  • Actually, The Incredibles is anarcho-antirealist. I know many magic users who are afraid to use their powers in public because of what society will think of them. I’ve never met anyone who couldn’t use magic if they tried, but the sad fact is, only some people choose to be special. And society IS holding us down. We need to promote a culture that encourages everyone to engage with the arcane, explore their gender&species identity, and form their own spiritual beliefs. Instead of this current culture where we pretend magic doesn’t exist.

    Magic has the potential to liberate us from the consensus reality promoted by Capital. We can build new universes. And people are scared of that power. They’re scared of us people who are willing to use that power. But what they don’t realise is that billionaires and the media are already using that power. Already creating reality and forcing us into it. It’s like in the movie, how everyone has 70s tech at the latest, and yet the government has mind erasing devices and buys weapons from Syndrome. There’s a technology inequality. We need to be willing to take hold of the power of the technology of reality bending if we want to protect ourselves.

    Superheroes may be illegal, but supervillains still exist.


  • but voters do want someone who’s going to address the bread and butter problems they’re facing.

    Nah mate, common myth. The Greens had a way better plan for the bread and butter problems - create a government department for building housing, end negative gearing, cap rent increases, put dental in medicare, build free GP clinics, 50c transport fares, wipe all student debt, 800$ back to school payment, free school lunches, make supermarket price gouging illegal, increase wages.

    What voters want, is something comfortable and familiar that makes them feel like they’re opposing Trump, without having to actually think or learn anything. They want the status quo.



  • Nobody wants to let Dutton be another Trump

    Trump is dismantling the US government so his billionaire friends can buy it. He’s not building a global populist movement, he’s siezed power and he’s using it for petty, selfish ends. The whole world can see it plainly

    The rise of fascism in the US may have heralded worldwide rises in conservativism for a time, but now that Trump has absolute power, he’s not bothering to hide his intentions. It’s swung back the other way, now the US is making the world less fascist

    Fascism’s win condition is always its own destruction. It’s a death cult. It can’t win worldwide because it promotes selfish leaders who sabotage the movement for personal enrichment

    It’s gonna be okay, everyone



  • Step 1: raise reality consciousness of the working class
    Step 2: mutual aid and practice magic
    Step 3: communist revolution
    Step 4: as a communist society, develop further technologies of mind and machine to further unchain our perceptions

    Archimedes said “give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to balance it, and I shall move the earth”. I believe science will give us ever more power over our experiences. I already use the astral plane to be Myself, we need to increase access to magical technology and perform more research.

    This is true, and this is false - source: me?”

    No, I don’t have the expertise in indigenous metaphysics to write that dialogue. It was written by James Cross after many long conversations we had about soulism and Tiwi beliefs.

    Soulism, put simply, is the theory that hierarchy is bad, and reality is a hierarchy we have the ability to abolish. You can read My manifesto on soulism at http://soulism.net/

    As to why I made this comic? If you go to the polcompball wiki page on soulism, you’ll see a disclaimer stating that soulism is fictional. The soulist community has had many arguments with the wiki’s admin team about this label. Today, this comic suddenly came to Me, and I just had to draw it. I thought I might post it somewhere on Lemmy. Blahaj’s soulism community was deleted by the admins, and this was the next best place. I do wish I’d been able to post it to a Lemmy community where the background required to fully appreciate the meme was more normalised, but such communities seem not to last very long. Last year I attempted to create lemmy.soulism.net, but I ran into problems with the cost of VPSes.



  • When I see a little girl getting excited about Disney princesses and wanting to be one, I see a child being sexually groomed. It’s disgusting and it needs to stop. It’s abusive. We shouldn’t be exposing children to these kinds of messaging. We need to be aware of what our words mean, so we can use them wisely.
