Reflections on why utopias have rarely held up to scrutiny and why we keep coming back to them. In there, a little reminiscing of Gramsci‘s pessimism of the intellect vs. optimism of the will (and heart).

Dringende Empfehlung! Sehr wichtiger Kommentar von @oliverscheiber.eu zur Medien- und Demokratiekrise! www.derstandard.at/story/300000...
Für eine grundlegende Medienreform läuft die Zeit davon
Nur tiefe Reformen zu Medien, Plattformen und Algorithmen können unsere Demokratie absichern. Hier sind Regierung und Zivilgesellschaft gefordert. Zuwarten wäre fatal

For over a decade, my Foundations of HCI undergrad course has covered “privacy & surveillance” with a (2002) reading about the Panopticon and a once distant warning about how social media sites could create a self-censoring reality. And Ellison is just… owning/celebrating the dystopia.
Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

Der absolut beste Kommentar, den ich bisher zur Einstufung der AfD gehört oder gelesen habe. In den Öffentlich-Rechtlichen trauen sich das nicht viele - eine absolute Seltenheit und deswegen umso beachtlicher.

Kommentar: AfD-Einstufung setzt politischen Gegner unter Druck
Der Verfassungsschutz stuft die AfD als rechtsextremistisch, weil sie völkisch und rassistisch ist. Die Antwort ist die Verteidigung einer offenen Gesellschaft.
