"Anyone who thinks the way to head off the tide of fascism is by limiting the range of political choices to either fascists or pro-business neoliberal technocrats is dooming us to fascism.' - David Graeber

What I get when trying to watch an announcement, when the entire political system is hooked on fascistic Big Tech:

YouTube: "Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot."

When I see this sort of thing from another "anti-Big Tech" initiative, I remember why I want to move forward with @thepeoplestech.bsky.social. I'm so tired of the grotesque false equivalence, acceptance of capitalism, and certainly the placation of right-wing politics.

"Politics

Don't be distracted by the presence of the word 'capitalism' in Surveillance Capitalism. It is a business model, not a political ideology. It's also known as the Surveillance Economy or the Attention Economy. Our focus is purely on undermining that business model.

Politically we welcome anyone - left or right leaning - as long as you are pro-democracy. We choose the good parts from both sides. All we can say for certain is that extremes are unhealthy, either on the left or the right."

Ha. Figures.

A web page that says "Your closest match: Greta Thunberg."

I was with you then, and I'm with you now: www.mediaactivist.com/the-spectre-of-starmer-keeps-haunting-me-2/

"Nothing will fundamentally change under Labour. Austerity will continue, the cost of living will become unbearable, and the culture wars will be reignited. Starmer, then, will likely lead to Farage actually entering and occupying No. 10 Downing Street."

I did indeed subscribe (to the combi - 2000AD *and* Judge Dredd!) and even signed up for the forum. But from the looks of this, it's Judge Dredd himself monitoring registrations rather than @molcher.bsky.social! (That'll teach me to use my real name for once!)

An email stating "Registration Rejected: JayBaker, Regrettably your application to join 2000 AD Online Forum has been rejected. Regards, the 2000 AD Online Forum Team."

Having bought (and loved) every Survival Street comic there is, there was only one thing left to do: get the sweater - and let more people know about this inspired, innovative, and cautionary comic book from the brilliant @jamesasmus.bsky.social!

A sweater with the Survival Street characters peering through at the viewer.

An interesting week in pop culture! Checked out the @2000ad.bsky.social podcast (or is that "Thrill-cast"?) because they talked about pro wrestling, then ended up enjoying a bunch of their episodes only to realise @molcher.bsky.social of course wrote this brilliant book I've been reading for while!

Me holding the book I Am the Law by Michael Molcher with a Stuart Hall picture on the wall behind that says "The Revolution Begins with Care."
