High modernism should not be used as an insult considering the monumental successes of the era of high modernism on many progressive policy goals in contrast to the half-wins that came after that era.

wait shit the YIMBYland graphic basically made this clear

what the absolute fuck is that horrorshow graphic 0.o

i googled it and i regret finding out. (and of course the creators of that abomination identify themselves as the yellow picture AKA ayn rand abundance)

I just want to acknowledge that you successfully shared this information with me and now I get to regret it as well

regret abundance

So many versions of plenty. Guess I’m thinking to small in that I think everyone who wants to should be able to afford to live in a home in one of these abundtopias..where they’ll probably also work..easing Maslow’s base levels seems like a first step to creating “abundance”.

Red Abundance sounds basically like we’re raising this guy from the dead to fix things.

I like that they couldn't bring themselves to call the one that's Explicitly Socialism abundance

I thought it was named after the book

why not both?

Fuck man, how can something so innocuous be so menacing

It's the repetition? The arbitrary, self-insistent categories that aren't meaningfully differentiated, except in emotion? Like someone who didn't really "get it" decided to create a taxonomy for the aesthetic of it, a totally valid exercise?

lol wait did you see that the third Lib bullet was literally mid-sentence spurious

Forming a Laser Color Alliance to invade and liberate the other ones tbh

“Dark abundance” ffs

They say Dark they mean Dork. Yarvin, Andreesen, etc. all vibe like they are relitigating the time they gave up their lunch money in grade five and Biff still punched them out.

Give me White Mana Abundance or else, also

Encountered the graphic out of context and legit thought it was a pro-red plenty / cascadian abundance graphic at first. Still not clear to me how the creator expected me to be turned off from those ideas purely based on this graphic.

oh, I don't think it's aiming for that—I think it's just trying to be "six happy flavors in one happy family"

Idk, it convinced me four of them suck super hard.

Top two seem pretty awesome though, right?

I think if you cleaned this up this is kinda cool. Gives fixing the housing crisis a feeling of adventure. Maybe just me tho

Dark Abundance: Destroy broken government and replace it with effective, centralized power Achieve energy dominance at all costs Support industrial policy to encourage innovation and deployment of new technologies (photo unrelated)

deep substrate foliated kalkite abundance

i hate everything about this. the framing. the color choices. the ideologies. This is my enemy

the person who made this sees these ideas as different factions one might choose in an RTS.

i need to learn how to play this damn game

Buy the strategy guide

I know I shouldn't have strong opinions on where Terra Invicta factions are on a political alignment chart, but...

So much abundance. Metabundance!

But isn’t modernism good ?

as a threads commenter pointed out, oops on the third bullet

Also happens in Red Plenty

this is AI-generated in an example of Dark Abundance

My eyes actually skipped ahead and I read the third bullet point first, so I thought this was some kind of lib hate at first lol.

Thats what happens when you make clanker art.

tag yourself i'm a mix of red plenty and cascadian abundance

I hate this graphic SO MUCH what the hell

My favorite part of this graphic is still the cop uniform hanging outside the Moderate Abundance house like a combination scarecrow/memorial

my favorite part is the "become paralyzed and ineffective" bullet point on blue abundance

Yeah, if you don't even proof read your own graphic, I'm gonna wonder what other details you were too galaxy-brained to think through deeply.

It's wild that it is put like a quarterly goal

I think it's supposed to be the end of the previous bullet point, but it's AI slop so no one proofread it

Useless paralysis is not an option. It is a goal my bespoke ideology aims to achieve

"How much abundance?" I'm not sure. But certainly not too much! "A moderate amount?" A moderate amount of abundance sounds perfect!

Effigy

Okay, making Abundance not entirely Green turned out to be the right call after all.

good that they already got the YIMBY caucuses planned out for when they try to make a centrist mass org
