also. the thing people hate is not ‘the technology’ it is the tech industry. they hate move fast and break things. they hate having everything they say tracked and processed while companies do whatever they want. they hate every single ideological value that animates silicon valley

Once again, I must point out that Captain Planet villains were more nuanced, justified, and sympathetic than our current crop of fascist oligarchs. And said villains include a Dr. Blight, who built a time travel machine to team up with actual Hitler.

This tracks with larger patterns in far-right spaces and offers a dark mirror of what happened in the 80s. The presence of Trump & failure of media to hold the GOP to account has actively emboldened the far-right in ways that guarantee violence when they face setbacks and reversal.

I think the fundamental problem with how AI is being treated, as opposed to the actual reality of AI, is that its biggest proponents call their creations God-like and treat them like toys. The hubris & irresponsibility in that mentality is more than enough reason to take those toys away from them.

Remember the so-called Battle of Berkeley, that time when Milo tried to give a speech at UC Berkeley & cancel culture discourse flew into overdrive? The direct cause of that demonstration was Milo threatening to read off a list of names of undocumented UC Berkeley students. He wanted this.

Heathenry, Paganism, and Witchcraft are among the fastest growing religions in the US today because we represent ideas whose time has come. Our future lies with pluralism and solidarity w/the oppressed, and we will only need shoved back into history by extreme force. #HeathenSky #PaganSky #WitchSky

Two thoughts on this great interview by @bradleyonishi.bsky.social: 1) Unapologetic progressivism are part of what draws ex-mainline & ex-hardline Christians to Paganism & Witchcraft 2) From a Heathen view, you CAN beat far-right spirituality. You will have to fight like a junkyard dog to do it.
