There’s a language field in the database to map the language too. The fact that there are only english-speaking communities is a temporary focus, because they allow to reach a broader target, but submissions in other languages are more than welcome. I’m actually not based in an English-speaking country and I’m not a native speaker, so for my own stuff I will eventually start contributing by mapping other spaces.

Me, 404media or Zuckerberg?

Vintage Story in solo, but I gave up because it’s too cumbersome to play without a team. Necesse with a team, lol. Mechabellum in solo multi AoW4 as a filler

Do you ever make things harder for people around you intentionally? If so, why? If not, why do you think do that against you?

are you familiar with left-wing blockchain and that whole strand of research or you just talk because you have no clue about the fact that there’s always been plenty of anti-capitalist and post-capitalist in the blockchain scene?

Have you watched the video or just stopped at the title?

There’s a lot of lefitsts spaces in the blockchain. While they are minoritarian, they have a distinct political agenda and set of values, separate from most of the web3 world. They either envision the usage of blockchain for local economies (an evolution of circular economy and local currencies that were popular in the 90’s and 2000s), or more global scale realignment of incentives, either through socialist market economies or more planning-oriented solutions.

because it’s in Latin (or Italian)…

I know people that occupied the offices. They were perfectly aware they would be fired and the people selected for the action were the least vulnerable economically, because retaliation was certain. Anything else is journalistic spin.

you use “luddite” as if it’s an insult. History proved luddites were right in their demands and they were fighting the good fight.

we do, and anybody telling you “it’s complicated” has an agenda.

Please yankee, don’t make everything happening in the world about you

I have a few. I’m not the kind of person that says controversial things to attract attention, but I also don’t refrain from putting them out there.

A selection of the ones I use in my political activity:

• knowing things doesn’t change things
• work should be abolished
• atheism and rationalism are a scourge on the ability of the Left to reach people
• hacker culture is intrinsically gnostic and reactionary

Some others:

• suicidal and self-harming people should be listened to by understanding and validating the motivations behind their desire to hurt or kill themselves, even entertaining with them their own plans. Anything else would likely put a wedge between the two of you that will prevent from addressing the causes and ultimately do what’s good for them.
• mathematics is just narrative with rules/arbitrary opinions with rules
• nurses, doctors, teachers and other professions of care attract the worst psychopaths because they are put in charge of vulnerable people. On top of that they are by default perceived as caregivers, so it’s harder for them to raise suspicion of doing fucked up stuff.

Edit: people down voting in a thread about controversial opinions must be very very intelligent

We: Italians, Spanish, Greeks, Arabs, Turks, Vietnamese, South Asians, Japanese.

Barbarians: everybody else, especially the French

You clearly haven’t met a Southern European. We divide the world in civilized ass washers and uncivilized smelly barbarians

I use Notion+Notion Calendar for this and I delegate to it a lot of stuff: bureaucracy, booking the barber, changing the bedsheets, all my work, birthdays, etc etc. How can people trust their brain with more than two or three items is unfathomable to me. I mean, when I was younger I could keep in mind a dozens upcoming appointments and go through them every few hours to make sure I wouldn’t miss anything, but as soon as your routine is disturbed by work stuff, it’s impossible.

you have no fucking clue how brittle systems like electronics production, or oil supply are. USA, from a systemic point of view, is the most coupled and fragile production system in the world except maybe some micro-nation in the middle of the ocean.

Months? You clearly haven’t tried Pyanodons.

Jokes aside, yeah, it would be a killer.

nah, you will attract only those that already kinda agree. All the others will see weirdos with weird ideas, weird clothing and weird vocabulary, approaching them in the street or promoting events that they don’t care about.

“talking to people” is something I do since I’m in union organizing and the way people react to the same arguments varies wildly over time. After the waves of layoffs in the tech sector, non-politicized tech workers are incredibly more receptive to pro-union rhetoric, in a way that would have been impossible before.

About accelerationism: I’m not saying failing an election is a necessary step in a teleological sense. You should enter elections to win them, if you do it. Nonetheless it is useful to radicalize people. It is a recuperation of what is perceived as a defeat in a system in order to feed a different system. Electoral betrayal is useful, but not necessarily something you should strive for, as an armchair accelerationist would claim. There are better ways to spend your time and energy imho, but if it happens, it is still good manure for growing the seeds of something new.

leftist might be a bit derogatory, but it’s not really an insult, come on.
