Our collective task is not to save tech but to save us, our world.
The resonant computing manifesto is too focused on means and not on ends. And that's basically the core issue. The belief in technological determinism.

The kids aren't "wayward". The capitalist societies they're raised in just neglects them. Good thing about third spaces is that kids can be guided there. There can be fun/educational activities for them to do. And most importantly, they teach both kids and adults about the importance of community.

In my posh neighbourhood, filled with wealthy capitalist hotshot types, there's a bus stop where a bunch of kids go to hang out in the evenings. Sometimes, they'd smash stuff (while riding around in their e-bikes) and just be a nuisance. And each time, the neighbours would call the cops on them.

Hey, friends - a friend needs some groceries. Anything you can swing would be helpful ❤️🙏
A whole bunch of RPs but still no major progress. I still need $115 to clear this grocery goal!
Can we please start taking bigger swings at clearing this? RPs don't always equal donations! 💕💸

Marxism doesn’t blame humans for being "selfish" by nature, or whatever bullshit the capitalist ruling class likes to spew. Marxism asks: What conditions are shaping this (selfish) behaviour? Who built them? Who benefits?
Change the conditions, and suddenly “human nature” looks very different.

For Black people especially, this lie does extra work. We’re forced to survive inside violent systems, and when survival requires distrust or guardedness, it’s pathologised as cultural or personal failure. This messed up system pits us against one another and then blames us for trying to survive.

Making capitalists “pay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

I don’t really understand how people don’t grasp that capitalist competition leads to monopoly. Something wins a competition. It is a pretty obvious thing.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries
“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.
