A thread on the future of #RightToOwn and #RightToRepair :
I've experienced first hand in recent months how peers handle cars. Most know almost nothing about how they work so basic maintenance and upkeep are an afterthought. Unfortunately the new(er) cars they get into are increasingly more complex than their previous one so in a way, you can't blame them entirely.
Because of this, they're unaware of the gold mine they had. Older Toyota's, Honda's, cars from before 2015. Simple and reliable.

RE: https://xoxo.zone/@davidcelis/117054792127968357
I seriously suspect certain #Democrats could gain a lot of support from demographics that have a disproportionate share of otherwise Republican-voting or non-voting people by committing to using all legal and budgetary tools of state power to restore the supply and reduce the price of PC and laptop DRAM (and SSDs too) for individuals and for organizations other than the hyper-scalers.
Potential policy actions include using (perhaps after amending) the CHIPS and Science Act, using the Defence Production Act, starting and funding FTC and antitrust investigations, and even creating a state corporation to build a chip fab specifically for RAM and SSDs in standard PC and laptop forms.
I could see Rep. #AOC and Sen. Elizabeth Warren successfully using this to direct attention and votes away from Republicans, even well outside #NY14 and #MA (respectively). A couple others who would be credible to advocate the federal government intervene to redirect semiconductor supply away from enterprise AI (HBM) and back toward general computing (DRAM) could include Joyner Kiros (already opposed to AI data center construction), and Dr. Abdul El-Sayed (already opposed by the entire oligarchy; he could address semiconductor hoarding both as part of his populist economic messaging and as part of the cost, through hospital hardware prices, of healthcare).
Combining and connecting RAM & SSDs with related issues of #rightToRepair, #rightToOwn, #privacy, land, water, electricity, pollution, noise, underhanded municipal interference, creative and intellectual labor theft, and opposition to the AI, cryptocurrency (in fewer places), and #surveillance (in more places) industries, several Democratic candidates could make headway with a demographic of voters who usually lean highly libertarian or politically disaffected—voters who heavily favored Republicans in 2024 due to Elon Musk’s aggressive anti-establishment electioneering (which they now realize was disingenuous). Right now, most of that base is feeling betrayed and irate, as the hyper-scalers are interfering with their passions, their property, their jobs, and their businesses.
Places which could be swung with such an expanded hardware-focused platform, where parts availability and affordability is addressed as part of R2R, may include #TX10 (home to a lot of tech manufacturing and a large population of hardware engineers and technicians who despise corporate anti-repair, including #LouisRossmann himself), and perhaps #NC13 (where a candidate would need to focus specifically on hardware price-gouging and the right to repair as matters of autonomy, while avoiding anything too "over-regulation" sounding).
#OR05 (a right-to-repair battleground with many independent repair professionals and DIY enthusiasts who view anti-repair as an assault on private property) already has a Democrat, but perhaps Rep. Bynum could secure support of a demographic of voters who might otherwise lean R by addressing this issue. Similarly, #NC02 (home of #GamersNexus) currently has a #Democrat, but perhaps Rep. Ross could meet with Steve Burke (whom I'm guessing is a constituent of hers) on GN and discuss this.
And then there's the "AI" industry and data center backlash, where, depending on riding, voters could be swayed with varying emphases. Land, water, and drought issues may reach voters in #TX21 and #AZ01; noise pollution and underhanded municipal interference in #VA10 and #GA06; creative and intellectual labor theft in #CA30 and #NY10.
To gain effective rhetoric, candidates and their staff could study a bunch of recent GamersNexus reporting, especially the #GNCA videos, and read the popular comments on those videos from fans. (I'd suggest @davidgerard as a source, but I'm guessing he's from the UK. AFAIK, Steve Burke is American. I'd volunteer if the #NDP or #GreenParty wanted to run on this issue. @avilewis?)
For examples of this messaging in practice, already credible voices for a #consumerRights focus include Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (a R2R champion in #WA03 who could appeal to libertarians, PC builders, and rural tech-hobbyists who voted Republican in 2024 but despise corporate infringement on private property), and Sen. Ron Wyden (a long-standing advocate for consumer privacy and digital rights in #OR — a state with a lot of tech professionals and digital sovereignty advocates).

