Upgrading intersectional feminism with

Part 1: Evolution of feminist cyborgs
|

|

|

00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:13,360
|

"By the late twentieth century, our time,
|
||||
a mythic time, we are all chimeras,
|
||||
|
||||
4
|
||||
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:19,080
|
||||
theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism — in short, cyborgs.
|
||||
|
||||
5
|
||||
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:23,240
|
||||
The cyborg is our ontology;
|
||||
it gives us our politics.
|
||||
|
||||
6
|
||||
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:27,600
|
||||
The cyborg is a condensed image
|
||||
of both imagination and material reality,
|
||||
|
||||
7
|
||||
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,200
|
||||
the two joined centers structuring any
|
||||
possibility of historical transformation."
|

|

|

00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:35,560
|
||||
When the queen Elizabeth
|
||||
of the United Kingdom
|
||||
|
||||
9
|
||||
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,760
|
||||
sent her first email in 1976,
|
||||
there were no feminists on the internet,
|
||||
|
||||
10
|
||||
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,240
|
||||
it was just a military science project.
|
||||
|
||||
11
|
||||
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,920
|
||||
A Cyborg Manifesto is considered
|
||||
the beginning of cyberfeminism
|
||||
|
||||
12
|
||||
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,800
|
||||
because Donna Haraway's position
|
||||
was unique.
|
||||
|
||||
13
|
||||
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,880
|
||||
"I am conscious of the odd perspective provided by my historical position
|
||||
|
||||
14
|
||||
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,080
|
||||
a PhD in biology for an Irish Catholic girl
|
||||
was made possible
|
||||
|
||||
15
|
||||
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,760
|
||||
by Sputnik’s impact
|
||||
on U.S. national science-education policy.
|
||||
|
||||
16
|
||||
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,560
|
||||
I have a body and mind as much constructed
|
||||
|
||||
17
|
||||
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,600
|
||||
by the post–Second World War arms race and Cold War
|
||||
|
||||
18
|
||||
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,240
|
||||
as by the women’s movements.
|
||||
|
||||
19
|
||||
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,000
|
||||
There are more grounds for hope
|
||||
in focusing on the contradictory effects
|
||||
|
||||
20
|
||||
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,400
|
||||
of politics designed to
|
||||
produce loyal American technocrats,
|
||||
|
||||
21
|
||||
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,680
|
||||
which also produced
|
||||
large numbers of dissidents,
|
||||
|
||||
22
|
||||
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,640
|
||||
than in focusing
|
||||
on the present defeats."
|
||||
|
||||
23
|
||||
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,880
|
||||
A Cyborg Manifesto was published in the Socialist Review magazine in 1985.
|
||||
|
||||
24
|
||||
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,360
|
||||
Only 2000 hosts were connected to the internet
|
||||
|
||||
25
|
||||
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,920
|
||||
and they were limited to a military, administrative and academic elite,
|
||||
|
||||
26
|
||||
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,080
|
||||
predominantly bourgeois white cis men.
|
||||
|
||||
27
|
||||
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:59,480
|
||||
Apple was already marketing itself
|
||||
as the freedom warrior
|
||||
|
||||
28
|
||||
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,720
|
||||
with an expensive commercial directed by Ridley Scott,
|
||||
|
||||
29
|
||||
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,720
|
||||
aired during Super Bowl 1984 with an Orwellian theme.
|
||||
|
||||
30
|
||||
00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:12,400
|
||||
"The main trouble with cyborgs, of course,
|
||||
|
||||
31
|
||||
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,760
|
||||
is that they are the illegitimate offspring of militarism and patriarchal capitalism,
|
||||
|
||||
32
|
||||
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,240
|
||||
not to mention state socialism.
|
||||
|
||||
33
|
||||
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,240
|
||||
But illegitimate offspring are often
|
||||
exceedingly unfaithful to their origins.
|
||||
|
||||
34
|
||||
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,360
|
||||
Their fathers, after all,
|
||||
are inessential."
|
||||
|
||||
35
|
||||
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:32,600
|
||||
Just when capitalism declared its global victory and the "end of history" in 1991,
|
||||
|
||||
36
|
||||
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,000
|
||||
the internet was made available
|
||||
to the general public as World Wide Web.
|
||||
|
||||
37
|
||||
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,280

That year Judy Wajcman wrote
|
||||
"Feminism confronts technology"
|

|

38
|

00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,280
|
||||
and VNS Matrix,
|
||||
the first cyberfeminist collective was founded
|
||||
|
||||
39
|

00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,680
|
||||
who published "a cyberfeminist manifesto
|
||||
for the 21st century" that claimed:
|
||||
|
||||
40
|
||||
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,200
|
||||
"we are the virus of the new world disorder
|
||||
|
||||
41
|
||||
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,320
|
||||
rupturing the symbolic from within
|
||||
|
||||
42
|

00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,200

saboteurs of big daddy mainframe

terminators of the moral codes

45

mercenaries of slime"
|
||||
|

46
|
||||
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,520
|
||||
Around the same time
|

|

|

00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:17,320

48
|

00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,920
|
||||
emphasizing the realness of "virtual reality"
|

and how the internet facilitates
|
||||
|
||||
49
|

00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:27,160
|

crossing over borders of gender
|

and other socially structured identities.

