My mother's pet rabbit just died. Allow me to say: fuck death. Fuck entropy. Fuck the fundamental nature of this universe for creating life and then taking it away.
It just seems like a lot of conservatism consists of making your individual psychological hang-ups everyone else's problem. I don't even mean that they have undiagnosed disorders or whatever, I mean absolutely basic shit like: it's far easier and far more effective to just stop being a racist than it is to turn your entire country into a fascist police state to deport a hundred million people because you don't like their vibe, probably precipitating a ruinous civil war in the process. But they're pathologically incapable of recognizing that some things are "them" problems.
"No but you see, we need to deport all of these shifty ethnic types to restore a high-trust society" says a guy who's pathologically untrustworthy and pathologically incapable of trusting others.
the "language is a social construct, therefore linguistic misinformation is impossible. any claim about language is true if enough people say it is" misconception is of course annoying when applied to stuff like grammar because it's wrong in a nuanced way that's important to explain correctly to avoid spreading even worse ideas about language. but with etymology it's like. no that's not even the part of language that's a social construct, you're making a claim about history. this is something that you really shouldn't think you can just make up
language changes over time but a popular tumblr post claiming that a figure of speech from the bible is actually the short version of its own comeback isn't language changing
btw one of the main tells for false etymology posts online is that they often are presented as something the poster "realized", as opposed to "learned". as though historical facts about how language has evolved are things that you can figure out on your own by thinking about words hard enough

I do get why people talk about "Woke 2" because it's unlikely we will stay on the current level of reactionary conservatism will continue forever, but especially given recent events.
But most posting about it treats the change as happening, like the weather, and not a thing that one brings about with effort. the liberal equivalent of posting about your job on the future commune
Never heard this "Woke 2" thing before but is it not... like... The Trump Administration?
As I've pointed out before, if you take Freddie DeBoer's definition of woke almost all of it applies to the Trump administration and the MAGA movement, save that they are more hostile to journalism and academia.
Like, if you define wokeness in any kind of apolitical way, as a set of tactics or a broad philosophy of how the world functions, the Trump administration is woke as hell.
And if you instead decide to tie it to specific politics, you're stuck with the awkward fact that, like, "People shouldn't be murdered with impunity by government agents" is actually a pretty important and worthwhile political goal.
Anybody who voted for Trump, or any undecided voter pretty much by definition doesn't know jack shit about politics. Their perception of whether you are "Woke" or not hasn't got a damn thing to do with anything you, as a politician or activist, actually do or refrain from doing.
Anti-woke people are, (Present company excluded, of course) generally frustrated not by any specific political idea in "Woke 1"; instead, they are frustrated because they feel (More or less correctly, I'd say) that "Woke 1" robbed them of the feeling of moral superiority that comes from being a victim.
The powerful people in American society don't feel powerful, they feel smothered beneath forces that they cannot control and they feel bereft of purpose or meaning. Every powerful person in this country is simmering with ressentiment. They feel credentialed experts, woke idealogues, and reality itself as a smothering mother-figure who tells them what to do.
They want a politics that makes them feel like somebody understands how smothered they feel and gives them a way to feel like they are fighting back and asserting themselves against Mother.
And a political ideology which tells them that they have reached the apex, and their only role from here on out is to stand aside and let the minorities and women take their place alongside them makes them feel more smothered and helpless, and it doesn't even give them the psychological succor of making them the victims. They can't even get righteously angry about how smothered they are by society.
And if you instead decide to tie it to specific politics, you're stuck with the awkward fact that, like, "People shouldn't be murdered with impunity by government agents" is actually a pretty important and worthwhile political goal.
If "Woke 2" is primarily about stopping the cops from murdering people, discriminating, and shouting racial slurs at suspects then the optics don't matter, we should be embracing it.
If that's what "Woke 2" means there's no debate about whether it's "back" (No, and it was never here in the first place) and there's no debate about whether we should try to bring it back (Yes).
If you try to conceive of wokeness as a set of political priorities, then it turns out a whole lot of those priorities are good things that we should do and it makes a person come off as kind of a coward to even entertain a debate.
If instead you take the Freddie DeBoer path and define it in broad terms, as a kind of strategy or psychological tendency which could be applied to any number of political goals (This is my preferrence), you end up realizing that the Trump administration is woke as hell, in fact way more woke than the Biden administration, or the Obama administration, or for that matter the George W. Bush administration.
Nearly pissed myself laughing earlier when I saw this absolute Looney Tunes truck attempting to transport an oversized mattress down the road with only a couple tiny bungee cords holding on for dear life, while it ballooned out behind the truck like a drag racing parachute:

