The problem with Marxist-Leninist style communism is that it seeks to convert the state into basically a giant singular monopoly corporation. Think ACME in the Looney Tunes cartoon shows, but with GUNS. It's absurdity: thinking you can somehow abolish capitalism by utterly maximizing it.

The history of oppression is far grander than just capitalism. Capitalism is simply the latest, biggest version. Just saying that for all the "red fash" tankies and the like who want to marry leftist economic politics or revolutionary aesthetic with right wing social politics like racism & TERFism.

All ethics I feel boils down to 2 things: first, do no harm; second, respect others' agency. Both of these are to be interpreted in a "do not perpetrate" sense. Defensive harm, and restraint of a perpetrator who has used their agency to initiate harm, are different.

I have noticed a seeming contingent of rather progressivey-lefty-activisty types who also appear to be endorsing alt med conspiracy theories like anti-vaxx, anti-mask theories. I don't think these pseudo/anti science theories do good to the causes. What do you say?

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Congratulations to rightwing anti-vax forces: you've reintroduced a deadly, vaccine preventable disease back into American society.

It's not just that Musk's "DOGE" is fascist, techbro capitalist, and illegal, that's the problem. It's ALSO a huge problem he has hired 25 YEAR OLD JUNIOR DEVS to write the most important code in the government! On top of corruption, let's add incompetence!

Views and opinions should not be held so strongly that they become an identity. Ever. Even "true" ones.

Mixing leftist/progressive politics with far-right or right-hatched conspiracy theories - even if "just a bit" - I don't think is a very good brew, and may even be dangerous. Esp. if some of the cited sources are from Supremacist Racists.

Criminal justice should be about making reparations for victims and healing communities more than about trying to "punish" someone so much that they are utterly destroyed and broken - only to be released again on that same community. Oh yeah and if there's no victim it shouldn't be a crime.

Neither autism nor drugs nor both together (which exhaust all possibilities) make you do Sieg Heil. End of story.

Vaccine denial is not new - in fact, it goes back to the very earliest days of vaccines. Indeed, the same core ideas about the superiority of "natural" healing and questions of personal freedom were there from the beginning. What has changed is the presence of social media.

Here's the sun setting in the smoke of up to 5 wildfires behind an island the fossil fuel industry built to hide their oil drilling derrick. If you're into symbolism. Taken at 4:52pm today in Long Beach, CA

An island which is clearly bullshit with the sun setting behind a layer of smoke above it. Normally the sun sets at the Horizon though there is often a cloud layer there there's definitely some Wildfire smoke mixed in as well

Cruelty is never a good policy. Ever. That's not something I will negotiate on or concede in any circumstance.

This was *conservative* in 1962. Admittedly in UK, not USA, but still. Think about this. And this is simply regulation on capitalism. It's still capitalism. Yet this is apparently "dangerous as hell from 'unintended consequences'" and will "leave everyone jobless" according to some today.
