Oh, 100 percent. There’s much healthier ways to deal with that kind of grief.

I used to work in a shop that could easily be described as “New Age” and it has a tarot reader there. Having looked at the history of tarot but being a complete sceptic, I asked for a reading one time to see for myself how they go.

Afterwards I asked her “it’s a light therapy session, isn’t it?” She responded “mostly.”

That’s pretty much what it is, cheap, basic therapy to help you sort through your thoughts, and shares some similarities with CBT. I’d still recommend therapy if you need it, but I don’t mind people going to a tarot reader if that’s what helps them. But I still think the mysticism side of it can be a problem for a variety of reasons.

It’s one of the tactics of fascism, to get heavily involved in sex. Regulating it, controlling it, and using the overlap with shame to control people. There’s tonnes written on the subject and it’s fascinating, but also terrifying.

The cruelty is the point!

Baseball bats have a flared base, approved.

It’s because they’re alpha version. They haven’t gone through beta testing, been selected as a release candidate, sent to QA and finally released. They’re only alpha.

Porous material and no flared bases, not approved.

So Wolfenstein is fair game because that’s clearly satire, with roided up, mecha Nazis, but this is bad because… robot Thatcher? Sure, that makes sense.

Dvds still account for around half of physical media sales. Far from obsolete.

Paging Mini Minuteman.

I’m visiting Naples at the moment with my Italian boyfriend, and I remarked to him that Naples has a lot of places that people can just hang out without spending money, something that the UK has lost. Part of this is due to the climate, but also corporatism hasn’t hit Italy as hard as other western countries. It really is a shame.

Mastadon has definitely improved it’s user onboarding process. When I first tried, and failed, to use it 3 years ago it was awful. Signing up a year ago was a painless process. It may not be fully ready for the mainstream just yet, but it’s definitely getting there.

Having spoken to so many people about this subject over my many years on this planet, the number of people that would actually want a revolution is so low that it’s effectively zero. They don’t want that kind of change. Having seen how resistant people are to give up their cars for the sake of their children’s future, do you really think people would give up their many comforts to remove capitalism from the world? Fuck no would they.

But simple, small, understandable changes to the current system are much more agreeable. When I’ve suggested a cooperative approach, even the most resistant to change agrees that it would improve the situation for themselves, and that’s a change that can be worked with, without others perceiving that change as coming from an absolute loon.

As others have said in this very thread, the western world is so resistant to revolution that the very idea of it will always be fringe. But cooperatives have been demonstrated to work, they just need to be applied to a much larger degree. It’s understandable to the majority, it doesn’t rock the boat too much, it’s a feasible approach and it removes power from the top and returns it to the workers.
