@jksteinberger.bsky.social and @celine.bsky.social on confronting the dangerous merger of neoliberalism and the lifeboat ethicists of the tech far right. Tough but essential read ending with strategies of resistance

“Cataclysm Capitalism” is a term that attempts to grapple with the dizzying speed and acceleration of today's fascist attacks on democracy and our shared environment To learn more about its workings & functions read our newest f&l blog article by @jksteinberger.bsky.social and @celine.bsky.social!

Important read. We need to keep finding, forming and maintaining relationships of hope and transform those to action because the current fragmentation of society is by sheer design. Keep connecting, keep trying.

This could absolutely work in the UK. There is right now a window of opportunity to overturn decades of media propaganda created to protect the ultra wealthy.

More than 500,000 marched for Palestine in London on 11th October. The reaction of a Labour Government- Bridget Philipson speaking to Trevor Phillips (12th Oct). 'We're bringing in restrictions to curtail the marches'. A Labour Government?? wp.me/p15p2Q-fgR

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Hey, I actually *am* one, thanks to @celine.bsky.social

Charlie Kirk was a fascist. He dedicated his adult life to furthering lies, genocidal bigotry, and the destruction of democracy. Anyone who excuses or whitewashes him is the enemy.

Will be interesting to see which news outlets omit his years of violent white nationalism. I'm guessing practically every single one.

I'll be speaking at the @defendourjuries.bsky.social press conference today, ahead of the pro-Palestine protests this weekend. Already, seven of its spokespeople have been pre-emptively arrested, in a gross infringement of their right to free speech and free assembly. This is what police states do.

Wasn't there a bunch of Trump supporters chanting "Jews will not replace us" a few years ago?

FWIW, "yours for the restoration of the Republic" was a common salutation American fascists gave to each other in the 1950s and 1960s. This is from a 1952 letter by Ohio white supremacist terrorist Peter Xavier. The rest of the rhetoric here might be familiar too.

Happy to see this in Australia. Need this in Canada & Europe too. cc icymi @avilewis.bsky.social @sethdklein.bsky.social @patrickcanning.bsky.social @wwfcanada.org @jksteinberger.bsky.social @celine.bsky.social

Of course he did. How utterly predictable: bsky.app/profile/amar...

Like for real they had an open letter from 7000 Bluesky users over their treatment of Palestinian accounts 3 months ago now and they haven’t even managed to do the most simple ask of having their guidelines translated to Arabic.

American media would have absolutely held a live-stream with Hitler himself debating the pros and cons of fascism because it would go viral, the only metric that matters. I was invited to this and I told them to go fuck themselves

False alarm, everybody! Turns out the kids they’re starving to death weren’t perfectly healthy to begin with so no biggie

I shouldn't do this, but I keep thinking about Germany's far-right vote being steady at 25%, and about this interview (x.com/IbDoku/statu...) where one of Germany's leading far-right voices asks if, when the time comes, enough men will step up and carry out mass violence against non-white people.

NEW investigation: DOGE-Pilled The full story on the transformation of 23 year-old Luke Farritor and how he ended up at the Department of Government Efficiency--slashing, dismantling, undoing--wielding a résumé that "didn’t pass muster” NO PAYWALL! www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

As Wynn-Willams put it, "The best way I can describe what's happened there is a kind of lethal carelessness. At every turn, when Facebook's leaders see how facebook is inflaming tensions and making an unstable and frightening political situation much worse, they do... nothing." There are no words.

I assumed the question was to do with like, Newsom going full anti-trans centrist bigot and answered accordingly BUT NO the California Bro in question was concerned about wait for it DEMS NOT GETTING BEHIND BUILDING ENOUGH COAL PLANTS TO SUPPORT "AI" (scare quotes mine)

A Florida sheriff warned protesters in a press conference on Thursday that "we will kill you, graveyard dead" if they throw weapons or point a gun at officers. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey made the remark at an event with local law enforcement that declared Florida as "The Anti-Riot State."

"Channeling Yarvin/Moldbug, Land avoids a full-frontal defense of Hitler by defending the right to defend Hitler, then retreating into muddied prose. Liberals have censored any attempt at balance, declaring Hitler an anti-Christ, laments Land. A defense of free speech, of course."

My take on the hard right fantasist Nick Land, for Interesting Times…

It is super weird how little reception David Golumbia's last book "Cyberlibertarianism" has had. I mean I know why, he dropped a bunch of uncomfortable truth bombs there but it's still weird how little that book is talked about. It is probably the most important book about tech in the last decade.

One thing pointed out to me a few times by colleagues recently is that we've never done anything like atmospheric CO₂ removal (CDR) before. We've only ever shut down the source of the pollution. This is true and a point that I made here. We should hedge our bet. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

This week on Dystopia Now @xriskology.bsky.social and I talked to Quinn Slobodian about neoliberalism and tech billionaires. One of my favorite episodes so far! Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

Now the next generation will be raised and taught how to be human by non humans, if the AI companies get their way. Sludge will be reality. Sludge is already affecting our aesthetics, our values. We should not do that. That will be catastrophic, and will take generations to fix.

Humans are mimics. It's one of our better traits. When we're not sure we look to each other, and this is the miraculous foundation of community. Even as infants we look at our babas, papas, gagas, etc, to find how to be human, and they come to our level to show us how to be human in their actions.
