open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I do have to point out that there are many who are not, and have not benefitted from this, and that those protections and benefit haven't been a natural outcome of our system, but of generations of (largely but not entirely non-violent) mass struggle. I think of Malcom's knife metaphor here 160
open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 03/09/2026yeah 45% of people making under 25k (and not even people - *households*) doing well/living comfortably seems...idk, I'm trying not to jump to a "the data is broken/tainted" conclusion but I also do not understand how that number could be so high even with caveats 100
open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 03/09/2026demand is rising but right now 95% of compute is sitting idle, and this is only going to get worse as models get more efficient, and that's assuming companies *don't* give up on the AGI dream and pour infinite resources into training (compute heavy) vs better harnessing/RLHF (compute light) 300

open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 10/07/2026got instablocked by this person because i told her to join her real political party, the one that supports rape. the reason I've had a fraught relationship with "The Left", despite my socialist views is because a lot of "leftists" will negatively polarize themselves into Nazis to own the libs 1123

open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 21/06/2026As someone who wants Kamala to run again, this is 100% on point. 2024 could have been, maybe framed as her being a good soldier. 2028 will have no such mitigatory narrative. 120
open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 07/06/2026So a big part of the v***** stuff is specifically lower quintile wages are better, but it still sucks fucking ass to be in the lower quintile, and middle to upper middle class job creation has ground to a halt, especially in tech, which was one of the few middle class growth industries left 010
open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 28/05/2026He actually buried the lede that the real, rigorous data basically says the same thing as the payday loan data (namely most people can't handle an emergency expense without...a payday loan) 121
open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 22/05/2026ludwig von mises and murray rothbard are fascists btw 162
open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 06/04/2026this is honestly my article in a screenshot, nothing ever matters except Gender and the structural violence needed to uphold it, and fascism is just doing more structural violence, in a more unhinged way 041
open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Are they? One thing I wanted to emphasize is that when we look at what the fascist "mythic past" means - it really just means an idealized version of the power structures of the extra-human order 000

open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Now liking isn't quite = to willing to date, and I've had a few cis lesbians say something along the lines of "x body part is a deal breaker" but yea 100
open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 08/02/2026i generally don't use the phrase shitlib but i think this is an instance where that's the only term you can use here. asking "how are we going to deport people" in 2026 is CRAZY ASS WORK 010
open borders now @radtranslib.bsky.social · 03/02/2026i.imgur.com/WpuNeOt.png the thing is that I'm not sure ICE *can't*, because the provisions that allow la migra to arrest people without a warrant are Up To Interpretation 000
