I would switch to grapheneOS if I could use it on fairphone because I believe in an absolute right to privacy its not just for abusers. I'm not going to get a phone other than the fairphone because it's more important to me that there is no slavery and conflict minerals used in the phone and the modularity is a nice plus too. So unless grapheneOS supports a phone that has these features I can't ethically justify buying a phone without them just to use it.

It costs a missed opportunity to give more appropriate advice: stay away from google and use more private community forks of android that if I understand correctly will not be affected by googles papers please app ecosystem.
A strategy focusing on begging tech giants to not do the will of capital is basically lying to the public that there is a chance this can work.
In theory yes the open letter is a nice thing to have regardless of how google reacts because then we have something to point to how google is ignoring public opinion - but it needs to be presented with heavy caveats and we need to focus on getting average people out of googles grip so they don't hold this much power over us

Hey "No Ethical Consumption" people, nothing is more deactivating for me than seeing caring thoughtful people such as yourself tell me that something I'm doing to make the world a better place is worthless (it isn't) and that you, nominally my ally, will do nothing to help.

I like how people are recommending a bunch of FLOSS messengers now, its an opportunity to check out underrated projects like I just a few minutes ago learned about the FLOSS project Quiet (https://tryquiet.org) from a discord community trying to relocate.
The website says its all E2EE P2P with tor built in, channels like slack/discord, no email or phone number required. Unfortunately no quantum resistant encryption on the roadmap so I still would recommend SimpleX for general purpose instant messaging but Tor-by-default and P2P are genuine advantages over Simplex

We should aim to use the most private secure and anonymous means possible, even if we don't need them personally because theres safety in numbers. If only people who's life was at risk from the state used simplex or something else with quantum resistant encryption then the users of those apps would make a pretty good shortlist for surveillance.

Might makes right is a fascist position, and you wouldnt feel that way if you were in the death camps.

So youre saying it's illegal to kill human babies because adult humans have decided to defend that right. This is might makes right thinking, if the majority of human adults decide to allow killing and eating babies then the babies would have no rights to fall back on, there would be not moral argument from your perspective to argue against that, it would just be a preference over how to treat collective property

Begging the question that chickens rights are not important to them.
This idea that they don't deserve rights that they themselves can't fight for is just might makes right thinking and is a cornerstone of fascist thinking.
If chickens ever have rights, you argue, its because someone uses force to stop you from killing chickens. Otherwise, you have a natural right to dominate the chickens because they are powerless to defend themselves, and that powerlessness is the same reason they can't fight for your rights either
So you are just doing fascist might makes right ethics

Why does the capacity for moral reasoning and principled action confer rights for you? Because then they might be able to defend your rights? If so then once again everything comes back to other people only mattering because they can profit you.

"The fastest way to lose your rights is to only care about your own"
And you obviously are not indifferent because you eat other animals so you have a motivated reasoning to maintain your privilege of eating your preferred sandwich filling.
This "not my problem" thinking is exactly how privileged people let fascism slide because they are either unaffected or benefited by fascism.
The way of looking at the world you have detailed over this thread is one where no one but you really matters, and if someone can't profit you then they might as well be dead to you, and in fact you will pay for someone to murder them.
And if you want to say that affairs that ultimately benefit or harm you are the only ones worth moral consideration well then why can't the chicken say the same thing, you can't both be right. You are not the center of the universe. Others have feelings and preferences outside of your perspective that are just as valid as yours.

Chickens are thinking feeling creatures who have preferences fears wants memories, they play games and have friends, they want to live in comfort and peace and avoid pain and death.

