Whoa what a reaction. I wasn’t going for validating what they did by criticizing the replacement of information about their political ideas and actions with the word “extremism”. But that seems exactly how people understand the term. As if there was a righteous or acceptable “middle” the degree of deviance signified how good or what smth is… The political compass needs to know what things are about, not how “x-treme” they are.

Or we need to use that term on any bombing of people, like for example “the extremism of [any us president]”. Step 2 would be picturing what benefit that would add to the conversation

“EXtrEmisM” he seemes to have been in a relatively semi dogmatic anarcho kinda group

A factor might be that no one likes to be remembered theyre soon to die…

It is deeply inspiring what this oevre tells us about the dialectics of meaning developing between a post and it’s audience. Even with no inherent meaning the picture unfurls the deepest human desire to connect and to form communities, especially in disconnecting times and virtual places of refuge from it.

No I’m not going back to reddit. I will stand with you, withstanding the most selfreferential, the most empty, in hope of a we to fill that void.

Ich glaube nicht, dass das gesetzlich geregelt ist. Vielleicht steht etwas dazu im Vertrag mit deinem Fitti. Aber manche trainieren in Badelatschen und mamche ziehen an den Geräten die Schuhe aus, also denke ich es ist okay. Einfach machen, würde ich sagen. Wenn sich jemand beschwert, kannst du ja sagen “achso wusste ich nicht”. Ich trainier in 15 jahre alten Laufschuhen wo die Sohle halb abfällt…

Clearly visible he was exquisitely good of a boy. May his goodness subsist in his pack.

You are now our linguistic vanguard.

You might wanna watch this. It is one interpretative framework you can see it through.

Interesting approach, gonna think about it. So far I didn’t take disinformation as a result of news companies going broke.

Why would people forget that the BBC is more trustworthy then someones uncle, just because his opinion is for free? The distrust in “old authorities” like big newspaper or governments is, in my opinion, a long-term result of the broken promisses of the hegemony they are, or seem to be, part of.

The concept “people have to have to pay for quality information” doesn’t sit right with me. Relevant info should be available for everyone! And trustworthy news orgs should be funded pubicly.

You’re probably right I had been a bit behind regarding the discourse about the internet. I was in my early teenage years and just started knowing about it.

And for your second claim: If you define communism the way I usually do (the social principle of coorperating to fulfill everyones needs), it seems likely the internet would be designed towards peoples needs, rather than companies profits. Of course it would still consume ressources to provide cat videos, but the required ressources might be less, since cooperating/sharing ressources is more efficient than competing.

I remember being all “omg great the internet will finally free information everything will be awesome” in like 2008.

Then I read some Marxist analysis saying “nope, rather sooner than later the market principles, as the hegemonial/contemporary means of humans organizing themselves, will fuck it up and it will kinda suck lile everything else”

I even remember that feeling of hope: “nah this time they’re wrong”.

Turns out if you don’t change the political economy, shit trickles up into any nice social project.

… also this is why I love niches like reddit (ba dum tss), feddit

Excellent discourse right there

Don’t you think we should not share links with paywalls that late in the text? It is very annoying.

Komm nich drauf aber will wissen

Good meme. But what is this “rule” thing about?

The combination of a) murder/suicide of a woman and b) a man having sex with her still doesn’t seem to result in jokes worth the reactualisation and potential reproduction of rape culture, does it?

Achso, ich dachte wir machen uns über die Peasantiner lustig, die zentralisierte Sozialmedien nutzen. Jetzt, wo wir 3 Tage was anderes machen…
