  • Having communication tools that avoid big tech is resistance. It doesnt require doomsday to be useful. Tech companies are luring people into giving away too much data by reducing our available options. Creating alternatives is resistance to that movement.

    Just recently i was looking to buy a second hand fridge and realised that most people around here advertise those in facebook pages. I even tried to recreate an account after years of not going there. But it asked me to scan my face… just to create a fucking account to view those fridge posts… Since i dont want that, im locked out of that market…

    I feel like instead of changing the name, we should stop justifying it on “equality”. The purpose of the movement is to stop a form of oppression. The name of the movement clearly takes the side of the oppressed, recognizing the oppression. Saying that the movement is for “equality” backpedals the recognition that an oppression exists and the discussion shifts to another point of derailment like “but arent men and women naturally different in some ways? is equality actually appropriate? what is equality?”

    The productive feminist discussions are in debating the oppressions that exist and how to change them, not getting tangled in teological discussions about “nature” and “equality”.

    I dont see how they were arguing for subdivisions. There are in fact many problems to solve, and we should unite to solve them. But if we are talking about a specific problem, we should use specific language. This shouldnt prevent us from seeing that there are common roots to all these problems.
