The revolutionary potential of a media platform is inverse to how mainstream it has become. Lemmy and mastadon don't need to be big to be influential because the people who show up to those platforms are (relatively) engaged in their AFK communities.

If the strategy is to use power we don't have to create new educational programs, then we're missing a step.

Agents without agency is some real double speak and might reflect how many view workers.

The line and reasoning is borrowed from "Bimbo - a philosophical analysis" : https://youtu.be/FeRIE6JDhCQ , the line "I'm not dumb enough to rationalize my way through life" is a rebuttal of Nietzsche type attitudes.

I'm not dumb enough to rationalize my way through life, so just go with what you're feeling. You don't need to rationalize it for it to be valid.

Zuck is fine with anticompetitive actions, he just thinks you need to InOvAtE to earn the right.

People like Luigi remind me of "The Children of Kali" from the book "The Ministry for the future". The Children of Kali targeted the owners of these multinational death machines but would not accept any collateral damage. Instead they were patient. The abusers got so scared they would never leave their house, but even that would not save them. Point is, these people follow a set of laws different from the ones that dominate society. They conducted themselves according to that law and that guided their assassinations. Something to think about as our own laws become lawless.

Then call it something else, conservatives love doing that. We're not forgiving, we're just unconditionally discharging the loans.

Most people don't watch politics, and people that do overwhelming voted Democrat in the last election. Mayor Pete or whoever isn't going to convince my dad that Fox news was lying to him the whole time. We really need a new media strategy that cuts the corporate network middleman out.
