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)

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.

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

Indeed the mainstream embraces almost anything edgy; although once the label is applied it is no longer on the edge.
Once a movement becomes mainstream it's no longer sortout by the masses.
-
emergence of other confrontational art and design movements, including Punk and Grunge, sought to unhinge dominant methods and mannerisms, but were ultimately absorbed into the mass culture.
This is an example of underground turned mainstream.
-
Despite its anti-establishment symbolism, Cubistic, Futuristic and Expressionistic veneers, he argued, would capture consumers’ attention better than a hundred slogans.
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.
-
Yet when an intrepid commercial artist attempted to push the boundaries of design, they had to be cognizant of what industrial designer Raymond Loewy called MAYA (Most Advanced Yet Acceptable).
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

Commercial culture depends on the theft of intellectual property for its livelihood.
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.

century that the archival discipline began flourishing and has continued since. It did so by borrowing from different fields: the debate between historians and archivists led to the affirmation of the historical method of analysis; the strong relationship with library science affected retrieval practices and theories; the first attempts to introduce mechanisation in public administration changed documentation processes; information science changed the relationship of archives with technology; social sciences questioned archival behaviour, processes, and policies; and post-modernism spurred a debate about archival identity and purposes. However, the core of archival knowledge dating back to Sumerian times has not changed, and neither has the body of concepts and principles that accrued around that core between the 16th and the 19th centuries, because the core has controlled the use of knowledge taken from other disciplines and shaped the outcome of interactions with them.

Yet most companies neglect design as a strategy tool. What they don’t realize is that design can enhance products, environments, communi-cations, and corporate identity.”
This is true because a Designer can communicate one's ideas in a clear and sensible way. Companies need design in order to get as many people to associate themselves with them.

Set your models free from the accepts_nested_attributes_for helper. Action Form provides an object-oriented approach to represent your forms by building a form object, rather than relying on Active Record internals for doing this.
It seems that the primary/only goal/purpose was to provide a better alternative to ActiveRecord's accepts_nested_attributes_for.
Unfortunately, this appears to be abandoned.

I went against the grain, applying other tools that people have written over the years to directly perform the job at hand which do not involve entering a program for awk or a shell to run, with answers like https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/574309/5132 and https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/578242/5132 . Others have done similar. https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/584274/5132 and https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/569600/5132 are (for examples) answers that show alternative tools to answers employing shell script and (yet again) awk programs, namely John A. Kunze's jot and rs (reshape), which have been around since 4.2BSD for goodness' sake!

there's no reasonable way to communicate effectively with the less technically minded without acquiescing to the nontechnical misuse of the term "hacker"
-
The more easily relabeled of the two uses of the term "hacker" is the malicious security cracker: it is not only the more recent phenomenon to acquire that label, but also the one whose meaning is most easily evoked by an alternative term. This is why, when you read an article of mine that talks about malicious security crackers, I use the term "malicious security cracker"

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.

Q. Why does Rubinius not support frozen and tainted? A. Rubinius has better features; frozen and tainted are considered harmful. To elaborate... Both frozen and tainted depend on strewing checks throughout the source code. As a classic weak-link system, only one of those checks needs to be misplaced for the guarantees offered by either to fail. Since the number of checks is high, and as new code is written new checks need to be considered, the features inherently constitute unbounded complexity and unbounded risk.

If you ever need to work with external translators, it’s a bit of a pain sending both your YML files and a bunch of views like index.en.html.erb. For one thing, you need some code to find all those files and send them, and put them back after receiving the translations. For another, your translator must respect the markup and code of the template, and know not to translate them. And if you want to use tools like WebTranslateIt, it’s easier to stick to YML.
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).

Alexander Hamilton’s writing in Federalist Paper No. 68, which states that the meeting of the electoral college “affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.”
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.
