I get mad about the collapse a lot but mostly I’m into cats and games and books and cool people.

By day, I write software. By preference, I'd write clojure or I'd be learning rust and elixir. By necessity, I'm writing golang and typescript.

I think the way we model and transfer data in the industry commonly is woefully inadequate and am on a jeremiad to demonstrate alternatives.

@blackmastodon
Can you participate in a thought experiment with me? The posts warning about fascism are good, but I'm wondering what you think fascism actually looks like. Give a thought, and list what it looks like. Don't just say "the end of democracy." List what the concrete changes will be and make it local. "In my town/city/county/state the following will happen......" Think about it before replying. Not just for .

@fulanigirl @blackmastodon Folk perceived to be outside of accepted society will run the constant risk of being subject to vigilante violence, imprisoned, and enslaved by the state and its allies.

The state will exert more direct control over the various police forces. Lethal outcomes will become more common.

Lists of folk with unacceptable politics will be developed by, or encouraged to be developed by, the state. Hiring such folk will be discouraged and penalized.

@fulanigirl @blackmastodon Anti-state terrorist and assassinations will occur, probably by mail bombs and drones. Some of them will be performed by factions of the state. In the wake of notorious incidents, criminal penalties for behavior describable as anti-state will increase, including more routine and speedy executions. Family and friends of victims will be punished, probably incidentally and opportunistically, not by policy.

@fulanigirl @blackmastodon The electoral system will be partially, selectively commandeered by the state, sufficient to keep up illusions of democracy long after the need for such pretense will have effectively passed, in fact.

As climate change wreaks havoc on agriculture, food shortages will result, but imposed selectively on partisan cities. Farm work will become more formally enslavement as mechanical agriculture becomes less cost-effective.

@fulanigirl @blackmastodon Food and job riots will occur in several cities and be brutally suppressed, with mass casualties. One or more state capitols will be bombed, and torture of political prisoners will become routine and acknowledged, even celebrated. Formal public will be curtailed in duration and efficacy. Service academies will become widespread, as well as punk community education. Women will be relegated to child care but also work menial remote jobs.

@fulanigirl @blackmastodon Fortunately or no, after perhaps a decade of living increasingly miserably, the fascist state will begin to lose enough of its functional, definitional capacities that it will stall on something. Probably corruption bleeding the state dry, but it could be any of a number of things. We’ll invade a country, perhaps even a neighbor, and it will be a disaster quagmire.

@fulanigirl @blackmastodon Probably the breaking straw will be a currency devaluation crisis, maybe an energy crisis, maybe a novel environmental crisis. Probably we get a few more plagues but take no effective actions, and people dying of disease in the normal course of their lives will become routine.
