Zeiten … der #Aufklärung. #Schwellenzeiten sind schwierige Zeiten für die, denen ihr #altesWeltbild entgleitet. Angst ist die Folge. Unnötig, denn andere haben das auch schon vor uns geschafft, würde ich dem #Mainstream sagen wollen … aber … #TeamWissenschaft „We don‘t go back!“

#EverythingIsARemix and the majority set of #MagicalThinking is #culture, #normal, and #mainstream.

A recent discussion about #inclusivity on one of the goth groups I follow got a bit heated, and the admins pulled the plug. Okay, it happens. Hardly anyone wants people screaming at each other in their virtual living room.

Every subculture I've ever been part of has had the same problem. #Punk, #goth, #science #fiction #fandom, #hackerdom, maybe a few I'm not thinking of at the moment.

#Subcultures are *in general* more accepting and inclusive than society as a whole, yes. People who are seen as weird and scary by the #mainstream find groups of other people who have had the same experience. This leads to groups that welcome refugees of all kinds. All to the good.

Then the idea becomes part of the group's identity. Instead of understanding that people in the group tend to be more tolerant than others because of their experiences, they start assuming that being part of the group automatically *makes* them less prejudiced.

"We can't be racist / sexist / etc., that's a mundane problem!" So when these "mundane" #bigotries turn up in the subculture, as they *inevitably* do, they get swept under the rug.

Yeah, well, you can be, and very often you are. Face it. Deal with it. Be better than the people who made your life hell. Or at the very least, stop acting so hurt and surprised when you get called on your own brand of bullshit.

Systeme … Alterung, Verfall, Tod. Innovation, oder einfach #Bewahren. Der HomoSapiens, mit seinem passiven #Mainstream und deren Profiteuren, die aktiven Bewahrer, haben eine andere Antwort, als das Universum, die Evolution. #Courage. #Innovation vor #Ignoranz, denn sonst folgt die Selektion.

Crises … are therefore a part of this universe, separating the wheat from the chaff. Crises create #heroes. To explain this to the #mainstream: @sanders.senate.gov is wheat, a hero. Trump is chaff and can go. All the best for from Germany Fight Oligarchy! #noTrump #noMusk

Dummheit … wenn der #Mainstream zum grossen Teil dumm ist und dieses noch nicht mal weiss, dann ist er ganz leicht zu manipulieren! „Sie wissen nicht was sie tun!“ In Demokratien ist das hoch gefährlich ! Denn durch das Gift kann sie sterben! Die Menge des Giftes bestimmt die Wirkung. #noAFD

Machiavelli … #DivideAndrule funktioniert bei einem #dummenMainstream seit tausenden von Jahren. Auch heute! Solange der #Mainstream nicht merkt, dass er manipuliert wird, ist … #DasTeilen ganz einfach als ungewünschter Trieb darzustellen. Milliardäre zu mehrfachen Milliardären! #TaxTheRich!

Das Gescheite … setzt sich immer und immer wieder zu langsam im #Mainstream durch. Warum? „Was nennen die Menschen am liebsten dumm? Das Gescheite, das sie nicht verstehen.“ Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

Hi there,
Recently I saw "Flow" at the #cinema. A wonderful #movie, refreshingly #different from contemporary #mainstream movies. But my takeaway from it: finished is better than perfect. This comes timely as I struggle with planning comic pages and want them perfect.

MassenManipulation … der passivenPlayer jeder Gesellschaft ist HighTech. Wenn der #Mainstream #Glauben und #Wissen nicht unterscheiden kann, dann es es noch ein Stück des Weges bis zur … #Gerechtigkeit. CuiBono? #TaxTheRich

Ca c'est un article sur #MSN, qui montre jusqu'à la caricature, à quel point les #médias #mainstream sont capables de vous prendre pour des cons.

If you held photos of #Zionists and #Nazis next to each other and told me that corporate needs me to tell them the difference, I'd say they are the same photo.

Let's make this perfectly clear: masks are off, across the board, and if the words "history will be on our side" sounds like hollow right now, we've come to a time when you need to tell your representative to cut the crap.

In #Israel, calls for #genocide have migrated from the margins to the #mainstream

I declare that Mastodon has arrived in the mainstream. There are now doctors here who follow only women. Has anyone had a general yet?

Brot & Spiele. Seit jeher das Rezept des #Geldadel s und der #Feudalherren: „Halte du sie dumm, sagte der König zum Priester, ich halte sie arm.“ Heute nennt man es „ #Entertainment“. We love to entertain you. #Systemkritik #BrotUndSpiele #Mainstream #Massenmanipulation #StayWoke #TaxTheRich

'Non-#monogamous people are just as happy in their love lives as those with only one partner but are not “significantly” more #sexually satisfied than traditional couples, research suggests.

#Polyamory, #openrelationships and swinging are among the many forms of #consensual non-monogamy. Polyamory has become increasingly #mainstream, with a recent poll showing that one in 25 #Britons have experienced it. A further one in 14 said they would be open to exploring it.'

Kriege … und die Manipulation. Der zu unreflektierte #Mainstream, die passivenPlayer, glauben das sogar! HauptKriegsschauplatz: Ein System, das seine Peaks (GeldAdel) nicht dämpfen möchte. Klima, #TaxTheRich & SystemReparatur. Nebenkriegsschauplatz: #Migration. Wie lange halten FakeNews an?
