The Wanderer, James Gleeson
really like this, reminds me of something like the honor in stubborn willfulness or maybe hopeless struggle. Not especially hopeful resistance. The thing resisted is weird and the atmosphere is weird 😁

The late 2020s as the final act of modernity
In The Reflexive Imperative Margaret Archer tells an initially slightly counter-intuitive story about modernity in terms of an accumulating struggle from which ever fewer people are able to insulate themselves. Her arguments rests on an understanding of how social and cultural change was encountered and responded to by differently positioned groups. For some it cast them in a position of protecting what was slipping away. For others it created the challenge of creating something new after change was forced upon them. The different interests of groups, as well as the changing ways in which they interpret those interests, leads increasing numbers to act in pursuit of those (often mutually exclusive interests) with important conequences:
Firstly, that these initial manifestations of competitive contradictions spread to affect all social institutions – in state and civil society alike – where the actions of collective agents were a spur to acquire organisation and to articulate goals on the part of disgruntled primary agents, as I have analysed at length for education. Secondly, that this spelt increasing mobilisation of greater and greater sections of the population, though far from the majority.
Reflexive Imperative Pg 27
In other words the more groups organise themselves in pursuit of their interests, the more imperative it becomes for inactive groups to defend interests that might have until then only been latently recognised. There’s a spiral of mobilisation which happens patchily and unevenly but creates a long-term tendency to ever increasing collective activity. I think we can see the depoliticisation of late stage neoliberalism as a temporary interregnum in which countervailing forces engendered a new radicalisation but that, as Richard Hames puts it:
There was this period we talked about a lot of a very rapid atomisation from the late 60s through to the 90s and early 00s. My sense is that the internet has reversed some of that, people have stitched themselves back together in new kinds of ways. That has happened in a context where there hasn’t been much political organising on the ground, but there has been a lot of political ideas and people have attached themselves to them.
In essence social platforms offered a new infrastructure through which this tendency towards mobilisation could begin a spiral of acceleration. Archer wrote in 2012 that “Those who decline such personal involvement could remain temporarily untouched by these struggles and their associated situational logic of competition … for the time being” (pg 31). The psychic counterpart to this is what Zizek once described as the desire for “floating freely in my undisturbed balance”. It’s a fantasy of being insulated from struggle, being above the fray in an individually sovereign life which will remain undisturbed by social antagonism. That’s exactly what Covid briefly ruptured for everyone, to at least some degree.
It’s what now becomes decreasingly possible for anyone in late 2025 as the far-right rises globally. It makes me suddenly wonder if rather than seeing a social formation beyond modernity, we are instead seeing something more like the final act of the modern story. Which again brings me back to my morbid but necessary preoccupation with the explosion of antagonism which the coming crisis will inevitably bring.

