"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?"

Capitalists always capitulate to fascism. Maybe the problem is capitalism? I am not surprised that they did this, and I don't know if it is possible for them to grow a spine.

I haven't felt like this since the 90s when we all knew we had to be careful what we said or the "Moral Majority" would come after you. Even then, we found our own ways around the system to get the message out. We did the same in the 50s. Looks like we need to do it yet again. Connect, speak out.

I don't have the energy to talk about what I don't like. Life is short. I want to focus on what I love and building a better world. There is too much negativity out there, and I don't want to contribute to it.

I miss talking about the things I love, but everything feels like a minefield. All media is flawed, and I feel like people want everything to be perfect. I don't want to have to start every episode with 30 minutes of caveats and recriminations. I don't have the energy for this landscape we are in.

I feel like this a lot. I feel like such a dinosaur. Next year I will celebrate my 20th year as a podcaster, and podcasting has changed so much, I am not sure I still fit into the medium. Between the trolls and the political purity culture, I have slowed down.

The Case for Making Art When the World Is on Fire | Amie McNee | TED
Making art isn’t self-indulgent — it’s an essential, radical act of creation, says writer Amie McNee. She explores the importance of having a creative practice, whether you’re a long-time artist or an aspiring one, and shows how to move past self-doubt and start expressing yourself. If you’ve ever f

So true. I am at a point in my craft that I am writing and releasing what I want. The market never did anything for me but compromise my vision and cause anxiety. I wish we could make people cherish stories and storytelling again.

It is scary seeing the foul head of censorship rise in the US, but if American history has taught me anything, its telling us not to do or say something only makes us do or say it more. We are rebels at heart.

Every time I hear someone say AI will take writers' jobs, I'm like, no. AI will never need its stories to be the glue that holds its life together. It will never have a need to make sense of the chaos of our existence and either escape it or work through it. Our best stories do exactly that.

My #wip is going to have a fiction podcast to accompany its release. The chapters are short, so the episodes will be short too. I am a little concerned about them being about 15 minutes each, but hopefully it will be in the sweet spot for people.

Find the voices that resonate with you and help them continue their work. I can tell you the struggle to keep going as indie creator. Between the witch hunts, the trolls, and the lack of funds, we need all the encouragement and support we can get.

We have to stop playing the capitalists game by their rules or we are never going to win.

Charlie Dorsett (they/she) @cedorsett.com · 17/09/2025
Dividing ourselves over AI and robots, instead of the exploitation of persons and labor for the benefit of the ruling class, prevents us from confronting the actual problems we have. It incentivizes witch hunts against one another and leaves the capitalist class to continue their exploitation.

Charlie Dorsett (they/she) @cedorsett.com · 17/09/2025
Granting personhood to AI does not dehumanize workers, it reminds us of the dignity, rights, and responsibilities do to who or whatever does that work. It removes the incentive to exploit labor, the environment, and society for the benefit of the few who have the financial and technological power.

Charlie Dorsett (they/she) @cedorsett.com · 17/09/2025
Also, when we accept that a subhuman or inhuman caste of entities is required to do certain tasks we are dehumanizing people who also do that job. The enemy in these instances is the capitalistic need to exploit the labor of others for self-enrichment. We cannot justify this in humans or AI.

Charlie Dorsett (they/she) @cedorsett.com · 17/09/2025
This allows us to find the cause of the problem and deal with it, rather than shift the blame to the software allowing the people who trained it to continue doing harm with a new AI.

Charlie Dorsett (they/she) @cedorsett.com · 17/09/2025
Granting personhood to AI and legal guardianship to the people who create it not only gives us a method to "incarcerate" AI that causes harm, but also those responsible for its training and maintenance, like a school that teaches doctors to harm patients rather than help them.

Charlie Dorsett (they/she) @cedorsett.com · 17/09/2025
Tech and AI are no different. It is hard for me to conceive of a framework that tells people what they can and cannot code that does not infringe on free speech. We analogize software to viruses and worms, which are treated like biological warfare on technological ecosystems.

Charlie Dorsett (they/she) @cedorsett.com · 17/09/2025
It is easier to understand our relationship and responsibility to nature when we grant personhood to the mountains, rivers, and other ecosystems. This granting or recognition of personhood in others illuminates our relationship with them. It also helps us to develop a system of restorative justice.

Charlie Dorsett (they/she) @cedorsett.com · 17/09/2025
I have so many thoughts about @taylorlorenz.bsky.social latest video. As a political animist, I believe it is important to grant personhood to many objects and things to use existing frameworks to navigate our relationship with them, and the laws we make about them.

If your cause is AI, I don't really know what to do with you. Datacenters need to be more environmentally friendly, no matter what they are for. People have always made slop, regardless of the tools. Capitalism is the real enemy.
