implementing the latter rights would likely require not a freeing of the source code but a controlling of it in an explicitly structured and political manner

the major insight of Marx as i have read him so far is that the liberal so-called rights of man (for example, the four freedoms of the free software movement) are concerned entirely with individual rights to do individual things with individual objects (you may run the software, you may study the software, you may share the software, you may modify the software and share your modifications)

as opposed to expressing rights of people *in community*, (for example the right to participate in a software community, the right to have that community take into account your human needs, the right for your work within that community to be free of alienation or exploitation…)

“feels a bit like they are teaching white people how to defend their positions against diversity activists which seems like maybe not what their work should be”

sometimes i write zelda fics to poke fun at cis white women, in which case Zelda is a cis white woman par excellence, but other times i do not, in which case it is really hard for me not to question her cis womanhood

can i write a Zelda without making her trans? yes, i have. will i??

“they had that moment of oh no! we're holding hands! but then they just… didn't let go”

she was also like “what do you mean Eiscue is the penguin pokémon how the fuck do they know what a penguin is” so i guess she's a real pokémon fan now

the scene of “oh no” after chloe wakes up after a night of sleeping with dawn and all i could think about was caina in meteor garden (2018)

« We are PHILOSOPHICAL contemporaries of the present without being its HISTORICAL contemporaries. »

« The criticism dealing with this matter is criticism in HAND-TO-HAND combat, and in such combat the point is not whether the opponent is noble, equal, or INTERESTING, the point is to STRIKE him. »

« In its struggle against these conditions criticism is not a passion of the head but the head of passion. It is not a lancet, it is a weapon. Its object is an ENEMY it wants not to refute but to DESTROY. For the spirit of these conditions has already been refuted. In and for themselves they are objects not WORTHY OF THOUGHT but EXISTENCES as despicable as they are despised. Criticism itself does not even need to be concerned with this matter, for it is already clear about it. Criticism is no longer an END IN ITSELF but simply a MEANS. »

« The state abolishes distinctions of BIRTH, RANK, EDUCATION, and OCCUPATION in its fashion when it declares them to be NON‐POLITICAL distinctions, when it proclaims that every member of the community EQUALLY participates in popular sovereignty without regard to these distinctions, and when it deals with all elements of the actual life of the nation from the standpoint of the state. Nevertheless the state permits private property, education, and occupation to ACT and manifest their PARTICULAR nature as private property, education, and occupation in their OWN ways. Far from overcoming these FACTUAL distinctions, the state exists only by presupposing them; it is aware of itself as a POLITICAL STATE and makes its UNIVERSALITY effective only in opposition to these elements. »
