If they have the nerve for it. But I was speaking of a concept on the left going back to Peter Dale Scott.
I've been doing my part in giving liberals that nerve. Reminding their story begins in revolutions tearing kings from their thrones...or, at least, putting a collar and leash on them. And these were not often peaceful revolutions. I have compared fascism to an aggressive kind of cancer, where beating it means not following rules because it won't.
I also remind them the governors need to remember the national guard answers to them first. And plenty of states national guard units are veritable militaries in their own right. Union with other governors and skillful strategy might allow them to win.
Small chance, but I suspect parts of the top brass might be planning to stage a coup to place trump and his cabinet under arrest as "enemies domestic". If this happens, and they succeed, they will likely call for an emergency election wherein Trump republicans will be barred from running.
This will likely be only an emergency coup, done as an act to protect the republic. Though I do not rule out temptations to become a caesar on their part.

More on the autistic neighborhood: I imagine it as a neighborhood where brave few train daily, should they ever be called to defend their urban home. Standing alongside all those organized to defend the community from all who threaten it, they fight as if they were the neighborhood's very walls.

2024-12-17 02:48:04 UTC

The internet was doomed the moment some fool in Japan created the first imageboard. It was all downhill from there. LLMs just are the final nail.
I once had hope. This communication network, The Internet, is easily one of the greatest and most culturally and socially impactful inventions. I suppose its demise is fitting, given the nationalistic age we are entering. The Internet brought the world together, now borders tear it apart while capital feasts on the remains. It has been my primary means of reaching out and connecting with the world. Perhaps my negative predictions will turn out wrong
I think, at 35 years of age, it may be high time I ended that, gradually. If all goes well I will be living in physical community with other queer people within 5 years.
Not exactly the autistic neighborhoods I have been toying with, but it will do. Still, it is fun to imagine a neighborhood inhabited by autistics, general tone determined by them. Though my ideal one will always be a refuge for the discarded and forgotten in general. But it would be shaped by people like me, from elders to young runaways.
Every morning those obsessed with metallurgy wake up early. The neighborhood is near the docks. One of the warehouses has been squatted and converted to a great makeshift forge. The sounds of hammers pounding upon the anvils, from a distance, serve the same as church bells in older times, rousing all to to wake if alarm clocks haven't. Most us, myself included, work for our living. But a determining number of various support needs do not work. Some survive on welfare of varying degrees of generosity. Others on the inheritance or trusts of their families. But here there are no selfish heirs or listless and dejected dependents. They are the town fathers and mothers, who busy themselves about with things. Some are the reason this poor neighborhood at least has swept streets and sidewalks. Others help in the community garden that has grown to comprise more than one empty lot. The harvest is looking good this fall. Others are the anonymous patrons and matrons, using some of their wealth, who are the reason struggling churches, temples, mosques, etc in the community never shutter their doors; or why the communuty center is still able to run their after school programs. Nevertheless they exercise no control...anonymity and an oath taken at the local madfellows lodge to always serve the community. At night, the streets come alive and...
Well you get the idea.

I will know the autistic community will have made it, the moment the white nationaliat sees us as a threat to their imaginary racial body politic. The threat that can spring forth as the fruit of their loins. The moment they start spinning conspiracies around our supposed drive to establish our supremacy over "normal people". Intellects vast, cool, unsympathetic. Drawing plans against them. When we aren't so high support need as to be a drag on the race's vitality.
I say run out ahead of that, feed their fear. Maybe even make a few of them seem real.

I'm the same way about geoengineering. Technically our species has been doing this for a long time. I'd even call some indigenous land management techniques to be such. Plus if we are ever to turn Mars and Venus into second and third homes for our species, we will have to save this planet first. And the skills we develop to do that will be very helpful in terraforming.

I don't think people realize what is coming. We are entering a period where those who fall outside the hegemonic group in any respect will have no one to count on but each other and themselves individually. If I am panicking, it is because I see everyone standing like a deer in headlights, frozen, doing nothing, as a car they deny is coming is barreling toward them.
The time for fighting for rights is over, rights we will end up losing. Now is the time to fight for survival. We can't afford to keep any deference to the law, or even hegemonic conceptions of right and wrong in any capacity.
The hardest part will be the kind of risks necessary to help the youngest.
Truth is Black people have been surviving under this kind of pressure since the whole thing began. You don't see them fighting for acceptance. They know they'll never get it. It's time the rest of us do this too.
I admit I am traumatized: it was hard, but I admit it. Growing up autistic in the 1990s and 2000s will do that. That was a period where could count on nothing.
Don't stand like a deer in headlights. Get on your feet.