Humans learned to torture imprison and murder eachother because we practised on the non-human animals first
From the moment we are born the first kind of hatred we are taught is to hate other animals: we are taught that their lives are insignificant and come second to our trivial interests
If you teach a child that even an ant a small. powerless creature deserves to live and be free from undue pain that goes a long way towards accepting different sizes shapes and colors of humans.
Sapience is a circular logic, it basically means "human-like behaviour" so what you're really saying here is "only those animals that behave superficially like humans deserve a right to life"
Your reciprocation idea would exclude babies and the terminally ill and those with severe disabilities who can be of no benefit to someone who thinks in transactions like this. Unless you think they ought to share rights simply by right of being human, in which case its just arbitrary speciesism:
What specific trait does a chicken lack that a human does not that makes it ok to confine and kill one but not the other?
"
We declare the following: “The absence of a neocortex does not appear to preclude an organism from
experiencing affective states. Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals have the
neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological substrates of conscious states along with
the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors. Consequently, the weight of evidence indicates that
humans are not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness. Nonhuman animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including octopuses, also
possess these neurological substrates.”

Given that both simplex and deltachat have very similar threat models and architecture its difficult to see why anyone would choose to use deltachat over simplex when simplex has quantum resistance and deltachat does not

This is the larger point I was trying to make and why I don't consider what I did as hijacking
You start off by saying the left must be united against the right, but then you carve out a specific exception for when we should shun those on the "left". When people "divide the left" they do it for principled reasons not because theyre opposed to any sort of collaboration. In fact it is the whole idea of "leftist unity" that is idealist, the idea that eveyrone on the left shares fundamental values is just naive and kind of patronising. Really the labels left and right aren't very useful at all they are broad tendancies and don't point to any particular ideology or set of foundational beliefs.

No approval-no disapproval policies are just disapproval with extra steps.
Yes S&M practises can be dangerous, so can vanilla straight sex, or bungee jumping or alcohol or weed.
Individuals don't always make the best choices for themselves or others but by framing that as intrinsically the fault of S&M you're moralizing an amoral activity and painting with broad strokes over the numerous well documented safe and consensual practices
Sadism also comes with mental health risks one of which is "dom drop", a feeling of guilt after a scene for hurting someone they care about, doms need aftercare just as much as subs
Some of your arguments sound similar to arguments of "cultural degeneration" that sexual deviants are becoming too unashamed and their inherently harmful practices are leaking out into "polite society"
Either S&M is fundamentally abusive in which case we should oppose it unambiguously, or it is not intrinsically abusive and the problems you're talking about have a deeper root cause that we should focus on rather than villainising people practicing safe and consensual sex

So you're just talking about S&M (Sadomasochism) kinks then not all kinks?
In that case, S&M can be practised consensually and safely, the notion that all S&M is abusive is a deep misunderstanding of the trust and communication involved.
Staying safe, (including mental health) and consensual while practising more dangerous kinks like S&M kinks is almost always at the center of every kink community I've come across
I'm not denying that people use S&M as an excuse to abuse people or that there are even spaces that excuse and glorify it, but that is not what S&M is about, people I've met in kink spaces IME are actually better at consent than non-kinky people.
For example there is a misconception that domination is something that just sort of sign up for with a random person who can immediately step over your boundaries and call it kink, that couldnt be further from the truth, domination is a delicate and trust-based relationship where in actuality the sub has all the control

The "force" in forcefem is a contextual shorthand, it does not literally mean force. It is about encouragement and vulnerability not abuse.

If you want more of something you should post it yourself, upscrolled will end in tears, especially their "we dont moderate on political bases" is a red flag that they will basically go the same way as bluesky. In case you didnt know, "politics" is used in this context to allow people to continue abusive or harmful behaviour that the moderator doesn't consider "political" and then those that speak out against it are considered political, I can't get into the entire history of similar cases right now but I've posts about problems with bluesky and I predict many of these will happen on upscrolled
Its basically got the same red flags as "free speech" enthusiasts

The formation of worker councils happened outside of the bolshevik revolution afaik but I dont think they were sufficiently organised to counter the threat of bolsheviks and were largely complacent to the central party as long as they would tolerate the worker councils but by the time they no longer tolerated them there was nothing they could do

