These things are definitely getting better and I hate them so much.

There does seem to be a lot of Klimtposting going on. Google trends says that we’re in a klimt equilibrium period tho

Yeah, my understanding is it’s one of those things where the line between an actual movement, a symbolic expression of rage, and right wing fearmongering is hard to draw.

Lol i went and looked at my entries in the mod log and it’s mostly “no main” “no main!” “No Main!” “NOooooo MAIN!!!”

I do like having the mod log. It’s a record of times I messed up that I can refer back to.

Sometimes the post-cyberpunk dystopia throws up some cool stuff.

Word. There’s no “immigrant crisis”, so actual harm to real people doesn’t matter. The hogs are in it for the theater. They want a perceived threat of an alien danger so they can feel alive in their little suburban fortress-castles.

Everything I’ve heard about patriarchy in SK makes it sound like absolute hell. What’s that maybe exists maybe not movement where women are essentially doing 70s feminist secession from men? I’ve heard a bit about it and some of the interviews with women about the shit they go through are harrowing.

I think this exists now. There’s various meat computer experiments and apparently folks figured out how to write binary to dna.

I’m sorry you’re in that position. As a seasoned mental illness haver i’ve long been accutely aware of how medical professionals are coerced in to participating in the carceral system and that it isn’t good for patients or providers.

The Mushashi Method.

It takes a certain amount of confidence just to step up and put yourself in to the race, and i respect that.

Man the fucking Daleys.

The coolest part is this is still like a decade away from when triangulation kicked in.

This is a thing at the disney operation in florida. They have shuttles, a monorail, and no shit actual paddle boats to transport people from the massive desert of parking lots to the actual theme parks.

It’d be legit hilarious if we solved transit and then built symbolic pickups outside sports facilities for tailgating. Like just a ritual parking lot where no actual parking happens.

The temple of the car.

My understanding is that there are a number of radically different ideologies under the Anarchist umbrella. Like you’ve got chill community building people who have a solid theory of a society without the coercive and violent organs of a state, but you’ve also got dangerous anti-social edgelords organizing under the eight-fold star of chaos undivided. Both groups get lumped in to Anarchism but idk if it can be said they actually share much in the way of goals and beliefs beyond opposition to states.

And yeah, I understand the Zapatistas are facing serious problems and making changes. There’s no end to history, sadly.

Nah, queens in eusocial insects don’t control the hive. Afaik in honey bees the girls decide things in a weird communal democratish way, and ants make decisions using pretty strict behavioral rules. I’ve read several entomologists say calling them queens was a mistake and creates an incorrect impression about their role. They’re much more at the mercy of the hive than the other way around.

Eusocial insects are hard to map on to human behavior, though. Like bees do seem to have something that roughly maps to democracy, but ants and termites seem to be essentially machines that operate on strict behavioral rules.
