iiuc, ATProtoFans just shows you to pay someone and have that payment verified on-protocol. you post content wherever you want (Bluesky, Dropbox, etc.) and someone tips you. I think it’d be better to be able to pay for specific content, like put a video behind a paywall, but that’s not yet there

I hope you can come out of this with a better understanding. I do know it’s tough being the main character on bsky dot app fr

leading to whatever healthcare is present in that country not providing hrt to the same level as other healthcare. it’s not as simple as “capitalism caused you to need crypto for hrt”, it’s moreso the intense discrimination. intersectionality would teach you this
all of this is very not-anarchist

you say you’re an anarchist but
1. the exclusivity of your language towards trans women is not cooperative, it’s competitive
2. you brought up capitalism as the reason a trans person in an impoverished country can’t get their hrt without crypto, but it’s more likely bc of social discrimination-

like if one latino person thinks everyone should use latinè I’m not going to immediately start using latinè blindly. I’m going to generally try to use it around them and take that into account for others. if I learn that the majority of latinos themselves use latino, I’m prob gonna default to that

what I meant is that at the end of the day you have to decide what to default to when talking to people. I think “latinè” is the kind of thing where different people of that ethnicity will reasonably disagree on what’s the best thing to say. you just have to choose for yourself what to use

or if you just know *of* a situation like this, feel free to tell that story instead

depends on the person you’re talking to tbh. if you want to default to latine, cool. and if someone tells you that kinda sucks and to not use it, probably respect that, at the very least around them. if multiple people say that probably switch it up entirely. up to whatever feels right for you tho

sure, but the answer isn’t to buy in to the idea that it solves all our problems either (or even that many problems). they should probably just say it’s useful as a tool sometimes but also employ the Walz strat of calling anyone who sees it as the messiah “weird”

that’s what worries me more than anything. that people will see AI as the answer to many of their problems and see the Republicans embracing it.

imagine if the general public is told AI will solve their healthcare problems (they won’t have to trust doctors anymore), they won’t have to drive but will be driven everywhere and if they have a car they can rent it out, and their jobs will get easier and easier (not that they will go away)

Trump seems to see the importance of keeping the tech oligarchy in his camp. in June he appointed 4 new Lt. Cols. to the military from Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI. I think he’s always known the power of messaging and is realizing that tech and AI can provide a *hopeful* vibe for his strongman govt

the options going forward for the Republican Party will be naked Fascism (Stephen Miller vibes, even if he doesn’t run) and Technofuturism. naked Fascism will be too unpopular, but Technofuturism could add the *excitement* of AI and tech as a veneer over traditional authoritarian conservatism.

so we ended up with Trump. Biden fails to *energize* a dying neoliberalism bc he’s literally dying and there was no Socialist alternative, so we got Trump fucking *again*. but make no mistake: both neoliberalism and naked crony capitalism are likely over. no one wants this shit anymore

in 2016 we had 3 options: Hillary, Bernie, and Trump. those in power hated even a hint of Socialism more than Strongman Crony Capitalism, so they chose to support Trump over Bernie. average joes believed Trump was a threat to the establishment like Bernie, so they split between Trump and Bernie.

think of neoliberalism as Hillary Clinton, fascism as Stephen Miller (not Trump), Strongman Crony Capitalism as Trump, and Technofuturism as Elon Musk pre-2024.

I’m just gonna repost what nerdjpg posted above to help you understand why something one person called “national socialism” doesn’t have to actually be socialism

while this is true, it’s more accurate to understand Hitler as incorrect about Socialism and its history than as a pioneer of Socialist thought or that he had some new and novel take on it

the utility of hearing advice in natural language is just that it feels more trustworthy, not that it’s actually better. Reddit is both in human language AND actually from a human. ChatGPT is only the former.
