4chan back before the Nazi takeover was like the wild west. My favorite part was “Lithursday,” when we would share images with embedded PDFs of copyrighted content, including rare books, anarchist materials, and military manuals. I often wonder if those unusually large .jpgs are still floating around the internet waiting to be unlocked. I also saw legitimate acts of activism and terrorism unfolding live, without the interpretation and propaganda of the state.
Reminds me of a true story of a mother who died at home with her toddler in the apartment. By the time anybody noticed, 4 days later the child had been living off cereal and sugar, and he rubbed lotion on his mother’s body to try to help her feel better.
I was banned from Lemmygrad for statements that were critical of the authority of the USSR, and writings of their savior Karl M.
I was banned from Lemmy.world for anti-zionism. Most of the Lemmy side of the fediverse seems infested with authoritarianism that’s as bad as Reddit’s corporatism.
I’m trying to orient you to the way your initial reaction is counter productive. You’re walking through a garden with a weedwacker, smacking down any idea that doesn’t meet your standard. Orient yourself to the “Yes, and…,” mindset. If you respond to a proposal, ensure that your input is constructive. It’s fine to express your doubts, but if that’s all you do then you’re stopping momentum and interfering with constructive action. Constructive dialogue is a core precept of a movement that I’m working on. It’s necessary to undermine Capitalist programming even in the way we interact with each other. Competition in the realm of thought and ideology supports the hierarchy of power that keeps us oppressed.
A: The vertical farms don’t need to be load bearing. They can be created with bamboo, wood, masonry, glass, plastic, or other novel materials and lit with LED grow lights.
B: Using fibers or metal frames can add strength to compressed Earth. You’re also splitting hairs, if one technique doesn’t work then we can try others. There are new wind generators that are basically stiff, hair-like balloons attached to a mechanism that collects the energy harvested when the wind causes them to vibrate. There are countless solutions. Nobody is advocating for AI to do all of the thinking.
