@PatternChaser@mastodon.green I had to actively refuse sugary thing which is culturally hard for many -

1/ But I did reduce it knowing that:

a) it's overkill (and teeth kill) to eat so much sugary stuff

b) a colonial import / supply chain which I can actively reduce by reducing my intake

AND when I feel for sugar have it (not as a dinner!)

2/
Nitpicking a bit what you said"

" is a poison, not a treat."

I think the framing isn't right at all - Sugar is part of our body, biology and intake so "is" in a short sentence with "poison" is almost 100% wrong.

If you said words inside the sentence like "Over-using / over-indulging / addiction or putting sugar in everything" then it would make more sense, rather than sugar=poison equation.

It's more about the *usage* and balance of it and not direct 1:1 in ratio like saying something clearly like drinking washing up liquid is poisonous / not part of a healthy diet.

Far Left and scary future + Video identifies problems... 

Far Left and Far Right the same?

And slightly tangentially about . See:

yewtu.be/watch?v=OkdNKxk9cK4

Watching many people like this who are clear about what they speak and talk about is refreshing for a long time - even though they could be questionable - just so many points measurably to a high degree if not spot-on.

So the beginning of might be hard to say but as video goes on and even in your own life (without saying you support anything) it's true and Far seems most scariest sometimes or lately.

What is said say is quiet true in film and for so much of it (not like an advert or spiel with no backup). I've experienced all these things, checking I'm not just suckered in, and for so long has been so, it's not like momentary thing...

It's like documented and the everyday practices of people know so well that even the average person almost can make a film about it about distance of daily life by design...

Watch just first few minutes but longer - which I guess EVERY is about and we need to just call it that and look to each other instead - because there is no NO JUSTICE / just us to do it for us without the other vicious-circle problems packaged WITH IT.

yewtu.be/watch?v=OkdNKxk9cK4

It's become so (again), so uncaring again etc that it just reveals the roots all the more that never went away (most people think is over or went away or the mentality or problems also gone nooo!- the people supposedly for caring don't care AND only do it for the money.
Full stop. Don't need to read more.

Almost doesn't matter who's talking in this video - just what is said and shows how we all have known for a long time... Happy it's a everyday kind of person from London and not Hollywood superstar.

What I don't understand is how THESE average people make near-genius quality video, clearly putting themselves on the line (jail time for speaking) when the clever people, coders, politicians, silent people etc are not doing any of the human stuff needed but somehow expecting humanness to somehow come into the equation and be done during processes? I think it's they that need training and pressure as surely without human contact or practice it is a lacking or death for all of us. Avoidance of the long human and personal work (it is crushing but without it leaves door open to worse while not getting further as individuals and I don't mean or something only)

So as a quick and bad example of that, you have a choice today it seems - 2 "known bad options" (again just quick example) so I ask you: Would you go for people, leaders, coders , engineers, techies that can't speak or write more than a few lines, cut emotional stuff out (etc) or would you go for potentially mystery / border-line racist and caring misguided people who say it very well, are prepared to come back to the table, practice talking more than even parents or anyone else?

The answer is clear - from even 2 bad options, you can't have people that ignore or operate without communication or without logic or only with computers and tech - there is just another kind of death in that (even if you are not doing the killing personally yourself, de-facto humans need humans and techies use more often - so people die without all that human contact and lack of practice by design / distance)-

I'd choose racist people I can talk to rather than cold distant group only about / powered by that choose only what profits most ( and ) to keep world 'going' somewhat rather than slowing it down for better quality in people. to some extent but just not turbo reckless growth in soul and planetary plunder.

So while I'm not buying into anything heavily... I already know what's correct and can be measured (by the comms or lacking thereof) even considering it might not be the whole truth - which is near impossible but at least there are people able to talk compared to those that hide behind various badges / names / / .

A lot is not new and same old happening again with newer faces.
And at least some are trying and I appreciate that.... your thoughts welcome...

Let's do better in New Year - just me and you if nothing else.

Profit / Greed, Dumb people, Cheap Cheese 🧀 the whole lot! 🐭 

@PatternChaser@mastodon.green Something to so with the will of the people too and at the same some assuming they know best / should be the managers (even regardless of profit spiraling into greed)... because the more I live the more I see dumb people (my friends also) so without put down they put themselves in that position / do it to themselves / are not looking for more.

