quote / critique - it is upon us, beyond our power to alter, and therefore to be accepted and made the best of. It is a waste of time to criticize the inevitable. - Andrew Carnegie - The Gospel of Wealth - This is a defeatist attitude that does not look for a condition where both enormous inequality AND universal squalor can both eliminated - Today, there are a growing number of alternative ideas which can challenge this claim such as: - Cooperatives - example - Mondragon corporation with 70,000 employees - B Corporations - Fair Share Commons - Peer to Peer - Worker owned companies - Cosmolocal organizations - Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)

Why is it called gems.rb instead of Gemfile? I do like that it has an .rb extension.

Ich wurde von Pro7 interviewt & DAS ist passiert…

2:37 "neutrale medien" - nur tote menschen sind neutral, alles leben hat vorurteile = bias.<br /> "rechtsextrem oder rechtsradikal" - nein, wirklich "rechtsextreme" meinungen<br /> werden aggressiv wegzensiert, auch über den vorwurf "verrückt und gefährlich" = §63 StGB.<br /> das ganze system / regime / imperium ist "radikal gegen naturordnung",<br /> und ich bin ein staatsfeind weil ich "radikal für naturordnung" schreibe und rede.<br /> das ganze system baut auf radikale lügen, und wahrsager sind "kriminelle". das geht schon lange so.

3:06 mit seiner juden-nase würd ich auch rumheulen,<br /> dass mein politischer gegner ein "antisemit" ist.<br /> die chabad-lubavitch "juden" wollen halt wirklich eine unfehlbare herrenrasse sein...<br /> mal sehn, wann der "Mashiach ben David" kommt und welchen scheiss der "verkündet",<br /> ausser dass die sklaven sich an noah's gesetze (sklavenmoral) halten müssen, oder sterben.<br /> (Tilman Knechtel, Wolfgang Eggert, Gerhard Wisnewski, Express Zeitung, Compact Magazin, ...)

"dass du 9/11 in frage stellst"<br /> seriously? dieser klugscheisser glaubt ernsthaft an die offizielle version von 9/11?<br /> vermutlich glaubt der ALLES, was ihm seine vorbeter (staatliche lehrer) erzählen,<br /> auch sowas wie "kiffen macht verrückt" oder "LSD macht verrückt". kann ich nicht ernst nehmen.

3:34 "die anderen sprecher wollen nichts mit der rechten ecke verbunden werden"<br /> höchstens deswegen, weil die mainstream-hetzer alle "rechten" kriminalisieren.<br /> aber das sagt er nicht dazu, weil er ist hier ein täter, oder "neutral" wie er sagen würde.

4:18 "wie viel macht misst du dem wort bei?"<br /> idioten (also emos) lassen sich triggern durch stichworte wie "nazi" oder "antisemit".<br /> diese leute sind wirklich hirntote opfer, denen reicht so ein "befehl", und das hirn schaltet sich aus.<br /> "fear the power of stupid people" oder so.<br /> deswegen soft power: der öffentlichkeit schöne lügen erzählen, und unterbewusst manipulieren.

6:15 ich als "rechtsextremer" sage: das "recht auf leben" ist grundsätzlich falsch.<br /> also "in meiner welt" ist jede form von mord "legal", besser gesagt: legitim = naturrecht-konform.

7:05 "politische veranstaltung oder christlich-religiöse veranstaltung?"<br /> jede religion ist für idioten, die einzige wahrheit ist nihilismus = alles wird sterben.<br /> religion (also lügen) ist ein nützliches tool für herrscher, zum ausbeuten von sklaven = soft power.

8:00 "wo ordnest du dich politisch zu?"<br /> gar nicht. ich bin einzelgänger, weil jede gruppe ist scheisse.<br /> meine "naturordnung" (kommunismus und kapitalismus) funktioniert nur in kleinen gruppen<br /> (150 menschen, dunbars number),<br /> alle großen gruppen führen automatisch zu sozialismus und faschismus.

• podcast: Planet Critical

• host: Rachel Donald

• title: Overthrowing the Ruling Class: The Green Democratic Revolution

• summary

  • This is a very insightful interview with James Schneider, communications officer of Progressive International on the scales of political change required to advert our existential Poly / meta / meaning crisis.
  • James sees 3 levels of crisis
    • ordinary crisis emerging from a broken system
    • larger wicked problems that cannot be solved in isolation
    • the biggest umbrella crisis that covers all others - the last remaining decades of the fossil fuel system,
      • due to peak oil but accelerated by
      • climate crisis
  • There has to be a paradigm shift on governance, as the ruling elites are driving humanity off the cliff edge
  • This is not incremental change but a paradigm shift in governance
  • To do that, we have to adopt an anti-regime perspective, that is not reinforcing the current infective administrative state, otherwise, as COVID taught us, we will end up driving the masses to adopt hard right politicians
  • In order to establish the policies that are aligned to the science, the people and politicians have to be aligned.
  • Voting in candidates who champion policies aligned to science is a leverage point.
  • That can only be done if the citizenry is educated enough to vote for such politicians
  • So there are two parallel tasks to be done:
    • mass education program to educate citizens
    • mass program to encourage candidates aligned to climate science to run for political office

• for: climate crisis - elite control of mainstream media

Once a movement becomes mainstream it's no longer sortout by the masses.

This is an example of underground turned mainstream.

The rawness of the avant-garde's talent connects to the public better than a structured sortout slogan. It speaks the language of the public.

Basically the underground talent is too raw to be publicized on its own so it needs to be watered down to be acceptable to become mainstream.

Now, I've made a number of documentaries about fake news. And what interests me is the first person to use the phrase mainstream media was Joseph Goebbels. And he, in one of his propaganda sheets, said “It's very important that you don't read the mainstream media because they'll tell you lies.” You must read the truth by the ramblings of his boss and his associated work. And you do have to watch this. This is a very, very well-established technique of fascists, is to tell you, don't read this stuff, read our stuff.<br /> —Ian Hislop, Editor, Private Eye Magazine 00:16:00, Satire in the Age of Murdoch and Trump, The Problem with Jon Stewart Podcast

Sometimes art and ideas can be considered as less than what already is accepted, as a result of things becoming more simplified and easier, resulting these neglected or irrelevant ideas one day becoming crucial to the future.

This was a great statement because it sparks curiosity in how the world around us is greatly influenced by the past and this which can result in what can be considered "Theft" and copyright infringement when considering how simple it has become to succeed commercially.

See the really creative/fun example image above.

They spell it "27$/year" instead of "$27/year". I love it that they bucked the useless convention of putting $ sign first and did it the way that makes more sense. We've all had that thought, why do we say it "27 dollars" but write it, "dollars 27". It just doesn't make sense.

Good point. Better to store translations in your I18n backend in the same place as your subject translations, etc. (which by default is in YAML file).

"ReST" instead of "REST". I like how this way matches the case of the actual phrase that it's standing in for "Representational State Transfer", so you can better tell which letters are the beginning of words (all but "e").

Yes, and Alexander Hamilton was in favor of property requirements for voting, which prevented a large majority of people from voting. Here we have the Democrats saying we should make our selection of the U.S. President less democratic, less responsive to voters -- not more democratic.

I have fears Trump will be a bad President. But I don't like the incredible hypocrisy of those who slandered Trump for not agreeing to accept the results of the election, not only refusing to accept the result, but try to do so by -- not only overturning a tradition that is over a hundred years old -- but doing so in a manner that would make our selection of a president much less responsive to voters.
