I was agreeing with you and stating that the original group doing the “natural” thing were philosophically incorrect but I still appreciate the gesture of their support :p

I’m a trans transhumanist and agree. Though actually iirc there is evidence of animals experiencing some of this stuff even if they often lack the sociocognitotechnological structures to act upon it.

But my opinion is that “nature” (as much as that is even coherent as a concept which is questionable imo, youd really want to be going into specific systems) itself is fundamentally coercive.

I consider “nature” itself to be transphobic in structure (even if it is not sentient or has intent, once you can criticise systems for their construction why not criticise systems that are not human created such as biophysical systems nya). That is, the very construction of major parts of my biology - along also with social systems which have a major component - deprive me of autonomy and self determination. For me, as a trans enby who wants and has obtained hrt, then, I have used technological means to seize my agency ^.^. I’m not just talking abojt trans stuff here but yeah :p

Imo we must tear down this idea that “nature” is something just or good at all or any sort of model for how things should be. Thats not to aay engage in ecological destruction which is a different issue (I won’t go into that now but “don’t accept nature as it exists and be willing to radically alter or overthrow its tyranny” is not the same as “burn down all the forests/release CO2 and mindlessly destroy all the complex and interesting ecosystems that exist and that we also currently need for agriculture, just for short term profits, often even when better options exist”).

On the other hand, I do appreciate the gesture of support and solidarity for what it is. Even if philosophically I consider it incorrect.

I hate bioreactionaries I hate bioreactionaries I hate bioreactionaries I hate bioreactionaries I hate bioreactionaries.

In addition, he was also transphobic and opposed to bodily self-determination as well nya: https://apnews.com/article/vatican-gender-surrogacy-abortion-pope-3f84d8eb97f045b0cfb0ec1efa4e614e

Every accusation by fascists really is an admission, huh.

The one time there actually was a “masonic shadow government” it was a fascist far right group. Lmao :p

Appeasing fascists doesn’t work.

Extremely, iirc. According to wikipedia:

It is extremely contagious: nine out of ten people who are not immune and share living space with an infected person will be infected.[5] Furthermore, measles’s reproductive number estimates vary beyond the frequently cited range of 12 to 18,[17] with a 2017 review giving a range of 3.7 to 203.3

For context the reproductive number (average number of unexposed people a carrier will infect) of the most virulent strains of COVID-19 is 3-8. See: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35262737/ (basic vs effective rate refers to the infectiveness in a naive population vs one which is taking measures and/or has immunity).

This is also all exponential so small increases in R number have big impacts nya.

Oeganise, organise, organise!

Talk to like-minded people, offline and online. Form affinity groups and friend groups (perhaps one and the same :p), learn information security (everyone should do this), organise mutual aid for things like housing and such (think underground railroad), learn graphic design to produce leaflets, archive vital information, and learn community defense. Don’t let the shock tactics prevent you from acting!

It doesnt have to be everything, cooperation allows different people to contribute their own skills, and communities can support each other through the perfectly valid terror to keep surviving and resisting in all the ways.

Good luck!

Don’t gaslight us. It was a nazi salute. And being autistic doesn’t make you do Nazi salutes, we were fucking murdered by Nazis too.

Never let the nazis gaslight you or certain american media channels try to pan away and deemphasise what he did in their footage. If anyone tries to claim this was not a nazi salute, just point them to this few-seconds-long comparison video, maybe download with yt-dlp (cw: nazis doing nazi stuff like chanting) nya.

Also I’m autistic and nazi salutes are not stimming or simple social difference or whatever.

Stims are usually repetitive and/or simple motions or behaviours or similar (e.g. I stim by jumping up and down or repeating phrases or spinning my arms in circles, sometimes from happiness and sometimes as a way to regulate emotions), and not a complex deliberate action. That salute was a deliberate and non-repetitive action. I could see the bit at the start where he walks around and moves his arms up and down repeatedly being a stim, but the other stuff? And specifically the nazi salute? No.

Plus autistic people are not on the whole less capable of understanding ethics^1 or empathising (though we may have trouble reading non-autistic social cues or emotional states and thought processes, but if we understand what someone is feeling we experience empathy, though of course there are variations on that just like with non-autistic people, if you want to know more just look up the double empathy problem :p). He knows what he was doing.

I’m sick of people (usually bad faith actors of course but still) blaming this shit on autisticness and autistic people. Its like people think that being autistic just means being a dick and not caring about other people (of course, there are plenty of dickish autistic people just like there are of any other group of people nya). And its especially disgusting given that Nazis attempted to genocide us.

I do understand that not everyone understands autism very well but come on… its such bullshit <.<

1: some studies suggest autistic people are actually more likely to follow their own sense of ethics even without social pressure when it would benefit them to break it, though these kinds of tests are done in very limited circumstances and I’ve not really looked at them in that much detail

It’s a convenient file transfer/sync tool. Copying data has to happen somehow, I’m not surprised someone thought to use syncthing for that purpose >.<, since it can do that. But its not really different than any other tool here.

That’s pretty awesome ngl :p

Power being priced negative is awesome. We need more of it imo, make energy so abundant that it makes processes that were previously too energy-intensive viable, and enables a massive increase in both residential and grid storage capacity.

My opinion is that Na-ion batteries are the way for bulk grid storage and apartment/home storage nya.

They use hyper abundant materials and are now reaching the point of decent endurance, and if you arent bothered by them being heavy (as is the case for grid and residential storage), they’re fairly comparable to Li-Ion without the usage of relatively rare Lithium.

Abolish borders lol

Breitbart? Really?

Most anti copyright people I see (including me) hate those kinds of laws lol

The link is to a court filing with the UN.

And its not just the actions, its the statements by Israeli figures, which aren’t related to the PA/are easily externally verifiable.

They clearly demonstrate intent and action for genocide, and the most significant aspects like razing half of Gaza to the ground, bombing “”“safe zones”“” (which are already essentially force mass migration, and what about people who cant evacuate), preventing even the most basic access to food, water, electricity, healthcare, etc. are easy to see.

If you want more named sources, perhaps consider that Israel apparently loves to prevent journalistic entry and also bomb journalists in Gaza <.<

And we all know what Israel’s statements are. “Everything is a Hamas base, so lets use masses of high yield bombs in highly urbanised areas while deliberately bombing the zones we pretended were safe, and our officials cheer on mass slaughter of civilians while claiming no person in Gaza can be considered a civilian and comparing them to animals or filth to be removed”

Honestly I’d just read South Africa’s court filing with the International Criminal Court (yes I know they’re hypocrites due to lukewarm attitudes to Putin’s actions but it doesnt change the facts in the specific case): https://www.icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/case-related/192/192-20240112-pre-01-00-en.pdf

You dont have to read all of it. Even scrolling and just stopping randomly comes up with sone of the most horrific shit the government of Israel is doing and the stuff high level administrators have advocated for and said.

If you think the “human animals” comments and policies are bad, it gets so much fucking worse :/

meirl

Oh not this fucking bullshit again. Urghhh
