Look, I am a white man and even I get that we were ever only a nation of laws for white men.

We are not going to fix this with "law".

People are lost in External Politics

(kinda like saying to grandma after installing rather than explaining), and then just remind them but usual messenger or email to try go to it when you are there or when live chatting switch to the better chat place/#app...

➡️ 2/ Being on both and using both - slowing more than others (soft manipulation)

In English using says: (about )

T.G.M.: "All reasonable and honest politics is the execution and consolidation of humanity both internally and externally; politics, like everything we do, must be consistently subordinated to ethical laws. I know there are politicians, especially those who consider themselves terribly practical and clever, who dislike this requirement; but experience, not only mine, I think, teaches that reasonable and honest politics, as Havlíček calls it, is the most effective and practical. In the end, so-called idealists are always right and do more for the state, for the nation, and for humanity than those politicians who are called realistic and clever. Clever fellows are, in the end, stupid."

K.Č.: "But in their time, idealists are not always right."

T.G.M.: "Sometimes not, sometimes yes; even in politics, the mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine..."

I’ve spent my career studying how regimes justify the unjustifiable. So when a civilian driver is labeled a “domestic terrorist,” I know what that language is doing — building a permission structure for violence. Minneapolis isn’t just a tragedy. It’s a warning. I break it down in my new essay.

A Killing, a Cover‑Up, and the...

People on their own have no idea what to do + Social is already less-human for active interaction, because we're not dedicating to it or building trust / merging etc actively.... 

@stux
TLDR;
➡️ *People left to it on their own have no idea what to do socially*

➡️ They / we stay flawed alone or don't help others as a dedicated / integrated sport / merging endeavor

We need to fix this by DOING SOCIAL AS A DEDICATED / ...

not just giving people tech

⬆️ That's the

Below is more but optional

I feel like nobody responds anyway so I have read over my own writing but if you can't see the heart or why to practice it, then it's dry and almost game over as it is almost already...

So...

It's not just but people who are choosing to be less human too, daily or online!

A lot of people said they would do things in person but it's also an excuse for some who wouldn't do anything.

So we need to pump that up as State's are not going to do it for us. We do it.

All the socials are measurably the same one-way posts, a few short-depth replies, even the same bickering / propaganda / misunderstanding / deflection found elsewhere online.

Rather than sorting personal politics - people are falling into the external and empty shit rather the stuff they can control (themselves and somewhat their family and personal politics between them).

Not all the same as Meta here, it's a bit better here but evidently even more *dry* / empty and similar without the slop (as comparison - not saying I like slop but it's empty / unsocial almost without dedicated people helping others do it!).

OPTIONALLY MORE....
==================

posts are a plenty here but near-nobody developing human social by talking / building in that way.

➡️ Frankly to most tech people to do human interaction without machines being the focus / work / topic...

I talked to someone making the website for a charity and has good ethics, but asking them actively, they told me they don't want to be a part of any charity work, like nothing - even after saying to them "I'm prodding just to check what you mean" eventually it turns out they prefer machine work almost only with it being a bit better as a boss. This is not enough if humans are the problem / what we need to develop!

Charity without work?
Weird.

= Lots of about machine code, which language is better or the hardware, cat pictures - the best this or that, some great 1-ways posts, how to fix the tech that they are breaking as an endless cat-and-mouse game which could turn out to be a big waste of tech time, a few tips but not much socially for everyone to hop into and audio chat afterwards or improve the art of talking to people / expanding existing mentality! :blobshock:
Of course it could involve tech and ALL topics but not really being THE focus or mono-work / mono-conversation.

❓ I suppose we should let the untrained work it out? ❓
➡️ No - clearly doesn't work if you leave uneducated do it or want to improve real social.

We / you / me / whoever is up should this thing like you and other have done in other projects...

So can't be near-0 or just one-off comments for everyone - need:
- building (socially) / yes online posts and pages,
- leading / a bit of moderated chats (some chat like this or audio chats after for the / )
- increasing ,
- (in our own circles as a circular economy in itself). etc

It is all possible simply with audio talks from time to time, in a 3-click no account safe-than-zoom chat)

A WHOLE WORLD WAITING FOR US TO DEVELOP_>

Yes ISOLATION is by choice for most and answer also about Meta being non-human (when people are not doing it regardless of AI or bad guys etc), All these sites have nobody to talk to - not even fans to fans (crowd-sourcing / limiting liability etc).

I think there would be plenty enough extrovert to start things and spread out to normal conversation - who wouldn't want in their teens healthy chat and even the weird to become expert in identifying the right and wrong / being more extrovert / fixing things...

My account counts for years of trying and that's why I'm asking else I'd do it by myself with a few (but it's that dry nobody wants to use even the people with free time).

Again way to say it.... (repetition)

Yes...bad people doing bad.

But No... the good people are not doing enough together anyway. They choose not to respond or go into depth or DEDICATE TIME TO OTHERS!!

