Society will frame this as self-sacrifice. They won’t recognize that you’re trying to survive long-term. They’ll pretend blindly following commands would give you better chances of survival and health than a “refusal” that leads to 6 months of unemployment. They will sacrifice your health and well-being in the name of reframing what you’re doing, pretending you’re the one sacrificing your health and well-being to protest your choices not being exactly what you want, when you’re actually just trying to survive while offered choices that aren’t viable.

Or maybe you actually are intentionally protesting. Nothing wrong with that. But a lot of people aren’t

I’m not accepting the premise, that’s why I use nostr on the internet and actual library buildings off the internet.

But it is mandatory, whether that’s acceptable or not. Authorities in the US aren’t gonna suddenly change their mind when it’s your local librarian instead of the Internet Archive trying to run things differently from the corporations. The librarian needs better infrastructure to stand up to the authorities and break away from the corporate way

Then the libraries would have to pay for hosting, so they’d have to be the ones selling user data to advertisers and stuff. Hence the extra degree of separation / “plausible deniability”

If the hivemind cared about actual important priorities (instead of just the desire for low oil prices), then the Internet Archive would face more pressure to improve its infrastructure and the authorities would face more pressure to leave the Internet Archive tf alone.

Nostr can fix this someday

Sure, in the prime timeline. But in the pocket universe alternate timeline where time travelers went and executed the perpetrators, I’d say the instructors’ concerns were addressed

There is precedent. Hitler was taken out by a pretty big fascism enabler

Wow, so we’re not even in the top 30 when you count tied countries

At least they work as a quick visual cue that a car is designed with zero utilitarians in the room

Idk, “off the shelf parts” seemed pretty clear

Top ranked for the people inside the cars. Not so safe for the people mining the material to replace cars that get totaled, etc. but most people don’t give enough of a fuck to count anyone but the occupants of the car

Your comment is giga based because it doesn’t let the overton window get shifted by being too suggestible.

Your brain still went where logic goes, not where was suggested. So important at times like this.

You’re just now figuring out that we’re in fascism, but telling people to “enjoy” it? lol
