@body@mastodon.social @acetone_kitten Again, I'm glad y'all doin' the work. It's good work and better than the alternatives. I'm just not bought in 'cause I see the schism on the horizon 'tween the Reds and Blacks and I've had trouble even getting some local SocAlt members to acknowledge the Anarchist position as real, to say nothing of reasonable or meaningful. So, that's worth not fighting for my 25/month back, but it's not worth giving more.

@body@mastodon.social @acetone_kitten I mean, fundamentally, I don't agree with Marx's entire take on the nature of the lumpenproletariat. I tried several times to convey the idea that I was cincerned Marx was unprepared for the full consequences of the industrial revolution and that I agreed with his basic economics but I was much more in the mold of Spooner, Goldman, Bakunin, and Davis. I didn't get back a great deal of support or encouragement for that.

@body@mastodon.social @acetone_kitten Mostly it was the nature and the concept of work as an end goal. I kept asking Jordan about what happens to people when their jobs are automated away and his answer was "they can go find some other productive means of contributing to society" and I asked how many times he'd changed careers in his life because a robot took his job class away from him and he stared at me blankly and quoted from Marx about worker dignity again.

@body@mastodon.social @acetone_kitten That's totally legit, and I agree, but if people are continuing to organize around a concept that is inherently exploitative in its present form and unlikely to exist in the future in a recognizable format because of automation, what happens to workers' collectives?

I agree organization is valuable. I'm just frustrated that SocAlt is baking a poison pill into its treatment program and counting on society not getting well that quickly.

@body@mastodon.social @acetone_kitten I just could never get Jordan to understand why the concept of "work" in a stateless and largely automated society bothered me as much the need to empower "workers." I kept asking, "what's your plan for the day after the robot revolution" and getting back "workers of the world unite". That's not a very helpful answer.

I'm still giving them 25/month for the cause. I'm just not _invested_.

@kelseyhusky Job hunting is dehumanizing and nonconsentually objectifying. It is objectively a terrible process and you have my deepest sympathies at having to face it.

Gettin' my feathers did.

@Soreth @green @mawr I dislike any sense that my time is no longer my own, regardless of the reason for the obligation. Even when I choose to participate, the lingering sense of commitment chafes. That doesn't go away for anthology deadlines, so I doubt it would go away for socialism either.

@Soreth @green @mawr I _also_ hate capitalism. I'm still not a fan of Mondays.

@Soreth @green Sympathies. Mondays are in fact terrible.

Can I just say how weird it is to want to see art of yourself and not just read depictions in text? What's _with_ this?

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz One reason why I try to be aggressive about my transness is because I do pass fairly well. I figure the best way I can help hold the door open for others is to remind people of my history so they can't justify treating other trans women worse than me on a lack of knowledge. I can't stop people from being shitty, but I can help make it more obvious when shittiness is happening.

... Amazon, I looked at _one_ plush peacock. You're a very hlpn website.

Camping trips are so much nicer when you can declare a moral victory after the first night and sleep on somebody's couch afterwards. ^v^

@Sparf whaaaa? First I've heard! Congrats!