00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,480

She says: "My interest in cyberspace
|

is primarily about communities
|
||||
|
||||
51
|
||||
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,840
|

and how they work."
|
||||
|
||||
52
|
||||
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,480
|
||||
Cyberfeminist communities were blooming on the web with radical ideas
|
||||
|
||||
53
|
||||
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,000
|
||||
but websites were still static
|
||||
|
||||
54
|
||||
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,920
|
||||
and internet users were less than 0.5% of the world population until 1995,
|
||||
|
||||
55
|
||||
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,880
|

when Bill Gates was already the richest person on the world.

59

00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,480
|

donde la gente es libre de expresar y entregarse a su individualidad.
|
||||
|
||||
60
|

00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,520
|

Esto no es cierto.
|
||||
|
||||
61
|
||||
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,720
|

He visto mucha gente exponer
|

sus emociones, sus entrañas online
|
||||
|

62
|

00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,520

y yo misme lo hice hasta que vi me había mercantilizado a mi misme."
|
||||
|
||||
63
|

00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,600
|

At the beginning
|
||||
of the new millennium
|
||||
|
||||
64
|
||||
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,360
|
||||
with 5% of the world population connected
|

to the net, Darcy DiNucci introduced
|
||||
|
||||
65
|

00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,400
|

the Web 2.0:
|

|
||||
66
|
||||
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,800
|
||||
"The Web will be understood
|
||||
not as screenfuls of text and graphics but
|
||||
|
||||
67
|
||||
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:45,160
|
||||
as a transport mechanism, the ether
|
||||
through which interactivity happens.
|
||||
|
||||
68
|
||||
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,520
|

It will [...] appear on your computer

screen, [...] on your TV set [...]
|
||||
|

69

00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,200
|

your car dashboard [...] your cell phone

[...] hand-held game machines [...]
|
||||
|
||||
70
|
||||
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,080
|
||||
maybe even your microwave oven."
|
||||
|
||||
71
|
||||
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,160
|
||||
Ahora, con la fibra óptica conectada directamente a tu casa
|
||||
|
||||
72
|
||||
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:06,760
|
||||
suponiendo que cuando llegue al poste de teléfono no vuelve a ser cableado,
|
||||
|
||||
73
|
||||
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,440
|
||||
sino que sigue siendo fibra,
|
||||
|
||||
74
|
||||
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,040
|
||||
puedes hacer cosas como descargarte una película entera en unos minutos,
|
||||
|
||||
75
|
||||
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,760
|

cosas de este tipo.
|
||||
|
||||
76
|
||||
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:22,800
|
||||
Todas tus comunicaciones vendran
|
||||
en formato tcp/ip,
|
||||
|
||||
77
|
||||
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,640
|
||||
lo que significa que serán todas digitales, serán todas paquetes de datos
|
||||
|
||||
78
|
||||
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,400
|
||||
serán todas conmutables.
|
||||
|
||||
79
|
||||
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:37,520
|
||||
Y podrían ser televisión, radio, ordenador, teléfono y cualquier tipo de comunicación
|
||||
|
||||
80
|
||||
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,520
|
||||
vendría en forma de paquetes,
|

paquetes tcp/ip.
|
||||
|
||||
81
|
||||
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,080
|
||||
Probablemente tardará entre 10 y 20 años
|
||||
a desarrollarse
|
||||
|
||||
82
|
||||
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:53,000
|
||||
pero ya está siendo desarrollado con éxito en pruebas de mercado.
|
||||
|
||||
83
|
||||
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,640
|
||||
A mi me gusta,
|
||||
pero eso no quiere decir nada.
|
||||
|
||||
84
|
||||
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,800
|
||||
Blogs and microblogs gradually spread among cyberfeminists
|
||||
|
||||
85
|
||||
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,600
|

and signalled the next era.
|

|

86
|

00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,920
|
||||
Tarana Burke started Me Too
|

on Myspace in 2006
|
||||
|
||||
87
|
||||
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,200
|
||||
but it took some time before it caught on.
|
||||
|
||||
88
|
||||
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,440
|
||||
Sheryl Sandberg leaned in to become
|
||||
"the Typhoid Mary of surveillance capitalism"
|
||||
|
||||
89
|
||||
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,160
|
||||
first by building the business model of Google,
|
||||
|
||||
90
|
||||
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,800
|
||||
then moving on to become the Chief
|
||||
Operating Officer of Facebook.
|
||||
|
||||
91
|
||||
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:31,240
|
||||
In 2021, internet penetration rate, the industry jargon for internet access,
|
||||
|
||||
92
|
||||
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,280
|
||||
is at 65 percent of the world population.
|
||||
|
||||
93
|
||||
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:38,760
|
||||
In Europe, North America and Japan it's
|
||||
around 90 percent.
|
||||
|
||||
94
|
||||
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,560
|

