nes cionomen @nescionomen.bsky.social · 30/09/2026No. There is an infinite space between paid and forced which aren’t even poles. The ops point is that it’s clear that work itself vs recreation isn’t a one sided victory. “No one would clean sewers without being paid!” has no basis. There has never been a system to even understand the statement 000
nes cionomen @nescionomen.bsky.social · 30/09/2026All this seems to do is create a split in the audience. In the end it does sort of suck because from the economic side, the people that do appreciate the craft side of it will lose out as economies of scale fade. 000

nes cionomen @nescionomen.bsky.social · 28/09/2026How do we actually measure these things? The reason this conversation is occurring is because you could reasonably get a yes from someone in Karachi if they listened to Michael Jackson back in the 80s.

nes cionomen @nescionomen.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Given today’s news this is so funny. She clearly picked up the far right playbook so long ago. I expect this to be a play to get some sort of bari Weiss style treatment. Given that she’s followed a very similar route to Greenwald, I think this is pure cynicism coupled with addictions. 110
nes cionomen @nescionomen.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It’s breaking news, but I wish someone would do an investigative piece on this. It’s old hat, but it’s so clear that the former BCLib/SoCreds are taking marching orders from business leaders (Wilson etc.) It feels like a shadow government. 000
nes cionomen @nescionomen.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Pedantry: the BCLibs won the most single party votes in 2017 but essentially lost the election because the Greens were never going to work with them.
