Anonymous but sincere; Cypherpunk and never knew. Be kind, be patient, seek understanding. Making real connections to people and the world is how we resist. Encrypted chat on White Noise. [Insert warrant canary text here]

Nothing like snuggling up to a song you've been listening to almost your whole life on a lazy afternoon.

How did I not know that cypherpunk was a thing, and it describes me perfectly?!

Oh, FFS!

Seeing a lot of "if it doesn't affect you, why do you care?" talk around #pridemonth.

Things that don't affect me (not cemprehensive):

1. Child rape

2. Uyghers in Chinese concentration camps

3. Sex slavery

4. African genocide

But, I care about them and we should be talking about them.

I want to give people the benefit of the doubt, and think that they are probably feeling defensive. But, the tactic they're using is designed to shut down open discussion.

Nothing is beyond criticism. If you're telling people they shouldn't have an opinion on something, you need to take a hard look at your biases and goals.

If we didn't enjoy discussion, we wouldn't be on social media.

You may be isolated from it because you work in a small business. But, in the corporate world, it is pushed on us hard.

Also, there are a lot of videos going around of parades where children are being exposed to adult content in public. And, others revealing some pretty horrific things about the affirming care industry regarding children. Which tends to get people bothered.

Exploitation of workers does not equal capitalism.

Capitalsim is the free exchange of goods and services, with prices and pay determined by a free market.

If you have a manager under socialism secretly stealing from the gov't and/or the employees, that is just corrupt socialism, as there is still no free market.

If a free market, say a capitalist black market (goods, services, and labor), were to arise, there would be a case along the lines of what you are suggesting. But, this, then, would just be a rejection of socialism, replacing it with capitalism.
