they will tell you that they need to do regime change iran to liberate the women, and while you docilely repeat their propaganda they will bomb a girls school in broad daylight and laugh at how much contempt they have for you for buying their lies
good to see that people are finally starting to acknowledge that the great majority of game workers who work at indie studios are employees who work for a boss just like at any other studio
ask any popular indie developer why they don't start a co-op and their answers will radicalize you 🙂
"Nazis were just regular people" is not a statement meant to evoke empathy or to excuse their crimes. It is a statement of warning.
The capacity to be part of and perpetrate atrocities is not limited to "monsters," it is wholly human. It is what we must always be aware of.
This is true of so many fascist movements throughout history. They would never have gained so much power and influence without the backing of the capitalist class, and their willingness to act as strike-breakers and anti-communist militia.
that's how you know it's the good stuff
Probably a good idea to drop the AI-as-autocomplete meme, and the wishful belief that when the bubble bursts, everything will just go away.
This romantic denial precludes more important debates about AI’s deployment, impact, regulation, and socialization.

exploitation happens at the point of production. That's where new value is created, and where surplus is extracted. Whether that surplus ultimately goes to the landlord, the moneylender, or the industrial capitalist: it has already been separated from the worker.

it's funny how procedural music that's never exactly the same still manages to get stuck in your head somehow

The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,
and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism,
are the same faction.

It's so cool how a bunch of kids realized there was a genocide in the middle east in 2023 and now suddenly every major company and government is tripping over their own dicks to turn the world into an Orwllian surveillance state so that never happens again.

If you spend your life justifying your own cowardice/passivity/complicity to yourself as an expression of wisdom and reason, there might come a time when the wind turns and you risk finding yourself on the losing side, but you've gone too far to back out. This is one way people become conservatives.
Reminder: the Dems aren't "doing nothing", they're doing exactly what they want to be doing. They're not failing to be opposition, they're succeeding at staying in power as part of a fascist regime.

The Canadian military has been trying to get a much bigger budget for decades now.
I think there's a lot of alarmist opportunism happening right now.
Stay critical, everyone. Bigger police and military budgets is never the answer.
Mark Carneys' Davos speech is getting a lot more coverage than him silently joining Trump's Palestine colonization board

This is bleak, because you should not trust this guy at all.
People who feel isolated and alone and have no real hope for the future are way more vulnerable to being sucked into fascist-adjacent online "communities" that are selling them toxic beliefs and products that will only destroy their mental and physical health in the long-term.
This is also why I think organizing is so important. It's not just about building enough power to challenge the capitalist class, but also about re-building our bonds with each other that have been absolutely eviscerated by capitalist individualism and hustle culture
Pixel art scene of two characters talking near a thatch house. The house is next to a stream with stones, cattails, and lily pads, a small wooden bridge, and a rice paddy. To the left of the house there is a basket of rice drying in the sun and laundry hanging on a clothesline next to some ferns and bamboo. On the right of the screen is a scroll with dialogue options, discussing a kidnapped lapdog and what action to take next. On the bottom left are UI elements enclosed by a sickle and a blue wooden frame, including icons of a sun, a light-bulb, a scale, a bullet, a gear, a compass, and a photograph, with flowers and grass sprouting from the bottom of the screen.
Pixel art of four potion bottles and four crystals on a gray background. Potions are green, orange, purple, and pinkish-beige. Below is a green emerald, orange amber, purple amethyst, and pinkish-beige shell.
A small house with a red roof sits beside a stream and waterfall, surrounded by trees, rocks, and a wooden fence in a pixel art landscape.
A woman in a red witch hat leans on a table filled with magical objects, like potions, a skull, books, scrolls, and candles. Plants and other objects hang from the ceiling above.
Hey it's #portfolioday, I'm currently looking for work and have experience doing pixel art and animation, voxel art, and low-poly 3D, as well as art/creative direction, UI design, and game design.

I wrote my PhD on this topic (spectrum.library.concordia.ca/id/eprint/98...), and to be fair there's a lot about modern neofascist movements that's stupid and embarrassing. But you know what they say about first as tragedy, then as farce...
Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.
maduro was open to talks and in response we bombed the capital, kidnapped him and his wife, and now we’re about to set up an imperial outpost and start stealing all their oil. we are the bad guys. we have always been the bad guys.
If you're in an organization, push your leadership to engage in resistance activity. Push your favorite influencers to stand for peace. Use your art to demand peace. All of us should be unified on this front. This is not a complicated issue and the lines we draw must be clearly defined.
🚨 RE: VENEZUELA: We must accelerate and advance our resistance to the brutality of the US imperial war machine. All of us can and must do more, just as we can and must do more to support Palestine. We are calling for a unified front for peace against all United States imperialist warmongering.
Fuck the US empire. The sooner it collapses the better off the world will be.