CW: Not just the bad people - but what the 'good' are not doing - so let's talk (me and you, add more people as we go?)...
@ScottLucas I'm not sure how to say this, but if you're willing to talk to me then we could set a small example to others and figure some of this out.
I appreciate this is long...
But just skimming at first lines of arrowed posts ( ➡️ ) should be enough. The numbered arrowed posts are main points directly numbered below (thanks for trying):1➡️ The fact that I've tried with people says a lot about my experience (my whole life trying).
Way before any type of famous personality on TV or internet (as the new TV internet watching everyone on youtube) I was trying literally like that was my job as a human along side anything I was doing .but also ended up ditching seeing it's falseness or misaligned foundations.
2➡️ And it means that I feel I can say something based on that #experience as a I had time to re-look each point AND after watching 1000's (my computer can count what I've saved) I think I can give you the specific material to match whatever I'm saying so it's not just "what I am saying" as emotionally encrypted stuff... even though #trust is obviously what we need in life anyway and to allow for imperfect reply.
But importantly the #sense or #belief (in anything) doesn't seem to be there - which is my main point of all this. No believe, no trust, nothing will make us all bad, imperfect, terrorists that can't learn (and we don't want to teach them or be better in ourselves). And that leaves what we have now as name calling / letting media brand others like poking others with their footage... burning everyone.3➡️ Another main point is ANYONE wherever I've been, parents, friends, years on #fediverse (as my account shows trying) proves talking to people is IMPOSSIBLE - like near-0 apart from :oh that's nice". Beyond the first one or two DM's - then nothing.
Even those that say "oh but I prefer in person" don't actually do it on asking / seeing / watching. NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Actually just not 'good' as a definition and could be "labelled" (without looking down on everyone) as #IRRESPONSIBLE.Now it's easy to 'blame' online for people being worried to communicate but even about what they love to do it's only aesthetics / less challenging stuff.
Almost STILL in the playing online games / fiddling with #Tech phase of adolescent life... (not writing off all #Techies but #communication and #human #focus is tough with these types which I think many are as #Playstation #generation 🎮 :playstation: :linux: ).Just endless playing eventually leads into the mess too left by those companies while adult people are playing #Army #FPS games #Counterstrike and thir kids too...
Better the tech world was about the ability help people communicate but that's not enough to get them to actually communicate about important things in a better non-combative way.
Can we help the world communicate intentions and manage their time 'a bit' better by playing a newer game of "relativity" and "reationships" to real world?
We've already achieved now in tech - not much more needed with all sorts of media and chat possible... now need to actually do human improvement work online and practice humanism, even with the Tech / Techies / Adult kids!
In my whole life I've been trying with a long list or 'everyone' and IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME EXCUSES OR SILENCE.
➡️ And it's not something that will magically change as it needs to 'build' or 'grow' AS PEOPLE! (literally grow sense).
Developing people, not just #technology!
❓ ➡️ So without #antagonism or support of any big celeb - do you want to continue talking about it? ❓ ⬅️

MAIN QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS DONE
⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️
PLEASE REPLY.Otherwise it's the same CONSISTENT PROBLEM JUST PEOPLE ARE SO FULL OF EXCUSES (not planning time to talk, shying away) to the extent they leave it all to get to shit, almost like driving a car every day and see the repairs needed and even obviously half-broken wheel, only to say "hmm not now, later" constantly AND never planning to talk or think about repair.

