With Trump in the White House,
it is easy to see that the big anniversary ahead will pass over the fact that the US’s revolutionaries instituted one of the world’s richest, most powerful slave societies,
which their descendants overthrew.
Showcased instead will be paeans to the pioneer spirit, military power and business civilization as the embodiment of the country’s perfect, flawless revolution,
perhaps with a little plantation nostalgia on the side.

Content warning: Abject Doomerism, but ICBW
I was convinced in my teens that we were screwed. Then I read about how we’d have commercial nuclear fusion by 2015… And the tech revolution made the picture rosier too. Plus, democracy had a few good years globally. I gained enough hope for the future to marry and even have a kid at 25.
The last 25y have been like the back 3/4 of a roller-coaster: a wild ride but on balance it’s all downhill. I believe that we are fucked as a civilization & maybe as a species. (1/2)

The revolution will not be AI-ised
The revolution will not be brought to you by Facebook or Grok in four parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not be sponsored by Google Gemini or Anthropic's Claude.
The revolution will be no re-run, brothers
The revolution will be live.
The revolution will not be AI-sized.

I tried to write something up to talk about an idea, but it didn't quite work. I have a lot more I need to put into it. But I want to get an idea out, and, after talking with a person who pointed out some of the flaws in what I wrote, I think I can maybe write down the kernel of the idea here.
An acquaintance of mine did a deep dive on Operational Art and wrote his thesis (which prompted an earlier set of posts and an article I wrote for my professional-ish blog) on the intersection of the OODA loop and critical philosophy. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about Kilcullen's Three Pillars model (after watching Andrewism's wonderful video) and Beer's VSM. The TL;DR of it is that there's a much better insurgency model. Of course, the insurgency model also works for a bunch of other things, because cybernetics lets you do all kinds of cool abstraction like that.
So as I was reading the essay of a comrade the other day, that model popped back into my head and I'm going to try to share what I can of it.
When colonizers came to the Salish region, they saw what they believed to be an untouched wilderness. They failed to see the ways in which Salish people tended the land. Indigenous fire practices were common on the northwest coast, and the suppression of those practices remains a problem. There is an interrelationship between an environment and the systems within it. Systems, like people, animals, and cultures, adapt to the environment. In doing so, those systems will also change the environment.
Social technology was invisible, so colonizers defaulted to either some kind of Rousseauvian or Malthusian model of these people. They were not, for the colonizers, people who had developed advanced social technologies to live in harmony with their world. They were, rather, people in "a state of nature."
The European influenced left continues to draw this Rousseauvian model, which continues through a lot of Anarchist revolutionary thought. European anarchists were heavily influenced by observations and theories around the behavior of indigenous people. The remnants of this thought still exist in the idea that the system must only be destroyed for us to be free.
This is the same obliviousness to social technology, that social technology actually exists, often informs both early colonizers and modern radicals.
It is through this obliviousness that we fail to recognize how capitalism is a social technology that is managed into existence and maintained, and how changes in the environment can threaten institutions that have become over-adapted to a specific version of that environment.
We can extend Kilcullen's metaphor of a "conflict ecosystem" through cybernetics into a much more rich model, populated by viable systems. The ecosystem itself has a fitness function, which drives adaptation within the environment. But all actors in the environment also affect it. Some try to manage the environment. Revolutions are often over who manages a social ecosystem, over who controls the social technology and what it does.
Once we see this dynamic at play, calls of "riot" and "revolution" make a whole lot less sense. Rather, the question becomes, "how do we change the ecosystem in such a way that it cannot be 'managed' at all?"
Graeber/Wengrow talked about Turtle Island indigenous social technologies in Dawn of Everything, such as the system of moieties and clans described in the book. So I have a good reading list as I think through this model, but I hope the "ecosystem" model is helpful (if not completely fleshed out).
I'd be interested in any critiques or thoughts to help develop this idea more.