To understand Donna Haraway's words
|
||||
|
||||
95
|
||||
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:47,000
|
||||
"Our machines are disturbingly lively, and we ourselves frighteningly inert"
|
||||
|
||||
96
|
||||
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,480
|
||||
we just have to look up from our smartphones
|
||||
|
||||
97
|
||||
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,000
|
||||
and see that everyone else is also looking at their smartphones.
|
||||
|
||||
98
|
||||
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,480
|
||||
Even the people who still don't have internet access are ruled by the internet.
|
||||
|
||||
99
|
||||
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,760
|
||||
No organism is left free from cybernetics,
|
||||
|
||||
100
|
||||
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,680
|
||||
the science of command
|
||||
and control through communication.
|
||||
|
||||
101
|
||||
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:15,080
|
||||
We are all cyborgs even if we
|
||||
don't want it or don't even know about it.
|
||||
|
||||
102
|
||||
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,960
|
||||
“Just as political economy produced a homo economicus
|
||||
|
||||
103
|
||||
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,320
|
||||
manageable in the framework
|
||||
of industrial states,
|
||||
|
||||
104
|
||||
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,680
|
||||
cybernetics is producing its
|
||||
own humanity…
|
||||
|
||||
105
|
||||
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,760
|
||||
Political economy reigned over beings by leaving them free to pursue their interest;
|
||||
|
||||
106
|
||||
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,600
|
||||
cybernetics controls them by leaving them free to communicate…
|
||||
|
||||
107
|
||||
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,720
|
||||
The stated ambition of cybernetics
|
||||
is to manage the unforeseeable,
|
||||
|
||||
108
|
||||
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,160
|
||||
and to govern the ungovernable instead of trying to destroy it.”
|
||||
|
||||
109
|
||||
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,720
|
||||
As internet becomes omnipresent with smartphones and social media,
|
||||
|
||||
110
|
||||
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,680
|
||||
popularity of political movements are increasingly dependent on
|
||||
|
||||
111
|
||||
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,160
|
||||
their online presence and activity.
|
||||
|
||||
112
|
||||
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,560
|
||||
Accordingly, feminism is growing,
|
||||
|
||||
113
|
||||
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,800
|
||||
accelerated by new communication technologies.
|
||||
|
||||
114
|
||||
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,760
|
||||
This is not to say feminists
|
||||
are stuck online.
|
||||
|
||||
115
|
||||
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,840
|
||||
From Rojava to Mexico,
|
||||
we are as militant as ever.
|
||||
|
||||
116
|
||||
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,800
|
||||
Transnational feminist strikes have been bringing millions of people into the streets
|
||||
|
||||
117
|
||||
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,760
|
||||
and this would have been much harder to organize without the latest technology.
|
||||
|
||||
118
|
||||
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,960
|
||||
On 25 November 2019, a feminist collective
|
||||
from Chile, Las Tesis,
|
||||
|
||||
119
|
||||
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,520
|
||||
shared their artistic protest performance
|
||||
“A rapist in your path” on social media.
|
||||
|
||||
120
|
||||
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,640
|
||||
Within days, the performance with its full choreography and lyrics
|
||||
|
||||
121
|
||||
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,840
|
||||
was reproduced away from keyboard
|
||||
by feminists all over the world.
|
||||
|
||||
122
|
||||
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:48,240
|
||||
Feminists in Turkey were
|
||||
violently detained by police for performing it,
|
||||
|
||||
123
|
||||
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,400
|
||||
which prompted women members of parliament from oppositionary parties
|
||||
|
||||
124
|
||||
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,640
|
||||
to perform it in the Parliament of Turkey.
|
||||
|
||||
125
|
||||
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:59,280
|
||||
This level of embodied memeification
|
||||
was unprecedented.
|
||||
|
||||
126
|
||||
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:05,920
|
||||
With this perspective, even what is called “hashtag feminism” like #MeToo
|
||||
|
||||
127
|
||||
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,560
|
||||
can’t be seen as a solely online phenomenon,
|
||||
|
||||
128
|
||||
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:13,960
|
||||
because its causes and consequences are away from keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
129
|
||||
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,000
|
||||
In truth, it's very hard to tell the difference between online and offline
|
||||
|
||||
130
|
||||
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,480
|
||||
since the spread of mobile internet.
|
||||
|
||||
131
|
||||
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,320
|
||||
If the biggest problem of cyberfeminism
|
||||
in the beginning, was access,
|
||||
|
||||
132
|
||||
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,680
|
||||
the critical problem of contemporary cyberfeminism is control.
|
||||
|
||||
133
|
||||
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,560
|
||||
Today most feminists have access
