    I'm an anarchist writer who likes to blow off steam by using twitter to dunk on every school of everything. I identify with Voltairine de Cleyre's "steal bread for the hungry" market anarchism. Here's a short thread of major subjects I've written essays on and that I return to:

    Jeremy Christian is still claiming self-defense. But do you know what? Every fascist thinks that, even as they call for oppression of others, that they're the real victim, and see their desire for genocide as self-defense.

    UPDATE - We expect RCMP to begin enforcing the injunction tomorrow. The world is watching RCMP & CGL's militarized invasion of territories. Massih (thank you) to all our allies who continue to use your voices & actions to stand with us. More:

    Compromise: presidents can keep doing these campaign speeches we call “states of the union” but they get slimed afterward. Remember sliming?

    Dudes. Stop using moms as your default example of a clueless user. If you really need an example why not pick your CEO who I guarantee is the most clueless fukwit on the planet.

    Clients want shit done quick, they get antsy waiting for months without visual results they can play with while developers talk about abstract phantoms re security. There's a whole cottage industry of "certifications" that polish turds to avoid liability, not fix anything.

    The biggest bubble that we're all in isn't financial speculation, it's people funding ever growing code ecosystems but basically never funding sufficient security, tests, debugging, and restructuring. Tons of tech shit would be financially impossible to build *right*.

    When the next big infrastructural collapse comes that impedes food delivery an dshakes up civilization itself it'll be because of folks not funding open source software and developers being like "yeah, this is a clusterfuck, but what job isn't, we're still being paid."

    There needs to be much more money in order to sustain things. The Obama and Clinton campaigns spent tens (maybe hundreds) of millions of dollars on tech but it was building tech which was mostly thrown away.

    We’ve got a few vendors that last between cycles, but all the techies who work on campaigns go back to normal startups.

    There is no way they could succeed. The problem is structural, the way we’re funding campaign tech is wrong. We need it to be based on open source technology, we need a community of companies, parties, and third party groups funding it. It needs to have funding between cycles.

    It might feel like a lot, but it really isn’t given how much this stuff costs to build. It’s why the app wasn’t well tested or scaled well. The team was a few enthusiastic recent code school grads and one experienced engineer. This was their side project they built to get funding

    This was a quick tool which was put together without sufficient funding. See, building tech is expensive. We can see from the budgets that the Iowa Democratic Party only paid $60k to shadow, and the Nevada party paid $58k.

    So what do projects like and shadow do when they want to keep the lights on? They take one off campaign jobs. Affinity built tools for the Yes on 1631 carbon tax campaign in Washington, and Shadow built a caucus tool for state democrats.

    The decision makers refuse to use free software, alienating the progcoders/ragtag communities. They also refuse to fund projects between cycles to build reusable platforms.

    Most of us gave up on building campaign tech. Thousands of other dedicated technologists who are organized through and are struggling but unsustainable.

    After the initial infusion, there was no more money to be had. These projects all failed when they ran out of money. There was no budget to fund development between cycles. The decision makers know nothing about how technology, or its development works.