Imagine - half hour for others and being more clear that's what we are doing and making audio circles (can be nameless) to conclude / enjoy things!

And near-no replies from you the reader or Stux on this

Not having a weekly thing with your fans or monthly type of driver / catchup and gather folks online is a missed opportunity and stifling their progress too - a semi-organised audio chat helps get things straight or fans helping fans etc-

I'd do one circle but needs a bit of a existing crowd to come and then maybe you leave us to it.
I don't have lots of followers and you do - purely as numbers and mass - followers would come / read about it.

Otherwise... the answer to your post is of course money (the root of all evil as it pretends to be unpolitical / unethical / neutral / and isn't (banks are highly political).

So who cares about people... AND DOING THE WORK?

⬆️ Readers do reply ! ⬆️
And if you want to do it reply!
This is not a hate post.

Plenty of tech devs.... but just not actively social devs....

Not real *human* development... so to your post I can't say non-human but I can say short-depth, low interaction and I'm sure we all see this and can measure it... hell try reply in depth like me and see how many replies you get asking for ANY comment about any of this !

I hope you get this and entertain the other post above to really say it in other words and hit home how IMPORTANT this is, together.

100% we need to be more socially / humanly developing.

The rest below is just the comments from this thread saying it's about money (which I agree but are they doing social also? 'll have a look at their accounts)... hmm

Tâi Siáu-káu 台痟狗 ㄊㄇㄉ 🇳🇫 台灣國 @TimMaddog
💬 The point? Financial and social .

Hyperbolix Prudens 🎹🖌️⌨️ @hyperbolix Whatever makes the most money for is fine with them

@stux
@hazelweakly

Stux I agree...

But if people keep watching them (like you evidently) and not something else then this also the problem (and opportunity) to socially do something else...

It is about gathering the good people more actively / socially and developing that - not just tech (which might seem it does but evidently even the best Mastodon can't achieve making us gather / collect the good / do more)...

So Main Point ➡️ MOSTLY I don't see you / others developing ACTUAL SOCIAL ACTIVITY at the same time as . (Not saying you or 'everyone' in Tech is bad but it's such a missing part of life and actually getting to be a over-cooked sometimes since we have enough).

Actually building or methods or to make people more robust at the same time as all this software / tech / apps / etc is direly needed / very important...

Developing software only doesn't work... (alarm bells are ringing).

Positively I say this potential.

You can measure it by the / # Musk / / Zukerberg bashing and all that time that could be invested in ourselves INSTEAD!

If I'm wrong, please let me know

Also if you think life can work mostly Tech-based (and it's evident already)... also let me know.

The same , , or whatever is distraction - and remember with more-Tech ways we are still using them but they are using us (buying their storage, tooting about it and making all their links and people go round and round etc).

➡️ Waste of time to a large extent that we can RE-ROUTE back into ourselves as better investment and links (to our own shit, even if it's not as flashy as / and frankly better as as if needs be said that way).

Economy of is a value, it does give back to .

⬆️ Above is all the main points to do more socially, as development.

I don't want to hammer you but it's like things are 1-legged work without this part.

⬇️ More on the social side and how below
⭐ ( If it's too much already just answer the above, thanks - also happy to audio ANYTIME just DM me)

SO... Developing humans needs to be inside the development circle / social movement else it's too much tech and not much else but what what we had before with forums or whatever else mostly text based (just a bit more private now and fast but not humans really connecting as the daily driver also)...

Because people don't know how to speak to each other so this is the other main problem - we have nearly no good example or place online (just hate on TV / Internet) so believe we (or just let me do some stuff under your watch) have to all this to catch up socially.

We don't have a way or place to train / be together (I use but without organising by trusted, bigger known people like you, Jitsi is just empty place but good news is that tech does exist as a 3-click instant / no account / safer-than- chat we can go into ANYTIME (even audio-chat only - I don't care for faces and this limits the bad potential).

Example chat spaces:

jitsi.freifunk-duesseldorf.de/ (any chat name)

TLDR;
➕ Develop people more
➖ Less software (now that you mastered it, just maintain or let others help you do that while pumping up the social building work).

More than happy to chat to you or anyone (even on your behalf) but we need some bigger names to help (there are other ways but the start is important) and you have lots of people following so slowly / surely we can do it.

The same mistake as almost all other introvert techies are to talk machines all day, "develop the machine and code" every day, but near-0 human development both themselves and others. We have to crack this part for humanity also...

What do you think?

For others and us elsewhere we NEED THIS PART too at the same time as the social or else it's just all one-way stuff ( 🔂 and not 🔃 ).

Tech people maybe don't want to do this or even know how to do social themselves so let me say IT IS NOT COMPLICATED!
(Happy news!)

Just let people filter in and I'll do the rest and report back (people also will report back increasing trust / progress / more and more respect / love / peace for others!)