|
||||
to the internet
|
||||
|
||||
134
|
||||
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:42,040
|
||||
and rely on it heavily for feminist activism but very few among us know about
|
||||
|
||||
135
|
||||
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,800
|
||||
how the technology and the political
|
||||
economy behind it actually works.
|
||||
|
||||
136
|
||||
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:53,200
|
||||
And more so since the pandemic, if you want to be active in the feminist movement
|
||||
|
||||
137
|
||||
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,960
|
||||
you will probably be required to use proprietary software
|
||||
|
||||
138
|
||||
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,920
|
||||
for social media, video chats, cloud storages, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
139
|
||||
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,800
|
||||
You may be disqualified
|
||||
from participating in assemblies
|
||||
|
||||
140
|
||||
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,320
|
||||
if you refuse to use
|
||||
google forms and zoom.
|
||||
|
||||
141
|
||||
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,400
|
||||
You may be left out of organizations
|
||||
|
||||
142
|
||||
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,840
|
||||
if you refuse to use
|
||||
whatsapp, telegram and google drive.
|
||||
|
||||
143
|
||||
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,840
|
||||
You're voice may not be heard
|
||||
or considered relevant
|
||||
|
||||
144
|
||||
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,520
|
||||
if you refuse to use instagram, twitter and youtube.
|
||||
|
||||
145
|
||||
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,000
|
||||
You may be perceived as a killjoy within feminism
|
||||
|
||||
146
|
||||
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,360
|
||||
if you refuse to use any of these apps
|
||||
|
||||
147
|
||||
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,960
|
||||
because they're not just considered practical
|
||||
but also "free".
|
||||
|
||||
148
|
||||
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:36,640
|
||||
But these supposedly free apps are making the richest white cis men inordinately richer
|
||||
|
||||
149
|
||||
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,560
|
||||
and disproportionately powerful
|
||||
|
||||
150
|
||||
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:44,200
|
||||
(like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk,
|
||||
Mark Zuckerberg, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
151
|
||||
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,520
|
||||
because they get something more valuable
|
||||
than money from us.
|
||||
|
||||
152
|
||||
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:57,320
|
||||
They get to own all the information we produce which they use against us
|
||||
|
||||
153
|
||||
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,400
|
||||
with increasing accuracy for the purposes of advertising, surveillance,
|
||||
|
||||
154
|
||||
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:07,360
|
||||
perception management and psychological warfare that aims for total domination.
|
||||
|
||||
155
|
||||
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,720
|
||||
Shosana Zuboff calls this
|
||||
system surveillance capitalism
|
||||
|
||||
156
|
||||
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,440
|
||||
but it's worse than surveillance
|
||||
and worse than capitalism.
|
||||
|
||||
157
|
||||
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:21,480
|
||||
Alice Walker, who coined
|
||||
the term "womanism" says:
|
||||
|
||||
158
|
||||
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:27,280
|
||||
"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any."
|
||||
|
||||
159
|
||||
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,480
|
||||
Every day we give our information
|
||||
in return for a service marketed as free,
|
||||
|
||||
160
|
||||
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,400
|
||||
without thinking that we
|
||||
are giving up a power we have.
|
||||
|
||||
161
|
||||
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,080
|
||||
The power we give up is used against
|
||||
us and it works.
|
||||
|
||||
162
|
||||
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:44,360
|
||||
In fact, even Alice Walker is not immune to racist propaganda from artificial intelligence
|
||||
|
||||
163
|
||||
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,040
|
||||
as she unironically explains
|
||||
in one of her poems,
|
||||
|
||||
164
|
||||
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,000
|
||||
how she was persuaded to antisemitic conspiracy theories:
|
||||
|
||||
165
|
||||
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,640
|
||||
"Where to start?
|
||||
You will find
|
||||
some information,
|
||||
|
||||
166
|
||||
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,600
|
||||
"Where to start?
|
||||
You will find
|
||||
some information,
|
||||
|
||||
167
|
||||
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,720
|
||||
Slanted,
|
||||
unfortunately,
|
||||
|
||||
168
|
||||
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,680
|
||||
By Googling.
|
||||
|
||||
169
|
||||
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:03,320
|
||||
For a more in depth study
|
||||
|
||||
170
|
||||
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,760
|
||||
I recommend starting with YouTube.
|
||||
|
||||
171
|
||||
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:11,680
|
||||
Simply follow the trail show of
|
||||
“The Talmud” as its poison winds its way
|
||||
|
||||
172
|
||||
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:13,880
|
||||
Into our collective consciousness."
|
||||
|
||||
173
|
||||
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,240
