  • I’m a noob leftist. Maybe a reformed (reforming?) liberal. I am anticapitalist.

    I don’t think a 19th century European necessarily devised the perfect economic system. Maybe we don’t have to be obliged to label ourselves by which 19th century European we agree with the most. There are a lot of people smarter than me who know more than me who disagree with each other, I don’t know if we can move society in my lifetime enough that the difference between anarchism and communism will make a huge public policy difference. I’m more concerned with stopping fascism and working for universal healthcare.


  • This is odd to say when the YouTube algorithm has been proven to push right wing propaganda.

    The concept of “conspiracies” is a bit off. It’s not a “conspiracy” when Bezos kills the Washington Post’s endorsement of Harris, or fires journalists who criticize him. YouTube doesn’t need to remove a video if the algorithm never shows it to anybody.

    It is kinda crazy to imagine a secret cabal of rich people who surreptitiously run the world, rather than the well known cabal of rich people who openly run the world.
