💬 "Embracing “messiness” as a feature, not a bug, in creating humane and effective tech solutions.
Wikipedia is a messy, decentralized project that thrives because it prioritizes community and collaboration over technical perfection.
The #Fediverse, with its federated nature, allows for diverse approaches and experimentation, embracing a level of messiness to resist centralization and foster creativity.
The #geekproblem we need to mediate is the churn of #techshit, of developers focusing too heavily on technical aspects, ignoring the social context and long-term utility of their work. "
#Capitalism means... "markets are free, meaning everyone has the same amount of power in the market, no one can game the system"...

💬 My comment:
Typically "Capitalism" seems to be said in public to mean "money rules and everyone is driven by greed",
... when in reality it means something else according to #Freemo that I'm exploring / currently trying to re-learn.
Initially I think it's both things or many things since there is so much nuance of Capitalism and something evolving even from the basic definition. It seems it's not just 1 solid dictionary or Wikipedia definition - it's many pages! Again many nuances or ways doesn't seem to help although in a static moment away from today I get parts of it
💖 ➡️ FEELINGS VS. LOGIC... ⬅️ 💔
I have massive #feelings and crossed wires about "Capitalism" ⚔️ and below I list some of those feelings bullet pointed with 🔴
"Capitalism" is like my brain in a skipping CD 💿 or Vinyl Record 🔴 that stays in the same track whenever you try play it or talk about a topic... I might understand some logic but can't agree with much of it's perception or 'who-knows-who' that made it (many).
Looking at the page "Free-Market Capitalism" page makes me think to myself:
💬 "What do I actually agree with here? Anything?
Answer: Not much! Have to find something I can agree with!"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_market
Check how you feel compared to how I feel (disclaimer: I might still not 'get it' but this is how I feel)...
🔴 Selling / Re-selling the planet 🌏 ? ❌ Na. ❌
That's like an illegal operation or incompatible way of looking it it sometimes. What's a beautiful bird worth?
For people "trying" to convert to numbers (deliberately fucking things like money-changer or innocently trying to manage things) it's totally like difference sciences and false measurement (even without assuming #money and f-ing #banks are just to tax and skim off people behind their backs and re-loan / dilute the money behind our backs too, devaluing it at their benefit!). WTF!
More numbers / more debt?
🔴 Owning things - should anyone own things more than apportioning it to the next person / generation - ok a piece of paper for saying that - but a buying complicated pieces of paper as a program or scheme to enrich the system again (taz) / cheating people out of shelter and the future eventually? (No! Too risky even to consider)
🔴 Pricing people labour / Future children priced? Can it ever be fair? Can't we just accept people and almost hope they do for the love of things?
Despite me not have whole answer for this either - just not selling our self either falsely/arbitrarily and trying to falsely value all different arts which banks and state have no care about (dying artists constantly). Either as numbers or anything more than caring for it and allowing the education of that... ?
And the 10 chickens / children have feelings and not just the number 10 to kill and use from them throw away.
Much more than numbers please. Giving life AND love (something often not mentioned in growing life.) Selling is mainly like a empty vehicle to constantly find something to empty and fill again without care and encourages lack of quality and more physical moving things more than a meta look.
What about love as the process too - why not that?
🔴 "competitive markets", a price system?
Doesn't it end all the same bad way and never stays how it was intended to start?
🔴 "exchange of rights (cf. ownership) of services and goods" kind of ok but can't we keep things more often rather than commodifying it to commercialise it - just nice little homes and small economy with big serving them in it's own small / less chemical crap ways.
🔴 "Markets" has so much variation / too much - renders this whole definition of free-market useless on first look / too open to interpretation and change.
🔴 Economics - a terrible word perhaps from the perspective of who is taking care of the land / planet and people (government) who's job is really care of itself and use people as batteries which are disposable ? Governments that took the land but don't really share it to future generations and just want more bad and even increasingly looking to take more land !
(how it got to this point was by stealing or conquering it so why continue that? Who wants to forever re-sell it for more and more never-ending problems with it, not letting people actually inherit it)
=====================
OK THAT'S ENOUGH
...FOR NOW!
=====================
SO YEAH I'm fighting off the same Capitalism feeling that I get tempted back into think, like a skipping CD 💿 or Vinyl Record 🔴 that stays in the same track whenever you try play it or talk about a topic...
Not fun and slipping into the same feeling for what seems 100% an over-flexible definition for "#FreeMarket Capitalism" which of course encourages people to take any part they want from it - since it's ALL OF IT!!
If we are to use words indeed to think they mean 1-10 things that would be great, just not #meaning 100 things will any #nuances you like!!!
(I will continue learning today and seems to come up often with many people on this hashtag!) 😃 😅

