RE: #enshitificaton of software, hardware, and services and the austerity to fascism pipeline. The state is just an older type of walled garden. The solution isn't to improve the walled garden, but to leave it forever.
When we build systems, together, that cannot be shut down, that exist outside of these political systems, then we are opting out. Anarchism is the open source option of political ideologies.

This reminds me of another quote, courtesy of the statistician and sociologist Adolphe Quételet:
“Society prepares the crime, and the guilty are only the instruments by which it is executed.” https://todon.eu/@anarchistquotes/115006479446719860

I just updated my reading guide, “Entry to Left-Wing Anarchist Reading” again!
I want it to be a curated path from beginner-friendly intros to deeper theory and real-world examples, enjoy!

"The arc of history bends towards justice."
- literally propaganda levels of distortion
- justice for whom?
- are you still talking about that weird Greeks -> Romans -> (white) Europeans -> American colonizers inconsistently ethnocentric idea of history?
"The arc of history bends towards material and sociological configurations which have long-term stability."
- true by definition
- highlights value of millennia-old indigenous sociological configurations and knowledge systems that are still around and which could reasonably outlast the current millennium-young self-destructive necropolitical mess
- applicable at any timescale of interest
- hard to say
Unfortunately, "nuclear wasteland" and "Venus" are both material configurations which have long-term stability, but history offers plenty of other options; not every human gets cancer.

Fun new piece of information. Google search results now include this text (I think it took less than an hour), but the LLM still doesn't know what a "walowadick" is.
This gives us a bit of signal, and we'll get some more as time goes on. Some of my other pieces, like the "towards a fractal anarchism" post on dbzer0 (https://slrpnk.net/post/18413750) has shown up in LLM results, but it seems like it took several weeks or maybe months.
So I'm guessing there are some regular encoding jobs, probably no more often than once every few months. It'll be interesting to get that signal and see what happens. I'd also be surprised if there isn't some kind of prioritization based on hits, but, again, we'll see what signal we get.

I feel like I should do that and write a response with this in mind...

Are you politically homeless? May I suggest: Anarcho-syndicalism! 😉

Hey, I’m your friendly neighborhood leftwing extremist; anarcho-syndicalist, anti-imperialist, non-binary mess (they/them, bi as fuck) from Bergen, Norway.
I overthrow capitalism in my free time because states are silly, bread is for the people, trans rights are sacred, and Thinkpads reign supreme 4eva, lol!! 🏳️‍⚧️💻

Painting a police car with a pride flag doesn’t change what it is, it’s still a police car.

It is almost amusing how many people parade themselves as anarchists, yet every word they speak reveals a commitment to syndicalism.
They cling to the wrong name like children gripping their toys, unaware that they have confused the label on the box with the object inside.
