some #nonvoters are #rightWing turds too

we see the #toxicIdealism on the #left, the "it's not perfect so i won't #vote" because we're on #mastodon and in other social silos on the left, which amplifies our impression

still, it's a lot of people like that, enough to make a difference

which is why some of these toxic idealism voices we see are just #geopolitical #trollFarm #psyop, cosplaying their fake #leftWing bonafides and working hard to suppress the vote on the left

while talking with my #grandpa about the #tariffs today, i think i settled on another realization. a lot of the ignorance and uneducation on the right comes from the idea of wisdom aquired with age. when i go to thanksgiving, i know that what i say is valued just as much as what my grandpa says, but i feel like on the right there’s a lot more of the “i’m older than you so i know better and you’re just wrong” mentality.

Back at the very beginning of January I mentioned¹ I'd stumbled across Han Hogan, one half of the artist duo "Namaco" behind "Mega Dreoilín"², considered by one critic as:

...one of the best Irish artworks of 2024 so far... incredibly engaging, brilliantly designed, sophisticated in its form and execution, and unexpectedly moving.

"Mega Dreoilín" is still on display at the Museum of Literature Ireland³.

Han is a dynamo! She's been working with Donal on a new artwork/game/commentary:

...a video game about the Irish economy: why we have found ourselves here and where to go next. Specifically it looks at the idea of neocolonialism by multinationals who don’t pay taxes etc - and the wider effects on people’s lived reality in Ireland.

This work will be part of a group exhibition, "Liquid Urbanisms"⁴, at the Lab Gallery in Dublin city centre from Friday 14 March to Thursday 24 April 2025.

OldBytes Space - MastodonAmin Girasol (@fluidlogic@oldbytes.space)Attached: 2 images Most intriguing conversation unfolding at https://touch.adverts.ie/other-computers/computers/35853721 > So I’m part a video game making duo, our next exhibition is in the Lab gallery from March. It’s a video game about the Irish economy, why we have found ourselves here, and where to go next. Specifically it looks at the idea of neocolonialism by multinationals who don’t pay taxes etc - and the wider effects on people’s lived reality in Ireland. We currently have a video game called Mega Dreoilín which is in the museum of literature for the next few months. Anyway I need these for the ‘set’ that I’m building up for the video game, it’s going to be the bedroom of a 90s hacker, they type of person who would have set up Pirate Bay etc. I can guarantee that I’ll give this to you after. But if you don’t want to go down that route then it’s fair enough if we continue the bidding.
