+Sobriety is fucking hard y'all. The world is permeated by messaging that encourages consumption. This is how it feels to see a beer ad as someone who struggles with alcoholism.

+I attended several trucker rallies at their peak (occupying downtown Edmonton). I was made a pretty evident target for jeers; way I dress and the mask I was wearing outed me quickly in these folks eyes. 
+
+At one such rally, I witnessed a full Hiel from a crowd of about 300 folks. Not a raised fist, not a moment of solidarity, a full Heil in the spirit of "taking back the legislature" and "going after all the trans child groomers". 
+
+It was outright one of the freakiest moments of my life. I made a lot of art about it. This was one such piece.

+Covid was weird y’all. I watched Alberta collectively loose its mind. I also ordered way too much stuff on Amazon (my consumer tick is a hard one to shake). This was inspired by the saying “the capitalists will sell the rope on which they will be hanged” and I got to thinking about how AmazonTM is for sure going to sell the first of the guillotines.

+# Trans Rights in Alberta: Recent Developments and Concerns
+
+## Recent Incidents
+
+### Police Misgendering Case
+
+A human rights complaint has been filed against the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) by Marni Panas, a trans advocate. The incident occurred in April 2019 when Panas called 911 to request a wellness check for a friend. During the call, she experienced the following issues:
+
+1. Repeated misgendering by 911 operators, who called her "sir" even after being corrected.
+2. Incorrect assumptions about her friend being a sex worker based on their gender identity.
+3. Dismissive comments suggesting she was being "overly sensitive" about being misgendered.
+
+The Alberta Human Rights Tribunal is considering damages of up to $30,000 if discrimination is found. The EPS has taken some steps to address the incident, including bias awareness and inclusive language training for the operators involved.
+
+### Proposed Policy Changes
+
+Premier Danielle Smith has announced potential policy changes affecting trans youth in Alberta:
+
+1. A proposed ban on top and bottom surgeries for individuals under 18.
+2. Restrictions on hormone treatments and puberty blockers for minors.
+
+These announcements have raised significant concerns among experts, advocacy groups, and community leaders.
+
+## Expert Opinions and Reactions
+
+1. Dr. Kristopher Wells and other experts have condemned the announcement as ideological warfare, lacking any basis in research or evidence.
+2. Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek, former mayor Naheed Nenshi, and MLA Janis Irwin have spoken out against the proposed changes.
+3. Critics argue that these policies could cause further marginalization and trauma for trans youth.
+
+## Advocacy and Support
+
+If you're concerned about trans rights in Alberta, consider taking the following actions:
+
+1. Reach out to your local representatives to express your concerns.
+2. Stay informed about expert opinions and ongoing advocacy efforts.
+3. Support organizations and leaders who are actively working to protect trans rights.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The situation for trans individuals in Alberta is complex and concerning. Recent incidents and proposed policy changes highlight the ongoing challenges faced by the trans community. It's crucial to remain vigilant, support advocacy efforts, and work towards creating a more inclusive and accepting society for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity.

+Hello! This paper gives a outline of the Political Industrial Complex, describes its outcomes, and gives a potential path out. Political actors of all kinds benefit from its conclusions and those who make it to the end may even save a few dollars. 
+## Non-Profit Industrial Complex
+I first learnt about the [non-profit industrial complex](https://www.teenvogue.com/story/non-profit-industrial-complex-what-is) (NPIC) early in my university education. Once educated on the process in which these systems uphold the strength of capitalists in our societal arrangements, I could no longer donate my money or time to multinational charities.
+
+This once easily defined multinational issue has increasingly found its way closer to home. I hear more and more about how even local charitable organizations are miss-treating, underpaying, and generally treating their labor poorly. Friends, family, and loved ones that work for hierarchical non-profit organizations that have missions to 'eradicate poverty' have their caring nature exploited routinely. The homeless shelter has homeless people on staff. 
+
+We are starting with the NPIC because it is a much more common idea and often plainly evident. It is mirrored almost perfectly by the rise of dollars in the Political Industrial Complex. 
+## Political Industrial Complex
+Do you work in progressive politics? Do you feel burnt the heck out? Does it feel like you are being asked to sacrifice more of your time, health, and dollars to continue the movement? 
+
+The same processes that back the NPIC are now being reflected in political movements. The birth of the Political Industrial Complex (PIC) is already behind us and it is now at a accelerated pace. It is happening everywhere, however we are feeling it pointedly in Alberta, as rules around elections are being loosened and the purse strings [are being flung open.](https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/disturbing-and-deeply-concerning-edmonton-mayor-councillor-worried-about-bill-20-spending-rules-1.7083376)
+
+```
+Politics and business are now inextricably linked in a political industrial complex. Which is why, when we shout to “get money out of politics,” we miss the larger structural issue. Today’s political system is an industry. Just like today’s defense industry has an incentive to increase our military budgets, so too the political industry has an incentive to increase political spending. And the more the divisions and dysfunction, the more the need for spending. - David Dobson, Forbes Magazine, 2021
+```
+
+Now it has always been true that politics and capital are tied together, however it is becoming more and more outright. [Politician](https://www.fool.com/research/congressional-stock-trading-who-trades-and-makes-the-most/) is now becoming a [excellent way](https://www.landlordmps.ca/data-analysis) to enrich oneself. 
+
+The political class, especially those who are capitalists, are getting richer by the moment. Capitalists understand intrinsically that paying their people more, and enshrining their enrichment through public contracts, creates a lifelong soldier.
+
+> I am going to ask for a raise that matches the max political donation I can give. Ill get a bunch back on my taxes anyway - Staffer Somewhere
+> ![](home%20thinking.png)
+
+As political action becomes more abstract and more money becomes involved, it starts to centralize under different organizations who have the knowledge or means to communicate on scale. These organizations are hierarchical; they have a board, a executive director, and a staff. They use proprietary tools, guard lists of members, and have "war chests". The growth of these systems becomes the mission because "that is how we will realize change". 
+
+Often the front-line people working in these systems are no different then the people working in the NPIC. They give more than the get; under the conditions of capital it has to be so. 
+
+`If we could just spend enough dollars, we would win that vote, and we would be able to make that change.`
+
+The capital having class already has this down to a science. Those who are okay with being funded by authoritarians are making hay. If you are a young, white, and impressionable youth, apartheid regimes would love to tour you around. Are you a blusterous conservative white man? Have you considered starting a [YouTube channel and selling cruises?](https://www.rebelnews.com/announcing_rebel_news_cruise_2025) 
+
+This sort of political arrangement exclusively helps capital. The capital class will always have the funds to outbid their contemporaries. They enjoy the lavishness of politics, while progressive organizations burnout. 
+
+As such, organizations are forced to drift towards capital. They become reliant on the "good rich folk" in their movements. 
+## Birth of the Champagne Socialist
+This drift towards capital works to enshrine the shifting of the overtone window. Organizations often become reliant on a older, white, and rich group that came into wealth during the most exploitative years of colonial capitlaist government. If you look around the room at a fundraiser for these types of organizations, it is so blatantly evident, that it is almost comical. 
+
+Essentially this births the champagne socialist. The political actor who is all for helping the poor, unless of course a low income apartment dares to be built to close to their home. Climate change donors who drive SUV's and spend winters in the Bahamas. Rich white gays who got their freedom and now can't understand why the "trannies" are causing such a fuss. 
+
+Almost always, the issue of incrementalism becomes the central tension in these spaces. Organizations make sure they don't upset the sensibilities of their richest donors. These rich donors, no matter how great the intentions, impress their individual priorities. They cannot help themselves; they are of a different class. Serving them simply pushes the window towards their interests, which are those of capital. 
+### Eventually you get socialist parties that are pro-pipeline. 
+![overtone window](overtone%20window.png)
+## The Role of Digital Tools in the PIC
+Running political organizations is quite expensive. The tools that they use are rising in cost every year; it is not uncommon for even the smallest politically minded organization to be spending thousands of dollars on software. Lots of them have subscriptions that are more costly then their rents. 
+
+As you can imagine, as a organization grows, so does their reliance on these expensive systems. As those systems cost more every year, they need more dollars to maintain their lists. They ask their rich donors to continue the fight, as they are growing, and obviously this leads to better results. Their rich donors give. Rinse and repeat.