OK AGAIN NO NEED READ MORE IF YOU CAN'T -
Appreciate it's long and cups of tea... but try quick reply and then adding as you. Don't mind if you delete and re-draft later... I'm forgiving.
.
But just skimming at first lines of arrowed posts ( ➡️ ) should be enough. The numbered arrowed posts are main points directly numbered below (thanks for trying):⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️ ⏺️
No reply means it will not get better like this AND ALMOST SHOULDN'T !
Shirkers (not you but those that almost professionally doing it or blaming their #workaholism) and #silent people also build the nothing (or less than nothing while others dig into us.)#Workaholic work is not work when their is no balance in their life (or participating in others like my life claiming people to be #independent when they rely on State Banks Supermarkets mainly and even that is going to shit)
❓ ➡️I saw somewhere SILENCE IS VIOLENCE and not I believe it - not just in the emotional context of #war or to force people to think like me - it just is when it gets to that level turning away from truth to that extent and leaving the door open / seeing bad people and do near-0 about it. That's almost as bad as those that know they do bad AND announce it (whether they do it or not but at least say their intentions). #SILENCEISVIOLENCE
➡️ So that is the problem and what we can do... by accepting I and others have said to our parents, professors, laid it out, explained the underlying evil / work of banks and state funding #war etc etc and not getting anything back - so we have to accept #DIY (again with proof of work not just racist claims or fear only) and help each other OUT OF IT NOTHINGNESS or #EVIL / bad intentions currently under-pinning life and even as our platform for living as part of their pyramid (you and me included ad why people often won't talk - so more anonymous talk is important for that to collect all the points / balance better / prepare answers).
Even when my parents or others agreed about banks etc - they have not wanted to continue to do anything or slowly integrate telling themselves more or tell their children how the whole 'system' is to #cheat them, #devalue them / #inflate costs and make their future more expensive which drives everyone crazy (ier)... not just the crazy I could see happening / underpinning what parents thought was ok to grow people up on (intensive us of energy / gas from #Russia or whichever Super-Power you can't trust, not accepting bad loops at home or at work etc etc). If you look at the chickens and living conditions - it's much the same - even without pushing anyone to be vegetarian bit more. But #animalcruelty is not much different now to our model of packed places treading on top of each other.
➡️ I think the public you might point to has realised that accepting to talk to ANYONE that can actually talk and present facts is "better" (in some way better than nothing) because getting 0 or even -100% from #State and #Banks are not making the minimums for life AT ALL.
So some speakers at least JUST START PEOPLE OFF on the ladder of some understanding and decent media and THIS was my main point of writing - at least they reply, can point to real things, see the towns becoming all the same monotony / dominated blandness lacking our individuality (and even take overs of various kind from cultures also they don't understand and worship different things on top of that).
Not that people know their own bibles or bloody trails of conquest - but still the blandness regardless would be reason enough for all of us to be so depressed and hating each other instead of possibly another bible.
The logical and debate where a person can decide for themselves - that is the best bet we have and can achieve it - almost like the time they spend already but better. I can help with this - and think this post and others will improve that.
In order to #unite anything they need to unit themselves as individuals. And right now I see a bunch of kids in adult bodies almost which I can't label anything other than very unfinished.
#Humanity and #Humanism is broke down because you (personal / plural) didn't want to do ANYTHING or even accept and continue with people like me that have PLENTY OF TIME to do the work for you and get you going in whatever you want, knowing I still I won't hate you at the end. I mean what else as safe?
We must integrate life into our daily life AND work (eventually don't go without a plan) to change the current "I'm too busy" excuses (covering the other excuses of will-power / lack of how) towards "I / we're working on it or going to do that / are just waiting for a few more"
and then "slowly but surely" all balances any existing extreme out. All of it,
➡️ Thinking state is going to give you time, give you chance to solve things it's creating badly, thinking it will show people hope is by-design wrong and shooting for the moon wasting time,
➡️ Instead digging and trying to grow something is a chance and practice worth doing (new generations are forgetting this) so talking to people grows them despite the "old world" style of mentality / ego /authority that exist in almost everyone / everywhere which I hope to bring out naturally and iron out nicely with them seeing it once laid out #nicely....
So the numbered points are what I wanted to make say in existing people who are by default non-existent / nearly non-humans in terms of daily tweaking / repair of life / practising / making it better in just themselves... and then those further away I've been looking at all my life (all of youtube, documentaries etc) can show that those how to #speak SO THEN we have *some* logic will 'win' together *even if* they don't want to solve the world
Right now the rest can't even sort it out on a individual level or together coherently. MANY times with even the best, if I talk to them long enough they can't admit (despite agreeing) or get to the Hitler sounding responses, get too personal as competition, or can't resolve things as "it was deliberate and I just hav eto clear it up" - they can't accept.
They can say as answer "oh but I have to eat, banks are ok, it's not my job.... etc..." without reducing their spend or spending on the bad things supermakets - they want it all - even the bad - unless you bring the child that made the garment right there in front of them instead of sewing and keeping old things... "Na throw it" (throw life away basically).
I have all the excuses written down lol.... so I'm not surprised.
I appreciate this is long...
But even skimming or looking at first lines of arrowed posts ( ➡️ ) should be enough.➡️ Bad people win by default of people not doing good. And even some do nothing and slam EVERY SINGLE PERSON for trying. I can attest to that.
It's not what the bad people do only, it's what the good don't do.
And by "good" I mean the level of good we are not at currently in thinking talking more though some have it online as more of a complete / improved person as much as they can.
❓ SO WHAT AM I ASKING ❓
➡️ The forever work is probably me and you talking... forever about it.
Until others can come out of their self-restrictions and adjust / forgive / get up to speed with EVERYTHING. We do it and then snowball... we see all these #famous people do it but we without big #political agendas.
Calling people names is not enough not to beleive parts of what the saying clearly happening to all of our towns and streets (just the blandness / poor investments / tyranny).
Now with people relying on #State and #Banks as the default we can say NO THAT IS 100% ROAD TO HELL. pROVEN.
Mainstream media / youtube are also skewing things (getting better and sometimes worse) BUT I, you and others have enough examples to pick and chose and fall into #shitshow piss-takes of it all. Not evolve into hating it all and then it's rug pulls (usually #financially / from #taxes #paying themselves for the 'help' or any solution back paying just the admin to do little more than nothing).
➡️ We simply have to do the homework and trust people like you and me IF they can do proof of work (like the video timepoints referring to what was really said and exact #racist words... not daily mail / sun #newspaper #tabloids which then pay these individuals in court after false rape charges and a whole shit of alleged / label calling shenanigans). It's a #shitshow all round - if you're willing to do the life-long-work slowly then you're reply anything. All people are being jailed for nothing as tweets or standing up for themselves (not only the usual suspects or groups) so we know something is up trying to hide what we know now. STATE AND BANKS DON'T CARE!!! Sorry we just have to eat that betrayal and see most of work was diverted in $HIT.
➡️ But believing in a fellow human being is actually all but gone so I see that as first things to 'grow' and build - as all the hating (evident from the other hashtags) are NOT the way to build.
If people put all that hating energy and time into building themselves and others (even writing crap to me) they would get a lot further but they don't want the challenge or to be challenged. So hating it is and playing into the worse of all these the #State and #Bank part of the #cruelest people underpinning all this and #cruelty as a #system.
I believe I can literally fix 'it' because I have made time and can do it - and everyone can do something (once they find it in themselves or let others push them to do 'something' and let all our goodness come to surface knowing from this point it takes a while to reach positives / clear out every single negative point together and make it easier for others.)
Enough said. Please reply.
Anything for now. but continue... -

