He called piracy a 'successful form of distribution'
Herzog: “Piracy has been the most successful form of distribution worldwide, if someone like you steals my films through the internet or whatever, fine, you have my blessing.”
She's right and I'm scared
This implies a liquid form of bread

Nature is not the enemy. It is the spider that is familiar, the sterilized room that is the poison.
I was told recently about a school that was shamed into changing its school motto. The motto was “I hear, I see, I learn.” Nothing wrong with that per se. Unfortunately the motto was in Latin, and the Latin for “I hear, I see, I learn” is “audio, video, disco”.
What the fuck that’s the best school motto ever change it back
Your yearly reminder that “I learn through suffering” can be translated into Latin as “Disco Inferno.”
learn, baby, learn!

Capitalism is getting very much more dystopian very quickly
It’s a matter of time before companies start their own Pod-communities and ‘strongly encourage’ workers to live there and set up rules like no alcohol and no defamation of the company in the Pods.
As nightmarish as this is (and it is), this is only new for documented white people. From seasonal archiculture workers to construction workers to sweatshops, ‘sleep where you work and live your whole life controlled by your boss and coworkers pressured to spy on you’, has been very much a thing for a looooooooong time.
This is one of many things capitalism has always done to workers and now they’re going “hhmmmm.. if I can do this to some workers, why not all of them? if I present it as a hip new way of urban living people for the ‘freelancers’ that I exploit, I might even be able to do it without the armed guards that run my sweatshops and plantations.”
I don’t really get the issue with the “sex is banned” part tho
I don’t want to hyperfocus on that part because ‘live without privacy, convert your bed into a desk by day and just work work work’ is distopian enough as it is and I don’t really want to distract from a conversation about the new fuedalism to just talk about sex.
But can you not understand how that monotomous soulless life defined by work becomes even more soulless when you are not permitted to engage in (what is for most allosexuals) one of the most intimate moments of recreational joy and interpersonal connection? & how much it says about our lack of power when we live in places that control our sexual and reproductive lives?
well yeah, but it’s communal living. I mean you’re spot on with the rest but idk, a ban on sex when you share your living quarters with like two dozen other people? it doesn’t seem that deep tbh.
You know, I’ve spend time in socialist and anarchist self-organized communal living spaces where lots of people shared bedrooms because they liked it and all these spaces had a place for sex. They all acknowledged that that was a thing many humans loved and valued and so they organized to make that good thing possible. Some had a spare room with a lock on the inside that couples could use, others had dorms where sex was okay and dorms where it was not so people could choose where to sleep. It is not difficult to have communal living for those that like sharing bedrooms and also organize a place for sex.
This, however, is not communal living. This is crammed, dehumanized corporate living. This is squeezing as many people as possible into a space defined by work. The inhabitants own nothing in this space and have no control over their environment, they can’t even paint the walls let along organize the space to meet their needs. In such a space, sex is made impossible on purpose:
“We built the pods facing each other so the community polices itself”
The people that made this could have organized privacy and opportunities for sex. They deliberately did not do this, they dilerabetely designed the space for minimum privacy. The purposeful banning of sex from this space is just one part, but one very obvious part, of the way these spaces are not build for humans, they are build for employees whose whole identity should be limited to their productivity.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, mining communities and factory towns encouraged workers to join their ranks by offering company housing and company stores, where workers and their families wouldn’t have to worry about money, because their rent and whatever they wanted from the store would simply be deducted from their paychecks.
Didn’t take long for workers to realize they were spending over 100% of their paychecks, and would have to work the rest of their lives in soul-crushing poverty to pay the company back.
Slavery isn’t gone, it just changed its name.
Adding to what @robstmartin has to say:
“I sold my soul to the company store” isn’t just a line in a song, it’s about Miner’s Scrip. When coal mines forced their employees to live in company housing, paid them in company credit usable only in the literal company store, and they charged astronomical rates for rent and food.
Most miners ended up in multi-generational debt because their wages were so low they could not afford the basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter and ended up owing so much to the company store their grandchildren would essentially be enslaved to the company to pay off the debt.
This becomes especially chilling when you realize Cheeto Supremo ran on a policy of “bring back coal jobs”.
This is just deadass feudalism 2 Electric Boogaloo
Gilded Age exploitation popping up at a time when Gilded Age inequality has returned. That’s not a coincidence. I can’t speak for the Tories, but in the US bringing ^^^THIS^^^ back has been the goal of the Republicans since the New Deal.
By the way, the lyric isn’t “I sold my soul to the company store.” It’s “St. Peter, don’t you call me, ‘cause I can’t go/I OWE my soul to the company store.” Which is a hell of a lot bleaker, and, given how expensive company stores were and how deeply in debt employees could be when they died, painfully accurate.
Here’s a playlist of pre-1970s American bluegrass music about how much coal mining is trying to kill you – you worked for a company, lived in company housing, shopped at company stores, owed the company money, and got to die of black lung disease at the age of 50: https://www.allmusic.com/album/music-of-coal-mining-songs-from-the-appalachian-coalfields-mw0000490027
We don’t need that to be a revived economic model for the future, thanks.
look, denying people privacy and sex is fundamentally how you deny people ownership of their own bodies. people living here aren’t living ON company property, they are living AS company property.
however cool you are with judging other people’s sexuality, maybe think about why corporations are so intent on restricting people from having one at all.
It’s a very short hop from “live in the company pod; no sex allowed” to “hey, we think X would be a great partner for you. Marry them and we’ll give you each a $50/week bonus and a private room.” And another very short hop to, “Bonus goes up to $100/week when pregnancy is confirmed.”

I keep thinking of that, "Everyone's sexy but not one's having sex" commentary about celebrity culture
Every line in this article is just so spot on
The human body has become a strange contradiction at the heart of the modern blockbuster. Sexy, yes. But sexual? No.
“A body is no longer a holistic system. It is not the vehicle through which we experience joy and pleasure during our brief time in the land of the living. It is not a home to live in and be happy. It, too, is a collection of features: six pack, thigh gap, cum gutters. And these features exist not to make our lives more comfortable, but to increase the value of our assets. Our bodies are investments, which must always be optimized to bring us… what, exactly? Some vague sense of better living? Is a life without bread objectively better than a life with it? When we were children, did we dream of counting every calorie and logging every step?”
"Now, we are perfect islands of emotional self-reliance, and it is seen as embarrassing and co-dependent to want to be touched. We are doing this for ourselves, because we, apropos of nothing, desperately want to achieve a physical standard set by some invisible Other in an insurance office somewhere."
