I actually always hated selling/advertising merch so much. 😭

telling people to buy a shitty overpriced $30 + shipping phone case so I could make like $4.39 off an artwork inspired by the fragile beauty of nature just felt so bad. >_< I’m really glad I don’t feel pressured to sell on those kinds of sites anymore.

#auropost #something something alienation of labor under capitalism #even the arts will be repackaged and sold back to you as shitty plastics #because under capitalism the only worth is that which can be generated for corporate profit…. like these companies that rely on artists #to upload their designs for a pittance of sales price in order to function #sorry for the rant it’s just 7am on a saturday morning and i just hate capitalism 🔥

You really can just say anything on this website. The voting system was designed specifically to disenfranchise domestic abuse victims. People only choose to listen to dnd actual-plays because they are suffering from alienation under capitalism. People are just being brainwashed into thinking they enjoy mindless summer blockbusters by the government. God I wish I was exaggerating any of these but tumblr never met a buzzword it didn't immediately murder and then parade around as a rotting corpse bearing little to no resemblance to what it once meant.

#i want to believe that the 'alienation under capitalism' one was a joke but i don't think it was #actually like 80% of what tumblr ascribes to capitalism falls under this

found 'the way' a really interesting piece of speculative fiction exploring the idea of anti-migrant xenophobic violence being turned inwards towards 'legitimate citizens' when interests of capital are threatened by struggle, but this sequence in the last episode def stood out to me as a neoluddite.

feels connected to this quote from dan mcquillan's 'resisting ai - an anti-fascist approach to artificial intelligence':

Bergson argued that if one accepts a ready- made problem in this way, "one might just as well say that all truth is already virtually known, that its model is patented in the administrative offices of the state, and that philosophy is a jig- saw puzzle where the problem is to construct with the pieces society gives us the design it is unwilling to show us." (Deleuze, 2002, cited in Coleman, 2008) In other words, however sophisticated or creative AI might seem to be, its modelling is stuck in abstractions drawn from the past, and so becomes a rearrangement of the way things have been rather than a reimagining of the way things could be. AI has, in effect, an inbuilt political commitment to the status quo, in particular to existing structures that embed specific relations of power. The absence of different concepts leaves out the possibility of conceiving that things could be arranged differently.

#the way #the way (2024)#the way 2024 #michael sheen #machine learning #artificial intelligence #luddism #look i know everyone is talking about *that scene* but like i think the whole thing is worth an actual watch #clunky and kind of both ham-fisted and politically coy at times but there's a lot of interesting ideas being worked out too #particularly thought it was strong on the ideas of alienation and esp alienated masculinity under capitalism #the role of the myth in the alienated society #surveillance technology obv #and how the rabid xenophobia and racism of capitalist imperialism will always find a scapegoat for its fascist ideology #even among people who had been previously granted access to the 'safe' 'white' group when it suits consolidating & preserving power #oh god and yeah the gothic marxism of it all - the literal ghosts of our militant working-class past

moderation wage labor is inhumane and this is one functional reason social media is a fundamentally insolvent concept

#not that other wage labor isn't categorically inhumane (basically all wage labor under capitalism is inhumane)#but moderation labor... look i can both think facebook sucks institutionally *and* think nobody should have to look at the shit there #especially when they're being paid an absolute pittance and aren't being offered therapy. and especially with graphic gore and csam etc #like look. anyone who does meaningful moderation labor should own a share of the platform they help maintain.#and this is basically never going to happen as long as the owner/rentier/capitalist class exists and owns these platforms #moderation #labor #capitalism #social media #alienation of labor

feeling this way about hdb rn:

#he's a middle aged white man. he's psychic. he's mentally ill. he has post-polio paralysis. he has intermittent seizures. he's a cop.#he beat a man so bad he was permanently disabled. he yearns for closeness so fucking bad. he wants to fix the world so fucking bad.#he wants to kill himself. he doesn't want to be that kind of animal anymore. he's in love with kim kitsuragi. he wanted to be a poet.#so many things about harry du bois are so alienating and uncomfortable. and yet at the same time he is so deeply uncomfortably familiar.#to the existence of suffering under capitalism. to yearning for release. for something better. for as insignificant and flawed as you are.#de tag

No, hold me during momentary, riotous joy

Why must we contain our emotions within ourselves when they flow like running water

Why restrict a waterfall striking a stream - the stream needs the water and the rain may not refill it, so let it flow to prevent its drying

Sometimes the lake is on the verge of disappearing, and a small shower can keep it thriving just a while longer

Embrace and touch each other. The laughter and joy is to one another as a spring. Let it out and let us connect - it may yet help stave off drought yet. Let it flow in abundance so that they may share in the pleasure of letting their joy flow like water in another's dryest days.

#i saw this and just felt very strongly about it #i think alienation under capitalism has really caused us to erect walls around our hearts instead of accepting love overflowi in g

Not true because stewy would eat his human ppl meat food and call it mid and then call Hannibal’s antler decor tacky and then make fun of him on Twitter and then leave. (I have never seen hannibal)

#hbo succession #stewy hosseini #succession hbo #hannibal #but to be fair of all of them stewy is the most likely to eat human flesh idk #something something alienation of consumption under capitalism

my god people really love coming out of the woodwork for any sort of subject that even tangentially relates to compensating artists for their labor to twist it into "wow simp for U.S. IP law much? kekdoubleyou"

just say you don't respect artists & writers with your chest, makes you look less like a little bitch.

#i promise that you can have legitimate concerns about plagiarism without wanting intervention by the federal government #people: automated industry under capitalism is bad bc it weakens & alienates the already weak labor movement #same people: if you say my ai generated big booba biden image isnt real art you're basically a fascist #absolute nonsense non-materialist thinking #sorry to be the kind of wet blanket autistic that doesnt make exceptions once i see the patterns 🤷‍♂️#i said i wasnt going to post about this anymore but the array of responses to the new hbomb video have made me see too many stupid takes #i guess making thousands of $ by word for word repeating the works of small artists and never giving a shred of credit is praxis! amazing!#good god i dont think the western mind can be salvaged. its gonna be posadism isnt it 🙄#and then someone else was mad that the video wasnt about palestine? when hbomb has been a vocal supporter on other platforms #again i promise it is possible to care about multiple issues (1 larger than the other obviously) at the same time #and by that logic there should be no one ever making any videos given that the occupation has gone on longer than YT has existed #ANYWAY...

I don't mean this to be mean so much as I guess encouraging but this wouldn't have to be the yearning website if you all would just go outside and do things instead of being on Tumblr all day

#alienation under capitalism but you are all so clearly not doing jobs instead of this #like it is a self inflicted prison and you can escape

thinking abt destroy boys i wish alexia didn't care so much about cancel culture because all their other takes are good and like. i get destroy boys were unfairly cancelled but its not like their career ended they are literally playing coachella today

#destroy boys #like babe its not real cancel culture does not exist what ur experiencing is social media drama #it does have real effects. call out culture would be a better term #like ur not cancelled ur fine. yes it hurt and it sucks and it made u take like. slightly longer to get famous #but its just byproducts of alienation under capitalism people aren't acting like cops stop saying that
