- Big Oil
- Snake Oil

@madcollector@retro.pizza I’ve lived in Manchester and Sheffield and “love” and “duck” are more common east of the pennines. Whereas “pal” and “mate” are more common in the west.

Wether it’s Apple with their AR headset flop, Meta with their Metaverse fad or Microsoft with their latest Windows spyware edition - it’s like big tech have given up on the pretense of innovating and are just buying seats at the oligarch table instead.

Another phrase that pisses me off: ”stay in your lane”.

he had an amazing campain preciously because he was able to cut through all the barriers.
i'm not saying don't vote, i'm saying lets address some of those barriers designed to keep leftists of the ballot.

@darwinwoodka@mastodon.social I agree. Though, I do think it is possible to be apolitical in the abstract sense of say mathematics. As soon as theory is applied to people then politics apply.
An obvious example is politics in sports - like of course it's political!

i don't disagree with that but doners also play a large part not only in primary elections, but also the window of political discourse at a national level.
when money speaks louder than the people supposed to represented, may will feel disenchanted.
i'm not just talking about the left, but i do think that the majority of the electorate are leftist even if they don't know it yet.

not at all. i encourage voting. i just think parties should be fair in reasoning why those who didn't didn't.
to state otherwise is to blame the electorate for the actions of the opposition.

We defiantly need more Mamdani's. In fact he gained prominence preciously because he was able to cut through with amazing comms and true leftist values.
It also highlighted the HUGE campaign against him, not just by racist republicans but a far more pernicious smear campaign within the democratic party spearheaded by the likes of Cuomo.

I can see both sides of this argument, because it implies an understanding of politics that billionaires spend billions trying to prevent normies from understanding.
For instance trump being 'anti-war', it was obviously BS, but it was also stronger then any statement made by Kamala on Palestine.
Parties also need to earn votes and not just rely on gaining support for being the least worse option.

@LunaOctavia@mastodon.social 100%. Although once you get hit by the political bug you realise how encompassing it is. This is also what puts a lot of people off politics, the craving for dissonance. The desire not to get captured by the infinite fractal.
People say that the truth will set you free.
The reality is that the truth gives you a complex and a migraine.
As anti-human as AI already is to humanity in terms of environmental and social costs.
I can’t think of anything more dystopian than AI for military targeting.
The US spends A LOT of time criticising China as totalitarian. But what is more totalitarian than military roulette?
I just found out that the US did a “joint military exercise” with equador the other day and ended up bombing a dairy farm.
Apparently because of false intel.
as a leftist my love for democracy and pluralist politics is also at odds with my admiration for how china has been able to alleviate poverty, trouse climate targets and repress fascism.
don't @ me liberals, i’m just a messengar
Under capitalism, pyops does not need to be a conspiracy theory.
Alternative realities are incentived by the system itself.

Imagine how good things could be in the UK if Zohran Mamdani was leading the Labour Party.
Are we serious right now?! What the fuck is this shit.
“Tony Blair has accused Keir Starmer, Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting of putting Labour’s future at risk by abandoning the centre ground, warning that the party’s “almost infinite capacity for self-delusion” means it is likely to lose the next election.”

@WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online in some ways humanity has always transgressed borders. Even before the Spanish colonies there was migration via Beringia. I think the problems arise because of claimed entitlement and a seizing of the commons.
