@hex@kolektiva.socialOn the first day of the #PTSD intensive, we talked about the shooting. I had felt like I was done with that, that it didn't have anything left for me. But there was something still that filled me with rage... that is still confusing and enraging.
It wasn't actually being shot. I wasn't even the possibility of death. I had been prepared to die. I always knew that was possible. It was something else.
I remember Marc Hokoana's face as he pepper sprayed pacifists, smiling and taunting, joyfully hurting people who he knew were refusing to respond. I remember their flags, the kek flag, literally a Nazi battle flag replaced in 4chan colors with the clover 4chan logo instead of the swastika. How many people have been tortured, have died? How much suffering, that these people not only welcomed but celebrated, joyfully participated in.
The cruelty was the point. It was the plan, the plan he posted to Facebook, the same plan as they have always had, of torturing people until someone responds and then murdering them. Inflicting trauma, responding with overwhelming force, showing how "big and strong" they are because they can always escalate.
Try to stop someone from peppers praying people, they shoot you. Shoot back, like Michael Reinoehl, and they send a death squad for you. But we keep standing up, so they keep escalating to the slightest imagined infraction. Now they just murder you for being in a car, for filming at a protest, for existing.
The bar for what justifies murder or torture will continue to move lower until there is no one left, or until they can no longer escalate.
The feeling of helplessness is still not the biggest thing though. It's the joy with which they inflict this on us. That's it. That's the thing.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioSo I finally (what, a decade behind popular trends??) am having reason to experiment with actual use of Docker in production, and…I’m surprised at how disappointing it is.
The configuration is clumsy, a dangerous mix of boilerplate and footgun customization points. The dockerfile / compose division of labor is nonsensical; it apparently grew by accretion instead of design. There are lots of loose ends left for hosting services to tie up, and the product thus fails in what would seem to be a primary goal of avoiding hosting vendor lock-in.
Am I simply Not Getting It Yet™, or is the state of the art actually like this?

@hex@kolektiva.socialSo the collective trauma reaction against the Church, so deep for those of us coming from the tradition of the European Left, alienates us from those indigenous comrades of ours who refused to let their identities be erased. It alienates us from Black and Latin American comrades who, in some cases, have subverted that same religion from a tool of oppression to a tool of resistance.
It also alienates us from our pagan, Jewish, and even Christian ancestors. Rather than a rejection of the genocides, crusades, and pogroms carried out to solidify the hegemony of the Church, a chauvinistic atheism affirms it under another name. Likewise it affirms the patriarchs who burned witches and destroyed midwifery to shift power over to male doctors.
The "Enlightenment" paradigm of "Reason," that led through secularism to the anti-religious antagonism of Bill Maher and the New Atheists, is laced with an Islamophobia and anti-Semitism rooted in the same church they claim to reject. And anyone who has been paying attention can see that it opens the door to the far right anti-Semitism and Islamophobia that also grows from that same root...

@cjust@infosec.exchange @mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsKinda related to #Gentoo, so cool" or "they stopped using it, so sad". And I'm like, "why should we care?"
Do they donate money to Gentoo? They don't. And if they did, it would probably come with obligations making this not worth it.
Do they contribute back? Rarely, and if they do, they are unreliable. They benefit more than we do. They just want to dump the packages they need, quickly duct taped together, so that we would maintain them going forward. Their employees rarely reveal that they're paid to do this, and if they do, it's not so they'd be held to higher standards, but to emphasize their importance: "you must placate us."
Well, sometimes they hire Gentoo developers. It's nice that these developers get some gratification for their work, especially if they're able to continue contributing on work time. But in the end, company priorities win. We are either left with loads of new packages with no maintainer and unclear significance, or a Google employee who appeared every once in a while to dump a bunch of ChromeOS patches and never bothered handling the fallout.
So, sorry, but I'd rather care for volunteers who want to make Gentoo better, than companies who see some profit incentive in it.
PS. I'm probably focusing too much on the negative aspects, and we likely had some positive interactions that are far less known and usually don't meet with such fanfare.

@hex@kolektiva.socialPropaganda of the deed generally does the opposite of what it's supposed to do: it alienates rather than activates, destroying the movement it comes from. Until it doesn't. Until it actually sparks a revolution.
But there is a prerequisite for a successful revolution. That is an alternative system to pivot into as the old one collapses. That alternative is *far more dangerous* than any one-off action, up to and including literally killing a king or an emperor.
People will eventually rise up. That's just a matter of time. The question is what's left after everything gets burned down. That's a far more important question than, "is it happening?" It's happening (sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly), what's next?
Hierarchy manifests complexity beyond its ability to manage. We're seeing that now, we will see it more. Distributed authority is more stable. Build a distributed society within the burned out warehouse of the hierarchical one.

@hex@kolektiva.socialThe existence of Israel is a manifestation of European antisemitism, both historically justifying the project of Zionism and European governments continuing to fund Israel instead of addressing the core role of antisemitism in maintaining (at least) the conservative elements of the neoliberal order.
If antisemitism props up Israel, then a core part of dismantling Israel (and thus saving the lives of Palestinians) is addressing European antisemitism. There are Israeli Jews who would leave if they felt safe to do so. There are Jews demanding Israel be armed, because they don't feel safe anywhere else.
Protest, boycott, take whatever action you feel is appropriate. There is a limit to your ability to convince governments to stop funding genocide, but you can learn about antisemitism and you can work to fight it, especially within "The Left." You can learn to distinguish between legitimate critiques of Israel, and antisemitic ones, and you can stand and call out antisemitic ones.
Honestly, this is some of the easy work that I think a lot of people don't consider even doing, don't even realize it is a thing that can be done.
I'm talking to Israeli folks who identify as being on the Left. It's hard because they've been through a lot of propaganda. Israel is a cult that terrorizes its members. This is important work that can have a huge impact, because it focuses on dismantling the networks of support that reinforce what's happening now.
Meanwhile, I still run into wild things like "Rothschild" conspiracy theories among people who identify with the idea of supporting Palestinians.
Not only can you support the liberation of Palestine and the Palestinian people while opposing antisemitism, but you must actually do both in order to do either. They are exactly the same fight, and anything short of both is thrashing against oneself.