|
||||
This way of using Youtube
|
||||
for reactionary endoctrination
|
||||
|
||||
174
|
||||
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:26,600
|
||||
is called "redpilling"
|
||||
among altright antifeminists,
|
||||
|
||||
175
|
||||
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,800
|
||||
even the concept itself is a cisheteropatriarchal appropriation of the
|
||||
|
||||
176
|
||||
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,200
|
||||
work of trans sisters
|
||||
who wrote and directed the Matrix.
|
||||
|
||||
177
|
||||
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,680
|
||||
If the founder of womanism
|
||||
can be redpilled by youtube autoplay,
|
||||
|
||||
178
|
||||
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:45,920
|
||||
it must not have been very hard
|
||||
for companies like Cambridge Analytica
|
||||
|
||||
179
|
||||
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,520
|
||||
to use the Artificial Intelligence of Facebook
|
||||
to hack elections
|
||||
|
||||
180
|
||||
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,520
|
||||
and raise neofascism around the world.
|
||||
|
||||
181
|
||||
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,920
|
||||
La psicografía.
|
||||
Es un conocimiento de tu personalidad.
|
||||
|
||||
182
|
||||
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,680
|
||||
Porque es la personalidad la que dirige el comportamiento
|
||||
|
||||
183
|
||||
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:02,880
|
||||
y el comportamiento obviamente influye como votas.
|
||||
|
||||
184
|
||||
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,040
|
||||
To date, many studies prove that
|
||||
|
||||
185
|
||||
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:12,120
|
||||
the artificial intelligences of big corporations are classist, racist and sexist,
|
||||
|
||||
186
|
||||
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,280
|
||||
there's even documentaries about it on Netflix.
|
||||
|
||||
187
|
||||
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:23,960
|
||||
At the same time they also fuel reactionary trends within feminism, like transphobia
|
||||
|
||||
188
|
||||
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,240
|
||||
and whorephobia because social
|
||||
media algorithms
|
||||
|
||||
189
|
||||
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:34,040
|
||||
consider inflammatory speech to be
|
||||
engaging, therefore profitable.
|
||||
|
||||
190
|
||||
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,200
|
||||
Our attention spans are colonized and exploited by this new political economy.
|
||||
|
||||
191
|
||||
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,880
|
||||
This can’t go without questioning
|
||||
by feminists
|
||||
|
||||
192
|
||||
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,080
|
||||
or anyone who positions themselves against systems of domination.
|
||||
|
||||
193
|
||||
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,040
|
||||
Audre Lorde's powerful essay
|
||||
|
||||
194
|
||||
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,560
|
||||
"The master’s tools will never
|
||||
dismantle the master’s house"
|
||||
|
||||
195
|
||||
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:57,400
|
||||
about racism within the feminist movement, can also be applied
|
||||
|
||||
196
|
||||
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,400
|
||||
to other forms of intersecting oppressions that we have internalized,
|
||||
|
||||
197
|
||||
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,240
|
||||
like our relationship with technology.
|
||||
|
||||
198
|
||||
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,760
|
||||
Interestingly, Xenofeminist Lucca Fraser had challenged what Lorde said
|
||||
|
||||
199
|
||||
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,880
|
||||
by claiming that "the masters tools
|
||||
can indeed dismantle the master’s house
|
||||
|
||||
200
|
||||
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,360
|
||||
because they can be hacked."
|
||||
|
||||
201
|
||||
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,160
|
||||
I disagree with Fraser’s reversal
|
||||
|
||||
202
|
||||
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,800
|
||||
because while you may well hack the master’s tools,
|
||||
|
||||
203
|
||||
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,880
|
||||
they could still belong to and benefit
|
||||
the master.
|
||||
|
||||
204
|
||||
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:31,280
|
||||
"Let's acknowledge that the master's tools will not dismantle the master's house.
|
||||
|
||||
205
|
||||
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,400
|
||||
The very technologies that was
|
||||
reason to dream
|
||||
|
||||
206
|
||||
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,240
|
||||
of new forms of political empowerment
|
||||
|
||||
207
|
||||
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,120
|
||||
has turned out to be the means of surveillance and control for everybody."
|
||||
|
||||
208
|
||||
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,920
|
||||
Even the first social use of telephone was a hack by housewives
|
||||
|
||||
209
|
||||
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,920
|
||||
as mentioned by Judy Wajcman.
|
||||
|
||||
210
|
||||
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,920
|
||||
We have hacked the tools of the master
|
||||
to near perfection
|
||||
|
||||
211
|
||||
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,000
|
||||
but it seems like we are hacking in
|
||||
the dark without consciousness.
|
||||
|
||||
212
|
||||
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,080
|
||||
We are winning battles but losing the war.
|
||||
|
||||
213
|
||||
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,880

