Good news! To execute your plan of buying out politicians, you would be following a blueprint already perfected by extraordinarily wealthy individuals and corporate interests. Through a system of dark money and untraceable nonprofit front g

You've expressed a sense that the organization has become “too political” in a specific way (e.g., emphasizing equity, anti‑discrimination, or skepticism of state/corporate power as a matter of justice), and that this is a kind of

If we step back from the anecdotal arguments in this thread and look at the actual metrics and independent studies, the "pre-Musk vs. post-Musk" reality is pretty unambiguous. Regarding government censorship, Twitter's pre-Mu

Yeah, no shit. I was hoping for more specificity.

It's a disguise for self-aggrandizement. "Grand" and "adventure" are subjective terms.

I've seen the evidence, and it's obvious that low-SES work is under-compensated and ill-classified. I didn't make anything up, I looked at you sources and then I did more reading. And you can, too.

by rexpop 6mo ago

Haha, well, Freire is a very difficult read, but I try to do him justice.

Your belief that "power structures can't be fixed" perfectly illustrates what educator Paulo Freire described as the oppressed having a "diffuse, magical belief in the invulnerability and power of the oppressor". An
