It is difficult to accept that incest is the banal act of a completely ordinary person; and that it constitutes a genealogical crime, a specific form of child abuse (control, trauma, etc.).
The impossibility of seeing incest as a criminal sexual practice was remarkably demonstrated in an ethnographic study carried out by Léonore Le Caisne in the provincial village where the Lydia Guardo case took place.
The villagers perceived the Guardos as completely ordinary, a family like any other, with a hard-working father who was respected and looked on kindly, even though he did not hide his paternity from the villagers, shopkeepers and institutions. For the villagers, bound together by gossip, incest was a banal matter of procreation between a man and his daughter: ‘he was making children to his daughter’. They failed to see the asymmetrical relationship of kinship and age that constitutes this paternal incest: behind the gossip, the criminal practice of incest was passed over in silence.

The “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act”, known as the SAVE Act, was first introduced last year as #Trump & his allies focused on the baseless narrative that noncitizens #presented a major threat to the 2024 election. Republicans see better chances for the bill now that they fully #control Washington.

J'ai rejoué à Control et j'ai passé un peu de temps à faire des photographies dans le jeu pour pouvoir montrer l'ambiance si particulière de ce jeu.
It is misleading to suggest that evil parties can be controlled by imposing backdoors on common systems such as Telegram, Signal, or WhatsApp.
They are motivated enough to use other systems proficiently and work around them.
You, so-called democratic governments, are cultivating an illusion and allowing other evil entities to abuse that power. It happened in the past and will happen again in the future.
Stop it, idiots.

How long before Bluesky 'comes under the influence' of Musk or one of the other White House-aligned corporate social media fascists?
I have always (well almost since I thought about it properly) been in favour of publishing every citizens tax returns.

Trump's acolytes have access to US tax records but transparency is no part of their objective. All part of what appears to be an effective seizure of the reins of power, a political judiciary, demolishing initiatives rather than suppress people and an alliance with world autocracies. It won't end well.

Just thinking about that today for no particular reason
The Enclosure of Information: Alternative Data, Bossware, and the Societies of Control
"If the enclosure of land led to peasant revolts, what forms of resistance might emerge against the enclosure of data? The answer is uncertain, but one thing is clear: the commodification of information serves only to reinforce class hierarchies. As financial elites manipulate alternative data for speculative gain and employers use bossware to extract ever more surplus-value, the question we must ask is not merely how to regulate these practices, but how to dismantle the very system that enables them. A society built on the enclosure of knowledge is not a free society. It is a society of control, and it is time to resist."
Auch zu "digitalen Identitäten" (aber nicht nur) passt dieser allgemein ganz lesenswerte Text über digitale Kontrollgesellschaften (wie sie auch die EU gerade auf- und ausbaut)

The ability of a small number of rich donors to directly influence British politics remains a disgrace in a so called democracy.

What means or is #selfhosting for you?
I think most ones will identify this with simply running something on their own system, that is under their own control. But is this enough? For data sovereignty probably…
- Is that really enough?
- What about everything else? What about the infrastructure?
- Should you run your own ntp, dns etc?
- What about your provider? Simply getting an IP assigned from your provider or become yourself an ISP?
Where does it start and where does it end?