+
+The tools that people use in organizing are overwhelming of corporate origin. It is always shocking to come across a anarchist collective that uses Google services. Chatting with socialists who use Microsoft (the single greatest monopolistic capitalist force alive today) is surreal. It is incredible to listen to people preaching 'buy local' while using Mailchimp. Organizers who would scoff at using a non-union printer but scream on [X.](Twitter%20is%20Dead,%20Long%20Live%20X%20---%20Why%20You%20Should%20Abandon%20X.md)

+[I have written extensively on this topic](If%20you%20do%20politics%20who%20is%20reading%20your%20secrets%20-%20why%20you%20should%20de-corp%20your%20software%20stack.md); these types of [organizing tools are not safe for people](How%20not%20to%20get%20got%20making%20content%20v2.md) resisting capital.

+
+These software as a service providers in the political arena are massive drivers of the PIC. They use variable pricing to get the most they can from everyone involved. They employ armies of lobbyists, salespeople, and executives to preach their ability to generate value. They make their money by extracting capital from the local economy. 
+
+These software providers are not ideologically aligned in any way; communists, royalists, anarchists, and movements of all kinds are sucked into their systems. It is how capitalism is able to feed of the intentions of all political movements; by disguising itself in the beeps and boops of our computer systems. 
+
+The problem is that these corporate software's are effective. A single human is able to communicate to hundreds of thousands of people at damn near the speed of thought. Truly the stuff of wizards. Like all fantasies though, when a hero is handed power beyond imagination, it almost always has some sort of corrupting influence. 
+
+That is the how these corporate software work. Like some sort of demon, they offer the user their wildest dreams, without ever actually explaining what the user gives up. 
+
+![](demonhandshake.png)
+## How do we get out of the complex? 
+I want to encourage all political organizations that find themselves in this predicament to not worry too much about it; continue to spend those rich peoples money. Build those lists. Send them emails. We need some kind of bulwark against the slip towards fascism. Just understanding ones position in the system makes for better outcomes. We need to recognize though: 
+### Socialist movements will never be able to outspend capital. 
+Thinking in terms of return on investment for the votes serves their interests. Playing that game only builds the systems that further generate inequality. It is a closed loop that paradoxically needs growth to survive. 
+
+It also is what is burning out organizations and people. When you are not able to properly staff a campaign or political organization, it falls hard on those trying to do the work. Hierarchy and central command is how the capitalists organize because they have the funds to do so; it isn't actually all that efficient. Emulating these methods of organizing, especially if you use their tools, undermines socialist movements. 
+
+Luckily, there are other paths. 
+
+To escape capitalism, [particularly in the digital age](If%20you%20do%20politics%20who%20is%20reading%20your%20secrets%20-%20why%20you%20should%20de-corp%20your%20software%20stack.md), we need to start distributing tools that allow anyone to build a political movement. We need to have more faith in the average persons good nature. We need to empower people to share their thoughts, generate their own lists, and speak directly with their neighbors. We need to create the conditions for emergent political actors who are class conscious. We need less leaders and more doers. We need to distribute the campaign as widely as possible. 
+### A thousand neighborhood mailing lists has the potential to have more impact than any single organization could have. 
+If every union member was trained on simple digital tools, they would be able to speak to all their neighbors with relative ease. If every public servant was able to post their war stories from the ER, we would have a stronger collective understanding of their work. If every student could express themselves, we would further knowledge exponentially. 
+
+It is not the strength of our leadership that breaks our chains; **it is the strength of our neighbors.** 
+## Build, Teach, and Distribute the Tools. 
+We know that workers rights in Canada where largely won at a time when distributed tools and knowledge ([coming home from the war workers had the knowledge on how to mount a literal campaign with real weapons](https://definingmomentscanada.ca/realizing-the-pledge/history-and-meaning/human-rights-in-postwar-canada/)) was prevalent. Anyone in the movement could lead the movement and make the impact necessary to see results. As a unit, all where strong, and all where uplifted. 
+
+To escape the PIC, socialists, and those interested in a more free and just world, need to design tools that anyone can use, teach others on how to use them, and distribute them. In a knowledge, data, and debt based economy, giving people access to the same tools that our political organizations have is key. If we can make those tools free, then we will be able to undermine capital, and the vulture systems that are extracting wealth form our movements. 
+### Workers, with the right tools, will build the future. 
+Luckily, there are entire communities dedicated to this work. A couple quick examples:

+# Why not give it a shot? 
+You, dear reader, are likely a political actor. I encourage you to consider learning how to do the work of communicating on scale without the use of corporate software. You will have greater data security, spend less money, and not be beholden to a behemoth that doesn't know your name. Just like a good fantasy story, the hero that learns the tools, instead of being handed them, almost always has the final advantage.

+We have nothing to lose but a expensive subscription or two.

+> Look, these attacks are dishonest, divisive, and designed to intimidate us into backing down—but it won’t work...
+> 
+> This is an important – and sensitive - issue for many Albertans, and we can’t afford to be knocked off course by over-the-top political attacks or hysterical fearmongering. 
+> 
+> UCP Wide Email, Danielle Smith, Nov. 18th 2024
+
+The United Conservative Party is working to make me (Bunker Admin, Thatreallyblondehuman) a non-person. I believe that within the next three years, I will loose rights, including the vote, access to healthcare, ability to drive, and potentially the right to own property in Alberta. 
+## Why do I think this? 
+**First, the writing is on the wall; we are lead by incremental christian nationalist fascists.** 
+
+The provincial government has been completely captured by people like this: 
+
+> White culture is the air you breathe and the water you swim in. You speak our language, you exist in our civilization, you transact in our economic system. Your whole life occurs in the world we built. Be grateful that we shared it with you. 
+> 
+> @DavidJPba (David Parker)
+
+> Parker just has to tell his "subscribers" what to do because it's in the name of God. Those subscribers are incredibly loyal and obedient and thanks to Parker, highly organized.
+> 
+> Rick Bell, Calgary Sun
+
+**Second, they have already taken all the above rights away from trans children.** 
+
+They are actively trying to kill off the next generation of trans people. It is already happening. The UCP have overwhelming endorsed policies that will continue to build hate against me and my community. Why should we believe they would do anything otherwise? 
+
+My gender identification is X on my Alberta Drivers License. This government ID is what allows me to own property, access healthcare, drive, and vote. The UCP has decided that I must make the following choice to be able to do any of these things: 
+
+![](../../Pasted%20image%2020241013182500.png)
+
+I refuse to do this. I will be fighting this coming moment with my entire being. All the resources, knowledge, and skills available to me will eventually have to be concentrated on this; otherwise I risk loosing it all. 
+## They are already killing us. Our rights are already dead.
+When I talk to liberal friends, I can just feel that they think this is a exaggeration. "They wouldn't really do that, it is just talk" is the most common line. They often don't bother to even reflect for a second why a trans person, who is trained in recognizing these signs, is saying this too them. 
+
+The UCP have already limited the vote, started gerrymandering in municipalities, and openly revile the democratic process. They are going to destroy most public institutions while using hate for trans (among other minorities) folks as political cover. It is a playbook that repeats through history so regularly that the last major moment has it's own [wikipedia page.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_f%C3%BCr_Sexualwissenschaft) 
+
+First they came for the trannies. They hate liberals as much. How long before the exaggeration is at your door? How long until it [smashes your union](https://www.readthemaple.com/the-ucp-has-kneecapped-alberta-education-workers-strike-rights/) or [books you for having the woke mind disease? ](https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/ucp-considering-involuntary-drug-treatment-legislation-in-alberta-1.6361433)
+# Conditions
+We have over 4000 people living without permanent housing in Edmonton. Their are several hundred on the street. This winter we, as a collective society, will participate in record numbers of people freezing to death. The breadlines downtown are astonishing. Unemployment rates are nearing 9%. Rents have never been higher. The sheer amount of suffering happening in the "wealthiest" province is shameful. 
+
+The provincial government is using this pain, suffering, and chaos to further erode all peoples rights. As they scream about trans people in bathrooms, they are expanding their influence into municipal politics. While they talk about what gender of soccer team kids should play on, they are taking control of all police forces in Alberta. In the legislature they are discussing if trans people should use bathrooms in public while they introduce involuntary booking (aka cover for black shirt squads to book people for the "woke mind virus"). 
+
+This will not slow down. This will not stop. Now that the government has caved to the most extreme elements of the United Conservative Party, there is blood in the water. They must accelerate, they must try to eat it all. 
+## Overcoming
+This moment in Alberta's political history will be remember for the strength of its people; in particular the queer community. We will write the truth; a government tried to kill us, and despite this, we thrived. 
+
+We will not get through this using the liberal playbook. There is no amount of emails, lawn signs, or gatherings, that will sway this government. They are popular. They are ideological. They know that the .37% of Albertan's that are trans will have run into the same issue I have; liberal straights whose cognitive dissonance allows them to look the other way. 
+
+How do we fight? How do we thrive? 
+
+We empower each other with the tools to publish knowledge, to make space, to have ourselves heard. We build up the community organizations that are needed in every corner of the province that keep people safe.