Developing people, not just #technology!
❓ ➡️ So without #antagonism or support of any big celeb - do you want to continue talking about it? ❓ ⬅️

PLEASE REPLY.Otherwise it's the same CONSISTENT PROBLEM JUST PEOPLE ARE SO FULL OF EXCUSES (not planning time to talk, shying away) to the extent they leave it all to get to shit, almost like driving a car every day and see the repairs needed and even obviously half-broken wheel, only to say "hmm not now, later" constantly AND never planning to talk or think about repair.

No reply means it will not get better like this AND ALMOST SHOULDN'T !
Shirkers (not you but those that almost professionally doing it or blaming their #workaholism) and #silent people also build the nothing (or less than nothing while others dig into us.)#Workaholic work is not work when their is no balance in their life (or participating in others like my life claiming people to be #independent when they rely on State Banks Supermarkets mainly and even that is going to shit)
❓ ➡️I saw somewhere SILENCE IS VIOLENCE and not I believe it - not just in the emotional context of #war or to force people to think like me - it just is when it gets to that level turning away from truth to that extent and leaving the door open / seeing bad people and do near-0 about it. That's almost as bad as those that know they do bad AND announce it (whether they do it or not but at least say their intentions). #SILENCEISVIOLENCE
➡️ So that is the problem and what we can do... by accepting I and others have said to our parents, professors, laid it out, explained the underlying evil / work of banks and state funding #war etc etc and not getting anything back - so we have to accept #DIY (again with proof of work not just racist claims or fear only) and help each other OUT OF IT NOTHINGNESS or #EVIL / bad intentions currently under-pinning life and even as our platform for living as part of their pyramid (you and me included ad why people often won't talk - so more anonymous talk is important for that to collect all the points / balance better / prepare answers).
Even when my parents or others agreed about banks etc - they have not wanted to continue to do anything or slowly integrate telling themselves more or tell their children how the whole 'system' is to #cheat them, #devalue them / #inflate costs and make their future more expensive which drives everyone crazy (ier)... not just the crazy I could see happening / underpinning what parents thought was ok to grow people up on (intensive us of energy / gas from #Russia or whichever Super-Power you can't trust, not accepting bad loops at home or at work etc etc). If you look at the chickens and living conditions - it's much the same - even without pushing anyone to be vegetarian bit more. But #animalcruelty is not much different now to our model of packed places treading on top of each other.
➡️ I think the public you might point to has realised that accepting to talk to ANYONE that can actually talk and present facts is "better" (in some way better than nothing) because getting 0 or even -100% from #State and #Banks are not making the minimums for life AT ALL.
So some speakers at least JUST START PEOPLE OFF on the ladder of some understanding and decent media and THIS was my main point of writing - at least they reply, can point to real things, see the towns becoming all the same monotony / dominated blandness lacking our individuality (and even take overs of various kind from cultures also they don't understand and worship different things on top of that).
Not that people know their own bibles or bloody trails of conquest - but still the blandness regardless would be reason enough for all of us to be so depressed and hating each other instead of possibly another bible.
The logical and debate where a person can decide for themselves - that is the best bet we have and can achieve it - almost like the time they spend already but better. I can help with this - and think this post and others will improve that.
In order to #unite anything they need to unit themselves as individuals. And right now I see a bunch of kids in adult bodies almost which I can't label anything other than very unfinished.
#Humanity and #Humanism is broke down because you (personal / plural) didn't want to do ANYTHING or even accept and continue with people like me that have PLENTY OF TIME to do the work for you and get you going in whatever you want, knowing I still I won't hate you at the end. I mean what else as safe?
We must integrate life into our daily life AND work (eventually don't go without a plan) to change the current "I'm too busy" excuses (covering the other excuses of will-power / lack of how) towards "I / we're working on it or going to do that / are just waiting for a few more"
and then "slowly but surely" all balances any existing extreme out. All of it,
