Good summary. The worst we have IDF on is hitting the wrong targets while the Palestinians used them as human shields.

Dear European based LGBTIQ+ people.. (so basically everybody).

Today I attended an event in #Amsterdam organized by @waag @DeGroene @gemeenteamsterdam and the #oBa Amsterdam public library called #StateOfTheInternet

Featured speaker this time was Euro Member of Parliament @kimvsparrentak who passionately spoke on the need for a more free Internet detached from #bigTech and more focussed on #Democracy and real #Social interaction.

When confronted with her presence on X and Insta, and the lack of active presence here on the #Fediverse we promised to help her.

Please help us get a decent follower-base here and follow her account right now, before she even gets a chance to get more active. A follower base of more than a 1000 people will surely help her convince her party members to spend time and money on a real presence here.

I used a cut out of the image posted by @sicco in this post: https://todon.nl/@sicco/112372340250592627 thank you for that Sicco.

Then why do these politicians write laws that incentivize centralized monopolies?

Oh right, the voters wanted it.

@koen @kimvsparrentak @fabio @gemeenteamsterdam @DeGroene @sicco @waag

I wish you luck, but I suggest that unlike most politicians, instead of top-down methods prohibitions you look at incentive structures.

AnCap is another Utopian idea like egalitarianism.

Minarchism is great, but tiered hierarchy more realistic.

And without unions, good workers get paid more and the slackers who cost everyone else money get paid less or BTFO.

Maybe, but if communism converges to these two cases with the same result, it seems to be from the same error in thinking.

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #ECOWAS #WestAfrica #DMV For folks in the DMV who are interested in the political/economic reasons for much of the chaos in West Africa (Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso), you have to know about the currency imposed upon them by the French at independence. This film is fantastic. Saw it during the New African Film Fest and there is a special showing April 8 at Sankofa book store in DC. Q&A with the director:

What do corporate board conversations about executive pay sound like? Do they really think that at the top they have to pay more to make the business run better, but that paying less makes perfect sense for all lower level employees? Or then what's with the lack of competition for the CEO jobs?

@wjmaggos @JeffC1956

This is how the rich and powerful get rich and powerful: once they get into government, they can do favors for industry, and then take positions on various boards and rake in the dough.

@freeschool @wjmaggos @JeffC1956

I tend to be really skeptical of any theory based on mass enlightenment, e.g. everyone wakes up tomorrow and is a Christian, humanitarian, or libertarian.

People do what rewards them more than other things, contingent on their knowledge.

I think we could do a lot more with dialogue, but it has to be bottom up... we need people able to handle all viewpoints before we try to bring politics into it!

amerika,
@amerika@annihilation.social avatar

@freeschool @wjmaggos @JeffC1956

In my simple mindset, I think we need culture: this creates the meeting place and public space of actual discussion.

That is the hippie side. The monarchist side also realizes that leaving things up to the bourgeois herd always results in the same answer, i.e. pave over the problem and go chase some illusory symbols somewhere else.

As far as "it's all politics," I must wax Nietzschean... no, it's all about power. This is a proxy for something else but Tolkien was right when he translated human intentions to a "will to power" as Nietzsche did.

@freeschool @wjmaggos @JeffC1956

IMHO politics is a way of managing power.

Sorry for the short responses; the is a scroller so it's not good for in-depth discussion (no persistence).

I'm switching to windows 11.
Can anyone recommend some good apps to start out with?
I'm looking forward to all the great software people say I've been missing out on as a linux user.

Uh... and Doom
