Any economical ways to run farms on rail? A lot of the roads where I have lived were just built and paid for by famers to move equipment between pay dirt and make their way to town occasionally

Hey you are doing your best and actually thinking of ways to be better. Don’t let critics keep you down. (Just throwing my support your way)

I do think its possible but my bet is more on the probability that it will be leveraged to commodify and further alienate labor so that that power can be leveraged less.

The tools used to align the machines is where that power would reside in. A kind of church caste for the machine with the purpose of giving meaning.

Only possible because of those that choose to fight. Discretion is the better part of valor and everything but we have to stand up when and where we can.

If every person that desperately wanted change for a better world fled for hills the world would be worse for it.

Actually a lot of the southern secession was built on the so called conserstone of the Confederacy that maintaining a racial heirachy of white supremcey was the only way to preserve the white race and avoid total violent retribution from the freed slaves.

And I mean the latter idea really wasn’t crazy most slave rebellions had very very bloody, because obviously they would be (and very justifiably so).

That’s honestly a good point. Anti immigration rhetoric is wildy different across the US in part from this. Where some Hispanics are extremely raciest reasons for being anti immigration with the belief that they are “white” but the Midwest or southern definitions of whiteness excludes them.

There was also the very real fear of spies during WWII. Not that at all excuses interment camps.

I mean he’s right. A system where ubi is just handed out to placate the unenpowered is a recipe for disaster.

We NEED real power, including economic. Why would your vote matter if the military doesn’t need you, why would your purchasing power matter if you don’t produce anything, etc. People may have intrinsic worth but intrinsic worth doesn’t the levers of power pull.

Radical is just further left than reformer.

Is that better?

I use it more like free radicals but applied as people. Little agents of chaos that disrupt the system. Again for better and worse.

I mean I guess I could use the Victoria 3 definition but I chose this one since its more contemporary

Riots, terriost plots, open calls for revolutions, etc all fall in that camp in my mind

I have both a shut off near the mixer and on the handle and I love it.

Radicals radicalize radicals.

Only stable conditions, equaliberiam or entropy deradicalize.

Social was a flash point. Large parts of society interacted for the first time. Echo chambers formed, energy level increase, radical leave the bubbles and new groups militerize in defense.

It made less sense to people out of the loop though. Nazis, antifa, police are raciest, lgbtq, Christian nationalism, socialism, etc. All of these ideas were subcultures that grew bubble online cause they could (much like the Arab spring), and the radicals that formed and took action made big moves from everyone else’s ignorance.

The majority didn’t have the means, and frankly still don’t, to hold the concepts or ideas as unique groups so instead they mapped onto the two party system warts and all. Because “right wing” was Republican the opposing side told everyone “right wing” is Republican. So Republican had to either disavow or defend them, but when these groups wanted to act politically they had almost no choice but to fit in predefined parties.

Its been mostly good, that’s the crazy thing, gay rights, trans rights, police reforms, the DoJ has how many anti trust cases going on now?, how unions are forming?, etc

For real why are people so hyped about having less software built by people principled in protecting their freedoms?

GNU and the FSF are awesome!

I voted against him in the primaries and push for ranked choice voting. Unfortunately besides general unrest which will pressure biden but bolster Trump (who is NOW campaigning on crushing us for protesting the state of the war) we are acting too little too late. Maybe general unrest AFTER the election and if cooler heads don’t prevail might actually help.

Trump is also choosing genocide because he can hope for people like you not to vote against him.

K3s! You could even reuse your pis in the cluster.

I would deploy it to your new server, setup your CSI (e.g longhorn its pretty simple), find a helm chart for one of the apps and try deploying it.

Mindistry is a best in class game that is FOSS

We aren’t better than most of the people in the past, we just have better systems thanks to the insane amount of hardwork people put in to make it better and easier to act more ethically (in large).

Like it never made sense that people can just imagine people in the past being inexplicably worse then ourselves today.