➡️ Thinking state is going to give you time, give you chance to solve things it's creating badly, thinking it will show people hope is by-design wrong and shooting for the moon wasting time,
➡️ Instead digging and trying to grow something is a chance and practice worth doing (new generations are forgetting this) so talking to people grows them despite the "old world" style of mentality / ego /authority that exist in almost everyone / everywhere which I hope to bring out naturally and iron out nicely with them seeing it once laid out #nicely....
So the numbered points are what I wanted to make say in existing people who are by default non-existent / nearly non-humans in terms of daily tweaking / repair of life / practising / making it better in just themselves... and then those further away I've been looking at all my life (all of youtube, documentaries etc) can show that those how to #speak SO THEN we have *some* logic will 'win' together *even if* they don't want to solve the world
Right now the rest can't even sort it out on a individual level or together coherently. MANY times with even the best, if I talk to them long enough they can't admit (despite agreeing) or get to the Hitler sounding responses, get too personal as competition, or can't resolve things as "it was deliberate and I just hav eto clear it up" - they can't accept.
They can say as answer "oh but I have to eat, banks are ok, it's not my job.... etc..." without reducing their spend or spending on the bad things supermakets - they want it all - even the bad - unless you bring the child that made the garment right there in front of them instead of sewing and keeping old things... "Na throw it" (throw life away basically).
I have all the excuses written down lol.... so I'm not surprised.
I appreciate this is long...
But even skimming or looking at first lines of arrowed posts ( ➡️ ) should be enough.➡️ Bad people win by default of people not doing good. And even some do nothing and slam EVERY SINGLE PERSON for trying. I can attest to that.
It's not what the bad people do only, it's what the good don't do.
And by "good" I mean the level of good we are not at currently in thinking talking more though some have it online as more of a complete / improved person as much as they can.
❓ SO WHAT AM I ASKING ❓
➡️ The forever work is probably me and you talking... forever about it.
Until others can come out of their self-restrictions and adjust / forgive / get up to speed with EVERYTHING. We do it and then snowball... we see all these #famous people do it but we without big #political agendas.
Calling people names is not enough not to beleive parts of what the saying clearly happening to all of our towns and streets (just the blandness / poor investments / tyranny).
Now with people relying on #State and #Banks as the default we can say NO THAT IS 100% ROAD TO HELL. pROVEN.
Mainstream media / youtube are also skewing things (getting better and sometimes worse) BUT I, you and others have enough examples to pick and chose and fall into #shitshow piss-takes of it all. Not evolve into hating it all and then it's rug pulls (usually #financially / from #taxes #paying themselves for the 'help' or any solution back paying just the admin to do little more than nothing).
➡️ We simply have to do the homework and trust people like you and me IF they can do proof of work (like the video timepoints referring to what was really said and exact #racist words... not daily mail / sun #newspaper #tabloids which then pay these individuals in court after false rape charges and a whole shit of alleged / label calling shenanigans). It's a #shitshow all round - if you're willing to do the life-long-work slowly then you're reply anything. All people are being jailed for nothing as tweets or standing up for themselves (not only the usual suspects or groups) so we know something is up trying to hide what we know now. STATE AND BANKS DON'T CARE!!! Sorry we just have to eat that betrayal and see most of work was diverted in $HIT.
➡️ But believing in a fellow human being is actually all but gone so I see that as first things to 'grow' and build - as all the hating (evident from the other hashtags) are NOT the way to build.
If people put all that hating energy and time into building themselves and others (even writing crap to me) they would get a lot further but they don't want the challenge or to be challenged. So hating it is and playing into the worse of all these the #State and #Bank part of the #cruelest people underpinning all this and #cruelty as a #system.
I believe I can literally fix 'it' because I have made time and can do it - and everyone can do something (once they find it in themselves or let others push them to do 'something' and let all our goodness come to surface knowing from this point it takes a while to reach positives / clear out every single negative point together and make it easier for others.)
Enough said. Please reply.
Anything for now. but continue... -