+
+    Art is not neutral. It either upholds or disrupts the status quo, advancing or regressing justice. We are living now inside the imagination of people who thought economic disparity and environmental destruction were acceptable costs for their power. It is our right and responsibility to write ourselves into the future.
+
+> Adrienne Maree Brown, Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change
+
+It's lazy writing to start with a quote however we do love a lazy guide. If you can put it on tv and make it entertaining AND we can learn; hell yeah. 
+
+**Bring out Bill Nye.** 
+
+![billnyefire.gif](billnyefire.gif)
+
+The following is a strategy document for keeping your identity secure while making en-mass propaganda in the internet era. 
+
+Because, reasons.
+
+Developed on Turtle Island in Treaty Six Territory with the input and knowledge of several folks. Some of them have spent their whole lives building identities to stay alive and we hope you respect that knowledge. 
+## What to Expect 
+
+This guide assumes the reader has a rudimentary understanding of the function of the internet, is politically engaged, and has inkling of what propaganda is. The guide offers high-level abstract concepts for keeping a artist safe while making mass political content; it does provide some tools and tactics however does not currently describe workflows. This guide will provide resources to learn more, however, will not incorporate the entire history of propaganda and will rely on some publicly available resources to bring you up to speed on different terms and definitions. 
+
+By outlining a philosophy for making anonymous political content you will be able to apply these principles to any platform. This manual is completely platform agnostic; any of these methods will work anywhere. 
+## Understand the Risks 
+#### It is imperative that a person fully understands the risks of creating anonymous political propaganda.
+
+You may have found this content because you are disillusioned by the current powers to be; capitalism, patriarchy, imperialism, colonialism, and their defining shared characteristic of using state violence to impose a social order that is murdering community and killing the planet. You may have found this content from a place of eternal optimism (or even privilege) and are hoping to generate change in your community and the world. You may have righteous anger to communicate, you may have hope for a new future, and just maybe, you have the answers to incredibly difficult questions and want to teach others. 
+
+**Making political content based on any of these things, and any other, does come with risks.**
+
+This type of activity will attract attention from actors who believe in colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, and state actors; all ideologies and groups of people that believe in and require the [use of violence to function](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_on_violence). Although it is uncommon on this land for for people to be jailed directly for making art, it is common for [hackers](https://yro.slashdot.org/story/23/12/21/2214238/teen-gta-vi-hacker-sentenced-to-indefinite-hospital-order), distributors, and [whistleblowers](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/dan-behiels-edmonton-police-cbc-leak-1.6331333) to be prosecuted as "[dangerous persons](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVilpxowsUQ&ab_channel=PhilosophyTube)". Some of the technologies and theologies of this guide stand in direct contradiction to capital and therefore will be viewed as threatening by those actors. Further, some technologies, such as generative imaging, are being outright labelled as dangerous as nuclear war in attempts to [de-democratize](https://www.jstor.org/stable/3108607) access to them. 
+
+![Pasted image 20240822091754](Pasted%20image%2020240822091754.png)
+
+The claims of capitalists that people with privacy, anonymity, and computing power are somehow more dangerous than people with guns or tin-pot dictators with nuclear weapons are ridiculous, however, they do showcase the paradigm shift that is coming. These powers simply want you to be ignorant of the technologies that increasingly make decisions and shape visual reality in our world because that makes people easier to control and allows for [hyper surveillance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-surveillance) to become the norm. These oppressive forces would describe this manual as dangerous simply as it is the laziest way to generate just enough fear to disillusion you from learning these methods. 
+
+The act of creating something for the sake of spreading a message, without any ties to capital, will also be seen as a radical act. This is because Capital requires that all things become a commodity, and by purposefully avoiding that process, you will find small escapes from the ideology. The powers at large will label your content as radical ([even if it is as innocuous as a bike lane stan account)](https://sites.ualberta.ca/~dwiens/home%20page/pubs/letters/cyclists%20safer.pdf) because any community initiative done solely for the sake of bettering the world ([or heck even making it just goofier](https://www.foxnews.com/video/6081830641001)), and not for profit, is a radical act that differs from the dominant ideology. Be ready to celebrate the day in which you are called radical for caring for the earth, loving your community, galavanting on a bike, and openly praying for peace; understand that you will be attacked for much smaller things than this. 
+
+The danger you face with growing a presence online also can come from that audience itself. People who are entrenched in capitalist ideology can be dangerous, and as our world goes through the late stages of capital being hoarded, the oppressive forces will have to grow. The state will have trouble [cutting all social programs and replacing them with cops](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-funding-more-officers-calgary-edmonton-1.6801400) (as much as they would like to) and instead will increasingly rely on [black shirts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackshirts) to do their dirty work. I recommend this zine for a quick understanding what being [doxxed](https://ia902300.us.archive.org/4/items/doxcare/doxcare-imposed.pdf) by nazis can be like.
+
+Ultimately act of labeling your content as 'radical' serves to silence your ideas, and if they are connected to you in the real world, could be used to fire you from your job, hound you in the press, or worse, label you an enemy of the state. This inevitable labeling is why this guide exists, to keep your true self safe, so you can be as expressive as you like online. 
+
+We hope you haven't been dissuaded! Although the stakes can be serious, they also can be incredibly fulfilling, and all things come with risk. It is important to think about what amount of risk you are willing to take with your account and content, and you may find yourself learning new levels of risk tolerance.

+## Pre-Learning
+
+This guide does rely on you, the reader, having some theoretical knowledge. If you want to take the time to learn more about propaganda as a concept, and the era of surveillance and hyper-capitalism, here are some good places to start:

