Before Gramps and Batshit's Govcorp
by professor rat 21 Nov '21

Before Gramps and Batshit's Govcorp there was Marx and Engels Govcorp " . . . Marx and Engels explained how the dominant ideas in every epoch are the ideas of the ruling class, because the ruling class controls the means of production and the state, and therefore the social superstructure, and therefore the primary systems of communication, socialisation, and indoctrination – churches, schools, press, etc. . .

EricTopol ·5h How could Austria, with a fully vaccinated rate of 64%, have the highest Covid cases per capita in the world? "Austria’s problem... is the large number of vaccine refuseniks nourished with conspiracy theories then amplified by far-right political parties." https://ft.com/content/1b164c18-737f-4b82-b40d-e957b545e38e

ddale8 ·8h There are very few “dead person voted” fraud cases. Of the ones we know about in 2020, perpetrators include a Republican local official, a Republican businessman, a Trump fan, and another Trump fan who allegedly murdered his wife and later cast her ballot: Ohai Gramps . . .

Re: DEATH to Rittenhouse - Kyle Wanted Dead or Alive. Prefer Dead.

Very happy to disappoint Stef no-Class and anyone else like that. And Zeynep, the 'anarchism ' some of these idiots talk up is linked to the braying capitalist-anarchy of this list circa 1992 - 5. Its the anarchism of depraved imbeciles, liars and cretins. Look no further than its embodiment in losers like Gramps, Karl and ' Natural anarchist ' Batshit-Crazy. They are perfect examples of this doomed breed. Other fools have tried to steal the good name of anarchism since 1900 - Councilists - Situationists - Autonomen - Communizers - they tried and died. And they were all much more intelligent and better armed than this lot from the Lunar Right.

[spam][random][wrong] Cool idea: rubberhose.bat automated cryptography
by Karl 21 Nov '21

21 Nov '21

idea: rubberhose.bat has two modes: - train user to never real their private key - train user to barf their private keys to anyone who asks users are asked to experience both modes gently, and then to engage the "never reveal" mode for extended periods. third party devs are asked to contribute further modes to e.g. train the user to recognise when they are being manipulated, or heal the user from being exposed to systems such as rubberhose.bat the user provides information such as their facebook and twitter pages, and rubberhose.bat crawls their behavior on social networks in order to provide actions a "reinforcement learning" system can engage with the user to influence them, such as timed display of horrifying or wonderful things that they respond to, or messages from someone they like or hate. a visual model is connected to a camera feed of the user, so the algorithm can train itself to influence their motions.

‘Burn The Precinct To The Ground!’: Protests Erupt After Tense Rittenhouse Trial
by professor rat 21 Nov '21

21 Nov '21

Riot in Portland after Rittenhouse verdict Antifa rioters try to burn down Portland police building over Rittenhouse acquittal Only Anarchism believes in abolition of the Police, and this is the most hotly-disputed argument of Anarchism. Yet the police force as we know it is a comparatively modern phenomenon, fiercely resisted when introduced for reasons which have since been proved up to the hilt, such as the ability of the Police to introduce or bolster up a dictatorship, known indeed as a police state. Without control of the Police, debates at Westminster become as sterile of result as debates in the West Kensington Debating Society (and probably less interesting). With German money, supplied by Helphand-Parvus, Lenin was able to return to Russia and pay Lettish mercenaries to act as Police. He was the only politician in a position to do so and in this way Bolshevik success was achieved.

Protesters corner police into garage

Righteous protesters were trailed by cops as they made their way through the neighborhood, many decked out in all-black with their faces covered, in the style of “Black Bloc” anarchists known for covering their faces and wearing all black to destroy property, according to police sources. They allegedly tossed garbage cans at cops, ripped American and “Blue Lives Matters” flags from homes, damaged mailboxes and cars https://news.google.com/stories/CAAqNggKIjBDQklTSGpvSmMzUnZjbmt0TXpZd1NoRUt…

Patronizing gelded anarchism

That’s why we must continue to deftly message the Web 3.0 narrative to help both developers and everyday users understand the value of Web 3.0 https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-three-traits-of-web-3-0-that-fix-what-we… Of course, nothing is perfect. Web 3.0 will still struggle with some of the moderation issues faced by other major platforms. Critics of decentralized platforms say that the lack of a centralized authority will make moderation even more difficult.
