Relevant for me; i nearly changed careers out of tech entirely – being fed up with the state of the industry – but found some great folks in worker cooperative spaces. Here’s what’s kept me optimistic:

Plucked a vid off this channel and let it be known the idea of the channel name is to “reject isms/be your own ism”
Solarpunk has replaced, for me, the plasteel+glass greenhouse skyscraper skylines. Afrofuturism offers a much better preconfiguration than anything of capitalist and anglo origins. Importantly, the dismantling of unjust heirarchies.
I never lost the optimism, i just recognized that the root cause of our pain is not going to be addressed by technnlology (new invention) without an equal-or-greater effort into decolonizing and unlearning on the part of those building, using and promoting a given technology.
Heh, foresaw you getting hung up on “liberation”
It’s not complicated nor is it this profound thing: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/16007006
It’s commisseration, really Can you just let some traumatized autisitic transfems (and others) have that?
No? Yes? Doesnt matter. Thats the point of the video, it’s not about you. Thats also part of the point of parody’ing incels (which as an aside: the concept of invcel was originally coined by a woman and was meant to be a supportive, all-gender, friendly place – before the right co-opted it.
No, i’m posting this for the next tranzqueer who comes along, who might [like I had] be unaware of these things and tend to gravitate to the Narrative of the Johns without reminders that there is so, so much more nuance, and meaning to be found in the world, beyond the limits of what is scripted, shot, edited, produced and published for the target audience composed of Stanleys & Johns.
So thanks for reading. I did not expect you to watch that whole video, but since you did, I hope your life will be enriched by the appreciation that creations, be they AAA titles or shitty memes, dont need to make sense to your perspective in order for them to have great value, both to marginalized audiences who benefit from seeing themselves humanized, but also to the rest, because in order to dehumanize someone else you first demhumanize a tiny part of yourself – and art can heal that, too.
When you’re accustomed to privilege, the liberation of others feels like oppression.

So yeah, you’re not coming off as defensive or entitled at all /s

My initial comment in this thread was in response to someone (maskenox?) conflating the two. (Neither of which i am fond of, to be abundantly clear)
Edit: also, yes? When i went and folded all the comments…ig your initial reply was also to the same comment? Even though the voyager app shows them as diff colors…yellow and orange…doesnt make it as obvious and it isnt clear when it indents and when not… 💀

On what morality is: This was a quick read about what enables dehumanization and mass atrocity, as relevant to both history and ongoing fascistic settler colonial imperialism.

" if you’re under retirement age and quit your job tomorrow, do you have enough assets to comfortably live out the rest of your life"
This gets to it. Basically bourgeoisie is the owning class and proletariat is the class that can only survive via labor, but as the post says it’s a bit more complicated these days. You could have a business owner or landlord who gets the same amount of paycheck as say a high-paid tech person, or actor, or doctor, or something. And the former is petty bourgeois and the latter is not, because the former owns assets and the latter, if they lose their job, will before long need to find another one in order to survive.
Now you could have someone getting a wage that’s been high enough for a long enough time that they have been able to acquire assets that could bring in income, which changes things somewhat. But the main thing to analyze is the relationship to resources, land, and means of production.
Im sorry that happened to you Or im glad for u Aint readin all that tho
