    I didnt bring stalin up. The comment i was replying to misattributed (or “sounds like”'d, if you prefer) a quote from Zuckerberg to Stalin. That read to me as right-wing rhetoric, pushing red scare, equating Communism, the society which is classes, moneyless, stateless, and flattening that concept into “been-tried-already-Stalin’s-Tyranny”

    Which is pretty gross considering the big picture; the extensive harm which not only Zuck/ FB has done, not only by technocratic bro billionaires and corpo-owner social media as a trend, but the overall economic system and specifically imperial-colonial project which it is an extension of (colonizing of minds and thought, of our attention, to advertise to, for quarterly profit and power coupons) – all the while doing their best to promote apathy.

    To prefigure a betted society, we must be able to dream. The only thing doomerism does is give the owning class that apathy while they bulldoze over Sudan, Palestine, Rojava

    Or at least thats how I see. All of the power and pleasure to all of the people. Hope that clears things up.

      Did you reply to the wrong comment? Because my comment you replied to said nothing about Stalin or Zuckerberg or any of that shit. I literally have no idea what you’re talking about.

        My initial comment in this thread was in response to someone (maskenox?) conflating the two. (Neither of which i am fond of, to be abundantly clear)

        Edit: also, yes? When i went and folded all the comments…ig your initial reply was also to the same comment? Even though the voyager app shows them as diff colors…yellow and orange…doesnt make it as obvious and it isnt clear when it indents and when not… 💀
