I want to take this apart piece by piece because i think every singke thing you say here is wrong, but reading this i get the impression you haven’t read a single fucking one of the things you’re talking about, including my comment.
Still skipping the asimov thing too, while you retreat into ‘rationality bro’ and defer to someone else.
You’re not correct, but you’re not even wrong; you’re just parroting.

I seem to remember one where they caved.

Even the ideas were nothing too special. His writing was fine, but yeah, not really more than ‘fine’
And he was, to put it mildly: extremely shitty to women, whom he did not consider to be people, to a degree that stood out even in the like 1950s.
Might’ve also done some huac snitching? But definitly check that, low confidence.

anti stalin grudge
Which he picked up from a soviet commisar while fighting fascists in the 30s in spain. Known for his talent with grenades. Suffered sone pretty severe injuries.
pro british imperialism
Okay so i don’t know everything abput the man but did you read his account of being a colonialist shitbag ‘on the occasion of the killing of an elephant’? It’s not a fucking endorsement.
not SCIENCE fiction
Sure, yeah, psychology and sociology don’t count. Le’guinn never wrote a scifi novel.
It’s the lasers and rocket ships that make the stories good, not the new relations and forms of person and society rgat they enable stories of. Obviously.
talking about how he sucked as a person to criticize an idea an author expressed, then citing asimov
So do you hate women and think rape is fine and asimov was just a cool guy, or are you the dumb kind of tankie who never learned to think for yourself and just repeats shit to sound smart without knowing what any of it means?

freedom
Literally the worst
privacy
Bad. Regularly snitches to the bad guys.
usability
Arguable. If everything you own is in their ecosystem and up to date.
Nobody uses apple because of this shit. It’s all dtatus and branding.

Encrypted doesnt necessarily matter. I dont trust apple to not give up the keys.

Dont defend either of them please.
If there were any alternative, we wouldn’t have these problems.

Mechanisms of manipulation and control are getting more and more sophisticated and it’s really fucking sad.
Its like watching someone overdose. It sucks. And we don’t have language about it, even shitty language, like we do for drugs, so it’s hard to even talk to people about.

From ~windows 2000 to windows arguably either 7 or 8, kinda, for some things.

No. I mean, there’s a plave for low art, but we’re much better at artlessslop these days.
Decoupling art from content the same way we decoupled content from physical media.

Graeber really gets unto the mess of it all in ‘pirate enlightenment: the real libertalia’
If you want something much less complicated and academic, i think the podcast ‘cool people who did cool stuff’ has a few episodes on it.

Most efficient system.

Actual golden age purates tended to be disproportionately queer and gender transgressive, serve on extremely multiethnic crews, and maje policy/decisions democratically.
- Comment on I may swear like a pirate, but I'm a fucking PRINCIPLED pirate 22 hours ago:
Many golden age pirates were actually kind of like that
Big multiethnic crews. Lots of gayness, transgressive gender identities, liberatory politics. It was extremely punk, but with very very slightly better music and substantially worse booze.

can’t idemtify them all
Kill all the slave owners, all the ss men or party members. You’ll get close enough.
make you a monster too
My great great great great grandmother passed down a story about how she hid a bunch of family money from the union army and used her children to do it. She, and every single one of those children, should have been gutted. If the whole war were fought like that: e reconstruction would not have been rolled back. We wi not have got the nazis. We certainly wouldnt have trump. Would’ve beem worth it.
Im not talking about hunting down a psychological tendency. Im talking about people who join the atrocity party and self identify. There will always be shitty people. You don’t need to kill every shitty person. You need to kill every monster who participates in atrocities and imo thwir entire family, barring those who disowned them before it was ‘cool’ (so like that one cousin of trump’s, musk’s daughter. Visible or verifiable opposition before their failure was certain) And any oskar schindler types. I’d argue still sterilize them.
collateral damage
Not as much as leaving them alive does literally everu single fucking time holy fuck look up yje years of lead and tell me that was worty it. Live through the next five years and find the death camp i die at and scream that at the mass grave they dump me in.
focusing on family lines
It’s about identity and persevution complexes, not to stop every possible person being shitty. Im not for killing people to stop being shitty. I’m for ending fascism slavery etc. Genuinely ending it. You know we still have slavery here, right? That it never really wemt away? Is the reason our emtire apparatus of state power is structured like that?
people who might be
Im okay with that, and if youre strict, id probably get caught in that. But I’m really not expecting to see the end of this. I’m going to die in the camps. The onsa thay wouldn’t exist if we had killed every last member of every slave owning family in the confederacy, or every single SS man and its family after worls war 2.

Yes but none of the ones ive ever talked to will offer me colorful feathers and beaks for mine.
- Comment on An alien invasion 1 day ago:
Power vacuum
This is a concept that is treated as universal, and its really not. Its treated as unavoidable even in situations where it could occur, and it’s really not.
And in fact, killing all the hyper-authoritarians (or at least all of that kind of authoritarian-the irredeemable monster kind) and dismantling everything they built is the best way to stop that.
I find this phrase is almost without exception deployed to justify keeping momentum on horrible shit. It’s a massive red flag, almost a logical fallacy in itself.
just killing
Nope, gotta destroy their institutions and hunt down survivors, dispossess their heirs completely, at minimum, but i think if they’re old enough to talk they’re old enough to hang in this case. The harm of letting them live is too great.
we need an already
Yeah thats optimal, but humans do actually have pretty good instincts for that. Like, shockingly good. Enough to bridge major gaps.
grumbling about
It’s usually tjose fuckers or their heirs doing the grumbling. Kill them; it wont be an issue.
I can’t help but notice you’re broadly suggesting we should avoid the result we’ve gotten every time by nit behaving too differently than we have every time in the past. I think we should try something different.
- Comment on An alien invasion 1 day ago:
Tbf if we had ever made any attempt to not immediately put the fascists/slavers right back in power as soon as possible, and maybe kill them instead, things might not have gone this poorly.
What im saying is: end some family lines this time.