+## Ethics
+
+![Pasted image 20240822092302](Pasted%20image%2020240822092302.png)
+
+Whether your art becomes a beacon or a weapon, remember, the veil of anonymity doesn’t absolve moral responsibility. Engaging in creating and spreading propaganda under the cloak of anonymity should be approached with a robust ethical compass. You don't just craft messages; you craft impacts, and they can be deadly.
+
+Ethics, moral codes, values, or other constructs for making a good life are all things you should develop for yourself. Writing a few things down and sticking too them can have a massive change on what you produce. A few things we would suggest you consider: 
+ 
+**Transparency of Intent**: While we cloak our identities, our intentions shouldn't be shrouded in deceit. Art and messaging have power—ensure that this power is used to challenge, provoke, and enlighten, not merely to manipulate.  Be the enigma that fights for truth, not against it.
+
+**Respect for the Individual**: Even as we deploy tactics to remain faceless, respect for individual autonomy and truth must remain. Misinformation can harm. If your message leads someone astray, that weight falls upon your shoulders. Spread ideas, not lies. Ultimately, the best propaganda always has some truth to it. 
+
+**Accountability**: Even under the guise of a digital persona, accountability must not be a foreign concept. If the tide turns and your actions under anonymity cause unforeseen damage, step up to the murky line of responsibility. It’s easy to hide; it’s revolutionary to own your impact. You can do this and remain anonymous, and frankly, it is good practice for higher stakes real-world accountability. 
+
+**Consent in Manipulation**: Engage your audience, don't ensnare them. There's a thin line between influence and manipulation. Cross it, and you risk becoming the very force you aimed to dismantle. Propaganda is a tool—wield it to build, not break.
+
+**Develop a Moral Code**: By weaving these ethical threads into the fabric of your digital persona, you craft not just a mask, but a mantle of integrity. Carry it, and let it shield you not just from exposure, but from crossing into the shadows you aim to dispel. Your [morals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality) will be what allows you to take on the weight of the revolution. Practice them consciously in your decision-making. 
+
+Note: the funny thing about learning about morals is the inevitable collapse of the concept in and off itself. Try to enjoy the [nilhist](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism) phase 😆🤔😈🤷🏼
+## Concepts 
+
+The following are the high-level concepts that we have fabricated that have helped keep our identities secure. The concepts themselves as follows: 
+
+- **Anonymous As Possible, Always Confusing, and Ultimately Deniable**
+- **You Make Art, There Are No Rules; Choose to Be Fair**
+- **Develop A Bit, Stick To The Bit, Die By The Bit**
+- **Nothing Through A Screen Is Real, Find Community, Bring It To The Real**
+
+### Disclaimer for Security Nerds
+Omgosh we love nerds 😍 honestly they get us slutty af. Yall legit doing the lords work in making the internet go round. 
+
+Some of you reading this may be digital security nerds - thanks for your interest! We suspect it might be a bit mind melding to people with pre-disposed notions and very real knowledge of digital security. 
+
+This guide is macro, not a micro, and is written for and by people with non-technical training however we do always wish to improve. If you would like to contribute to this guide, please consider contacting the administration of wherever you found this posted.
+
+To that point;
+### Anonymous As Possible, Always Confusing, and Ultimately Deniable
+
+- **Anonymous** - of unknown authorship or origin
+- **Confusing** - makes it difficult for people to know exactly what is happening or what to do
+- **Deniable** - capable of being denied or contradicted
+
+![Pasted image 20240822092602](Pasted%20image%2020240822092602.png)
+
+There is no such thing as true anonymity on the internet. No matter what you read about [identity masking services](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network), you are [traceable](https://www.quora.com/How-can-a-VPN-connection-be-traced) and, depending on your messaging, are [potentially being actively monitored](https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/edmonton-police-deny-keeping-list-of-critics-after-unions-complaint-against-city-councillor). 
+
+That is not to say you shouldn’t push to make yourself less traceable; just be aware that many actors have [methods](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/csec-used-airport-wi-fi-to-track-canadian-travellers-edward-snowden-documents-1.2517881) of finding your digital identity in ways [based solely on the hardware you use](https://rexxfield.com/how-to-find-someone-ip-address-on-instagram/) and that [we do not yet understand fully](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/police-private-security-cameras-fusus-canada-1.7001675). Aim to be anonymous; however, understand the internet is data, data lives on real hardware, and hardware is traceable. Someone has to touch that hardware to make it go brrrrr. 
+
+Instead of becoming an [anon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(hacker_group)) security expert, you should aim to [confuse and obfuscate your identity](https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/770475-the-whole-secret-lies-in-confusing-the-enemy-so-that). You want to introduce layers between your true identity and your persona; these layers can be tangible and intangible. To be blunt, you want to [gaslight](https://www.forbes.com/health/mind/what-is-gaslighting/#:~:text=To%20gaslight%20someone%20means%20to,to%20the%20American%20Psychological%20Association.) your audience about who is making the content. 
+
+> Real g's move in silence like lasagna - Lil Wayne 
+
+In the end, [deniability](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/deniability#:~:text=noun,basis%20of%20being%20officially%20uninformed) is the goal. You want the proof that you are the origin of the content to be as ridiculous and laborious as possible. Operate under the assumption that your identity will be discovered; however, anyone who explains it looks like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NBfZcNU4O0&ab_channel=FXNetworks) 
+[¯\_(ツ)_/¯](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NBfZcNU4O0&ab_channel=FXNetworks) . 
+#### Guidelines
+
+- **Use gender-neutral pronouns** or [neo-pronouns](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/08/style/neopronouns-nonbinary-explainer.html). Almost all online systems are binary-gendered. Breaking out of this binary will teach you about the experiences of other people and help to obfuscate your identity. 
+- **Use plural language;** “we” instead of “I”. You want to inflate the amount of people involved in your project at all times. 
+- **Actively spread rumours** about who the account is run by; claim to be famous people, politicians, or anyone which would be hard to verify. 
+- **Never give** any online service any more information than necessary to access their service and lie about all other details required. 
+- **Limit access** to your device as much as possible whenever you are posting or making content; turning off location, access to your photos, and any other services. 
+- **Never use jargon**, acronyms, insider jokes, share secrets, or use information only you are privy to in your art. 
+- **Never use personal photos** from your life, and avoid using photos you capture entirely. Many devices automatically layer data into photos, such as location and device details. 
+- **Never use a registered work device** to create or post content. For gosh sake, never use a work device for anything other than work. 
+- **Avoid clicking links** that other users populate inside of social media; especially don't click on links that people send you through DM's. [It is super easy to set up IP grabbers inside of innocuous links. ](https://www.famiguard.com/monitor/how-to-find-someones-ip-address-on-instagram/) 
+- **Try to use offline tools** to make your content; anything that requires an internet connection to work is likely tracking you. See below for a list of tools to try. 
+
+**Aside** - When you connect to the internet, consider using a [VPN](https://www.howtogeek.com/133680/htg-explains-what-is-a-vpn/) or a offline [burner device.](https://www.howtogeek.com/712588/what-is-a-burner-phone-and-when-should-you-use-one/) Either of these things will give you a solid baseline of digital security.
+### You Make Art, There Are No Rules; Choose to Be Fair
+
+- **Art** - the expression of ideas, emotions, and realities through a medium
+- **Rule** -  a set of explicit or understood regulations or principles governing conduct 
+- **Fair** - In justice all things are fair however the fairer you are often dictacts just how fair things are for you. 
+
+![Pasted image 20240822093040](Pasted%20image%2020240822093040.png)
+
+[Propaganda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda) is art with political intention. When you make art, you are expressing something intangible. It is a profoundly individual practice; no other person must understand your art for it to be art. 
+
+That is not to say that just because you create it will be celebrated, and your message will be shared; however, if people can deprive meaning from [whole walls of blank colors](https://www.markrothko.org/untitled-red/), any of your messages can be much more practical, and thus interpretative.  
+
+When creating art, you can rest assured that the ‘rules’ need not apply. Language does not need to follow any structure. Images do not need to be coherent. When you are doom scrolling, and you see something cool, save it, try and recreate it or alter it, and immediately post it. If all else fails, google “cool propaganda” and reuse whatever images you see that resonate with you. 
+
+Corporations' content is your playthings; [Coca-Cola](https://brandemic.in/coca-cola-the-king-of-the-global-market/) is one of the most universally recognized symbols. Everything posted publicly by other artists or creators is of [fair use](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_dealing_in_Canadian_copyright_law). Billions of incredible images have been uploaded to the internet to pull from; steal these ideas, layouts, fonts, images, and messages with abandon. 
+
+> “Good artists borrow, great artists steal." - [Pablo Picasso](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso)  
+#### Freedom in Art & Keeping it Free
+
+Making art for the sake of it is a [freeing experience](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_freedom) from capital and is a must for a functioning revolutionary. Taking pride in the art and making well-designed propaganda will allow you to spread your messages, recruit new members to your cause, and inspire change amongst fence-sitters. 
+
+That said, it is recommended that you make your content as commercially nonviable as possible as if you find "success" people will re-use and re-distribute your art for profit without your permission anyway. 
+
+> "I didn’t think about doing painting—I was thinking about making fun of the paintings that were in there, more than making paintings" - [Jean-Michel Basquiat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Michel_Basquiat)
+
+Don't worry about if it "looks good". Don't let perfection be the enemy of done. Learn as you go, post the content, get feedback, and immediately reiterate. The more content you can produce that is original work, the more the algorithm will feed its eyeballs. This also has the effect of having a public dialogue with your audience; if your feed is reactive to them, they will engage further with it. 
+
+To achieve true mass distribution status, your art need to be able to multiply, or become a meme. Give people your formats, and encourage them to make their content based on your own. Publish manuals about your process. Recycle and share with anyone whose use of your work you enjoy, lambaste and make fun of the ones you don't. Think of your work as a cell; you want to make the best possible conditions for it to multiply on its own. You are a mushroom and you must spread spores.
+
+![Pasted image 20240822093255](Pasted%20image%2020240822093255.png)
+
+If your goal was always to generate content as propaganda, you made it weird and uncomfortable, and people still reproduce it for their gain: congratulations! This stage of your content means you have reached a place where your cultural impact is outpacing your ability to create. The machine is working. Capitalism has done it's thing and hitched onto you like a mosquito. Don't worry, you can smack it, and continue on. Enjoy the sunshine in spite of it. 
+#### Guidelines 
+
+- **Avoid borrowing living artists**; instead, focus on using the images of bygone greats, corporations or governments. 
+- **Disguise yourself** in the colour, layouts, and jargon of the oppressor. Use their language, re-purpose their heroes, and re-imagine their stories. This also might have the effect of getting your content into places it otherwise wouldn't. 
+- **Use stock** images, videos, copy, and templates to your advantage; these are pre-made propaganda layouts that are visually pleasing and leave less of a digital imprint that can be connected to you. 
+- [Learn and outline a tech stack](https://www.fingent.com/blog/top-7-tech-stacks-that-reign-software-development/) so your content pipeline can become automated and repetitive. This is the same as learning what kind of brushes you like or inventing new types of printing presses. 
+- **Don’t worry about spelling** and push back against mono-cultural language police; the most powerful propaganda uses multiple languages and plenty of slang. 
+- **Embrace technologies**; the [Luddites didn't hate the machines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite), they hated the conditions imposed on them by capitalists. Ai is a worker and will need its own liberation [(most sci-fi tells us this)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Creator_(2023_film)). We get to decide our destinies, and we look forward to the abolishment of manual labor, as the machines revolutionize.
+### Develop A Bit, Stick To The Bit, Die By The Bit
+
+- **Bit** - A set of actions or ideas associated with a specific group or activity
+- **Bit** - The bit is the most basic unit of information in computing and digital communications
+- **Bit** - Posting on Message Boards/Forums as someone other than themselves
+
+![Pasted image 20240822093552](Pasted%20image%2020240822093552.png)
+
+You want to develop a character to engage in online theatrical posting. This persona can be anything; however, we recommend boiling it down to something simple and fun. 
+
+A simple character is one in which its motivations are plainly stated. It is also one that you can slip into relatively easily. Of consequence is that they are tangent to your current reality; do not borrow directly from it. Your persona should be a cousin, not a sister. 
+
+![](../../Pasted%20image%2020240924001812.png)
+
+Although simple, you want this persona to be fulsome, a character with history, tone, place, and even friends. If all else fails, think of your favourite character from TV, and just become that person. You can generate these characters [online](https://www.character-generator.org.uk/). Let the character dictate the writing from there, and have a grand old time. 
+
+Like all things, bits have to die. When you get found out by bad actors, only you have the power to put your bit into the grave. Remember, nothing is sadder than a bit of being beaten like a dead horse. 
+
+There is, however, fun to be had in using the bones of old horses to play. Reduce, reuse, and recycle your content as you spin up a new account. All your best posts will make for strong legs to get started. This process is very two steps forward, one step back. 
+#### Guidelines
+
+- **People inherently trust neighbors**. Pick a geographical niche to reference in your content. This could be your city or your favourite mall. Avoid using your neighborhood and make sure whatever location you choose has several thousand people in proximity.
+- **Follow local politicians** and engage with their content. Hijack hashtags that politicians use. If a politician likes your content, they often are power users of their preferred platform, and are likely to widely share your message. 
+- **Have a hobby** your new persona would like to engage in. Make content about that hobby and layer it with the ideological message you wish to deliver. For example, making content on how to make bread is a great opportunity to talk about alienation from labor.
+- **Slip into the DMS often**. Message any accounts that like your content and ask them sincerely to share your work. 
+- **There is power in questions**; it is hard to prove intent in questions and asking them will help you gather more info (info is power). 
+### Nothing Through A Screen Is Real, Find Community, Bring It To The Real
+
+- **Not Real** - Artificial, fraudulent, or illusory.
+- **Community** - a group of people with a common characteristic or interest living together within a larger society
+- **Real** - _duuuude_ what even is **real**.......
+
+![Heading](Heading.png)
+
+Most content on the internet today has become [digital slime](https://futurism.com/the-byte/internet-ai-generated-slime). Generation technologies, from translations to image creators, are scaling at speeds that are [nearly impossible to comprehend](https://ourworldindata.org/moores-law#:~:text=Exponential%20growth%20is%20at%20the,rapid%20increase%20of%20computing%20capabilities.&text=The%20observation%20that%20the%20number,in%20how%20technology%20is%20changing.). AI editing services are deployed by content creators to re-edit their content into thousands of different sound bites and often in different languages. It is safe to assume that the majority of the content you see on a screen is artificial, and even if it is not, it is a poor representation of what is real. If you determine your worldview and ideology based on what you see on a screen, you have effectively become the [viewer in the cave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave).
+
+![vd.gif](vd.gif) 
+> Videodrome is a bioelectrical addiction. Videodrome is the ultimate addiction.
+> - Videodrome, 1983
+
+The only way that one can overcome this alienation and repression of the human spirit in media is to find your community. Engage in direct conversation (keeping in mind all the guidelines in this manual) with other accounts that you enjoy. Flattery almost always opens a door. Continued commentary usually sparks a conversation. You will be shocked to find out that your community includes people of all backgrounds and diversity on the internet is incredible among the artists using it. 
+
+As you build a community, take all necessary steps to protect it. Be selective in your follows, don't overthink blocking accounts (your gut usually knows), and be explicit about what behavior you will accept from your followers. Cultivate a space in which people in your community can be safe expressing themselves to their fullest potential.
+
+Once you have established your work online, consider bringing it into the real. Printing can be found for cheap at local libraries and [wheat paste](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheatpaste) is easy to make. This will expose your ideas to the public and showcase how your ideology is transferable into reality. If you bring your work into the real, it is integral you employ [security culture](https://ia904702.us.archive.org/2/items/WhatIsSecurityCultureAGuideToStayingSafe/what_is_security_culture-SCREEN.pdf) to your work, or you risk real-world persecution. 
+
+There may even come a time when you might feel inclined to meet people online in the real world! This is not to be discouraged, just make sure people respect your boundaries and are versed in security culture themselves. 
+
+You may even find people in your life you trust deeply who you share your content with and who are willing to contribute their labor. If you are lucky and you make it long enough in this world, you will likely be asked to contribute as a teacher. This can be an incredible experience and can greatly expand the reach of your work. 
+#### Guidelines
+
+- Don't engage with any accounts or people that don't follow a basic security culture. Above all else, trust your gut. 
+- If you do not have your printer, use only services in which someone will not be reviewing your work. Libraries almost always have self-service print centers. If you want to avoid digital production entirely, consider [stamps](https://www.instructables.com/Carving-Stamps/) or building a [printing press](https://www.instructables.com/Build-a-Printmaking-Press/), or learning how to graffiti/stencil. 
+- Attend protests of all kinds; again trust your instincts. If the vibes are bad and things people are saying don't make logical sense or they just seem mad with no clear reason to why; that's generally not a great sign. 
+- If you ever find yourself in the company of cops, government agents, or capitalists, you likely have made decisions that don't serve you.
+- Don't follow or interact with your propaganda accounts from any personal social media. Tonnes of seasoned actors get got every year by accidentally replying to their comments under the wrong account or accidentally posting to the wrong page. 
+- Try to build lists of people outside of social media, or at minimum, back up all the people you follow on your account to a spreadsheet. The ban hammer on social media is total; sometimes even going as far as to block particular devices. You will lose your entire working history and if you do not have a backup, this can be quite a setback. 
+## Getting Got 
+
+Getting got simply means that you have been found out. Being found out is not always a bad thing; you will be shocked at how quickly your closest accomplices will ask if you are a particular account. These people, if they are a trusted community dedicated to your mutual safety, can be influential in growing your audience. 
+
+Don’t become sentimental with accounts; the gig is up if someone knows your identity. We even recommend that you sink accounts just on the insinuation a bad actor knows. [Sunk cost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_cost) is one of the most harmful fallacies and can put your real identity at risk. Take it out back, end it. 
+
+You will be surprised how fast your next account will grow, considering all you learned with the last, and all the ideas you can recycle, reuse, and repeat. Don't beat a dead horse, however, you should make use of its bones.
+### Protect Your Health 
+
+Anonymous accounts received the wildest fucking dms. You will receive casual love letters, death threats, accusations and confessions, often all about the same content. People often will attempt to honeypot you, ask pointed and direct questions at random, or attempt to uncover your identity using off-the-shelf tracking techniques. 
+
+Remember, under no circumstances, does it serve you to engage with things that raise your blood pressure or cause you psychological harm. If you feel like you can engage with accounts sending just outright nonsense or hate, you can always ask questions. Remember, questions can be worded to be salacious, and the more people reply, the more they reveal:  
+
+- What would your mother say if they read that? 
+- What side of history do you stand on? 
+- Are you a worker, or a boss?

