    Reality is a social construct defined by the dominant ethnic group in society, and manipulated by the Epstein class to control our minds.

    If you look at successful communist cultures, like in Australia, the nature of the world isn’t considered quite as objective as it is in the cultural West.

    I propose that the belief in objectivity correlates with capitalism for a reason: It is easier to accept an imperfect world when we are taught to believe that it was created by immutable, objective truths. Once we accept that everything is subjective, we begin wanting to remake our culture in a more equitable way. Thus, communism.

    I also suspect that Russia and China failed to achieve communism, and instead created state capitalism, because the people didn’t question their capitalist worldviews. Cultural ways of knowing were seen as objective, which lead to stagnation.

    I did free work on GitHub once. I made a porn mod for a video game and released the code on github under an alt account.

    Sometimes I seriously think about whether I should tell employers:

    “Have you contributed to any open source projects?”

    “A little bit of Piefed stuff, but mostly gooning.”





  • EXAPUNKS

    Your body has been infected by a Phage that turns your flesh into random bits of circuitry. Left untreated, you’ll gradually lose bodily function as your nerves, blood vessels, muscles, and organs turn into useless computer parts. There’s a drug that halts the progress of the disease. And it only costs 300 dollars.

    A day.

    For the rest of your life.

    Don’t like that deal? Then print out a copy of the underground hacker zine that’ll teach you to all of Alternate Universe 1997’s technology to your will. Including your own body.

    Hope you like writing Assembly code.




  • I’ve only seen the one with Bane, and I thought it sucked.

    It felt like Bane beat Batman for no reason, and Batman just had to overcome a pointless trial where he learned nothing, to create a manufactured darkest hour. I didn’t feel like Batman ideologically bested Bane, and ideology is important to Me.

    My favourite Batman bossfight is Terry McGinnis beating the Joker in Batman Beyond. Terry is a gen alpha kid who grew up on 67 and Skibidi Toilet. Terry knows funny. And the Joker isn’t funny. The Joker can’t stand being the butt of the joke, he can’t stand being vulnerable. Vulnerability is the key to all great comedy, and the Joker can’t do it. Terry defeats the Joker by out-funnying the Joker. That’s meaningful.

    I never felt like anything happening in Nolan’s Batman had any meaning.

    Yeah, I have a personality disorder, so I don’t like ableism. I stand with My ASPD (Antisocial Personality Disorder) siblings, who are often attacked with the ableist slur “psychop*th” (which isn’t even etymologically valid, since it’s literally just Greek for “mentally ill person”)





  • In Australia, the Europeans were too primitive to see how the land was developed, which is why they were able to lie about it being terra nullis.

    You see, when the first European “explorers” came here, they wrote about how the land was like a garden estate. Rolling fields of grass with scattered trees. The perfect environment to go on a stroll in, and the animals loved it too. This kind of environment is what nobles back in England hire full time gardeners to curate, even now that we have lawnmowers!

    And they thought this environment had just randomly come to be.

    Cause they were ignorant primitives!

    The First Australians terraformed the environment into this using a technology even more powerful than lawnmowers: cold fire. They knew (and still know) how to create fires that burn up the scrub while leaving the trees unharmed. Using cold fire, they created thriving habitats for yummy animals like kangaroos, with lots of food plants all over the place.

    Before colonisation, Indigenous Australians only had to work a few hours a day. They created farms integrated with nature, indistinguishable from nature to the untrained eye. European savages just couldn’t see them.





  • Piefed has the ability to move posts. You can move your post if you decide you made a mistake, or the mods can move a post they’ve decided is off-topic. A request for tech support could be moved from a conversation community to a support community where it belongs, without forcing the user to resubmit.

    If you mess up and say something stupid, there’s a button you can press that says “I changed my mind about this comment”. The comment remains visible, but everyone sees a disclaimer that you no longer believe what you said, and they can’t reply. No more replies telling you the same thing, and you don’t look like a sneaky coward. Other people get to learn from your mistake.

    You can follow microblogs from Piefed. I’m following George Takie, I can see his toots from My Piefed account.

    You can set your pronouns and they’ll appear next to your name on most communities. Species too, if you’re otherkin.

    There’s a list of new communities and a separate list of active communities in the homepage sidebar. Communities are also organised into topics, so you can find new communities to join more easily.
