this banning porn thing is another example as to why we as the left should really push more for a decentralized internet - or at the very least decentralized platforms on top it - that aren't subject to the whims of moralist authoritarians
Seems a lot of people's minds have jumped straight to child porn with this, granted it's not something I was really thinking of when I posted it but I guess I'll clarify that I'm just talking about using tools that are already being used by bad people either way for good purposes
I just think being against decentralized networks like these because they're used for terrible things already is kinda like banning knives because people can kill with them. I always side with fighting the acts themselves rather than blanket bans that just leave
law abiding people without potentially helpful tools and those who were breaking laws in the first place anyway in no different situation.

I mean for real, if leftists want any real chance against a modern government they need everything they can get.

Lemme see if I can articulate what’s heavy on my mind this am. It’s painfully clear how uneducated voters are when it comes to red state politics, racism & socioeconomics. 1) red state politics are complexAF. 2) in a lot of cases red states aren’t so red if you were to speak to
folks individually. There are a plethora of reasons red states are red & one cannot speak abt them honestly without speaking on ALL the reasons. But, I find it lolcry when I see red state leftists who will settle for nothing less than /socialist/populist garbage no matter the
consequences to marginalized/vulnerable communities. They really are socialized medicine or bust when they never speak to, only about, the communities being harmed bc of the GOP controlled legislation denying them Medicaid/disability etc right now. We can’t go from red 2 blue.

Maharishi Kannad

Kanad was a sage .Maharishi Kanad first wrote the ideas of this type of self-realization. . These were "hereditary" and used to do austerities by collecting grains of grain and eating it. That is why they were called "Kanad" or "Kanabhuk".
Some have said that they have given a subtle idea of particle i.e. atomic element, hence they are called "Kanad". Some people believe that they used to live in samadhi throughout the day and collect particles in the night. This instinct is that of the "owl" bird.
Whose says that pleased with their austerity, God preached scripture to them as a bird. For this reason, this philosophy is famous by the names of "Aulukya", "Kanad", "Vaishika" or "Pashupat" philosophy.

1/ Today I'm in the #Boston USCIS office trying to--well, more on that in a minute, but I'm trying to do a thing that can only be done in person, and which would have been as easy as walking in and asking for a cashier just a few months ago. Here's how it's gone so far.
2/ USCIS used to offer "Infopass" appointments, a sort of 15-minute slot where you can sit down with an actual USCIS employee to check in on your case, clear up issues, get a stamp in your passport or emergency travel privileges, etc. You could schedule them online

I miss them
3/ Instead of scheduling these #immigration appointments online (or even walking in for emergencies and/or paying fees as I am today) you now have to schedule everything on the phone. This means at least 20 minutes of interminable flute loops before reaching a human.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

Prediction: a huge class action lawsuit by influencers banned or demonetized by social networks will lead to recognizing & protecting:
- accounts as personal property
- posts as free speech

The more livelihoods depend on social influence, the likelier this becomes.
To be featured in this class action lawsuit:

Shadow banning

There are several legal precedents for this:
1) malls are regulated as public spaces and must protect speech and assembly rights even though they're private minnpost.com/cityscape/2015…
2) utilities (gas, water, electric) aren't allowed to cut people off even if they miss bills.