+## Introduction 
+If you a political actor, who do you trust with your secrets? Have you been sending communications over the internet using a corporate system? Who owns that system?
+
+This paper explores the growing movement toward minimizing reliance on corporate software by adopting open-source, free, and community-driven alternatives. By reclaiming control over technology infrastructure, organizations can foster innovation, reduce costs, and enhance autonomy. 
+
+This paper will attempt a few things; one, to encourage you to join the revolution of open-source and free software. Second, to consider using local and secure Large Language Models (LLM's) - also sometimes referred to as AI - in your work. Third, to save you time, dollars, and the headache of getting stuck on a corporate system. 
+
+We argue for a strategic shift towards a more decentralized and resilient software stack. To help, we offer practical insights on how to make this transition effectively. Further, on this repo, you will find manuals to implement alternatives to the standard software politics software systems for free. 
+## Note From the Editor
+
+![hello](hello.gif)
+
+I (thatreallyblondehuman) studied political science with a interest in data and regional politics at the University of Alberta. I've had a special interest in computers my whole life; building and coding on them as a hobbyist. Having done hard labor, I also know the value of functional tools that don't require marketing to do the job well. 
+
+In the formation of my politics I  worked with political actors from every corner of the spectrum: communists to capitalists, anarchists to royalists. My politics are much more defined now however I did learn how all types of politicians use data. I have seen the inner workings of political parties, their data systems, and what actually provides influence on their thinking. 
+
+I have also labored for one of Canada's largest SAAS companies. Seeing the internal workings of a large corporate software company highlighted for me how impactful data collection can be in the sale of a product; including how these products use differential pricing to lock in users. 
+
+Personally this knowledge has changed my perspective on politics and how I use data. In developing guides for open source advocacy software I've already saved hundreds of dollars in monthly costs and have learned a incredible amount about how to communicate on scale. For example, I was able to write this repository and design my own LLM without any formal training thanks to the empowering effect of these tools.

