  • There is no or a very small impact of regulation on the number of exiled people coming in country. However, making more people illegal let bosses exploit them more. Those workers could not sue their boss because of those regulations, and most conservative unions rely unfortunately too much on legal solutions.

    So if a country couldn’t limit immigrations, it could exploit more people and bybass human right with regulations against exiled people.

    Yes, this is only positive for far-right bosses, and awful for others. But guess who decide in a capitalist economy ?




  • There is many homeless women; unfortunately because of threat of rape and harassment (somehow underlined here), lots of them have to not look homeless. They have to buy fine clothes, and makeup. If you think that people “just have to prostitute lol”, you have to ask why you don’t. There is a fucking lot of violence against sex workers. Usually people that could prostitute have coworkers to rely on, or are forced to work for a boss (or a pimp, that the same thing). If the first case is the most common in most of countries, it’s not available for people with few social connections; which is usually the main reason of homelessness


    • Short term interest: Yearly benefits make the corporation value. Work to enhance stability, such as investment in other open source project, documentation, formation, or code quality enhancement are less likely to qet time
    • Commercial focus: In a capitalist economy, we don’t have pure and perfect knowledge of product. Even if it’s supposed to work like this, commercials and adds are way more effective to sell products, than a top notch product
    • Antagonist interests: even if workers tend to like making good stuff, they’d rather eat and get housed. Sending a warning because the products are bad or dangerous can threat someone that made a bad decision, which is likely to be someone in charge. Keeping a low profile is (unfortunately) a reasonable behavior

    I think that an economy lead by financial interest, open market, and a hierarchy in the production is a good definition of capitalism.

    And yes, definitely the way that people get food, housing, and not being exclude will define a lot of thing in society.






  • I am not sure this is a wide spread behavior among the IT. Reading the “Debian Free Software Guidelines”, we could have some doubts. My point is not that free software are good or bad, but that is not enough. If we want te be responsible as producers, we have to organize as such to stop production that killing us (with climat change or military for example) and promote the one that emancipate us. Free software are a way to achieve the last one, unions the fist one

    I said such things too, but one day I ask myself, could I said it in front of people bombed by my tools ? Our tools are not neutral things, but produce and distribute by social relationship that we could fight. Sorry but we the rise of fascism and ecological disaster we could not afford to give up our power as producer to mass murderer


  • Law do not exist by itself; it’s the result of balance of power. How would you know that your State do not use illegally free software ? And if you know it, could you sue it ? Even if it’s a classified administration ?

    Apply laws Internationally is even worse. It usually depends of the imperialist relationship between States. For exemple, Facebook rules was illegal in France, but France changes it’s laws rather than sue Facebook. A decade later, the whole European Union could forte RGPD upon the GAFAM.

    China have nothing to fear in ignoring those licence, and we shouldn’t rely on it to protect our work. However we could strengthen our common defenses, through FOSS for people in the US … and maybe trade unions elsewhere.

    Okay now we establish who deserved what, maybe we should ask ourselves if this punishment help to prevent this murders to happen again, or will their cause another disaster in the futur.

    We could find the Isralien army more or less virtuous than the Palestinians armed resistance, and throw examples and counter examples, our we think about what cause it, and how to stop it. Having a materialist approach

    This kind of stories rely on the same narratives that mass media : their is obvious injustice, and a way to fight it. Maybe if the first part of that stories spoke to us from the dominant side, it would be way more effective.

    Andor showing us that agent from imperial political police want stability, to feed their family, and being respected. The Witcher, where a lot of people speak about Scoiatel as a racist group.

    It shall not be something like “both side are equally evil” but “what make people act like that ? And Who have the choice, and who don’t ?”.


  • We aren’t speaking about employee in an hydroelectric dam. Even if both took part in an the economy of an oppressive system, one give electricity, the other mass murder. If they do not agree with, they think that taking part in this crime give them more chance than deserting.
