Ton of fascists trying to push platforming racism, xenophobia and other hate in cyberpunk & game groups again under the guise of 'freeze peach'. Had to kick a bunch of fucking Shapiro worshipers.
Some days it's exhausting being a POC game dev on the left when gaming is the prime engine of the fash pipeline.
But then who else is going to do it? Certainly not the AAA game companies who make 'cyberpunk games' but ignore the hate in their communities, let it fester for $$$

@anarchistquotes Also, arguing, "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" is literally borrowing a line from Hitler's chief propagandist.

Happy Mothers Day! Sentient Humanoid, Chimera, Transhuman or otherwise, may your mother's cyberpunk dystopia be slightly less so than the one in Neofeud.

I'm not anti-space or tech. I just believe tech should benefit all of us, not make a few of us $50,000,000,000 per year and leave everyone else to cut back on food, haircuts, and 'non-essential internet' then be blamed for 'killing the haircut industry' as the USA article suggested
Fully Automated Luxury Space / Earth Communism 100%.
But we're heading toward Fully Automated Capitalist / Fascist Space Paradise for a handful of rich white dudes and American Hellscape-but-worse for the rest.

@Zoe Yep, normalizing the idea of strikes and collective action as an everyday and necessary part of life in America is key.

If a sex strike is what it takes to teach normie women what collective action and solidarity are about I am fine with it tbh. I must admit though that I hope kate makes the other choice.

@a_breakin_glass @alex I just watched a Youtube video where they try gendered products and holy crap I had no idea how bad it's become. Gender-based marketing with like, 'manly dog soap' and 'big boy' wet wipes in all black packaging with like flames and shit!?

Bezos wants to unironically create sci-fi dystopias where the $150,000,000,000-aires live in orbital resorts and the 99.999% slave in factories on a gradually uninhabitable, slum-scape, fascist-ridden Earth

'if humanity moves out into the solar system we could have “a trillion humans” which means “we could have a thousand Mozarts and Einsteins.”'
How about all the potential 'Einsteins and Mozarts' instead slaving in your capitalist Amazon sweatshops to make rent, Jeff?

In case anyone ever tells you "strikes don't work": Uber is now the worst performing IPO debut in U.S. history. They lost $617 million today because their stock declined almost 8% (due to the double whammy of the strike and tariff increases), and their IPO valuation was $76.5 billion, far lower than $90 billion or $120 billion some "analaysts" (read: fortune tellers) were speculating they'd value at.
Power to the workers.

@alex Damn, brokest thing of the day.
Reminds of that one alt-right dude who started baking bread but insisted he wasn't baking, he was a 'bread scientist, cause men do science' or some nonsense. 😂