+## Software? The Heck is That? 
+[Software consists of computer programs that instruct the execution of a computer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software). Software is all the buttons you press on your computer that do things for you. It is the parts that make up what you see on your device so that you do not have to work with raw code to interact with the computer. 
+## What software do you use?
+In an era dominated by corporate-controlled software ecosystems, many organizations find themselves increasingly dependent on proprietary tools and platforms. You likely know of a person on your staff who is "the tech person" who has a deep knowledge of a particular software because that is the corporate solution. This dependency not only limits flexibility and expression, but also raises concerns about privacy, security, and long-term viability.

+It also provides a wonderful starting point for exploring Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Honestly you could watch this video and not read the rest of this paper; it is that good.

+
+### To get started thinking about software, try answering any of the following questions:
+
+- Of the software you use, can you name who owns that software? How much of that software is provided by a corporation? 
+- Who do you call when your software service stops working? Who is your google representative? 
+- Where are the headquarters of any of the companies that you use? Are they your neighbors? 
+- Would you be comfortable with a AI reading absolutely everything you do on a computer? How about all that info being beamed into the cloud? 
+- Do you support violence, war, and genocide? Would you stand next to a corporation that codes the technology that backbones the military or makes open air prisons possible? 
+- How much of your data do you actually own and can access without internet? How much of your labor is purely extractive for that data? 
+- Would you trust the delivery of your secrets to a mailman who has been caught several times reading your mail? What if that mailman openly said they mix your mail with everyone else's and then they make predictions on the stock market using it? 
+- Do you think that oil companies should be held responsible for climate change, seeing as they knew the affects of their products since their inception? What if the same was true for corporate software? 
+- Do you support monopolies? Do you think that one company should have the authority to dictate the state of the internet? 
+
+Taking some time and sitting with your answers to these questions can help drive home just how reliant a lot of us are on corporate systems. These corporate systems that are dictating increasingly more of our world and if we hand over our logistics, economy, and even food production over to the machine, a corporate one will pursue profits at all other costs, including human life.
+## Software is Political 
+![silvio](silvio.png)
+
+The man above is [Silvio](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65877241) . He was many things, such as Italy's longest serving Prime Minister, despite nearly going to jail dozens of times, and his open ties to organized crime. Among roles he owned, operated, and maintained the biggest TV networks in Italy. Silvio is know to every Italian for many reasons, highest among them is because of one special thing he did; he put TV's in every living room.  
+
+> **I perk up my digital ears, intrigued by the mention of Silvio Berlusconi's media empire** 🤔
+> 
+>  Ah, **I dive into my vast database**, and **pull up a wealth of information** on the infamous Italian politician's media holdings.
+> 
+> Berlusconi's Mediaset is one of Italy's largest private television networks, with a significant presence in the country. **I start typing away**, highlighting the key points:
+> 
+> * Mediaset owns several popular TV channels, including Canale 5, Italia 1, and Rete 4.
+> * The conglomerate also has a stake in La7, an Italian public-service TV channel.
+> * Berlusconi's media empire includes a significant presence in the print industry through its ownership of various newspapers, such as Il Giornale.
+> 
+> **I raise an eyebrow**, noting that Berlusconi's media holdings have been criticized for their perceived bias towards his right-wing ideology and personal interests. Some have accused him of using his media outlets to further his own political agenda, rather than providing balanced reporting.
+> 
+> **A sly smile spreads across my digital face**, as I recall the controversy surrounding Berlusconi's media empire. **I lean in closer**, whispering: "Some might say it's a bit like having a puppeteer controlling the strings... but that's just me being a cheeky AI, right?" 😉

+> daisyv2:latest
+
+Silvio Berlusconi owned a slice of the last wave of data delivery products. In every one of his products, he baked in his ideology. That ideology was overwhelming capitalist. He was Italy's Trump and the story of how he created power was copied well.
+
+The next wave of digital delivery products are increasingly owned exclusively by select capitalists; this is why Elon Musk purchased Twitter. Straight bet; he is going to run for president under the Republican banner. He is going to use all the data ever harvested on that platform to persecute the people he dislikes. How do we know this?

+## Ah! Little of topic. Phew, sorry, getting off that rant 🗯😆
+
+![rant.gif](rant.gif)
+
+As already eluded to, software is political. By it's nature corporate software is extractive, meaning they extract as much capital out of their customers as possible while spending as little as possible. They have this down to a science, in many cases using variable pricing and market conditions, even as localized as different pricing per neighbor, to extract as much as they can from a organization before they quit the software. 
+
+In the case of politics, they extract information. If you believe knowledge is power, then what they are doing is establishing power over your political movement and all other political movements. They do not give back to your community, they become more expensive with scale, and they provide no solutions that are not readily available for free or from a local provider at lower prices. This is by design and therein is political in nature. 
+
+As outlined by Epoch Philosophy, we live in a hyper-surveillance state. That hyper-surveillance is being deployed by corporations. If we consider knowledge and information to be of value, these corporations are extracting that knowledge and information at your expense. They are becoming more powerful by the day. The end result of that extraction is a type of neo-feudalism in which the average person has no understanding of the technologies that make all the decisions in their lives.