A quotation from Bill Watterson
CALVIN: I’m writing a fund-raising letter. The secret to getting donations is to depict everyone who disagrees with you as the enemy. Then you explain how they’re systematically working to destroy everything you hold dear. It’s a War of Values! Rational discussion is hopeless! Compromise is unthinkable! Our only hope is well-funded antagonism, so we need your money to keep up the fight!
HOBBES: How cynically unconstructive.

Finally, Felix‘ #ecoevo paper is back from #PeerReview:
"…this manuscript is an important contribution that almost uniquely explores the evolutionary transitions between #mutualism through #commensalism and on to #antagonism, and vice versa. […] Not only are the results strong, but some of them are surprising, and in interesting ways that will be worth exploring in future years"
Thank you! 🤩

The Republican turn against democracy begins with racism
Support for authoritarian ideas in America is closely tied to the country’s long-running racial conflicts.
A September 2020 paper by Vanderbilt professor Larry Bartels, shows a statistical analysis of a survey of Republican voters -- analyzing the link between respondents’ score on a measure of “#ethnic #antagonism”
and their support for four anti-democratic statements
(e.g., “the traditional American way of life is disappearing so fast that we may have to use force to save it”).Their data show a clear finding:
💥The higher a voter scores on the ethnic antagonism scale,
the more likely they are to support anti-democratic ideas.This held true even when Bartels used regression analyses to compare racial attitudes to other predictors, like support for Trump.
“The strongest predictor by far of these antidemocratic attitudes is ethnic antagonism,” he writes.
For students of American history, this shouldn’t be a surprise.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act cemented Democrats as the party of racial equality,
causing racially resentful Democrats in the South and elsewhere to defect to the Republican Party.⚠️This sorting process, which took place over the next few decades, is the key reason America is so polarized.
It also explains why Republicans are increasingly willing to endorse anti-democratic political tactics and ideas.
In the past, restrictions on the franchise served to protect white political power in a changing country
🔥Today, as demographic change threatens to further undermine the central place of white Americans, many are becoming comfortable with an updated version of the Jim Crow South’s #authoritarian #tradition.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act cemented Democrats as the party of racial equality,
causing racially resentful Democrats in the South and elsewhere to defect to the Republican Party.⚠️This sorting process, which took place over the next few decades, is the key reason America is so polarized.
It also explains why Republicans are increasingly willing to endorse anti-democratic political tactics and ideas.
In the past, restrictions on the franchise served to protect white political power in a changing country
🔥Today, as demographic change threatens to further undermine the central place of white Americans, many are becoming comfortable with an updated version of the Jim Crow South’s #authoritarian #tradition.

🚨 New #preprint online! 🚨
From friend to foe and back - Coevolutionary transitions in the mutualism-antagonism continuum
1st author Felix Jäger studied the dynamic nature of biotic interactions and identified an evolutionary #TippingPoint: a gradual change in environmental conditions may lead to an abrupt breakdown of #mutualism to #antagonism, which can‘t be reversed by restoring the initial conditions. 🤯