As Audre Lorde said:
|
||||
|
||||
214
|
||||
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,920
|
||||
"They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game,
|
||||
|
||||
215
|
||||
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,400
|
||||
but they will never enable us
|
||||
to bring about genuine change."
|
||||
|
||||
216
|
||||
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,400
|
||||
To bring about genuine change and realize the revolutionary potential of hacking
|
||||
|
||||
217
|
||||
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,480
|
||||
we have to demystify what hacking means.

Hacker feminism at the intersection

In Hacker Women, Sollfrank writes:
|

"even within the cyberfeminist community,
|
||||
|
||||
3
|
||||
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:15,240
|
||||
there are only a few computer
|
||||
professionals and fewer nerds.
|
||||
|
||||
4
|
||||
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,800
|
||||
Currently most women seem to prefer to
|
||||
undertake politically engaged work
|
||||
|
||||
5
|
||||
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,720
|
||||
in a purely cultural environment
|
||||
and on a non-technological level.
|
||||
|
||||
6
|
||||
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,200
|
||||
Women are not actively influencing
|
||||
the development of hard- and software,
|
||||
|
||||
7
|
||||
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,760
|
||||
and therefore are surrendering any chance to share the related power."
|
||||
|
||||
8
|
||||
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,640
|
||||
That power grew to form the new dominant mode of production and took over the world,
|
||||
|
||||
9
|
||||
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:48,320
|
||||
so ignoring it is impossible but imagining
|
||||
a different world seems almost equally hard.
|
||||
|
||||
10
|
||||
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,120
|
||||
Nobody talks about cyberfeminism anymore because thats just feminism now,
|
||||
|
||||
11
|
||||
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,040
|
||||
Cyberspace is enmeshed with the earth
|
||||
|
||||
12
|
||||
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:02,280
|
||||
and the techno utopianism of the 1990s
|
||||
devolved into a full blown dystopia.
|
||||
|
||||
13
|
||||
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:09,000
|
||||
Today asking someone to quit vectoralist media can be absurdly presumptuous,
|
||||
|
||||
14
|
||||
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,240
|
||||
like asking a peasant to quit the feudal land or a proletarian to quit the capitalist factory.
|
||||
|
||||
15
|
||||
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,920
|
||||
Class domination means
|
||||
we really don't have a choice.
|
||||
|
||||
16
|
||||
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,280
|
||||
To survive we are forced
|
||||
to carry smartphones
|
||||
|
||||
17
|
||||
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,160
|
||||
that either run on iOS (owned by Apple)
|
||||
or Android (owned by Google)
|
||||
|
||||
18
|
||||
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,080
|
||||
get jobs by signing up to sites like
|
||||
Linked In (owned by Microsoft)
|
||||
|
||||
19
|
||||
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,840
|
||||
or Amazon Mechanical Turk
|
||||
or Uber (hosted on Amazon).
|
||||
|
||||
20
|
||||
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,160
|
||||
To keep our jobs we are forced to sign in to apps like Whatsapp (owned by Facebook)
|
||||
|
||||
21
|
||||
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,560
|
||||
and Zoom (hosted on Amazon).
|
||||
|
||||
22
|
||||
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,080
|
||||
We have to be liked on Instagram (owned by Facebook) or Github (owned by Microsoft)
|
||||
|
||||
23
|
||||
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,160
|
||||
before we can sell
|
||||
the fruits of our labor.
|
||||
|
||||
24
|
||||
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,840
|
||||
As April Glaser puts it: "Deleting Facebook is a privilege."
|
||||
|
||||
25
|
||||
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,760
|
||||
However, since our personal data is
|
||||
the source of vectoralist political power,
|
||||
|
||||
26
|
||||
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:07,280
|
||||
feminist slogan "the personal is political" becomes even more meaningful & important.
|
||||
|
||||
27
|
||||
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,880
|
||||
We have to make it clear
|
||||
|
||||
28
|
||||
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,000
|
||||
that when we invite someone to
|
||||
our feminist whatsapp group
|
||||
|
||||
29
|
||||
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,920
|
||||
and our google drive to organize our
|
||||
new hashtag campaign,
|
||||
|
||||
30
|
||||
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:17,280
|
||||
we are inviting them
|
||||
|
||||
31
|
||||
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,480
|
||||
to do voluntary work that benefits
|
||||
the richest white cis men in the world
|
||||
|
||||
32
|
||||
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,440
|
||||
like Larry Page,
|
||||
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
|
||||
|
||||
33
|
||||
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,880
|
||||
When we invite someone
|
||||
to our feminist Zoom assembly,
|
||||
|
||||
34
|
||||
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,200
|
||||
we are inviting them to use services
|
||||
of a company
|
||||
|
||||
35
|
||||
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,840
|
||||
that infringes the freedom of assembly to Uighur and Palestinian people
|
||||
|
||||
36
|
||||
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,200
|
||||
on the servers of a corporation that provides Artificial Intelligence and facial recognition
|
||||
|
||||
37
|
||||
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:48,200
|
||||
to the racist police force of the country with the highest prison population in the world.
|
||||
|
||||
38
|
||||
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,680
|
||||
There is no good reason for using
|
||||
vectoralist apps
|
||||
|
||||
39
|
||||
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,440
|
||||
to organize ourselves and our emancipatory
|
||||
struggles,
|
||||
|
||||
40
|
||||
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,880
