techbros are so disillusioned with reality, they spent too much time reading sci fi and playing 4X games where technology is on this linear path that obviously leads to nano tech dysonspheres or whatever. They got fooled by a bunch of grifters and marketers that if they just invested 500 thousands quajillions dollars in bullshit ideas based on whack research then surely things will become just like in star trek!

"If slavery persists as an issue in the political life of black America, it is not because of an antiquarian obsession with bygone days or the burden of a too-long memory, but because black lives are still imperiled and devalued by a racial calculus and a political arithmetic that were entrenched centuries ago. This is the afterlife of slavery" -- Saidiya Hartman, _Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Route_

Maybe people who meditate one hour/day are happier because they live a life that affords them one hour/day to meditate

post-left is literally a right-wing philosophy, and it's barely disguised. They're people who became disillusioned with the left and gave up revolutionary aspirations. It's inherently reactionary

i am acutely aware i have it better than a lot of other people. i see it every day. To me, i dont think i could live with the idea that im happy with what i have and that i dont need to make life better for people suffering every day even if it means losing the things i enjoy right now, in this real world. i guess im built different (not dipshitted)

why's it always the people making the decision to defederate being blamed for "fragmentation" and not the people hosting instances so shitty everyone feels unsafe federating with them 🤔

Every day I see more and more evidence of society descending into utter lawlessness and chaos.

So weird how "free speech" has to include attacks on marginalized people, but can never include fighting back against oppressors.
