if we had a largely independent media then we wouldn't be in this mess because everyone would constantly be hearing them say "trump did some totally illegal bullshit again today" rather than "well this is just slightly stronger politics"

similarly to how there are normally only a handful of common mongers (cheese, fish, iron, war, whores), there also seem to only be a handful of common things to be riddled with (bullets, errors, guilt, tumors)

i think my favorite petty bluesky move is to reply to an asshole and then mute (not block) them. they subsequently reply and think "ha, that'll show him" and i never ever see it.

Cooperatives empower people, especially the marginalized and forgotten. It's a model addressing the injustices working people face under authoritarian economics.

If you desire a more inclusive planet, support co-ops where you can and talk about them with people you know. It makes a difference.

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

People are actively building a more democratic and inclusive economy. Thanks to BRED in Baltimore, cooperative businesses are being established and supported, providing empowering and dignified jobs to working people.

There is an alternative to the status quo. It's called economic democracy.

Also, anytime you are thinking about calling the cops, ask yourself, "will this situation be improved by (more) guns?" If the answer is no, don't call them.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

#CancelChristmas. Make things for people, donate to charities in their names, but let the big corps bite their nails and wonder if they can survive if we don't fund them.

Economic democracy provides the foundation for a more equitable distribution of wealth. This directly safeguards political democracy by limiting the power of concentrated wealth.

Worker cooperatives, as one expression of economic democracy, actively support a more equitable and democratic world.
