  • The collective delusions have been there since 2015, not a COVID thing really. In 2020 there was hope that a lot of this would just pass and Biden won with a record number of votes. Can't argue with the rest though, I'm sorry you had it rough.

  • The internet used to be pretty much a totally independent space from IRL, the concept that you would willingly act as your real self on the internet to promote something in real life and willingly follow laws of nations and corporations and consume corporate products like adware websites without blocking the ads because laws IRL would say you did.

    Now it's all corposlop. Our last vestige is here.

  • Communes, to some degree, require alignment on morals and ideas of you do not have a state and a monopoly on violence. Even anarchist communes while technically encouraging cooperation through mutual reliance and that if one does something bad the others can choose not to associate with that individual and not cooperate with them.

    Some people take this idea and suggest that alignment based on solidarity of the working class towards each other based on their material circumstances and relation to the means of production is not by itself - enough, and that you need a common "culture" or in the extreme - an ethnostate.

    That's roughly what Mussolini was saying in "The Doctrine of Fascism", and there are many fascists and nationalists who believe communism is possible only amongst white people, or even just people of the same ethnic and cultural background.

    I don't agree with it, but that's at least my interpretation of how economic egalitarianism and collectivism can work with darwinist racist views.

    If you also do not agree with it, that is why being a "brocialist" is bad, you should of course focus in on the economic matters and be a materialist in all things, but Marx isn't end all be all of progressiveness and in the modern day if you want to actually be woke - you need to also incorporate intersectionality into your views of social injustices like LGBTQ rights and gender equality and anti-racism, lest you leave that door open all the way to the 'third position'.

    You wouldn't want to be this silly, would ya?

  • Yeh don't choose that one, just sign up on desktop and use Jerboa ngl the reason techbros win is most normies do not want agency, they want to turn their brain off and scroll whatever the algorithm serves up as they do.

    Technology Connections made a good video on this recently but I fear his plea will fall on deaf ears.

    Just like this article, no one's actually denying anyone the fediverse, we are literally right here.

  • Yes, marketing analytics software dev company I work for paid up. As far as I know so did our competition, the data is simply far too valuable, there's no substitute there.

    Honestly pretty sure not many people used 3rd party apps to begin with so I don't think it was to do with any of that like the other strangely confident commenters seem to imply.