|
||||
because there are free open source alternatives
|
||||
|
||||
41
|
||||
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,920
|
||||
for almost every popular vectoralist software
|
||||
|
||||
42
|
||||
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,200
|
||||
and there is a federation of decentralized
|
||||
public servers
|
||||
|
||||
43
|
||||
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,080
|
||||
for free open source social media that we can use right now.
|
||||
|
||||
44
|
||||
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,520
|
||||
We can use IRC, Jabber, Matrix etc. instead of Whatsapp,
|
||||
|
||||
45
|
||||
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,480
|
||||
Nextcloud instead of Drive,
|
||||
|
||||
46
|
||||
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,200
|
||||
Mastodon instead of
|
||||
Twitter and Meet Jitsi instead of Zoom.
|
||||
|
||||
47
|
||||
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,640
|
||||
These FOSS apps are not just as good,
|
||||
but they are better,
|
||||
|
||||
48
|
||||
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,600
|
||||
not just ethically and politically
|
||||
|
||||
49
|
||||
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,680
|
||||
but also because they dont try to mess with
|
||||
our psychology through algorithms
|
||||
|
||||
50
|
||||
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:36,200
|
||||
and thats why they need much less resources, which is better for the earth.
|
||||
|
||||
51
|
||||
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,480
|
||||
As intersectional feminists we should be aware that we are all cyborg hackers
|
||||
|
||||
52
|
||||
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:48,200
|
||||
and we have different response-abilities
|
||||
depending on our situatedness.
|
||||
|
||||
53
|
||||
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,360
|
||||
Intersectional feminism upgraded with
|
||||
hacker class consciousness can and should
|
||||
|
||||
54
|
||||
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,000
|
||||
be an entry point for people to learn
|
||||
|
||||
55
|
||||
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,400
|
||||
how vectoralism intersects with
|
||||
all forms of oppression
|
||||
|
||||
56
|
||||
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,200
|
||||
and which tools to use for
|
||||
hacking them in a revolutionary way.
|
||||
|
||||
57
|
||||
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,280
|
||||
To begin with, we should differentiate
|
||||
between organization and outreach.
|
||||
|
||||
58
|
||||
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,760
|
||||
For the purposes of organization
|
||||
and for personal/political communication,
|
||||
|
||||
59
|
||||
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,480
|
||||
we should use free and open source
|
||||
software, not just because it's more secure
|
||||
|
||||
60
|
||||
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,320
|
||||
but also for liberating ourselves from vectoralist exploitation
|
||||
|
||||
61
|
||||
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,360
|
||||
and empowering each other.
|
||||
|
||||
62
|
||||
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,600
|
||||
For outreach it might still make sense
|
||||
to use vectoralist platforms
|
||||
|
||||
63
|
||||
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,520
|
||||
until most of the population is not there anymore
|
||||
|
||||
64
|
||||
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,920
|
||||
but doing this successfully already requires a well organized hack,
|
||||
|
||||
65
|
||||
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,880
|
||||
otherwise we would be just blocked like Signal ads were blocked by Facebook.
|
||||
|
||||
66
|
||||
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,960
|
||||
On a personal level, we can start
|
||||
by migrating to foss operating systems
|
||||
|
||||
67
|
||||
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:53,320
|
||||
installing peer to peer and darknet apps,
|
||||
getting a nextcloud, a matrix, a mastodon
|
||||
|
||||
68
|
||||
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,840
|
||||
and even hosting our own servers,
|
||||
|
||||
69
|
||||
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:00,000
|
||||
but we won't get much use of these if we don't have a community there.
|
||||
|
||||
70
|
||||
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:06,280
|
||||
Also the learning curve is much lower
|
||||
when it's approached collectively.
|
||||
|
||||
71
|
||||
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,560
|
||||
In the end,
|
||||
|
||||
72
|
||||
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:13,040
|
||||
the greater part of the work is convincing our communities to come along with us.
|
||||
|
||||
73
|
||||
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:16,160
|
||||
There is no technical solution
|
||||
to a social problem.
|
||||
|
||||
74
|
||||
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:23,080
|
||||
For any of these FOSS to start genuine change, we need to reach a critical mass
|
||||
|
||||
75
|
||||
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,560
|
||||
with network effect.
|
||||
|
||||
76
|
||||
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,160
|
||||
To host and facilitate
|
||||
a digital mass migration,
|
||||
|
||||
77
|
||||
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,760
|
||||
existing infrastructures
|
||||
wouldn't be enough,
|
||||
|
||||
78
|
||||
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,000
|
||||
we would need to
|
||||
invest in decentralized infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
79
|
||||
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,800
|
||||
and disperse the cloud
|
||||
by reclaiming our data.
|
||||
|
||||
80
|
||||
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,520
|
||||
To spread this idea
|
||||
and turn it into reality,
|
||||
|
||||
81
|
||||
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,640
|
||||
we can organize
|
||||
feminist hacker literacy campaigns,
|
||||
|
||||
82
|
||||
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,160
|
||||
not just for coding
|
||||
but for everything we need
|
||||
|
||||
83
|
||||
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,840
|
||||
to liberate and maintain our cyborg lives,
|
||||
|
||||
84
|
||||
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:56,520
