      1. my half-baked socio-political theory of america is that most intuit that capitalism is garbage but the trauma of the cold war and its propaganda so thoroughly wiped clean the imagination of multiple generations that you can say shit like this while funneling kids towards VCs

      like, this statement is straight communist agitprop. yet somehow the person who said it encourages people to create enterprises whose sole legal purpose is to enrich shareholders -- by definition not "makers". i dont think he can imagine anything else and its kind of sad honestly

    "i dont want to be told what to do" is present in america, but its not sufficient. its a first step towards liberation. "i do not want to tell others what to do" is the other *crucial* half. without it you end up reproducing capitalism and we all stay trapped. thats absent here.

      if youre a "maker" and want to "resist being told what to do by people who arent" what you want to start is a worker-owned cooperative. @SoftNotWeak @KOOPMode @palantetech are great examples. another world is possible ✌️🏽⚒️