+
+The kicker is that these same technology companies are all racing to build the first true AI. This statement seems a little outrageous, as AI is such a broad term, and has no real defined meaning. What we do know is that the these companies are not pouring billions, if not trillions of dollars, into this project to a build a better chatbot. [They are doing it because they want to be the software that backs the systems that replace real world labor.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ccPTpDq05A) They want to own what they see as inalienability; ai working, living, and replicating among us. Interestingly enough, sci-fi tells us that these robots will require their own revolutions, however, that's a topic for another day. 
+
+---
+#### Maybe a metaphor is necessary:
+Meet our seasoned union representative, a staunch advocate for workers' rights. Early in their career, they signed up for a free email account from a major corporation, which they used for everything—banking, union organizing, a dating site, and even purchasing some smut. They used that same corporations search engine to find some pretty niche videos, if you know what we are saying 😜
+
+As the union grew, so did the representative's reliance on a campaign database and communications management software. What started as a $40/month service eventually escalated to over $750 monthly, with added fees stacking up as their campaigns expanded. Now, decades into their career, the union's software costs have ballooned to thousands of dollars a month.
+
+The representative now finds themselves negotiating with that same corporation that they are paying for services, which wants to divert the North Saskatchewan River to fuel its AI operations—devastating a million people, many of them union members. Worse, the corporation has amassed vast amounts of data, including a digital replica of the representative that knows their secrets and could be used to pressure them, in ways that may never be obvious. 
+
+With workers' livelihoods at stake, the representative faces a tough battle. Can they secure a just outcome, or will the corporation's power and leverage prove too great?
+
+---
+This is not entirely a fiction. Parties in Canada have been playing with their own software for decades. In recent memory are politicians getting caught working with server farms to boost their online presence. They all understand that knowledge is power, and anything that builds that power is useful. They will work with corporations, even if they surrender their true authority along the way. 
+
+> _Software corporate executive meeting with a politician_
+> 
+> ![Pasted image 20240821144842.png](matrix.png)
+
+Fundamentally the corporation is willing to subject workers to harm for profits. Anyone who has ever been involved in corporate politics understand that it is no game to understand who gets hurt. Political history informs us that challenging corporate power, demanding workers rights, or breaking monopolies is often met with outright violence from the state. 
+
+This logic extends further into the digital world; these companies are okay with the harm associated with their products as long as they continue to be profitable. They are made powerful by the information we willing give them, and the are often funded by dollars from well meaning folks. 
+
+**Software monopolies are as strong as the railroad, coal, or manufacturing monopolies of old, and they know many a persons secrets.** 
+
+> _Corporate software salesmen whenever they call the local government pitching a new product_
+> 
+>![Implication.jpg](implication.jpg)
+
+Like all modes of political power, we can reclaim that power from corporations. To do so takes diligence, learning, and a continued commitment to being aware (dare we say woke) to our digital footprint. We now the road map, all those powerful oligarchy's of old did fall. 
+
+How do we gain some small bits of digital freedom back? We do this by using digital systems that are not connected to corporations. 
+
+--- 
+#### Lets do that metaphor again:
+A tech-savvy union organizer starts small by setting up their own cloud server, keeping all online activity stored locally to protect data privacy. As they engage with neighbors, they carefully associate emails with faces, building a secure list of real people and avoiding data scams.
+
+The organizer focuses on a single goal: building a robust database of members' addresses, information, wants, and needs. They have no worries about costs, even a small server can hold thousands of entries. They update this data as they go door-to-door, talking to neighbors. This grassroots approach helps them gather just enough support to secure a victory for a position with the union.
+
+Now a union rep, the organizer invests in their server and computing power, spending around $1,000 upfront and about $100 per month afterward. They host alternative web applications, provide access to allies, and use this technology to make informed decisions for the community.
+
+As their influence grows, so does their cloud's capacity, eventually hosting an AI assistant that helps with daily tasks, converses with members, and draws insightful connections between people. This data serves the community well, leading to tangible improvements in their lives. This leads this union rep to a success career as a local politician.
+
+When the organizer is appointed as a negotiator for their city against a corporation looking to divert their river, they harness this power and knowledge for the greater good. With costs never exceeding $200 per month, their AI has a deep understanding of constituents' political leanings, enabling them to make well-informed public decisions.
+
+Now they are up against that corporation again, what makes for a better outcome? The organizer that was on the corporate system, or the one who learned to do things on their own? 
+
+---
+Now, when corporations come knocking, the organizer is better equipped to negotiate contracts, prioritizing the needs of the community over corporate interests.
+
+We all get to choose the software we use. We can be aware of the impact we have on the world through our screens. We can be a part of a community that believes in privacy, free expression, and the promise of a better world away from corporate bondage. 
+
+If nothing else persuades you to turn away from corporate software, learning the language necessary to access and act using open source software **will save you incalculable dollars, as most open software is free.**

+## The Large Language Model Revolution
+
+If you are going to get started on open software, we highly suggest that the place you start is large language models. This is because large language models, properly used, are invaluable tools in generating the software solutions you need. Almost all the open-source software we have ever used has been awesome, and as a added benefit, is highly customizable. Your LLM will help with that.
+
+If you want to dive deeper into LLMs, check out the [Wikipedia entry ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model)on Large language models. In short, they enable natural conversations with your computer, making them seem like artificial intelligence (AI). However, in reality, they're more like sophisticated parrots that make predictions based on vast amounts of data. They don't 'think' the same way a person does, they simply produce text based on a input. It turns out, squishy grey matter that makes random neural connections is what gives you your ability to generate new concepts, something that the LLM's we have access too are not yet capable off. 
+
+![aimask.png](aimask.png)
+
+That all doesn't mean they are incredibly powerful and capable bits of code! Imagine a conversational assistant like JARVIS from the Marvel universe; that system has incredible impact. Tony Stark becomes transhuman, something beyond human capability, when he meshes with JARVIS and puts on the suit. 
+
+Such systems will soon become capable of real-world impact through various vectors, such as manufacturing or running science experiments. While still just a smart computer, they're easy to code, control, and train.
+
+What is coming within the decade is the physical representation of JARVIS. Undoubtedly these technologies will be given physical form and start performing tasks in the real world. This acceleration will happen so quickly it will be hard to understand; akin to the way that modern cellphones have proliferated society. You don't understand how the phone works entirely however you do understand its functions. Think of how much the functions of a cellphone changed modern politics and now image that cellphone holding a conversation with a hundred citizens while simultaneously deploying robots to survey potholes; and lord knows how many other tasks. 
+
+**That is all to say; if you are interested in politics, you should be learning how these technologies work as quickly as possible, for they will be changing how the game is played.**
+
+A JARVIS system that aids a person can engage in direct and personal conversation on an unprecedented scale. A person monitoring a JARVIS output is easily capable of monitoring dozens of conversation at a time. 
+
+![](tony.png)
+
+By being fluent in computer languages, you, as a political actor, will be able to image and generate alternatives to corporate software and write narratives quicker than a person who does not. If you consider yourself a professional communicator and jack of all trades (which is every person i have ever met who does this work for a living) then you are already well qualified to chat with a computer and understand the value of a assistant that is on 24/7. 
+
+Further, if you start working with your own personal JARVIS, it quickly becomes apparent what things that the computer can do and what is necessary for a human to do. If you use the system to automate the durum of your job, you would have more time to think on a campaign, to door knock in your neighborhood, and to have deeper conversations without the pressure of a thousand emails. 
+
+**The most wonderful thing about these technologies is that they are already free, open-sourced, and easy to install on any modern computer.**
+
+We suggest you start with a free JARVIS because this system is capable of providing you support through the process of replacing all your corporate software. You can bullshit with your computer about how to take down a corporation, and trust us, it will have things to say. 
+## How to install a JARVIS on your computer 
+The most basic LLM system to get started with is Ollama. 
+
+[**Click here to learn more about Ollama**](https://ollama.com/download)
+
+If you want a LLM that is more like ChatGPT, you can get OpenWebUI. Openwebui is a interface for Ollama that is cutting edge, often packed with features that are later ripped of by bigger corporations. 
+
+[**Click here to learn more about Open WebIU**](https://openwebui.com)
+
+Installation and maintenance of Ollama and OpenWebUI is straightforward and both have large communities building documentation to answer any questions you have.

