  • Utopia maybe impossible, but improvement is always better.

    Also, almost? Right now I’m accessing this through a VPN because my government has mandated that every single social media website or website with a search feature put up an age gate for anything pornographic or has “sensitve content” for the “protection of children”, meaning to operate in the UK, every social media company has to higher a third party to scan a picture of your face or your passport or ID.

    Also, This same government actively wants to strip away basic rights like access to public toilets, hospital treatment, support services, and even things like sports, and believe I and others like me are such a threat they’re gonna bring back Section 28.

    So yeah, Dystopia is here.








  • Amongst socialists back then there was a big prohibition movement. The Scottish Prohibition party, who had one MP until the 30s was a firmly socialist party and there was a form relationship between the Temperance movement in The UK and Socialist ideals. Basically the reason was because they saw alcohol as a tool against the working class wherein the ruling class kept them addicted and drunk to prevent them from self improvement while making money off them.

    Even today, a lot of Anarchists are straight edge for similar reasons, plus the idea that drinking and drugs means they close control of their faculties and this, autonomy.







  • I want you to look around the world political landscape around tech and ask yourself if you think most of these chucklefucks even understand what they actually say. They only care that they won’t like it and want it gone and think writing that down on special paper makes it go poof.

    I live in a “developed” country and my country past the online safety act and most of the people who did so didn’t know what a VPN was. Three previous administrations, The Blair-Brown one, the conservative one, and the latest one, have all floated the idea of banning encryption in some form. Do you really think the Nepali government understand what Mastodon is other maybe “it’s a bit like Twitter”.

    Most people in Nepal with any sort of sense have a VPN to get around this.
