Racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, and nationalism should not be tolerated.

Religion should not be used as a tool of political leverage or an excuse for bigotry.

Self-sufficiency is something we should all work on, especially as the global economy and environment continue to break down. This doesn't mean stockpiling guns and becoming a wasteland raider. Collectivism and mutual respect is the only way to survive.

Anything "web3", "blockchain", or "crypto" is a scam, and I'm not interested in hearing your justifications for their existance. I'll admit some of the underlying theory is interesting, but that cannot survive contact with reality.

Finance capital is a useless, destructive, and oppressive force.

The "tech industry" and "startup culture" are the products of finance capital. They do not represent any truly human ingenuity or enterprise, just the psychopathic tendencies of "founders" and their followers.

Decentralization and federation are neat concepts, but are rife with issues. The further you get into it, the more I find it's ideals reflect the flawed logic of libertarianism and capitalism ("don't like the instance you're on? Just make your own or find another one!"). Not everyone has the skills, time, or resources to be a "perfect rational agent" within a decentralized system.
