Even better, it's easy to replicate, so with enough of a mutiny it loses all it's value

Just like all my hopes and dreams

I remember watching a clip from “The Network” where Jeff Daniel’s is interviewing an expert on climate change. It was when it was too late - and the expert lore or less said so.

It struck me as prescient - that despite all the warnings we’d be shocked when it came and it was irreversible.

Tbh it came sooner than I expected.

Haha, oh really wow - I’ll have to give it a listen

Think it’d end up being astroturfing if anything - forum bombing positive sentiment, opinion etc

I’m sorry you feel that way, but I get where you’re coming from.

Zoom out a little though and it’s consequences are war, famine, and desecration.

If not the human suffering, consider eons long chains of biology that’ll be wiped off the face of the earth as climates shift quicker than their ability to adapt

I hope you’re right.

I feel ratcheting tensions. The rise of far right, anti-immigration policies. The new Cold War between China and the Us forcing countries to pick sides. Tariffs. Cyber warfare. Extrajudicial killings.

Im expecting a “We didn’t start the fire” 2025 edition

That was fantastic- sums up the stages pretty well

I wonder if the internet, possibly the worlds best accomplishment in cooperation, can survive a post-globalist world?

Perhaps it’s the purist expression of the wave in optimism for liberalised trade before it crested and rolled back out to sea.

Awesome, thank you!

I tried mastodon very briefly about 6mths ago, and it seemed pretty quiet ala diaspora - has it filled up a bit now?

No pressure, but get it wrong and you’ve got the blood of that young rider on your hands
