I dunno anyone brought this up already, but a boycott is looming over Walmart due to them selling jersey-styled shirts which read "Impeach 45". Notably, Walmart also sells red MAGA baseball caps.

Aye.

Do you want to know why "Abolish Profit" is a political position of the DSA @Timcast? "Profit motive [...] keeps every social media platform friendly to fascism."

Read down this thread.

I put together a thread about this bit of news I find interesting.

https://twitter.com/sevvierose/status/1017927169291575296

The gofundme put together by the Democratic Socialists of America after Charlottesville hasn't disbursed the $200,000 it crowdfunded, going on 11 months later.

A number of sources are listed in there.

Just an off-topic; there's a few threads on 4chan right now accusing archive.org of changing their archives for the NYTimes. re: their statements regarding Roseanne's firing. https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/181076362#p181076362

This isn't actually the case. The caption they're saying wasn't changed; they're confusing the metadata snippet used for Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc., with the caption beneath the image. The metadata snippet, which can be found by viewing the source of this archive from May 30th, has remained the same. https://archive.fo/D37Nt

It's still a statement that seems contradictory in light of the Jeong hiring and statements made around it, but nonetheless there has been no memory-holing on archive.org in this case.

Certainly. I just thought to share that here.

I find @Timcast's video about the Social Distortion guy punching a Trump supporter odd. I think Tim and I come from opposite sides of the same coin, in a way; I'm not surprised at all to hear of a punk rock guy supporting Trump. The punk I grew up with was rather well-sat in the libertarian right, and I was always surprised to find out that late-80s, 90's punk band members were so much further to the left.

Oh aye. I don't mean to imply anything other than when I was a child, I made the same mistake of attributing to the left-right paradigm, that which is more suited to the top-bottom or authoritarian-libertarian paradigm.

Apparently, there are devs on GitHub who want to implement an "Anti-fascist MIT License". https://github.com/jamiebuilds/anti-fascist-mit-license

It's a part of the open source software movement attempting to prevent people they deem to be "fascists" from taking part in FOSS.

I'd argue they infiltrated some time ago. The Code of Conduct wars of 2010/2011 destroyed the Ruby and Python communities, and divided the Perl and ObjC communities.

OSCON is basically a feminism conference that happens to have the occasional programming panel.

True.

So @Timcast brings up the difference between legitimate and illegitimate authority in his banned books video today. I'd like you to reconsider the anarchist position on authority, Tim -- because even by your definition you acknowledge that authority is not something held by a person over another, but rather a deferment by a person to another they think is authoritative.

Using your argument, anyone can say "I'm a doctor, put your hands on that wound" whether they're a doctor or not. Anyone can put on a uniform and say they're a police officer and "enforce" frozen zones.

That doesn't mean authority exists, it means people are deferring to someone they perceive as authority. It's no different than faith. People can have faith, but that does not objectively assert the existence of God -- it only subjectively asserts the deferment to God in that person's mind.

I think Carl Bernstein and even @Timcast have missed some larger strokes and details regarding the so-called "cold civil war" in the US. https://sevvie.ltd/politics/the-growing-heat-of-an-old-cold-civil-war/

Sorry I haven't been around much. I've ended up homeless again.

Yeah. I have a place at a DV shelter but I have to steal wifi from pubs and coffee shops to publish.

USA, Indiana.

And aye, DV is domestic violence.

It's alright.

I'm mostly focusing on my written publications as that renders me income.

I make a small amount on Patreon each month, and I have a case manager. But for the moment it's a lot of paperwork and waiting.

I do, but I can't upload to it currently.

My rendering machine is still at the house at which I was previously.

I tended to disable ads on my videos, instead relying on Patreon.

I need to head back to the shelter. Too many people seeing me with a laptop; I don't want to make a target of myself.

I'm about 30min behind in the video. Great convo so far.

Might should @Popcorn_Butter🧀 ❤

I just got to "you know who else drank water? Hitler" and so far this discussion has been amazing.