Great to hear Kay Dean of #FakeReviewWatch discussing fake review with #rightToRepair and #rightToOwn advocate #LouisRossmann today. I’m looking forward to seeing what other consequences WeRecoverData will have brought upon themselves.

From #LouisRosmann: “Here's proof the DMCA needs to be reformed or abolished.”
Repealing #DMCA1201 is another easy winning position for any non-sellout #Democrats with the courage and integrity to put the People's interests before the interests of rapacious monopolist #oligarchs. There's almost certainly not one remaining Republican candidate who's not too venal to take this stance, and it would win support of a lot of the "digital native" aged majority-white and majority-male tech enthusiast crowd, many of whom voted Republican last time, without alienating any other significant voting demographic (where technofeudal broligarchs, numbering fewer than the "likes" on this one video, count as insignificant).
Combine this necessary #rightToOwn legislative correction with #rightToRepair, a #privacy bill that would kill the data broker industry (which itself is a national security threat, as well as another winning issue with tech enthusiasts), protection of #E2EE (which would prevent the next #saltTyphoon, as well as being another winning issue with tech enthusiasts), and opposition to show-your-papers bills (the falsely so-called #ageVerification bills promoted by Meta to kill competition), and you already have a winning platform for this set of swing voters.

Some non-corpie #Democrats are finally picking up #rightToRepair and #rightToOwn. Great to see. Angela Baker of #ParkrosePermaculture adapts the message well for audiences besides the nerds who’ve been subscribed to #LouisRossmann for years.
This is non-partisan issue that Republicans under Trump won’t touch, because they’re afraid of offending Donald’s patron oligarchs. It’s also an issue which will land well with a lot of voters who are much less likely to care about the usual leftist issues as such. It’s a great complement to those issues, and it doesn’t run contrary to anything important to the leftist or progressive base.

I know we won’t hear it from either corporate party, so I’d love to hear about this from @avilewis of the #NDP.
I live in one of many blue/orange electoral districts, where there are enough gamers, technicians, mechanics, farmers, nurses, and ticked off normies jaded by conventional slimy politics that a sincerely blunt Graham Platner-esque economic populist message, framing leftist policy in terms of practical solutions to material conditions, paired with a #rightToRepair and #rightToOwn message, could swing the margin orange.
The same state capture by oligarchs enabled by DMCA § 1201 in the USA is enabled by the propagandically misnamed Copyright Modernization Act in Canada. My work puts me in discussion with a lot of locals about their electronics, and the anti-repair and anti-ownership effects of the CMA anger a lot of people, as does the barrier it imposes to migrating off Meta platforms and other US tech monopolies. (They don’t put it in those words, but they talk about frustrations with devices and services and the companies, and express feeling trapped.)
As @pluralistic points out, the CMA was enacted by Harper and Clement despite overwhelming Canadian popular opposition, ostensibly in exchange for a trade deal the US is now violating. However, that’s not the language to use with a bunch of blue-collar types, nor with a much of IT nerds. For the language to talk with them out here, listen to #LouisRossmann, to Steve Burke of #GamersNexus, and to analogous voices on topics of cars, farm equipment, medical equipment, military equipment, and personal electronics.
Ensure you and any NDP candidate running in a blue/orange district fluently understand these topics and discuss them in language relatable to working-class Canadians who don’t consider themselves “political,” by relating the topics to material conditions of people’s lives at home, in business, at the clinic or hospital, etc., and you’ll have something to offer that neither Pierre nor Mark will touch.

I know we won’t hear it from either corporate party, so I’d love to hear about this from @avilewis of the #NDP.
I live in one of many blue/orange electoral districts, where there are enough gamers, technicians, mechanics, farmers, nurses, and ticked off normies jaded by conventional slimy politics that a sincerely blunt Graham Platner-esque economic populist message, framing leftist policy in terms of practical solutions to material conditions, paired with a #rightToRepair and #rightToOwn message, could swing the margin orange.
The same state capture by oligarchs enabled by DMCA § 1201 in the USA is enabled by the propagandically misnamed Copyright Modernization Act in Canada. My work puts me in discussion with a lot of locals about their electronics, and the anti-repair and anti-ownership effects of the CMA anger a lot of people, as does the barrier it imposes to migrating off Meta platforms and other US tech monopolies. (They don’t put it in those words, but they talk about frustrations with devices and services and the companies, and express feeling trapped.)

