Good bit

That’s an interesting way of putting it

Juggalos are still identified as a domestic terrorist org, probably for this exact reason

I played it a long time ago, saw it in a bargain bin when short on processing power and money. Really enjoyed it!

Do you have projects that you personally admire? I assume you are choosing to donate to open source because you have an affinity for it. Personally I donate to political causes, particularly ones where I participate in/contribute to. Projects where I can get in the discord and talk to people, learn and really experience the practical side. I’m in a few Foss discords as well, so maybe joining some communities and getting to know people working with it, maybe learn to work with it yourself, will help and inform your decision.

It is way too common to confuse the abstractions we use to understand reality with reality itself. Like the scientists who work with this stuff are really consistent in keeping the two separated, but the moment a theory gets in the hands of a journalist or god forbid a politician, it starts wreaking havok

It isnt moral bankruptcy, it is systematic. The capitalist who produces profit stays in business, the capitalist who does not goes bankrupt. It isnt morals of individuals, the dehumanization of the poor by the rich is a symptom of a system that prioritizes profits over humanity.

Capitalism is, among other things, a system of forced competition.

I’m glad to hear you are on the right side of it. But in order to be effective we have to name the actual problems. I am above all a humanist, and certainly the capitalist class contains some vile and hateful individuals. That is more clear now than ever before. But we are not made rich or poor by our morality; our morality comes from the conditions that dictate whether we are rich or poor.

Even individualism is structural.

The distribution of productivity gains and development of new technology are intrinsically and historically connected. New technology is only developed in order to exploit workers, either to make individual something which was previously socialized, or to directly replace workers with industrial advances; and in many cases both.

Marx said it best: Machines were the weapon employed by the capitalist to quell the revolt of specialized labor.

This was true for the Luddites and it is true today.

My search needs a keyword, usually I just look for the letter e, and I didn’t find anything super similar to what I drew,

BUT!

I absolutely love your septogram, I have a fascination with polygons, and I love this! Also your character art style is very cool and relaxed, kinda reminds me of Matt Groenig’s style from Simpsons or Futurama, but in no way derivative, just sort of accessible and fun, cartoony but expressive. I’d love to see more!

Anyway thanks for the comment

I’ve drawn this over and over in my notebooks for years, usually to signify the end of one thought and the beginning of another. It developed out of little sketches I do in my notebooks.

So for me it’s like an ouroborous, a continuous practice made up of continuous beginnings and endings. The sort of interrupted geometry and impossible nature of it looks like a folded looping, a progression that is mystified and not immediately apparent from my perspective.

Ive honestly never put a lot of thought into the meaning, its a little doodle, but I keep coming back to it, ive practiced it and tried different iterations until I found one that felt right. It has some meaning, but as its inventor I dont really know what it is. And that seems like the point.

This but unironically

The Comintern has reviewed this comment and found it quite funny

Its for the best

As a true audiophile, I can’t honestly answer this question since I have to exaggerate the size and quality of my banana

I vehemently disagree with many worlds theory. I think its a total mindfuck. However I do think that the future influences the present and the past.
