Freedom Is a Constant Struggle

Angela Y. Davis

Progressive struggles whether they are focused on racism, repression, poverty or other issues, are doomed to fail if they do not also attempt to develop a consciousness of the insidious promotion of capitalist individualism.

I see my work as reflecting not an individual analysis but rather a sense within movements and collectives that it was not possible to separate issues of race from issues of class and issues of gender.

Just as the struggle to end South African apartheid was embraced by people all over the world and was incorporated into many social justice agendas, solidarity with Palestine must likewise be taken up by organizations and movements involved in progressive causes all over the world. The tendency has been to consider Palestine a separate and unfortunately too often marginal issue. This is precisely the moment to encourage everyone who believes in equality and justice to join the call for a free Palestine.

Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now

Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now Jaron Lanier 'Behaviors of Users Modified, and Made into an Empire for Rent' BUMMER. The whole purpose of BUMMER is turning you and changes to your behavior into a product. The algorithms fundamentally work to favor platform owners and advertisers, and those parties need abstractions of you in order to manipulate you. The business plan of BUMMER is to sneakily take data from you and make money off it. Look at how rich BUMMER companies are and remember that their wealth is made entirely of the data you gave them. BUMMER was originally sold as a barter deal. 'Let us spy on you and in return you'll get free services.' This might seem like a reasonable deal in the short term, but in the long term it's terrible.

Lo imprevisible: Todo lo que la tecnología quiere y no puede controlar

Lo imprevisible: Todo lo que la tecnología quiere y no puede controlar Marta García Aller Al final, los dilemas humanos son los mismos de siempre, solo que nunca habíamos tenido como especie tanta información disponible. Por eso nos desconcierta tanto descubrir lo vulnerables que somos en realidad. Por una parte, nos hemos vuelto en cierto modo, más previsibles que nunca gracias al mayor procesamiento de datos de la historia. Por otra, el mundo está transformándose a tal velocidad que desconocemos las nuevas reglas de juego. No es casualidad que tanto desconcierto coincida con un profundo cambio tecnológico. La nueva era de la predictibilidad técnica se caracteriza, paradójicamente, por una epidemia de incertidumbre.

The Smartphone Society: Technology, Power, and Resistance in the New Gilded Age

The Smartphone Society: Technology, Power, and Resistance in the New Gilded Age Nicole Aschoff We can and should tell our own stories about the kind of society we want to live in, technology and all. In doing so, we can foster new ways of thinking about our digital-analog future. But what stories should we tell? How do we deal with the myriad issues raised by our smartphones? - privacy, autonomy, addiction, surveillance, precarity, narcissism, commodification, democracy. A growing number of voices are weighing in on these questions, which is a good thing because, unlike the techno-determinists who until recently have received a disproportionate amount of airtime, it assumes that we can do something. If our future is not to be Silicon Valley´s Dis-Utopia then what is it to be? What is our version of Utopia? Or a more manageable question, What relationship should we have with the technology and corporations that have, largely through our smartphones, come to play a central role in ...