So I can agree people need managing for sure and sub-classes of people - how to keep ourselves loving or together during different mentalities or 'roles' is a bit beyond me - I'd actually go for benevolent dictator or queen bee model - and also get rid of that that don't work but again asking people to be judge of the right king or queen is a also silly but I could literally imagine myself being king and trying to make sure everyone has everything and interview each person so they end up doing what they love... (lol me)

The average person can be so much like a musk (like I said even good friends with alcohol) but people don't see it or it's normal. I would say there is a cycle in animal or nature of "culling" (harsh word) or die-out but if we were watching sloths or deliberately slow animals on Geographic channel - we would say "hey those other predators are there, you have legs why don't you move ! or you see on tv and well you're not growing anything or preparing what's up with that?)... so a wave should come perhaps and reset things, not the human reset although that is natural too (like people with spears invade, we see invasion and economic intrusion accross the board, but people still go for the cheap cheese like mice at supermarkets without thinking where and how it comes and even if it's cheese at all!)... 🐭 :mickeymousehead:

Hope that helps! Kind of cathartic to talk about...

People are 'sheep' or some other term you can think of? And it's not just the baddies perhaps but accumilation of silence (complicity) and inaction and lack of imagination (even on Fediverse I have tested many here)... 

@PatternChaser@mastodon.green @seanthegeek
Not sure how I can describe what I feel about "normal" people or those that just follow.
Some might say "sheep" (do you both suggest any other terms?) but without put downs I do feel they are also shirking responsibility, indeed irresponsible for taking care of even their own 'back yard' or own 'people' and letting it go all the more to "baddies".

So it's not just musk

➡️ it's the accumulation of all the people who are silent or inactive in their own mind or others
(for more on that see this hashtag about a small video clip I took about 'silence is complicity')

➡️ not participating in anything much, and when they are, they are suckered into bad games or processes in how they do things, short-termism etc...

Overall a sort of "dud" as humans - sorry humanity.
I even know as a species of humans there are "sub-species" (this is not building to a racism post!) so there will be some people more active or clever in some things and do their work in various degrees but measurably I think people see 👀 and almost actively got good at blocking thinking too past the first time positions of looking other way not knowing what to - it's like too often and too many things it seems to be 'just learning' the bad... you could do the opposite and close your eyes and throw a dart anywhere and land on things falling apart as it's by design... but maybe they are just in their work and food modes... drones...

Even clever here are somewhat like that...

So just for sake of short-writing sheep - but any better terms (I like speaking accurately or functionally without hate.)

The lack of imagination (even on Fediverse) I have tested to also kind of resign, or not push to talk to people, like the only chess player in the room...

Again "it's not just what bad people do, it's also what the common person doesn't do' which is mainly fight their corner of the planet....

Thoughts welcome and do see (as I am adding to that hashtag often),

Many SMART people evidently have terrible writing of their own... short sentences are also a STAPLE AND HALLMARK of many coders who do little 'interacting' with 'humans' - preferring computers and code... ironically even hardcore coding for 'social change'... 

@frogzone
I'm having trouble believing smart people can READ

...or something other that they are smart in coding etc but also still terrible in other things like being average pub people (although this has gone up too I think)

1/ Because many SMART evidently have terrible writing of their own (like who is critiquing you here). You do a great job to avoid conflict but your longer writing was more clearer sometimes.

2/ Evidently or proportionately it seems more the 'genius' and 'specialised' people are, then the more perhaps risk or likelihood they are of being UNable or DISabled to do the longer reading or other social skills...

Like only doing short sentences is a STAPLE for many coders, evidence of that...

Ironically people hardcore coding for 'social change' sometimes... and no getting the paradox of short writing only.

3/ I honestly read your longer writing better than few sentences from IcedQuinn... so while ad hominem isn't my aim here (and you avoided it well) let me take the hit here in saying it's measurable and 'clever' people are often problematic in their social or reading deficiencies... and here's an example of it also in usage of AI as a way to make sense or shorten in summary (not sure if it was a joke) because

4/ This is EXACTLY why will take off and be a success with people like Iced because a) they even feel it's ok to run your text and info through AI b) take time to use to try 'shorten' things that are already quite short rather than re-read it themself which might even take less time - lol TLDR = if they use AI to do this kind of work - we're all f-ed and becomes self-edivident of intelligence.

Using can often measurably show the person's intellect by usage at all or why they used it (was it even needed?).