@marcoxa @thedarktangent @pluralistic Pretty much, but now the broligarchs are trying to force it on everyone. They really don't like taking "no" for an answer.
Indeed, that one thing—categorical unwillingness to respect others' refusal of consent—is the defining characteristic in common to every one of them. Despite how some viewers understandably took offence, Louis Rossmann characterized the you'll-own-nothing CEOs' mentality exactly correctly.
No wonder they bought the US government for the rapist-in-chief.

Another channel where I'd love to see you appear, if you can, is Louis Rossmann's. Louis is a very active advocate for #RightToRepair and #RightToOwn, a likewise active opponent of #surveillanceCapitalism and #enshittification, and a strangely effective herder of tech-culture cats. He founded the Consumer Rights Wiki [1], and lobbies and organizes political campaigns which get gamers and PC builders out to city halls and state legislatures. His YouTube channel has 2.47 million subscribers, similarly active to the GamersNexus viewers, and the Consumer Right's Wiki editors may soon give the venerable @molly0xfff a run for her (figurative) Wikipedian money.
He's also covered the Bloomberg #DMCA abuse against GN [2], and volunteers to fund legal battles against such corporate #censorship. There's likely a large part of the combined audiences of GamersNexus and of Rossmann's channel which do not overlap demographically (or, for a significant portion, politically) with typical audiences of the venues where I've seen or heard of you (@pluralistic) presenting the book so far, yet those audiences are certain to be amenable to your message, so talking with those audiences could help both the sales and the mission of the book.

@doorbraak ja, maar graag behouden we wél het #rechtopeigendom alsjeblieft.
#eigendom #righttoownThe difference between #socialism and #communism is that in socialism one has the right to own stuff, which is inherently #capitalist but, inherently needed for a #democracy to keep on existing, because, if the #gouvernement owns everything, like in a #marxist #leninist State, how are you going to afford your #Opposition argaist that State, to keep its power in check?

@leftylabourtech @wbftw @renatarocha @pluralistic The only political candidate in anglo Canada I’ve heard raise a related issue (#RightToRepair) is Bonnie Critchley. Although the Battle River–Crowfoot outcome was a foregone conclusion, because Pierre re-ran in the most singlemindedly partisan-tribalistic federal riding in the country—so he wouldn’t have to take “no” for an answer—Bonnie’s R2R message resonated with the portion of voters there who think enough before voting that they wouldn’t elect a rock of it were painted blue. There are a lot of orange/blue ridings in rural Canada, and a lot of gamers, technicians, mechanics, farmers, and so on who could be led to the orange side with a pragmatic, informed, and authentic message.
For example, if you want to make headway with the voters who follow the likes of “penguinz0” (on YouTube), #AviLewis (and why hasn’t your team created an account for you here yet, btw), start by watching the GamersNexus GPU smuggling documentary and the follow-up videos about the Bloomberg DMCA abuse. Share those. Then watch a bunch of Louis Rossmann advocacy videos, contribute to the Consumer Rights Wiki, and join the Consumer Rights Discord: but do NOT make like Jagmeet, when he was riding AOC’s coattails, cargo culting her Among Us fundraiser (for Texas freeze victims) without bothering to learn the game before showing up on a livestream with her and pro gaming streamers to an audience of millions who’d already raised > $100,000/h. Don’t present with a “How do you do, fellow kids” like that, but rather, respect your audience by knowing before you speak or act, or by watching, asking questions, listening, and reflecting when your host knows better.
Play your cards right, Avi, and you might be able to appear with Cory or Lina on GN or on Louis’ show, talking about R2R, #RightToOwn, monopolies and oligopolies, and the power they wield against us due to their abuse of market dominance. Defy all PR training about talking points, but be sure to give good faith answers to every question asked of you. Don’t bother mentioning the party unless asked—the Canadian viewers will figure it out—but shows like Steve’s (GN), and similar high-integrity journalism about other topics such as cars, medical devices, tools, and so on, can be your version of Mark Carney appearing on American comedy talk shows. A lot of Canadians watch those, and they’re currently not entirely enamoured with the entitled-snobbish Liberals or DARVO-whinging Conservatives.
Btw, Cory, you could probably get some favourable coverage of your latest book on Steve’s and Louis’ shows. It’s right up both audiences’ allies.
