wraptile@aral and it's kinda working. For the first time in a long while people start to care about content quality, legitimacy and intellectual property.
It's almost like #accelerationism works?
@wraptile “If we pollute the environment even more, maybe people will care more about the environment.”
@aral yes! It's called the "comfort zone" and I'm not sure whether you're being wilfully ignorant or have some sort of agenda?
דאיקייט@wraptile @aral I don't have any political economy theories based around "comfort zones." We can talk in terms of class interest, capitalist superstructure, or even Overton Windows, but all I can associate with "comfort zones" is individualistic self-help coaching techniques designed to encourage individuals' discipline.
Edit: I "believe in" the attached definition, absolutely.
@wraptile I’m drawing attention to the logical fallacy behind the argument that we must destroy something for people to care about it (or, even worse, that we defend our destruction of said thing as altruism to bring about the aforementioned effect).
And get lost with that “agenda” talk. You’re barking up the wrong tree.
