oop I was pointing to the wrong github repository. the whole intellectual property is available for theft at https://github.com/proletarian-library/proletarian-library.github.io

I feel that...Be safe out there! 🙏

mine too :(

i'm going to call my reps and senators today. i'm unbelievably angry and scared rn

@transferns yes do it! show them that we're not going to just roll over and take it

read through your proposition and it seems fairly similar, yes; if you'd like an overview of a similar model to the SRS, I'd recommend looking into YUGOPNIK's Unitas Mundi manifesto (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nojxsUA_hI)

yes that's it. well the gopnik is a little idealist but self-aware. if you'd like to read about how it has been historically developing on our continent there's the plurination (https://proletarian-library.neocities.org/en/toward-a-plurinational-america), the consensus (https://proletarian-library.neocities.org/es/consenso-de-nuestra-america), and ALBA-TCP (https://www.albatcp.org/en/acta/world-social-alternative/)

you're welcome...

hell yeah been waiting for a return

nostalgia is a weapon used by the corporate feudal state to sanitise memories and suppress the desire to learn or to innovate. used in tandem with fascism, it can quell dissent, encourage consumption, and discourage learning.

@badgraph1csghost - Interesting observations. I agree. Nostalgia can be used to manipulate people towards what is essentially slavery, *but* so can fantasies about an 'ideal' future (e.g.: "Futurism", techno-authoritarianism under the "utopian" guise of "The Californian Ideology"/"Effective Accelerationism", "Globalization" as a mask for the same old imperialism + colonialism, and so on.).

One needs to be *both* "progressive" in the sense of healing the destructive as rapidly as possible (before it becomes irreversible) and "conservative" in the sense of making the constructive as lasting as possible (while still being flexible enough to adapt). Therefore, I think the notion of a "political compass" is completely broken and I look at how consequences of actions differ from statements of ideology.

For example, healing from the atrocities of past events is different from trying to "sanitize" historical records in order to hide corruption within current social institutions. Likewise, trying to create a "utopic ideal" by enacting policies that only serve a few is a dystopia to everyone else. Similarly, over extraction of resources is not "interdependence", control through debt is not "aid", etc.

@letslearntogether right now, nostalgia is being used as a smokescreen. remakes and re-envisionings of older media, remastered versions of old games, and certainly the whole notion of "frutiger aero" are being used to get people to focus on the past as the future is being destroyed by political strongmen...

meanwhile, people who were around for the "frutiger aero era" are discarding their memories of the time in order to focus on this very inconsequential piece of commercial art history. getting everyone nostalgic for the past makes them less willing to engage with the present in all its horror. "think back, wasn't it easier back then? you can get back there you know."

nostalgia isn't /bad/, necessarily. it's just that the corporate feudal state has discovered how to use it to manipulate people using generative AI and analytics algorithms. i feel like more people are engaging with it than dealing with life anymore.

nice. I wasn't thinking about any of these things

Believing in a more humane future and taking action through sharing knowledge, informations, and respect to contribute for a better world. Definitely standing with people who refuse to be lulled by unfounded influences and consumerism.

Past and memories are parts of the history and we should not forget that. We have to build with the consideration of it to go further (where ?) and to focus on three tenses : the past, the present and the future. And not neglect any of them.

Depending on the situation an individual is in, they might or not be able to perceive the problem they are causing indirectly. Some people will prefer to sit on their gold (litteraly minerals) and protect it because they glued values on it while some are starving drinking water. You stand up when you have to, when there is injustice and the established states are not fair to everyone due of individualism, properties

*and enrichment of the elites. We have to act, to point it to make it change because this is not right. Of course, we have to know the rules to transgress it, self-education is important to elevate your mind and strategies. Correspondances is also a very smart move. (anyways, sorry my english is beeeed)

correspondence is good!
