Author of You’re Not Crazy, the World Is: How Narcissistic Leaders Have Perverted Morals and Countries - available online everywhere.

We need to move fast on climate and we’re still going in the wrong direction. We cannot get there without social justice and equality - all eco and justice groups need to join forces.

I blog occasionally about how narcissists and other sociopaths are literally driving us off the climate cliff. 1% of the population but they occupy most positions of power….

If American #psyop propagandized #BC actually elects a #populist, #racist, faith based hate government we are truly in for a civil war on the West coast.

I rarely believe the polls though, as modern polls are often rigged by Right Wing owned media to push their dream narrative.

These #Populist Conservatives can’t see that the #MapleMAGA wave is breaking in the States and will soon break in #Canada.

I’m done with the prospect of a divisive Conservative government destroying the culture we have built while forcing their Christian ideals on the rest of BC.

If they manage to win by harnessing racial hate and anti lgbtq+ narratives, #BritishColumbia has truly chosen strife over peace, division over unity and populist hysteria over sanity.

Those of us left will respond in kind. Eff these populist, hate driven politicians. Their day in the sun is done, we will not let their cancer of hate destroy our province.

This isn’t about politics anymore, it’s about a culture war supported/created by #American interests, stoked by power hungry, desperate #Conservatives and supported by washed up former #Liberals helping them attain power.

This is what happens when the BC Liberal (United) party just admits they are cosplay Conservatives and line up to stack the deck against the Left.

We now NEED #ProportionalRepresentation or #RankedChoice voting to prevent an inevitable culture war, both Federally and Provincially.

Without it we will continue to fight each other, in turn opening the door to American fascists who will exploit that divide they helped create to further shatter our country’s resolve.

Stay strong BC, I still have hope in a better outcome but am preparing for the worst. Push back the hate or end up wallowing in it.

"Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write."

One of the lessons that many in software strangely never learn is that breaking something while being an asshole gets a very different response from people than breaking something while not being an asshole

And, given how “AI” continues to pour shit on the rest of society, using LLMs is widely going to be perceived as an asshole move

For better or for worse, using LLMs in OSS is going to be seen as an adversarial move that undermines community building

#ANTIFA breaks up a prolonged #oligarch enabled gathering of #WhiteSupremacists and #fascists.

Turns out the Abyss is your TV. Not entirely surprising, I suppose.

1991 Introduction for the Ecology of Freedom by Murray Bookchin:

"Perhaps the most compelling real fact that radicals in our era have not adequately faced is the fact that capitalism today has become a society, not only an economy. The rivalries, the grow-or-die mentality, and the chaos of the marketplace have percolated from the realms of commerce and industry, which were once largely confined to economic lite, into the daily life of familial, personal, sexual, religious, and community relationships. This invasion is reflected by the often unadorned egotism, consumerism, careerism, mutual suspicion, and highly transitory forms of human intercourse, so widespread today. In the decades that followed the end of the Second World War, we have seen a development that has not only produced the anomie of the "lonely crowd;" ...