I know you don't believe in vanguardism or one party rule
As an anarchist I still disagree with syndicalism because its too focused on the worker identity and doesn't seem to say much about externalities like climate change or harm to non-human animals and it seems to center able-bodies neurotypical experience by default
Also the worker council owned factories in the USSR were quickly taken over by the central party which I think speaks to the inherently hierarchical concept of the firm
I do agree that workers shouldn't be coerced to conform to the authority of a planning council but I also think that the fundamental concept of self identifying as being a part of the firm before the commune is irrevocably adversarial

Like I said in another reply it is not on anarchists to proscribe a foolproof procedure or programme that can be failed or succeeded our main goal is to dismantle hierarchy and authority that prevents people developing the natural ability to freely associate and resolve conflict. With that said I have organisational preferences and concepts of how committees might be structured to balance democratic input and efficiency but they are just that preferences. I like democratic confederalism for example also the loose ideas presented by Anark in After the Revolution[2]
"
"Why do you not say how things will be operated under Anarchism?" is a question I have had to meet thousands of times. Because I believe that Anarchism can not consistently impose an iron-clad program or method on the future. The things every new generation has to fight, and which it can least overcome, are the burdens of the past, which holds us all as in a net. Anarchism, at least as I understand it, leaves posterity free to develop its own particular systems, in harmony with its needs. Our most vivid imagination can not foresee the potentialities of a race set free from external restraints.

The duress basically comes from the fact that the claim to private property is always invalid. So hoarding resources you dont intend to use, purely for the purpose of an MCM transaction is exploitation, you happen to have this private property, and your ownership was procured through the contributions of the entire commons so therefore it belongs to the commons not to the last person who happened to finish building it.
Personally I think that even most personal property should be on loan from the commons like a library
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOYa3YzVtyk
As for the grey areas the point of anarchism is not to legislate how society should function but to guarantee freedom from authority to all so that the people can freely decide how they will deal with conflict. I'm sure that even in an anarchist society people would decide to do things I would consider dangerous to anarchy or to peoples fundamental rights

Property rights are not objective any more than the right to life or any other so called rights, they are intersubjective constructed based on shared experience, it can appear close to objective but its ultimately the same thing as preferences they are just widely held preferences.

If theres no difference then sell it, all renting does is create an exploitatory relationship where the paying party becomes dependant on the exploiting party. But like I said earlier I lean away from currency based systems anyway because they encourage hoarding, arbitrage and capital accumulation

Scarcity is not as big a problem as you think it is it is manufactured by capitalists through the control of supply, resource hoarding and inventory destruction. As well as market manipulation, planned obsolescence and an obsession with an ever expanding extractive growth model of economics.
I like the ideology of degrowth I think it is necessary to stay within ecological limits, and if free associations of workers don't voluntariliy comply with these limits it is in every persons survival interest to fight them on it

The concept of individuals being solely responsible for the fruit of their labour is also inaccurate, every individual enjoys a plethora of subsidy and investment into their activity in the form of the contibutions of the commons for utilty, supply chains, knowledge work etc.

What I mean is that renting out capital is not a real job, if workers need capital to produce necessities then it belongs to them no questions asked. And even if its to produce non necessities its still an MCM transaction that leads to capital accumulation arising from inequities that would still exist if all that has changed in this society is the means of production are collectively owned

This is why private property of all kinds is theft, renting capital that is the product of your own labour as either an individual or a group replicates exactly the problematic part of capitalism: the assumption of ownership over a porition of someone elses labour because you lay claim to the capital. Have you read any Proudhon? Also money is bad because it makes capital accumulation inevitable, but thats maybe a different topic "The horror is the firm not the fact the firm has a boss"

If automation decreases the price of necessities then either the rent/mortage will go up or your income will go down.
The one constant is the capitalist class steer the economy toward more for themselves and less for everyone else
This is one reason why I'm a socialist and believe that workers should earn the full value of their labour not be taxed by a lord that lays claim to the tools
