You could not ask for a more perfect illustration of the failure of neoliberalism — and of liberalism in general — than what we are seeing today
![Post from Adam Bienkov: “Kier Starmer’s spokesman, asked if government will still use X now [that] it posts indecent images of children, replies, “We always keep communication cahnnels under review to reach [the] public in [the] most appropriate way possible.

Captured foreign leaders were often paraded through Rome in triumphal processions designed to highlight the power and ability of Roman leaders. Opponents were ritually humiliated as Romans demonstrated their right to rule and conquer
In a surreal scene, Trump parades Maduro through the streets of New York, van doors open for all to see.

The only way you can be a liberal instead of a leftist is if you have deliberately shut off your brain because you were beginning to learn things that scared you and destabilized your sense of a safe and rational world.

Getting grok to publicly strip a woman’s likeness online or alter her image isn’t just horrifying at the level of the individual, it’ll be used to get us fired, too. It’s a technique to keep us in the home popping out babies because we lost our teaching job when some guy sent porn of us to our boss.

Calling public benefits “entitlements” is just the most contemptible right-wing trash.
No. No. No.
Punitive processes make narrowly targeted programs *less* efficient and *more* costly. Because more scrutiny requires more bureaucracy.
Punitive processes also make it *less* likely that people will get aid for which they qualify. Because of the roadblocks and stigma scrutiny creates.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.
