the secret is that all logos are soulless slop. you just become attached to the old ones due to familiarity. when that familiarity is removed, you see it for what it really is.
It's about technological advancement and its augmentation of the human condition (think social media, phones, and the internet). There are people who resist these changes, often mislabelled as 'luddites' (the Luddites of the 19th century specifically opposed automation for its threat to jobs, but were reprehensive of all technology as a part of that).
This meme is just taking those who berate Luddites to their ultimate conclusion, which is a hive mind where all personal autonomy is lost, and it could be argued they cease to exist as a distinct individual. The flesh part of it is merely a means of making it more grotesque.
I believe it's just a view of humanity eventually evolving towards a hive mind that's a single consciousness.
It's not really new. The concept exists in sci fi. First case seems to be in 'The Human Termites' in David H. Keller's 1929 'Wonder Stories' (according to Wikipedia). The specific idea of the flesh nexus is mostly just an evolution of that.
That's the beauty of decentralized activism. You do it your way, I do it mine, and whichever works grows by success. Parallelized trial and error.
I'm so cooked - I thought the pic was a video because I mistook the handles in the glass as a pause icon.
The above agitprop post is not anti-revolutionary, it is just not explicitly revolutionary. It does not make pipelining harder, as it transitions smoothly into agitprop promoting militant protection of communities and community activism which can mesh cleanly with revolution.
Liberals and progressives are both still solidly in the "work within the system" camp but are receptive to community building and counter-establishment action. I've seen them receptive to as far as underground distribution of abortion meds, and even activist vandalism. Most are still shy of the idea of taking up arms, and any mention of 'revolution'. I expect you will end up getting better capture by just omitting talking about revolution and instead just talking about the actual practices and infrastructure that lead to it.
That seems like a pretty arbitrary rule which no other political groups doing pipelining adhere to. Outside messages often contradict as you go deeper with white supremacy, cults, and neoliberal rhetoric. They also constantly leave out the more extreme messaging on the outside and slowly ramp up the other stuff.
I don't doubt you've moved leftists further left, but actually shifting centrists, conservatives, or anyone else does not seem likely with your approach.
Plenty of conservative libertarian farmer types who voted for trump would agree about the importance of community, but they will immediately check out if you even hint at toppling the government, or even mentioning socialized infrastructure. We need to adjust our agitprop so it can at least start reaching out that far, and by doing so we'll be more likely to capture centrists for pipelining. We need a large portion of most countries if we want a global revolution, and we need agitprop that can gain that.
Again, whether necessary or not, you are immediately alienating anyone who isn't ready for revolution by always putting it in the message. If we expect to ever compete with centrist and fascist propaganda, we must implement their same tactics in our agitprop, which means pipelining.
At the same time, what revolution means also varies. Some think hacktivism, asking for Jane, and other counter-establishment movements - for others it's waging a guerilla war against the US government and the upper class. I just want to get the ball rolling, regardless of where it starts rolling.
Just got done installing the new shell from JSAUX! Had some pains to go through that I want to let you folks know about.
First and foremost, if you have the 512GB steam deck that comes stock with an anti glare screen, DO NOT pry from the side that JSAUX shows in their video. Pry from the other side. They are using the standard screen in that video.
For reference, if you look at the 512GB steam deck screen, and go to part only, and look at the rear-side image, there is a "buffer space" on the left side (opposite the ribbon cable) of the screen for prying under the adhesive (for whatever reason they have the screen upside down in the image). On the 64/256GB steam deck screen, the buffer space is on the right side, with the ribbon cable. If you try prying under the right side of the anti-glare screen, you immediately run into the ribbon cable and are likely to damage it. I just barely had to buy a brand new screen to finish this project because of this.
Second thing. When trying to pry the screen off the adhesive, it is very easy to completely slide your spudger directly in between the shell and the screen. You should reference where the positioning triangles are on your empty shell, and pry at one of those locations. It greatly simplifies removing the screen.
Lastly, when removing the triggers, do as shown in the video carefully. The hall effect sensors (tiny little chip on the board under the trigger magnet) used by each trigger on the board are very exposed. if you force one of the triggers off, you can easily knock that hall effect sensor off. I only noticed the little chip sitting on my desk during reassembly. I managed to hand solder the little guy back on and it ain't a pretty job but it works.
Hopefully this hard-knock wisdom helps some of y'all avoid my mistakes.