To avoid life developing the same monsters / introverts / frustration / emotional mess / uncommunicative people etc... we need some bigger heads to allow some tests (just audio chats) and that will encourage and embed more trust (it is measurable and can be documented if I do something bad in your name, but it's a MASSIVE MISSING PIECE without people in pyramids helping it along as alone nobody trusts or makes a way bad moments can be documented (like if something is wrong people could leave 'bad feedback' using mastodon or reason it - all good stuff for human ).

Your thoughts please... and if not say "NO!" as a short and just make it you're not interested in real / non- dev!

Much love,
Good work - in this area also. Please.

Hi all good but a few points:..

===================
1️st point ➡️ Your paragraph:

" If you hate a fascist thug then you hate all of them. And if you don’t hate all the fascist thugs from the bottom of your heart then you’re one of them too. "

I hate / think it's bad logic that you feel you have make someone an enemy or call them names because they don’t hate all the fascist thugs or have a bad logic in arguing.

It's bad work and not productive to do this (even if it has some good logic mixed in which you mention and agree with).

===================
2nd point ➡️ Your paragraph:

", and you want to draw the spotlight on someone else you’re more sympathetic with, then you’re a filthy imperialist fascist too."

Many good people do things badly but they are not a "filthy imperialist fascist". I accept MANY do go along with things (also from lack of choice) or don't want to cause trouble (inside a trouble-making system). But again it's not the same.

THE WHOLE OF THE INTERNET (almost) often revolves around name calling or division and not the learning or realising the points (which you also do here so that's great).

Good people are crap at many things too... but not fascist. Maybe "fascistic" or have some logic or tendency but nowhere to that full level of it.

================
If you want more on this
read more...
================

I personally don't mean the opposite either (that I might like fascist thugs) but to play one off another with even the good-ish people (or those that share some good points with you) means you are deliberately losing people at the same time or making an ultimatum way too early.

People are simply waaay behind (ANY person whether fascist, liberal, OR NOT).
People simply doesn't understand most of the design of modern life (that's gone way ahead of people today) so they are way behind and don't even know what's driving people apart (like money and banks for example).

People think numbers are straight / respectable / hold good value)... such a common basic fundamental flaw but hard to see / it is mostly invisible.

I admit many know the manipulation too by banks or economic war design (every country copied) AND INDIVIDUALS ARE (and leaders) but often they see but can't hold priority to that or see more-invisible war (money itself as a deliberately bad design seemingly giving but taking away / damaging life). All the while we have a fascistic life as a design itself... IN THAT WAY WE ARE ALL FASCISTIC... awful to type and consider and say to you now...

... so it's hard to see that or offer alternative now we are in this negative container with seemingly neutral "money" between us all causing the damage - it's like passing drugs around to each other and only feeling ok / safe for a little bit while everything gets worse.

====================
You can stop here / point made
====================

Another /

So my comment to you about drawing the line like this is saying that is bad practice for me and others as I can see it's too early and even stimulating more hate (whether you intended or not name-calling only leads to more crap as that's easiest for people and they 'understand' that and not the rest).

Many are 'uneducated' and yes even ignorant AND 'stupid' ('stupid' as a comparative measurement to those who have amply time / willpower to spend educating and like to learn online much more than others)... but not all bad.

So you explain things well - but some stays in hate mode and even perpetuates /encourages more hate (for those that are unskilled at least - for me I can let it slide but others are like dogs if you threaten them)... so actually I agree with you about hating (or not playing with the wrong types) BUT if you're saying people "you are one of them too" for not hating them then you are making the mistake of pushing others yourself into being an enemy against you and even though they are actually mostly on your side (and let's say dumber or even have fascistic tendency). Again this is different to being fascist or liking fascism...

===========
Another tangent... Limp Bizkit lyrics
(backing up my main points constructively)
===========

A lyric finally that shows what I mean about the knee-jerk or dog-like reaction:

"I know why you wanna hate me, because hate is all the world has every seen lately"
- Limp Bizkit - M.I.2 Theme (Hate Me)

So while the clear extremes are to be 'hated' (for me it's not active hate) but finding good people to work with instead of hating is the way (which we are terrible at now as I've measured in my life's work which is why people stay in hate mode) and I think it's often wasted energy in that way just as over the top to hate rather than getting better at - building - and frankly words that sound weird online but are not if you really about the world to do it. Audio chats, etc

Hate is everywhere and feels like not many can actually and have longer conversation while keeping emotion and logic intact. So it helps to keep people on-side a bit / focus on the logic rather than (which nobody likes / is a negative loop unless really sure they know all the facts like you and chose already 100% the opposite).

Strangely fascistic people hate, and so do you - which can make you similar in that way. And this is another way of showing maybe you are not the same as a fascistic person even though you are strongly hating.

*"fascistic" in above paragraph might be different to previously mention and might mean "intolerant / impatient / quick to dismiss / not focused helping good educate next generations and hating more"

Finally...
I don't know you so no big statements against you but the patterns described I think make sense...

Thoughts welcome...