There's an argument to be had that the concept of the nation-state was a useful tool in the advancement of self-governance against wide-scale empires. It's of debatable historicity, and frankly being ruled by king sucks whether or not he has your skin tone, but the argument is there.
Past the first world war, though, that shit's long since out the window. Nations are fake and therefore cannot really be said to "own" any patch of land.
hate when people say something along the lines of "we must get along so well because you are/i am [some astrological sign]" to me. what are you fucking talking about. we get along because im fucking nice. a decision which i regret when you say shit like that

Hey. If people aren't aware, Microsoft admitted they know who you and where you are at all times and will give your info to the police.
They have a Global Device Identifier (GDID) Tracker that functions as a fingerprint for your PC that can surpass VPNs, proxy servers and countries. Although it can't survive a clean reinstall of Windows (it can survive updates), because Microsoft forces you to go to the internet and log in into a Microsoft account, they will be able to get to you.
Microsoft kept it secret and it was only found out when the FBI tracked a hacker thanks to the information Microsoft gave them.
You should be paying attention to this, and possibly consider moving away from Windows. If a government, especially the US government, doesn't like you for some reason, this could be seriously concerning.
This article specifically notes:
For journalism, activism, or domestic abuse situations, skip Windows and use Linux routed through Tor instead of a commercial VPN. A GDID doesn’t care which VPN you use, only that it’s still the same Windows installation.
GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.
Other important quotes:
What has researchers uneasy is everything else the case reveals. Costin Raiu, a well-known malware researcher, asked on the Three Buddy Problem podcast how much of this exists on other platforms, and whether it is linked more permanently to hardware. Matthew Hickey, another security researcher, called Windows “surveillance software”.
Two things back that up:
There’s no consent screen. A GDID gets assigned when you sign into a Microsoft Account. Apple’s advertising identifier needs an App Tracking Transparency prompt and a visible reset; Android’s works the same way. GDID has neither, and a Windows reinstall only gets you a new number Microsoft can still get back to the same account.
Then there’s activation. Massgrave, the group behind Microsoft Activation Scripts, notes that Windows setup sends hardware info to Microsoft and gets identifiers back, the same tokens later used for Store access and licensing: “It’s impossible to prevent Windows from getting a GDID without breaking activation and UWP app[s].” Anyone who lost a license after swapping a motherboard has already met a smaller version of this.
Here's the complaint filed to the court, the primary source for the case mentioned in the article. You can find mentions of GDID on page 30 of the document or 34 of the PDF.
You can get and use windows 11 without logging in with a microsoft account, as of five days ago. I am a local user on my computer. Don't ask me how to do it, because my computer repair guy did it when he reinstalled windows, but there are tutorials out there. Refuse to connect to internet until you're set up and can use the computer freely.
Refusing to connect to the internet doesn't help. You have to open a Command Prompt (Shift+F10) and typing start ms-cxh:localonly (and pressing enter) during installation when you get to the sign in/create stupid ms account screen
For comprehensive deets, tomshardware explains
Maintain only a local account on your Windows 11 PC.
Unless there's really really specific reasons to subject yourself to windows, please consider installing linux mint instead.
So I've talked about little libraries and pantries to death but this Lil guy popped up in my area recently and it's blown my mind
So I went to the website on the door and it's basically the same thing as free little library where you can pay for a box from them to get it installed OR Build one yourself