So overall I wouldn't say relying on "smart" covers the bases or caring factors! We have a lot of bad-clever examples and others even applaud them since onlookers think they get what seems short and simple.

(disclaimer I'm not saying Iced is all of that but trying to read his stuff as comparison was like "oh..." showing short doesn't mean it's easy to read either or worthwhile being short-depth).

So I'll read a bit more on your stuff and be on my way...

On Thursday evening AUSTRALIA JUST MADE A LAW to destroy privacy on ALL PLATFORMS that enable "online social interaction" in the name of protecting people under 16 years of age!

The law:

> defines an “age-restricted social media platform” as a service with a “sole purpose, or a significant purpose” to enable “online social interaction” between people, who can “post material” on the service. The legislation does not name any specific service

https://www.rt.com/news/608374-australia-bans-children-social-media/

This is serious, :butterfedyC: fediverse don't want kids on the platform but we cant do age verification either, without destroying #privacy. If fedizens sit back and allow australian teens to have no voice online then we should not be surprised when they come for OUR children outside of #australia.

The only way that :butterfedyA: fediverse and :peertube:PeerTube servers in #australia will be able to participate in the network is if we OFFICIALLY embrace i2p (invisible internet protocol).

Help free australia, and by doing so, FREE OURSELVES!

Please boost.

@danie10 @hcj Australia's new law effectively means #teens will not be able to research topics that may OR MAY NOT BE affecting their society, as they move into #adulthood, this effectively reduces under-16s in #australia (and if this global trend continues, the world) as second class citizens, 2nd class youth will invariably lead to 2nd class adults. Information is NOT #alcohol, its NOT an addictive drug, it is the bigtech platforms that have weaponized the social spaces.... social spaces in general are NOT THE PROBLEM!

the australian govt comparing this law to an #alcoholBan ought horrify every living person on earth. we should be reminded also of what the "war on drugs" actually achieved, in so far as it simply put a bunch of recreational users into the #prisonIndustrialComplex. I put forward that THIS is the real goal of this new global push by govts to ban #information for our youth.

It is also akin to the burning of books, because when govt (today in the 'land-down-under') ties access to the internet to getting a #facescan, or a govt-issued #digitalID that will spell the end of #academicFreedom. The so-called #freeAndOpenWeb and #fediverse community must move swiftly to make australia's new laws redundant.

Mobilise now....

#Lawfare = Law used against people (I would say against public) 

Increasingly individual people speaking out against are getting long sentencing.

+ examples

Clip is from video "Lawfare 2":

= Law is used against people

= "The use of system to overwhelm an opponent, such as to stop or destroy them."

💬 My comment on our futures...

Intellectual word-fighting between us is needed individually to solve all this individual decision-making (not thinking represents us).

/ $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 which I don't see as people doing between actual people personally.

Is it just software to change?

needs to with Intellect towards 💖 as Humans. Enough (we can keep a lot but also develop people more now...)

Martin Niemoeller's is an example of people who supported the Nazis for a good while (OR SUPPORT CAPITALISM LET'S SAY AS MODERN VERSION) and then flip themselves down the line to realise "no...." it's not the way for me...

Many didn't say a word and even killed against others (even worse dobbed people in, to let others kill them). They then also just perished so maybe that's accordingly the outcomes when doing the bad work I think from their own ways and also system earting if self..

- LINK 1 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_th...

- LINK2 (AUDIO VERSION) encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content

TLDR = Niemöller's belief was that Germans had been complicit through their silence in the Nazi imprisonment, persecution, and murder of millions of people.

This has a nice audio version of softer wiki-like page. I've put this on my Mastodon and maybe attached it if I remember. Excellent for people to hear often to stop encroaching criminalization of every single sector and type of person

@faraiwe @HistoPol Good point about whether it was enough before and kinda of "if the system will stop itself" which the answer = HELL NO / NO WAY

So it's just up to individuals as main fallback and well most people are not working on themselves and working on / with others to improve their own mentality and instead spend time throwing stones at , , etc.

Simply building our own thing or just making more friends than focusing on enemies would work WONDERS if not minimise spreading less of the bad word (which in itself is a winner now everyone is spreading it all).

They know. It does not really make too much difference, if you are in the first or the fourth train. They'll come 4 you.

Also, he's missing an important group, that all dictators kill of initially: the intelectuals (ask Stalin and Mao.)

So, no, it is existential 4 most people.

And, however, yes everything legal must be done to stop the MAGATs. But this must suffice.
