At first it seems nice...I played with it for a few hours in an established project and didn't mind. But the I thought about using it from scratch and I'm just baffled anyone does. It's like if CSS was slightly more abbreviated but you couldn't use classes so every style has to be specified on every component.
It's so sinister. Latching on to the real history of blood libel to not only reinforce the idea that liberal media lies as a matter of routine, but to simultaneously use that reinforcement to build up the idea that liberals are either secretly antisemetic or too led around by the nose by propaganda to realize their antisemitism.
Of course it's deeply antisemitic for netanyahu to do this. It's also going to be extremely effective.
What the other guy said. Look up the "Revolutions" podcast and start at episode 11.1. I really like it because it's sort of him distilling a lot of the patterns he's noticed studying revolutions into fiction. A lot of fun.
On the one hand, it's always concerning to see the rise of threats to imprison political opposition.
On the other hand, this is a pivotal moment. This is one of those things that you could lift straight from Andor or the Martian Revolution series or any other radical fiction because it's just cookie-cutter dropped in to so many revolutions of history that it just almost has to happen. The milquetoast electoral reformer gains some success in the light of the horrors of the authoritarian regime, the regime loses its shit and responds with an over-the-top militant reaction, which in turn triggers an actual militant defense capable of breaking the stalemate of liberalism.
In other words, for those of us who want revolution in some form or another, who see the American empire and all empires as systems of oppression, they're playing right into our hands with this response, assuming New Yorkers & Angelinos and other Americans are capable of effective resistance.
Why don't you start it? I have experience in cooperative development and could help provide some guidance on getting started (for free of course; DM me if you like)
Or you could fire your boss and form a worker cooperative run on consensus based decision making. Worker cooperatives succeed more than "traditional" businesses and have higher pay for their workers^1, despite being at a systemic disadvantage for seed capital. You don't need an ai to boss you around, you and your coworkers can make collective decisions without any boss to speak of.
Tried it. It was terrible. Reverting.
