Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

Anarchist/libsoc. If we’re stuck with a government, it should use its taxes for healthcare and education, not murdering.

  • Android may be created by an advertising company but they also give you the ability to run whatever OS you want and strip it of Google’s proprietary software completely. These days you can install OS like Graphene by simply plugging in your phone and clicking buttons in your browser.

    That’s like saying since computers come with Windows pre-installed, Microsoft gave you the ability to install Linux. Computers are agnostic to what runs on them, they’re inherently neutral unless made on the deeper level to prohibit side loading. Like a lot of Androids and all iPhones do.





  • The fact that I have to do combersome, confusing registry edits for simple changes on Windows sucks shit. I don’t think I’ve ever once intuitively known where to change something, or the way to do it once.

    But it’s normalized for the people who have to go find the one fine site out of dozens that will steal your info because they’re afraid of learning something new in an era of ensuring no one learns new useful skills so it can be sold back to you.








  • From a personal musing from my discord server with friends:

    I think I kinda personally hate how everyone blames everything bad on Putin/Russia, ignoring the decades of national born Americans who were fascists and laid the groundwork for this.

    Steve Bannon is American. Peter Thiel is American. Bush is American. Reagan. Nixon. There are countless more rich and politicians who enabled and wanted this who are American, not any other nationality or ethnicity.

    Putin is a dickhead but I don’t think we can blame every small thing Republicans/conservatives have wanted and gotten since the 1960s on one man half way around the world.

    It feels like deflecting blame to an “other” to ignore how liberal democracy enabled the slow rising tide of fascism because it was better for profits than treating people with dignity or rights.
