  6. The main use cases of today's privately held commercialized social media, from Big Tech, are to manipulate and alter political biases and public opinions. Rest everything are moats to ensure dopamine fed captive audience while securing advertising revenue. Tailored algorithms aggressively drive the feed.

  7. #TechPolicyPress offers about the only #sociopolitical analysis of tech available anywhere, so I listen.

    Today there's an interview with #Mozilla's president. Surely a radical thinker, I hoped.

    He spoke about Mozilla's focus on AI, how it will generate "trillions of dollars of new wealth", how excited he is about #capitalism.

    And how great it is that #Firefox offers you more choice by letting you "change the default search engine" - WTF does that mean?

    🙄🥱

  12. In the current #sociopolitical landscape, building comradeship and solidarity is needed more than ever. However, the structures of capital and cultural norms are #blocking this path, promoting division and individualism that makes us all more “stupid”. How can we foster a community where #KISS class consciousness thrives?

    This solidarity and comradeship are meaningful resistance against #deathcult capitalist structures. A first step is bridging vertical and horizontal structures in a healthy ongoing fluffy/spiky debate. This helps move past the current fragility of class consciousness, to strengthen this path we need to examine how the “petit bourgeoisie” and cultural industries deflect and pre-empt discussions about class.

    Exclusion and division pushes the tendency to condemn and abuse, to mediate this mess is to create a culture where disagreement occur without exclusion. Addressing class does not mean downgrading the importance of many other issues like race and gender, all struggles are interconnected.

    To make this work, it is important to critique the “stupid” path of individualism, the focus on individual behaviour over structural critique undermines collective action. Let’s clearly look at the ideology of individualism propagated by the ruling class and its impact on solidarity. A structural critique is the path to challenge capitalist ideologies, to take this path we need to mediate the tendency to individualize and privatize issues. How do we shift the focus from individual behaviour to structural analysis in public discourse and activism?

    Revitalizing class consciousness is a way to push back fear and insecurity spread by the #deathcult. It should be easy to see that capital has subdued organized labour and co-opt the discourse of the left. Thus, the need for a renewed focus on class consciousness and mediating the left path, out of being mired in moralizing individualism and devoid of class analysis, which serves capital’s interests rather than challenging it. To do this, we need to move past the pursuit of #fashionista “bourgeois” recognition and its limitations.

    The #dotcons social media is enemy terrain, a trap set by communicative capitalism. Yes, we maybe can strategically use and abuse this mess to move people back to the #openweb which is the “native” path. Remember, the goal is not to simply be an “activist”, we need tools from our own community to grow and use like the #OMN, to aid in the growth and transformation of the working class and on the ground organizing. This is the difference between performative activism and genuine class struggle.

    Please, let’s shift the balance of focus from individualism to collective action and solidarity. Let’s stop our prat ish behaver on this. https://opencollective.com/open-media-network

  19. #Trump was a monstrous serial liar and misogynist of a #POTUS. But the supposedly progressive #JoeBiden has a son who pled #guilty to being a "rich" income #taxevader and illegal #gun owner, on top of being a #cocaine #addict.
