Heres how the cycle of abuse toward me goes.

Someone builds a thing to give themselves power.

I point out the nascent hierarchic structure being formed and its bad purposes

The people running it attack me for shit i havent done.

The people under them join in.

Time passes.

Eventually everything i said about the leaders comes to pass.

Rinse repeat. Everyone forgets but me.

@wxcafe @laurelai I believe it to be a carryover from being raised in an extremely competitive socioeconomic system.

@wxcafe @laurelai IMO they *should* be, but a lot of people are very emotionally invested in their ideology being right and the others being wrong. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8alJKKJDUrI

@laurelai @wxcafe Situationalism isn't discussed as much as postmodernism (though I think it should be) as it was a forerunner of actual "postmodern neo-marxism". It was affiliated with a few modernist art movements though so it tends not to be seen as such. It was an anti-authoritarian marxist movement/international collective that I think doesn't get enough attention.

@laurelai @wxcafe A lot of people dump on it as pomo is a killer of marxism-leninism. A lot of pomo-adjacent ideas are anti-authoritarian and some of it is specifically anti-authoritarian marxist. Almost all of it pointed to the kind of dogmatism and belief in a singular, inarguable solution to anything as a bad idea.

The ones that really hate pomo are marxist-leninists, but marxism devoid of any additional context is very modernist (universalism, objective fact oriented, etc)

for anyone interested, I did a video on how issues are framed and watching it gives you a doctorate in postmodernism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=remnggKvZQQ&list=PL9oHQnEByWyXObkJN9YYQS9hxBjpN8RLG

@alinrautoiu @shriekingmarxist not a terrible observation

I'll say this: the centrists could really benefit from being on a social network with no algorithms.

I'll also say this: I have tried and failed to explain a federated social network to a few I talk to. It's really a foreign concept to them and I'm not sure they will actually stay here.

@thegarlic this is the best account

@DrIzixs I had an outline that makes ultimately the same point but I did very little of what I had planned lol

@OldBrushNewPaper honestly I think very applicable

@Laurelai lol fuck that
