look when i first heard "the sharing economy" i thought it meant "a cooperative end to scarcity" so i am extremely disappointed that it just means "worse jobs for worse pay"
we got all these half-measures: localstorage isn't a filesystem or a database, service workers aren't background processes, etc., so we abstract this nonsense to match patterns like filesystems and databases and background processes -- the patterns used everywhere else. and still! hardly any of it prompts the user for permission.
it's a mess and the folks leading the charge are led by cash and traffic. it's gonna stay a mess.
if we're going to treat the browser like a VM hypervisor then can we please get real VMs with real permission models instead of continuous half-measures PLEASE
if your news source is filled to the gills with coverage of everything fascists say, even if they claim to disagree, it’s probably controlled opposition. i tell you: deplatform nazis.
if your news source generally affects a lefty perspective but then includes articles espousing fascist talking points, or guest editors from fascist mags writing about civility, it’s probably controlled opposition. i tell you: there can be no compromise with machinery that wants you dead.
@hhardy01 i figured you might bring that up, but it’s sure a weird bit to deploy in the context of advocating allegiance to people who call black children “super predators” and who supported efforts like marriage equality only when it became a political liability to oppose it. why would such fair-weather friends stand by me in the darkness when they would not stand with me in the light?
@hhardy01 idk if you’re consciously stripping content warnings from this thread but if you are i’d prefer you stopped.
i also dont know why you feel such faith that war criminals will excel as antifascists, when during their own tenures they laid, expanded, and normalized the authoritarian structures you complain about now. trump didn’t open the camps, but he expanded them.
@hhardy01 whoa whoa whoa that’s a weird list of allies you got right there
the military-industrial complex is not your friend unless you’re no friend of mine, comrade
i’m not gonna bow down to spineless bluebloods because there’s a fascist in power, especially because there’s a fascist in power. the playbook from 1930s berlin is on display for all to see and just as then we now witness centrist opposition in freefall, normalizing fascism a little more each day.
@hhardy01 i'm not saying influencing the law is a useless project, but i am saying it's *not enough* especially while that law continues to murder us. i advocate for a diversity of fronts ✊
there are a couple feds on scene that didn't cover their faces (many did) but are still shying away from cameras. bowing their heads. averting their eyes. fidgeting nervously. ashamed.
take responsibility for your compliance, pigs. there is no Just Following Orders. we must all take responsibility for the machinery we enable, no matter how cruel or vicious or overwhelming.
the main camp isn't dismantled. discipline is holding. remember when occupy survived police sweep after police sweep? we have tactics for this. the occupation will go on.
abolish and prosecute ICE! hold every fascist accountable!
armed federal agents entered the ICE building this morning. DHS handed out flyers indicating that it is illegal to block access to federal property — but the building isn’t on federal property. ICE is simply one of its tenants. the occupation remains strong and well-organized but more bodies will help prevent any further federal activity. portland police remain uninvolved.
come reinforce the occupation! disrupt fascism @ 4310 SW Macadam Ave
if you work at microsoft, or at any company that serves ICE or any agency that assists them, give your bosses hell for it. publicize the contracts. demand answers. agitate! organize!
if you have ever dragged IBM for helping nazis organize concentration camps, recognize ICE's camps for what they are and hold collaborators to account! ✊ 🔥
there must be consequences for fascists and their collaborators
> Public records indicate Morrison Child & Family Services has received $53.7 million in federal funds since 2009 under the Unaccompanied Alien Children’s Program. > Metal bars on several exterior windows of the shelter serve as a reminder that the migrant children are in federal custody. They can’t leave.
