bro says "I just want to discuss technology"
To illustrate 2. with some examples:
- discussing Google products that rely on datamining: just tech
- discussing privacy/the con side of datamining: politics
- discussing Palantir's cool software automation: just tech
- discussing software challenges in a global world with differing laws and human rights standards: ew politics
- discussing RMS's political views on software: just tech
- discussing gender problems in tech: politics
@year_2038 seems cool indeed! thanks

Ante la #EmergenciaClimática más de 300 organizaciones nos sumamos a la #HuelgaMundialPorElClima #27S con huelga estudiantil, de consumo y movilizaciones en la calle y centros de trabajo

@year_2038 and I think it's worth it taking these "human nature" arguments with a grain of salt. Are those backed by anthropological evidence? Otherwise, they can be just as easily attributed to culture (even if it's noticed across cultures - the whole "civilized" world is ingrained with western values), in which case we do have a choice
@year_2038 nope, will take a look!
@year_2038 I think maybe the choice of words sounds naïve (let's get rid of hierarchy!) but that the point (that power shouldn't have a rigid, contextless structure but a dynamic, contextual, fluid, adaptative one) quite compelling
I just found out about crimethinc.com and they're amazing: https://crimethinc.com/tce
Anything else I'm missing out on?
@unseelie loved it! thanks for the suggestion
@raye nice :)
@GreenandBlack amazing resources! thanks
@unseelie I'm not, generally 😆 but I'm interested enough on the matter to watch them, so thank you very much
@Ethancdavenport yeah, I ended up regretting the tone of this toot. It's more like "the single event that, if happened, would have the greatest impact on our political situation". I may delete it 😕
