combat_brandonism [they/them]

shows how low the bar is and how shit just about every other politician in the neoliberal west is at clearing it

fair enough, just wild that a ‘muh red fash’ would call us right and lemmygrad left, you’d think their brainworms would result in the opposite

you can tell they’re liberals though cause it’s see-see-pee

Lemmygrad’s pro-ukronazi? seems unlikely

a large part of the population lives in poverty,

lately

probably due to burn this account, but from my pov being there it was a bunch of crusty occupy libs taking the breaking of a police line after a week or two of nightly standoffs and trying to turn it into another occupy, when it was ground no one wanted to hold. we were there because the cops were there, once they left we had no reason to stay, especially because no one was prepared to loot the precinct

JBGC still did some community defense, libs did their best performative scolding to shame anyone even thinking about looting a precint, Kshama took some marchers on a tour of city hall, long-neglected and displaced people in the community got to air grievances, we housed and fed some people for a few months in Cal Anderson and some kids got a little revolutionary education mixed with some black capitalism. oh well, after shit started settling down pnwylf (for all their sectarian nonsense) redirected the liberal energy into doing yet another solidarity march (this time for portland) as cover for sabotaging the new youth jail (and massive giveaway to developers) being built just a few blocks away. probably the most significant action of the summer.

Contrast that with the rich history of occupations in Seattle which led to real and long-term concessions that materially improve peoples’ lives (even if they got divorced from broader revolutionary activity)

then a couple weeks later once the libs felt sufficiently shamed there was a big unlicensed march through the CD into beacon hill that just inconvenienced the people in the town the march was for

tl;dr - no more or less effective than the black bloc solidarity action that kicked things off that summer, or the annual unlicensed may day march.

I had to block these two turbolibs for my own sanity, but fucking thank you. A+ post

Would not be shocked if these two fomented the but-do-you-condemn-Luigi scolding session we had back in December

it’s not a shift when you take even a cursory glance at the conditions. it’s the good cop of genocide.

also the kkk card

git-flow, which may have its own SCP entry

i’d read the shit out of that, git flow is so cursed lol

never forget bruce perens is a virulent misogynist.

probably why he hasn’t been active in debian stuff for decades afaik

sorrynotsorry for being mad about the social murder of over a millios of our fellow proles in the last five years, and during the HIV epidemic before that

I’ll self-crit the second you anarcho-bidenists do some self crit over you’re knee jerk defense of the institutions of this cursed settler state.

yeah and they’re the boots on our neck doing the social murder when it is. from HIV to covid, the CDC is not good

lol that second paragraph tho

I think you’re spending too much time on bluesky comrade. It’s not just that the blue capitalists feign interest in public health for electoral gain, they are just as interested in forcing public health bureaucrats to issue recommendations favorable to the bosses regardless of the public health impact as the red capitalists.

the best thing for the planet is the latter (in that it would leave it to open source & China), but I think we’re well past the sunk cost inflection point so I don’t think capital will abandon slop machines except to leave suckers holding the bag as the bubble pops.

we’re rapidly approaching that bubble popping in the next few years, but we’re probably a decade or two before enshittification really hits. they’re not injecting ads in agent or chat bot interactions yet after all.

the Steve Yegge article where he talked about companies incentivizing token spend and using it as a metric of assessing the performance of a developer

oo please share, I trust his takes way more than the Zitron slop folks have been sharing

Not that I think he’s wrong per se, it’s just the phenomenon where I know more than a journalist and so immediately get suspicious where they’re covering an area I understand better than them. Case in point, two comments up this thread where Zitron’s targeting Anthropic with his cost vs. revenue analysis when Cursor is re-selling their model for an order of magnitude less (vs. Claude Code) and clearly subsidizing it with VC bux.

the same CDC that issued return to work guidelines that kowtowed to capital in 2021-22 and has done fuck-all since*?

what sort of lib shit is this,

*except when pressured by labor
