almost finished writing my script for the next @nonserviammedia (will have it recorded by wednesday, promise!) and leftists should read way more lit on military theory

probably one of the weirdest parts of post-post-modernism in a WEIRD country is that we've had the potential for massive reorganization of society using computers but it hasn't happened

this kinda gets brushed aside bc most people interact with industrial era institutions...

... most people experience decentralized autonomous through culture first and foremost and not at work or school b/c social media is the only freedom they have

if you aren't in a job that prizes autonomy u probs have a networked social life and a hierarchical work/school life

anyway the reason why is obvious, networks are corrosive to the powers that be and so they try to limit them

even political movements aren't taking full advantage of the possibilities on offer - part of this is that the tools are expensive to build/test tho

anyway this is where military theory is helpful cuz the people doing it tend to be smart and because they have #skininthegame and so poor strategies tend to die out (especially with low resource insurgents, the us military is pretty rigid)

Antoine Bousquet's The Scientific Way of Warfare and John Robb's Brave New War are both great reads and reveal What Could Be w/r/t networked society
