    @amylsacks Politics in the US isn't really about Trump, even though I'm sure he would like to be the focus of everything. If Trump was replaced tomorrow in all likelihood very similar policies would continue.

    Yes Trump is a fool, and such is the business of being an entertainer turned president. It's possible that his foolishness and past indiscretions might catch up with him, and he might be impeached before his term is up. Even if that happens though there will continue to be problems.

    @dtluna @xj9 But the Austrian school depends upon a system of ideas which are non-falsifiable, and not even intended to be empirically tested.

    @xj9 @thisisleeloo There is no incremental change as far as I can foresee which will break the stranglehold of capitalism. Voting for this or that neolib isn't going to cut it.

    @xj9 @thisisleeloo Given the history of imperialism and the amount of ongoing accumulation by disposession I think it's pretty debatable whether capitalism is evil or not. Certainly it has mass casualties dwarfing all previous economic modes.

    @xj9 @thisisleeloo Not here it ain't. The last I read there were a million people using food banks. That wasn't even a thing a decade ago.

    @maiyannah @jehu It depends a lot on the ideas which are common during the tipping point. The way things are going I think we will see new phases of nationalization similar to what happened in the last century, but if the people around at the time are smart enough then they'll know that just establishing a new state and having it run everything doesn't work well and soon becomes a problem as bad as the preceding regime.

    @jehu And this gets to the heart of it - the unsustainability of social reproduction in the current regime of things.

    I think what's going to happen will be more interesting than the simple Singularitarian scenarios. On paper, or more likely in a database or perhaps more trendily a blockchain, a small number of super-rich individuals own half the world. But what does this ownership actually comprise of? I mean, in pure materialistic nuts-and-bolts terms. Really it boils down to people's willingness to abide by and enforce certain systems of rules, which are primarily made by the rich to serve their own interests.

    As more of the population becomes surplus to Capital and falls outside of its reproduction cycle I think those rules will melt away like spirits in the mist. Sure, the super-rich will try to use the most automated methods to maintain enforcement, and this is what's happening now with bulk surveillance and militarized police. Ultimately though there will just be more of us than them and I think attempts at automated lockdown of all peoples will fail.

    @cosine Often the Free Software people I've met were also involved with other types of activism and apart from the pragmatic aspects it was part of their overall goal to lead a better kind of life which meant that they needed to make fewer compromises and be less reliant on corporations.

    Installing Gentoo has been driving me nuts. Not only is the handbook flat out not funcitonal in some places (Like "make boot" not working after make and make module_install and genkernel failing unless you first do "emerge --ask sys-kernel/genkernel" which is further down in the docs)

    It also takes ages. I might have to wait half an hour for a huge emerge job before I can even see what error it'll spit out.

    @cosine Besides just choosing hardware which will run a free stack I also write and recommend free software. For a few years I was part of the Manchester Free Software group, attended events and gave a couple of talks.