#Church and #State are different and hostile #Hitler made it so clear at the time...
Many #German people or people around the world didn't say a word and even killed against others (even worse dobbed Jewish people or reported #sympathizers (to let others kill them!).

Political policies and campaigns are often based on taking away 'certain' freedoms and then slowly taking away all of them.

#Politics is what is done to you basically - just a bit more 'diplomatically' so it causes less of a scene and instead do it step by step like that #Grandma #Game behind your back while at your at work, getting closer all the while to their ideal scenario from the start... Total control.
Someone should literally plot all these changes to see how it's part of the same patterns and historically going towards the same crushing control / reducing of #community #people and #freespeech.

#2025 #Paradoxes - Using dissatisfaction anger for good things
Trying too much can be a mistake too but I'm full of these paradoxes...
I always try too much with people even though people prefer *thinking they know people* just because it's shallow-knowing type -
So use I my dissatisfaction in the lack of depth as a kind of a problem (in people also) as a kind of fuel for other things...
It's like knowing you'll be pissed off and people way behind in caring but not blaming everyone and knowing you'll be happy with non-perfect / imperfect ALL IS NOT PERFECT from the start (we have to know that from start and live with the crap).
This "kind-of" works well to fuel other boxes in my life (maybe not other people's life as I hope they might repair it themselves) as long as you're not the type to explode and simply increment what you can in other things...
People are also not flexible so year you can blame others and yourself... another kind of paradox...
GRRRRRR..... ⬅️
use your dissatisfaction(s) to bring out the best beast in you!!! 🐻 🐺 🐿️ 👹 👺

Happy New Year ... and reminders about #Individualism vs. $tate (#Lawfare)
Happy New Year ... a few similar thoughts around this topic:
#Individualism vs. $tate
(#Lawfare for example used against individuals)
New Year reminders...
➡️ Don't forget to continue your progress with others in 'fighting' (balancing) for logic or sympathy between you and others in more-mutual ways.
To benefit / increment things more personal to you and others and not just $tate job or $tate in the middle badly managing things (I hope you agree we can't wait for them to grow a heart or have sympathy for us).
Free Speech is under attack so allowing other people more personally to exist is important - otherwise people go toward #sterilisation instead and then #fascism quickly comes after that because it's just to 'cleanse' people of themselves which is clearly reducing their personality and making soldier or zombies.
These processes which are not caring go towards #oppression and falsely 'cleaning' people using the dirty work that is happening underneath and in the background like today all the while - another kind of #Genocide happens to them and other people elsewhere.
➡️ Not only #Law but #morally balanced things between you AND your #personality too...
Why? because this a more #caring way - not restricting yOurself always. Free to #speak and #balance things... that's natural when #evolving... we are not trying to #devolve.
Legal / Illegal vs Moral
➡️ Not just State's 'legal' and 'illegal' #definitions - that's just a narrow view used as a weapon to box you into a #label and ignore / hide other parts of your #humanity and other people's humanity too
When people try to keep out things and instead of heading towards #love and hearing them they are encouraging a #system of #competition and #war since that is more profitable and extracting from people all their energy (without the care).
➡️ #Lawfare is used by $tates to weaponise #law against people unfairly and to get their own way using their own systems by design!!
➡️ We need to #change back the actual #moral meanings of things and not forget #individuals.
Forgetting #individualism is what we need to UNDO by making it more #personal and customised to ourselves.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 💖 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
BIG #LOVE TO ALL
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 💖 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Pictures explained:
➡️ I know the 3-in-1 picture can seem a bit weird or racist or something BUT that is because there is truth in all 3 mini pictures that:
🔴 WE need to USE each other directly either way otherwise we let $tate use us badly and at everyone's cost -
🔴 we need to avoid people shrugging from the bad design and only say "I'm just doing my job' as things get worse...
🔴 By design we need to undo what is happening by those that did uncaring work in the past...
LET'S BE TOGETHER BALANCING THINGS MORE OFTEN SOCIALLY
NOT LETTING CRUEL #STATE ($TATE) 'TAKE CARE' OF US (KILL US SLOWLY) LIKE WE ARE WORTHLESS BATTERIES FOR THEM TO CONSUME...
Head towards love. 💖 ⭐
#Lawfare = Law used against people (I would say against public)

