some #nonvoters are #rightWing turds too

we see the #toxicIdealism on the #left, the "it's not perfect so i won't #vote" because we're on #mastodon and in other social silos on the left, which amplifies our impression

still, it's a lot of people like that, enough to make a difference

which is why some of these toxic idealism voices we see are just #geopolitical #trollFarm #psyop, cosplaying their fake #leftWing bonafides and working hard to suppress the vote on the left

while talking with my #grandpa about the #tariffs today, i think i settled on another realization. a lot of the ignorance and uneducation on the right comes from the idea of wisdom aquired with age. when i go to thanksgiving, i know that what i say is valued just as much as what my grandpa says, but i feel like on the right there’s a lot more of the “i’m older than you so i know better and you’re just wrong” mentality.

Back at the very beginning of January I mentioned¹ I'd stumbled across Han Hogan, one half of the artist duo "Namaco" behind "Mega Dreoilín"², considered by one critic as:

...one of the best Irish artworks of 2024 so far... incredibly engaging, brilliantly designed, sophisticated in its form and execution, and unexpectedly moving.

"Mega Dreoilín" is still on display at the Museum of Literature Ireland³.

Han is a dynamo! She's been working with Donal on a new artwork/game/commentary:

...a video game about the Irish economy: why we have found ourselves here and where to go next. Specifically it looks at the idea of neocolonialism by multinationals who don’t pay taxes etc - and the wider effects on people’s lived reality in Ireland.

This work will be part of a group exhibition, "Liquid Urbanisms"⁴, at the Lab Gallery in Dublin city centre from Friday 14 March to Thursday 24 April 2025.

The dialogue is presented in reverse order by time. 39 minutes hannahh! So I’m part a video game making duo, our next exhibition is in the Lab gallery from March. It’s a video game about the Irish economy, why we have found ourselves here, and where to go next. Specifically it looks at the idea of neocolonialism by multinationals who don’t pay taxes etc - and the wider effects on people’s lived reality in Ireland. We currently have a video game called Mega Dreoilín which is in the museum of literature for the next few months. Anyway I need these for the ‘set’ that I’m building up for the video game, it’s going to be the bedroom of a 90s hacker, they type of person who would have set up Pirate Bay etc. I can guarantee that I’ll give this to you after. But if you don’t want to go down that route then it’s fair enough if we continue the bidding 44 minutes melk2017 Could you tell me more about the exibition? 45 minutes hannahh!

I was basically reminded by a certain David today, whose fighting a certain multinational Goliath, that #tech people just can't see the forest for the trees... and also that the social antennas are a bit lose, AND THAT'S COMING FROM ME.

In any case, I'm gonna sign up for a certain #left leaning party to formulate ideas with, because even people who are #leftwing and #techie have a tendency to represent #multinational and #corporate interests - without even knowing it.

President #DonaldTrump is on the #WarPath again, this time railing against the #media and publishers whose stories he doesn’t like.

#Trump took to his platform #TruthSocial ( aka the #MinistryOfPropaganda ) to suggest that any negative #press is a result of #LeftWing media attacking him for the “Best Opening Month” of presidency the U.S. has ever seen.

WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 28: U.S. President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office before signing an executive order related to regulating social media on May 28, 2020 in Washington, DC. Trump's executive order could lead to attempts to punish companies such as Twitter and Google for attempting to point out factual inconsistencies in social media posts by politicians.

We (the rest of the #world) all should start untangling ourselves from #US #onlineservices. It’s also clear that #TikTok is, for some reason, cuddling up to #Trump. I’m not sure what #China is up to, especially since they are a #socialist country pushing #fascism on their app. And don’t think for a second #Google won’t bury #leftwing and #critical voices even more than they already do. Additionally, now they they are all cozy with the #trumpregime they will hand over all their data so they can suppress dissidents, both inside and outside the #US. #socialmedia #siliconvalley #dictatorship #America #bigtech #tech
