Open-Source vs Neoliberalism: EuroStack’s Choice and Humanity’s Fate (raskyld.dev)

WDYT? For me Open-Source is the proof another model exists.

So, over the last week, Europeans discovered we are depending on US big techs (you know the ones behind trump) 🫢

So I saw some "EuroStack" stuff trying to see what we can build to reclaim sovereignty, I engaged in a kind of unformal non-academic epistemological work about economics, anthropology, climate science, business management, and a lot of other things.

The more I worked, the more I realised that's it's not just about tech, this is not just an engineering problem. It is a fundamental, systemic collapse.

So my paper is in two section:

  1. An anthropological essay on neoliberalism, examining how capitalists were cunning enough to throw us social scraps to keep the gears of their operating system functional, but how they failed to anticipate the planetary limits.
  2. A naive attempt to propose something for Europe.

I just realized how Open-Source is the best argument against neoliberalism.

To my friends in the United States: my heart is with you. Know that humanity has always emerged victorious against tyranny. Nobody is freestanding; we are all part of something greater.

Here are some partisan songs from my terroir, just so you can be an international fighter for peace:

Keep fighting on, comrades. ✊ 🟥

Thanks a lot for your time to engage.

the fact that you can’t identify imperialism and how social democracy came to be and how it was replaced with neoliberalism

Just to be sure I understand, are you saying, I don't explain the evolution of society and how we arrived to this model? I actually based my work on the theory of Marcel Gauchet, on the "The Disenchantment of the World", my opinion is that neoliberalism emerged as the easiest consensus we found to replace the vacuum of religion.

I value all views and criticism, but:

just makes it not worth the time.

Is kind of dismissive and really opinionated, because you think your opinion is of more value than mine, you dismiss any chance for me to understand you or to explain myself.