That's not quite what socialism is. That is certainly part of the value set, but it is not socialism as such. The core claim of socialism is that labor (the majority of the species), being the source of all wealth, should be put in possession of what is theirs
In a word, everything.
The rest is about how best to achieve that. Define capitalist dreams? What have you ceded to capital? I cede nothing to it.

That is certainly a kind of corporate body. But it's a bigger concept than that. It's any kind of organization that has a legal existence independent of the people involved. Imagine each individual as a cell of this "body", divisions like different organs. The Board being the brain. Imagine society being imagined that way. Then you are closer to understanding fascisms ambitions. They are far more frightening than "let the rich run wild"

Now, this is not to say the wealthy didn't make out like bandits. They did. They also had influence and power.

2024-12-02 18:24:05 UTC

well remember it's not a situation where corporations of any kind rules the state. It's the state that rules them, however many favors the state does for them. It is a state accountable to no one but itself. Not the people. Not any one class. No one but itself. But everyone else, individually and collectively, is accountable to it.
Two societies that followed the exact model: Juan Peron's Argentina and General Park's South Korea. The scary thing about them? They worked. The middle classes and much of the working class are bought off with material comforts. In Park's Korea, only the most hardscrabble unions and students resisted. The rest were happy enough with their TVs and refridgerators to not upset the apple cart. Even businessmen bowed their heads to Park: if they so much as invested a single Won outside the country, they were sentenced to death. Perhaps even Singapore, esp. under Lee Kwan Yew, also is an example. In Yew's Singapore, even a CEO could be publicly whipped and canned for breaking certain laws. And often were. As is Chiang-Kai-Shek's Taiwan.
Everything in the state. Everything for the state. Nothing outside the state.

The way he's using the word, it doesn't just mean a chartered for profit corporation. It means any organization of any kind. Not one of them to be independent of the state. It means you can have unions...but they permitted no operational or organizational independence.

I suspect...that is the fear that lies at the center of a lot of white queers. The fear of being seen as a monster. It wasn't long ago even they were universally reviled. This is not to say white skin privilege was out of play, but it bought no assurances.
I can't speak for all white autistucs, but given that I can't mask very well, could never learn how, and never wanted to...I've long ago made peace with being seen as a monster. Or a potential danger. I've noticed two things that happen with us: some of us clamor for assimilation. A few of that some succeed...for a time. But eventually what it takes to keep the charade going takes its toll. If they're lucky, the breaking point occurs late in life. But for most, the breakdown comes sooner. I won't deny we're more likely to have someone catch us, and the stingy system is slightly more likely to be somewhat generous.
But even all that is precarious. Temporary. And in any event, it is made very clear we can never truly be "one of them" in so far as we refuse to pretend for them and be useful until we wear out. We are never to imagine we're ever as good as they are.
What I'm trying to say is if we don't trapped on some reactionary treadmill, we all end up having to accept we will always been seen as monstrous. And there doesn't seem to be a way out...and all efforts to extend out acceptance to us have generally come to naught. It seems as if whiteness does draw a hard line someone: crazies and "retards" not welcome. And never will be.
So we don't go chasing after that.
We don't have much of a positive plan. But we know what we want.

I think you over estimate how many would stop creating and sharing ideas in the face of it. A few stubborn souls may drop out, but the majority would continue, and many more would join in this more commons oriented approach to ideas. The inventor or the author who refuses to share his work with the world if he cannot profit by it simply get left behind.
I point to the FLOSS scene as an example in my favor. Put aside whatever you may think about that motley collection of programmers personally, or even whatever odious traits they may possess. You cannot accuse them of being possessive of their work, at least not to the extent of demanding profit. That much is laudable.

Indeed, rent was an issue prior. It was actually something that pissed off Adam Smith and other classical liberals complained about at least prior to Marx.