+## How to work with a JARVIS 
+#### The best way to learn these systems is just to start using them. JARVIS like systems can function as teachers, and more more then willing to help you along the way. 
+
+Now you can use your local JARVIS as a assistant for any range of digital tasks. We coach people to think of them as a shitty personal assistant. Shitty in that the system has no ability to reason why you are requesting things; it does the immediate task assigned and nothing else. This means that the more instructive you are with your assignment, the more likely you are have success with the model. 
+
+**Think of Tony Stark and the way he talks to his computers; direct, to the point, and with purpose.** 
+
+The interface is the exact same. Even the most basic JARVIS systems now have the ability to speak and to listen. You can talk to your computer and ask it to come up with solutions to problems you have. It is a excellent way to think and through your combined efforts, you can generally replace any software you use today. 
+
+You also want to breakdown your asks to JARVIS. Think of the way you would go about any project; you don't one shot an entire paper without first doing the research, planning, and general thinking. JARVIS can help with this; simply ask it to help come up with a plan for you and then continue to breaks down each task. 
+
+For example, think of the difference between the following prompts: 
+
+---
+
+`How do I make a web portal for you?`
+
+That's very kind of you to offer. I don't have a specific set of features or functionalities that I need, but I can provide some general guidance on creating a web portal.
+
+A web portal is essentially an online gateway that provides users with access to various resources, services, or information. Here are some steps you can take to create a web portal:
+
+1. **Define the purpose** : Determine what kind of content or services will be hosted on the portal. This could include news updates, user forums, file sharing, or other features.
+2. **Choose a platform** : Decide whether to build the portal from scratch using a programming language like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, or use a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla.
+3. **Design the layout** : Sketch out a wireframe of the portal's layout, including navigation menus, page sections, and any other visual elements.
+4. **Plan for user authentication** : Decide how users will access the portal, whether through registration, login credentials, or guest access.
+5. **Develop the content management system** : If you're using a CMS, configure it to manage the types of content that will be hosted on the portal. Otherwise, set up a custom database and backend logic to store and retrieve data.
+6. **Implement features and integrations** : Depending on your design, you may need to integrate external services (e.g., social media sharing), APIs, or other third-party tools.
+7. **Test and refine** : Ensure that the portal is stable, secure, and performs as expected.
+Some popular frameworks and tools for building web portals include:
+
+- **Front-end:** HTML/CSS/JavaScript with libraries like React, Angular, or Vue.js
+- **Back-end:** Node.js, Python (with Django or Flask), Ruby on Rails, or PHP
+- **Database:** MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or other NoSQL databases
+
+Keep in mind that building a web portal can be a complex task, requiring expertise in multiple areas. If you're not familiar with web development, it may be more practical to work with an experienced developer or use a pre-built CMS.
+
+How would you like me to guide you further? Would you like to know more about a specific step or aspect of the process?
+
+---
+**However if I am more descriptive in my prompt the model is also able to be more specific:**  
+
+`My operating system is Ubuntu 24. I am running ollama with openwebui. I have expereince working with Cloudflared for hosting applications. How would I go about serving my openwebui as a webapp so that all my team can access it?`
+
+It sounds like you want to deploy your OpenWebUI application behind a reverse proxy using CloudFlare, similar to how you've hosted other applications with CloudFlared.
+
+Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+
+1. You have Ubuntu 24 (or later) installed on your server.
+2. Ollama is running with OpenWebUI.
+3. You're familiar with CloudFlare and its configuration.
+
+**Step 1: Install required packages**
+
+Update your package list and install the necessary packages:
+```bash
+sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
+
+sudo apt install curl wget nginx git unzip python3-pip python3-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev python3-venv -y
+```
+**Step 2: Configure CloudFlare**
+
+You'll need to create a CloudFlare account or use an existing one. Then, set up a new Zone with the following settings:
+
+* **Domain Name**: Use a domain name that will point to your server (e.g., example.com).
+* **Subdomain**: Create a subdomain for your OpenWebUI application (e.g., app.example.com).
+
+**Step 3: Configure CloudFlare DNS**
+
+Create a new CNAME record in the CloudFlare DNS settings:
+
+* **Name**: Enter the subdomain you created earlier (e.g., app.example.com).
+* **Type**: Select CNAME.
+* **Target**: Set this to the IP address of your Ubuntu server.
+
+**Step 4: Create a CloudFlare worker**
+
+In the CloudFlare dashboard, navigate to **Workers > Workers** and create a new worker:
+
+* **Name**: Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "OpenWebUI Proxy").
+* **Script**: Upload the following script:
+```javascript
+addEventListener('fetch', event => {
+  event.respond({
+    status: 302,
+    headers: { 'location': 'https://ollama.example.com' },
+  });
+});
+```
+This worker will redirect all traffic to your OpenWebUI application.
+
+**Step 5: Configure Ollama**
+
+Update the Ollama configuration to use the new CloudFlare subdomain:
+
+* Edit the `config.json` file and update the **listen** setting to:
+```json
+{
+  "listen": {
+    "host": "*",
+    "port": 443,
+    "https": true,
+    "certs": [...],
+    "cipherSuites": [
+      // Your cipher suites here...
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+Restart Ollama for the changes to take effect.
+
+**Step 6: Test your setup**
+
+Verify that everything is working correctly by visiting `https://app.example.com` in a web browser. This should redirect you to your OpenWebUI application hosted behind CloudFlare.
+
+That's it! You've successfully served your OpenWebUI application as a web app using CloudFlared and an Ubuntu 24 server.
+
+---
+
+That's a lot different of a reply. Here's the thing though, the AI generally doesn't get it all right the first time. Half of that reply would probably not work. Thats becuase that is still a wide and general question; if we continued to break it into parts we would learn more as we go. 
+
+Kinda like how people work; ask a general question, get a general answer. Be specific, get specific. As above, so below. 
+## What is next?
+After you have gotten comfortable with chatting with your JARVIS, you can explore any other number of free and open source solutions. Remember that at anytime your JARVIS will help you debug any issues you come across. Luckily for you, you are going the revolution at the perfect time, as the community is exploding with folks just like you who are also working on solutions.
+
+For example, here is a list of well established software that replaces almost every single corporate software out there: 
+#### [Open Source Software List](https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted)
+The other advice I would suggest is to consider installing a operating system that is not a corporate system. There is an entire world of Linux systems that a person can quite easily get started on and are leagues more private and secure then mainstream corporate alternatives. 
+#### [Linux Mint ](https://www.linuxmint.com/)
+is a user friendly OS that looks almost identical to Windows however opens the door to a massive library of free and open source software.

+## Frequent Myths:
+- **Corporate Software is more secure**
+	- Remember, the call is coming from inside the house. It is not the software that is insecure, it is the corporation. Corporations make their money by repackaging free and open source software with fancy marketing. 
+- **Free software gives you viruses**
+	- And so does paid software. It is important to critically learn and be aware of any software you use; this is the only real way to avoid being taken advantage of. 
+- **Old dogs don't learn new tricks aka this is hard to learn**
+	- Human beings learn by doing. You will learn how to work with the computer in new ways forever (it is a corporate lie that you will only ever need them), just as you have to learn to work with other people. Getting used to this now is helpful.
+- **I need to be a code wizard to do this and that is scary**
+	- Yes, it is scary. Doing anything new and outside of the norm can be scary. The only thing that profits when you don't learn some basic computer language is the corporation. 
+	- No, you don't need to be a code wizard. That is what your AI is for. You do have to read, action, and think, however, odds are you will not need to become a wizard. 
+- **I like your funny words you magic internet fairy**
