       @lynnesbian I just updated an Arch machine that I had off for over a year. That was a fun upgrade.

       @BestGirlGrace Ska was involved in the wars over punk. There are ska bands like Skrewdriver which were very fascist.

       I was going to get involved in the discourse but instead I will share this from the Xenofeminism Manifesto."If 'cyberspace' once offered the promise of escaping the strictures of essentialist identity categories, the climate of contemporary social media has swung forcefully in the other direction, and has become a theatre where these prostrations to identity are performed. With these curatorial practices come puritanical rituals of moral maintenance, and these stages are too often overrun with the disavowed pleasures of accusation, shaming, and denunciation. Valuable platforms for connection, organization, and skill-sharing become clogged with obstacles to productive debate positioned as if they are debate. These puritanical politics of shame–which fetishize oppression as if it were a blessing, and cloud the waters in moralistic frenzies–leave us cold. We want neither clean hands nor beautiful souls, neither virtue nor terror. We want superior forms of corruption."

       Or to pull out some of this dense academic language: we spend so much time trying to make sure that we are all being so pure instead of fighting against the actually important things.Contrapoints, 4Lung, Dogpatch Press, ... are doing more good than less. We can't be doing a circular firing squad, especially not now.

       @millenomi Then as individuals in the network, we must do better. Or build systems that avoid that.

       @hierarchon @millenomi There is work by the cybernetics people to allow people to speak in large groups and get over the human cognitive issues. But there has not been much implementation of that work.
