progress comes from recognizing and addressing conflict. our society teaches us to be conflict-averse in order to maintain oppressive structures.

capitalism will fall, marxism will help prevent us from falling with it

people will start a sentence with "it's human nature to.." and then spout just the wildest capitalist propaganda you've ever heard

From the idealist viewpoint, our attitudes and behaviors are rooted in mysterious forces beyond our control– so how can I hope to change if I am “just naturally a shy person” ? From the materialist perspective, in contrast, my consciousness can be changed by changing my activity– for instance, if I practice speaking up in groups, my so-called “shy nature” can be transformed. The materialist perspective also emphasizes the fact that to change the consciousness of all of us in society, we must change our material reality by completely revolutionizing the way work in society is divided up and carried out.

it can feel like change is impossible, but change is the one thing we can count on. everything changes, the universe is made of matter in motion.

i'm working on a tiny programming language that has static typing with minimal syntax

thinking about a programming language for ecs programming where there's a one-to-one correspondence between types and variable names. concise static typing without needing to infer variable types!

@zkat congrats!

if you don't mind me asking, what font is this in the screenshot?

(there's an obvious exception for large-scale actions like the BDS movement)

I think it's important to realize that consumer advocacy and "vote with your dollar" are fundamentally dead ends, and that if we want to make change we're going to have to organize as workers instead. shaming people for the things they buy does more to divide us than unite us
