@ohmu @Kierkegaanks

some #nonvoters are #rightWing turds too

we see the #toxicIdealism on the #left, the "it's not perfect so i won't #vote" because we're on #mastodon and in other social silos on the left, which amplifies our impression

still, it's a lot of people like that, enough to make a difference

which is why some of these toxic idealism voices we see are just #geopolitical #trollFarm #psyop, cosplaying their fake #leftWing bonafides and working hard to suppress the vote on the left

Back at the very beginning of January I mentioned¹ I'd stumbled across Han Hogan, one half of the artist duo "Namaco" behind "Mega Dreoilín"², considered by one critic as:

...one of the best Irish artworks of 2024 so far... incredibly engaging, brilliantly designed, sophisticated in its form and execution, and unexpectedly moving.

"Mega Dreoilín" is still on display at the Museum of Literature Ireland³.

Han is a dynamo! She's been working with Donal on a new artwork/game/commentary:

...a video game about the Irish economy: why we have found ourselves here and where to go next. Specifically it looks at the idea of neocolonialism by multinationals who don’t pay taxes etc - and the wider effects on people’s lived reality in Ireland.

This work will be part of a group exhibition, "Liquid Urbanisms"⁴, at the Lab Gallery in Dublin city centre from Friday 14 March to Thursday 24 April 2025.

OldBytes Space - MastodonAmin Girasol (@fluidlogic@oldbytes.space)Attached: 2 images Most intriguing conversation unfolding at https://touch.adverts.ie/other-computers/computers/35853721 > So I’m part a video game making duo, our next exhibition is in the Lab gallery from March. It’s a video game about the Irish economy, why we have found ourselves here, and where to go next. Specifically it looks at the idea of neocolonialism by multinationals who don’t pay taxes etc - and the wider effects on people’s lived reality in Ireland. We currently have a video game called Mega Dreoilín which is in the museum of literature for the next few months. Anyway I need these for the ‘set’ that I’m building up for the video game, it’s going to be the bedroom of a 90s hacker, they type of person who would have set up Pirate Bay etc. I can guarantee that I’ll give this to you after. But if you don’t want to go down that route then it’s fair enough if we continue the bidding.

President #DonaldTrump is on the #WarPath again, this time railing against the #media and publishers whose stories he doesn’t like.

#Trump took to his platform #TruthSocial ( aka the #MinistryOfPropaganda ) to suggest that any negative #press is a result of #LeftWing media attacking him for the “Best Opening Month” of presidency the U.S. has ever seen.

The Daily Beast · Trump Threatens to Sue the Media Over Stories He Doesn’t LikeBy Leigh Kimmins

Literally, just before I clicked on the video, I was wondering when the #Trump regime would get around to real-deal #dictator #persecution. So, when is the rebellion? Never. The #American public are doing nothing and will continue to do nothing. Just like the spineless, useless #Democrats. #MAGA are all on board. Google WILL de-platform #leftwing #YouTubers. It’s not a matter of if, but when.

"If the #liberalleft are going to get back on the front foot it will require a much more deliberate approach to meeting people where they are, and engaging with the old-fashioned work of persuasion, rather than expecting people to be on board with #socialchange from the outset.”

The Guardian · Leftwing activists less likely to work with political rivals than other UK groups, study findsBy Kiran Stacey

THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO CONCERNING THE #ECONOMY #jobs NO MATTER THE #GOV #inequality WILL KILL THE #ECONOMY:

#garyseconomics stop with the #red (#republican #rightwing) vs #blue (#democrats #liberals #leftwing) #bullshit: the real problem is #inequality and over decades no #government has significantly addressed or fixed this ever growing problem = #trump will #fail on the #economy, #starmer will #fail on the #economy because they do not want to touch the #rich #wealthy, #taxtherich or create a completely #newsystem that works for the 99%!!! (BEFORE the #RICH START ANOTHER #WORLDWAR!) state your #demands or you and your children will get #poor and #poor and #poorer and yes they might create #war to keep you fighting for #survival, so #teamup #organize #risupe and come up with new innovative way (have some ideas, can anyone #help?)

youtube.com/watch?v=XCnImxVWbvc (ok admitted it's taff to educate #notsobright #rightwingers)

I swear, LEFT WING news headlines are so annoying...

"FINALLY, TRUMP LEARNS A HARD LESSON"

Trump didn't learn shit. What the hell bullshit is...

"YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT TRUMP JUST SAID"

Bet I would. Does it have something to do with 'DEI' ?

"TEN THINGS TRUMP COULD DO TO HELP AMERICANS"

Is 'DIE' on that list? Is 'RESIGN IN SHAME' on the list?

"TRUMP'S LATEST CABINET PICK WILL SHOCK YOU"

Doubt it. Is it Kid Rock? Kevin Sorbo, Hannity? Bernie would shock me.

🙄

Continued thread

Want american Democrats to ACTUALLY DO something already?

(Update: indivisible.org/ )

Consider Direct Action instead!
But as well as that, we *do* need a non-corrupt (yet! there's always time, ofc) replacement party that is ACTUALLY left-wing.

Tea Party and MAGA supporters did it. Don't follow their strategies completely, but DO LEARN FROM them.
We all deserve better -- even the Leopards Eating People's Faces party.

How many of them would have supported having their faces eaten if they KNEW it wasn't hyperbole or something?
Or if they took time to imagine and plan for the risks: their or loved ones' faces being eaten by leopards?

Prompt and Push. No one more than anyone. Punch Fascists. Tolerate No Intolerance. Ideal Outcomes.

These all feel like mottos or mission statements more than names, but eh. Hopefully this inspires someone. -- oh my god:

NOT DEM.

back when Blizzard censored an eSports player for mentioning or holding a flag or something?

I have this thought for some time and now I need some questions answered.

I noticed that quite often good ideas like #foss #privacy #sustainability and others develop features of a religion, in particular in the form of blaming and pointing fingers inside the community on everyone who is "not ... enough".

I'm looking for a proper term to popularize and normalize the idea that doing little is better than doing nothing.

Käänne ("Overturn") festival in Helsinki: Clara Mattei's talk "#Austerity, economic #elites and the rise of #fascism" with Li Andersson (Left Alliance) commenting.

Mattei: austerity is about reinforcing class relations needed for capital accumulatiin and the benefit of the few.

The talk is based on Mattei's book "The Capital Order".

press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/b

In addition to this talk being very good, the whole festival has been an inspiring event where the left (broadly understood) seeks to frame the discussion and questions instead of just reacting to austerity, rise of nationalism and far-right shift.