If you want to know what Rubio is trying to do, go listen to the Revolutions podcast on 1848. Metternich built a conspiracy of kings that persecuted Liberals in order to protect European empires against revolution. It failed, of course, but he was able to hold things down (right until it all blew up in his face). The strategy was essentially mass surveillance, censorship, and general Draconian repressieve bullshit.
Rubio is trying to slap together an actual international conspiracy of governments to stomp on the face of humanity forever, and his opening offer is off-brand 70's fear mongering that no one takes seriously.
He may well be right, in some ways. The thing he calls "civilization" is white supremacist patriarchal Christian nationalism, modeled loosely on Pinochet's Chile, Franco's Spain, Mussolini's Italy, and Putin's Russia. Yeah, "the left" is a *huge* threat to that type of shit. In fact, we always win.
But Rubio is Dollar Tree Metternich, and he's not trying to stop a liberal revolution near the birth of liberalism. He's trying to stop a leftist revolution that's been refining itself now against these same tactics for hundreds of years.
We already have the playbook he's using (poorly). It's just funny that the famous Marx quote about history repeating, "the first as tragedy, then as farce," is so applicable to this Rubio as he rails against the laughable boogyman of "Marxism."

I am more against AI slop in chat channels than I am against space-based securities scams.
You wanna do a space-themed securities scam and pass laws that mean the whole pension market has to invest then, uh.. I prefer you don't but, whatever. You do you I guess.
Let me know your victim's address so I can warn them?
But if you want to put machine-generated slop in my chat channels?
Now you are affecting me personally.
Chat with the bot to interrogate your understanding if you want? Sure. There might be better ways like a text-book. but it's undeniably quick to identify where you disagree with the average.
To proffer your please-o-bot conversation as any evidence of anything, or to think it contributes to a public channel of real humans who are saying actual human things which are not synthesized by robots?
The revolution ain't built like that man. That isn't how you build human communication channels.
Keep your conversations with robots as private as your interactions with the VR Porn.
Talk with the robots if you must but nobody wants to hear about that or your dreams.

yes trump this or trump that but i can't stop telling people how much i HATE gusanos marco rubio and ted cruz with a burning passion.
both (!!) fled cuba under BATISTA, ted cruz's father was even tortured in prison by batista's regime, marco rubio arrived in the US years before the communist revolution took place.
batista was the puppet dictator installed by the US, and his regime's slave based society is what the likes of fidel castro and che guevara fought against, yet these u…

From early on in the renewable revolution,
batteries were envisaged as a critical part of the puzzle.
Homes would be able to install panels on their roofs to capture and convert solar energy,
and batteries in their homes to store the energy and use it when they needed it.
But while solar panel prices fell rapidly a few years ago, it is only in recent years that batteries have become similarly available and affordable.

Wir können unsere Kinder nicht immer und vor allem beschützen, wir können ihnen nur die Werkzeuge¹ mitgeben, irgendwie in dieser Welt klarzukommen. Und das beinhaltet die Werkzeuge für eine ordentliche Revolution, um diese alten weißen Männer wie mich ordentlich aufzumischen und die kapitalistischen² Machtstrukturen niederzubrennen.³
Ceterum censeo jedes Kind hat das Recht vom Baum zu fallen.⁴

Die FAZ fragt zur Maybrit-Illner-Runde: „Wer hat Angst vor der KI-Revolution?" Antwort: offenbar niemand am Tisch — Wildberger optimistisch, Lobo mahnend, Yogeshwar erklärend. Nur leider fehlt Deutschland die Infrastruktur für den Optimismus. Digitale Souveränität bleibt Wunschdenken, solange wir von US-Clouds abhängen. #KI

If you thought you're not affected by fascists politics because you're not living in the USA, think twice... Growing fascists power will always come knocking at your door sooner or later if you don't oppose it actively.
Great to see people in #Albania stand against them

RE: #Boycott or economic blackout, #GeneralStrike, and #TaxStrike are escalations. Get in the streets and stay there. This is like a bouncer putting someone's arm behind their back and moving them.
Sometimes people try to slip out of that and fight back. Imagine if a bouncer just let themself get pummeled because they weren't ready, even after the belligerent asshole telegraphed it. A lot of bouncers take martial arts, not because they use it as a first response but because they want to be ready for those edge cases.
Armed revolution is like a bouncer getting down to brawl and calling in their buddy with the zip ties and bear mace. It's not something anyone starts with, or anyone wants to escalate to, but some people can't take a hint and are incapable of doing what's best for everyone.
Always know your next step (even if you hope you don't have to take it).
Imagine if a bouncer was just like, "oh, I asked him nicely but he told me to fuck off. I guess the creep who's punching random people and pissing in the corner runs the bar now."
