistic both for society and for my future job prospects.

Does anarchy have any intersection with this collection of beliefs?