💬 My comment on our futures...
Intellectual word-fighting between us is needed individually to solve all this individual decision-making (not thinking #BigState represents us).
#States / $tates DO NOT REPRESENT US OR CARE or give love to people (it's evidence from processes we go through)...
Do not beg for love from them
- it's individual integrity needed now more than ever to slowly bring it back to the heart in everything we do and accept ALL PEOPLE that are genuine and trying express themselves no matter what.
It's the long work between us on #Fediverse which I don't see as #Tech people doing between actual people personally.
Is it just software to change?

#Quote "deviation from the norm will be punished unless it is exploitable"

https://mastodon.social/@docpop/113714452887887120
ℹ️ Picture isn't representing author and a bit over the top - but shows how menaces like #Trump #Musk #Bezos are allowed in society because they FEED #exploitation because that IS THE SYSTEM ITSELF FROM ROOT.
#Good, #bad or #ugly as long as they rake in the #money for #state ($tate #government whatever people).
As long as they get the real 'job' done in #pyramids of ' #legal ' or ' #illegal ' it's all good because both feeds the same thing (almost like people watching vs people doing the bad deeds).
And so a lot is just a label for getting things done in of itself and the people don't actually morally care and just use it against others who do!.

💬 MY COMMENTS ON DEVS IN GENERAL...
MANY OF THE #DEVS I'VE TRIED WITH SHOW DISORDERS THAT IN SHORT ARE LIMITED / RETARDED QUIETLY OR NOT... sleep deprived, lacking depth, short-text mode only etc...
So while I might lose 2 fans in saying that (again just in short devs don't want longer emotions or depth between others) and so that's how you screw up life. It's not just software to interface.
You have to put some other people and logic FIRST, else you lose it no matter what project you have.
In this video both are able but one clearly over-reacts to 1 comment and spends too much time weaponising it.
It is about code of conduct and frankly humanness NOT JUST COMPUTERS - TIME TO SKILL-UP people. OR ELSE projects fail across the board and people like that #rugpull it also (though in this case I don't question his dedication but still WE NEED NEW AND BETTER DEVELOPERS with communication skills else ALL is LOST).

"You were always the wrong guy" #Quote #Xmen #Film series
#Quote is from #X24 talking to #Wolverine about being a good guy and reassuringly "you were always the wrong guy"
This kind of fits somehow to today's world to accept people in #society trying to be themselves and whoever they are or work on balancing it out between the rest of them ...if people let them...
So in this #Superhero #RealTalk I think we all on #Fediverse are different and should be appreciated for it rather than standardised or ignored...

#Monero seems so far the best winner as it is international and more our own authority - yes it burns energy but actually ALL money does whether it's coins and banks burning us using compound inflation or whatever quantitative easing / diluting methods.
So #Monero better than #PayPal which a lot of people have (Imagine PayPal co-founder is ambassador to Trump and goes overseas to enhance defense and security - God or something help us all)
See this is how #US power is all linked as sub-companies of United $takes or United #Snakes / or whatever United #States join together conspiring the same old #State against it's own people, like all donations use the people to fund themselves to get even bigger and badder...

I appreciate the avatar might look like F for Fascist but I left it there as #F for #FreeSchool AND I think the mind needs to by-pass strong words to see the reality (State and even Fediverse now using Fascist as a favourite word too easily and mean some component part of it but it's unclear in generalising everything as Fascism to unspecificed extent and just bashing / labelling more people online)
I also ask people for human #chats using simple #Jitsi audio chat in the browser (no-install / no account / no google etc!) Really the best / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough out there needing just browser on any platform / device!
