[liberationtech] Defund Big Tech, Refund Community: Another Tech is Possible

[Doug Schuler]

That wikipedia "definition" is really funky — and idiosyncratic to whomever
dreamt it up.

"processes that would otherwise be natural" -----   Huh?!?!?     Like
oppression? Neoliberalism?

Just use the definition I suggested and we'll be fine! :-)

And agreed that critiques without proposals are incomplete.

Thanks!
