Washing machine and green revolution baybee too most emancipatory inventions in history
This post and the replies are good hearted laments and commiserations. BUT: if I may offer a small ode of praise here— this is why the washing machine is one of the 4 or 5 greatest technologies of the past millennia, up there with lenscrafting, or the verge escapement.
Bluesky parents: does the "there's no way. this is not possible. I *just* did laundry" ever stop or is that just my life now

Princess Mononoke remains an incredible film. Love that no matter the technology of the setting, what's cutting edge in a Miyazaki film has both terrifying and emancipatory implications.

Right-wing coups sweeping through the West are diminishing possibilities of emancipatory change.
Books, scientific journals are being censored to reshape people’s subjectivities, produce docile population
The world needs critical thinkers, not foot-soldiers for corporations and the ultra rich.

Nothing convinces me that democracy remains a radical and emancipatory ideal more than seeing that our political and media elites so clearly do not believe in it
This an absolute insane and irresponsible way to frame a military crackdown on the freedom to protest.
As Immigration Protests Grip California, Democrats Enter Risky Political Terrain
Scenes of unrest in Southern California, stoked by President Trump as he tries to deport more immigrants, have left Democratic leaders worried the confrontation elevates a losing issue for the party.

These were fundamentally democratic acts. Fraser and Warner showed that counterpublics can strengthen democracy by widening who gets heard and what gets scrutinised. The concept was born from progressive, emancipatory movements.

I don't understand this impulse at all. What is the point of automation if it isn't emancipatory, freeing more people to engage in the soulcraft like the liberal arts.

The problem with AI is the same as the problem with the internet, and America, and the planet—namely, it’s controlled by a tiny oligarchy and their systems of rapacious extraction.
Like the internet, AI could be an emancipatory technology if it was under a form of democratic control.

I know I talk a lot about the larp Baphomet, but that was where I first experienced emancipatory bleed. I didn’t understand the anger/empowerment I was feeling until I spoke with @violetriotgames.bsky.social who actually coined the term and I’m so grateful she did

It's really not great that a whole lot of self-identified leftists are now pushing the "Israeli Jews just steal other people's food" and think they're doing something emancipatory by doing it.

Donald Trump made $56 billion this weekend off a meme coin.
As I wrote in this month's @bylinetimes.bsky.social, the crypto industry may brand itself as an emancipatory force for good – but at its core, its institutionalised fraud.

It is genuinely revisionist to overplay the role of republican liberalism in the emancipatory politics of that era. They literally abandoned the project the moment it became convenient! That was the entire point of Hayes!
