    It doesn't take an enormous amount of money to buy a politician. It is even easier to buy a scientist or university professor. It is easier yet to buy a propagandist or PR firm. Even easier than that is buying a AI bot propaganda farm.

    Anyone who tells you to trust authority is your enemy and the servant of your slaver.

                New from the Postmodern Set: Freedom — Enchantment: Social Contract

                Rousseau’s paradox remains alive: we are born free and everywhere bound.
                Freedom isn’t lawlessness—it’s shared constraint, the fragile enchantment that keeps us human.

                Black-and-white illustration of robed figures standing in a forest clearing, forming a circle by linking chains between their hands. The figures appear both united and restrained, illuminated by a pale, radiant light that suggests dawn or revelation. The mood is solemn yet transcendent, symbolising Rousseau’s paradox that freedom and constraint are inseparable. The image appears as a parody Magic: The Gathering card titled “Freedom,” subtitled “Enchantment — Social Contract,” with a quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau: “To renounce liberty is to renounce being a man.” The art captures the tension between community, bondage, and liberation.

                          I'm interested in really talking audibly with people about the many things that interest us... as the direct action, network building, the education etc... many things people don't want to do often... (which is self-perpetuating / stays in victim-mode despite legitimate fear)... so I'm looking to get out of that as an eventually unhealthy / limited loop.

                          Is this the kind of social network here or mostly text + music and not those things I listed?

                                                        For Spinoza, Rousseau, and Castoriadis, freedom is about understanding what determines us—and critically, about actively co-writing the laws we live by. Passive freedom exists where people are governed without participation, as in today’s catademocracies. True freedom is active and collective. Freedom, for Spinoza, arises from…

                                                          @garyackerman This is a good post for Mastodon or Twitter because "Social presence isn’t community." is a good quote here by .

                                                          Any and people that aren't really building actively, with people daily, and personally, remains "just another platform" or "slightly better" version of and *never* quite a movement that way with people towards training to respect each other / learning what that means / dedicating themselves more than distracting themselves via and the same imported stuff elsewhere / .

                                                          The point is: rather than people making personal things and improve or work together / merge things, they would rather you are over there and they here... never to question themselves or be questioned by others towards or similar things which finger can be put on... if willing to .

                                                          So the is there but not the will of people building *each other up* (not waiting for or another magic way, just to do it themselves ).

                                                          Many DO NOT want to do much of this building personally or being responsible (even with what they and ) and that is almost the why we have or others doing for us exist because FRANKLY we can't make (with anyone!) and can't maintain anything more than an aesthetic on or offline (you would think it's easier online even to pretend since it's more distant). And job and colleagues are often not deep friends or can't be under contract, so even they can come and go as the work does! If you ever leave your work or made redundant you'll soon realise this and what "friend: can mean in modern day disposable life.

                                                          Basic for the way - but it's not on the agenda for most - to make the world less about strangers and more about work with them. Friends eventually and each at their own definition I think is possible.