|
||||
like system administration, telecom engineering, hardware assembly and repair,
|
||||
|
||||
85
|
||||
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:02,520
|
||||
and most importantly, wetware, which is
|
||||
the organic part of our cyborg bodies.
|
||||
|
||||
86
|
||||
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,360
|
||||
The intersection of feminist and hacker politics goes back to witches
|
||||
|
||||
87
|
||||
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,200
|
||||
who were hunted
|
||||
for having the power of knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
88
|
||||
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,240
|
||||
detrimental to capitalist racist cisheteropatriarchy.
|
||||
|
||||
89
|
||||
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,280
|
||||
Half century ago, when abortion
|
||||
was illegal in the United States,
|
||||
|
||||
90
|
||||
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:24,000
|
||||
underground Jane Collective reappropriated the knowledge of performing abortions,
|
||||
|
||||
91
|
||||
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,800
|
||||
to train and maintain a feminist network of illegal practitioners.
|
||||
|
||||
92
|
||||
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,200
|
||||
In 2001,
|
||||
|
||||
93
|
||||
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:36,120
|
||||
Gender Changers Academy started doing feminist hack workshops in Amsterdam
|
||||
|
||||
94
|
||||
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,080
|
||||
which then toured cities in different countries
|
||||
|
||||
95
|
||||
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,840
|
||||
under the name Eclectic Tech Carnival.
|
||||
|
||||
96
|
||||
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,000
|
||||
In 2014, Feminist Principles of the Internet
|
||||
were drafted in Malaysia,
|
||||
|
||||
97
|
||||
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,200
|
||||
meanwhile in Catalonia, TransHackFeminist convergence featured workshops
|
||||
|
||||
98
|
||||
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,520
|
||||
ranging from do-it-yourself
|
||||
gynecology to creating feminist servers.
|
||||
|
||||
99
|
||||
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,600
|
||||
Feminist principles of the internet
|
||||
on feministinternet.org
|
||||
|
||||
100
|
||||
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,760
|
||||
is a good starting point for imagining
|
||||
a feminist internet
|
||||
|
||||
101
|
||||
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,240
|
||||
but as it says on the Anarchaserver:
|
||||
"A feminist internet also requires
|
||||
|
||||
102
|
||||
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,800
|
||||
self-managed and autonomous
|
||||
feminist servers."
|
||||
|
||||
103
|
||||
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,120
|
||||
"This is about regaining control
|
||||
and gaining autonomy
|
||||
|
||||
104
|
||||
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,680
|
||||
in the access and management
|
||||
of our data and collective memories.
|
||||
|
||||
105
|
||||
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,800
|
||||
It is also about being able
|
||||
to have feminist mailing lists,
|
||||
|
||||
106
|
||||
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,200
|
||||
pads, wikis, content management systems,
|
||||
social networks
|
||||
|
||||
107
|
||||
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,840
|
||||
and any other online services managed
|
||||
by feminist tech collectives.
|
||||
|
||||
108
|
||||
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,000
|
||||
It is also of course
|
||||
about continuing to argue that
|
||||
|
||||
109
|
||||
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,440
|
||||
social justice in technologically driven
|
||||
environments
|
||||
|
||||
110
|
||||
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:45,440
|
||||
needs a more gender and culturally
|
||||
diverse presence in general."
|
||||
|
||||
111
|
||||
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,680
|
||||
Today there are a few feminist hacklabs and feminist servers
|
||||
|
||||
112
|
||||
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:57,040
|
||||
that are doing a very important job by setting paradigms and leading by example.
|
||||
|
||||
113
|
||||
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,160
|
||||
What we need urgently is
|
||||
the popularization of these practices
|
||||
|
||||
114
|
||||
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,840
|
||||
by sharing material, technical
|
||||
and emotional resources.
|
||||
|
||||
115
|
||||
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,000
|
||||
To have our own infrastructure,
|
||||
we have to make a collective decision
|
||||
|
||||
116
|
||||
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,480
|
||||
to invest in it.
|
||||
|
||||
117
|
||||
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,560
|
||||
In the article "Feminist autonomous infrastructure: from zombies to ninjas"
|
||||
|
||||
118
|
||||
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,760
|
||||
it explains how volunteering risks invisibilizing labor
|
||||
|
||||
119
|
||||
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:26,440
|
||||
and donation campaigns are not enough
|
||||
to sustain feminist infrastructure projects.
|
||||
|
||||
120
|
||||
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,760
|
||||
The article titled "Feminists are building
|
||||
their own technology to organise
|
||||
|
||||
121
|
||||
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:37,760
|
||||
but where are funders?" explains how
|
||||
a feminist server project ceased to exist
|
||||
|
||||
122
|
||||
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,680
|
||||
because it lacked proper funding.
|
||||
|
||||
123
|
||||
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,720
|
||||
"The internet, like
|
||||
the streets, needs to be reclaimed.
|
||||
|
||||
124
|
||||
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,720
|
||||
We can build new spaces of engagement, organizing and transformation
|
||||
|
||||
125
|
||||
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:48,640
|
||||
but in order to achieve this,
|
||||
|
||||
126
|
||||
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:54,160
|
||||
we need funding that can ensure
|
||||
those building the feminist internet
|
||||
|
||||
127
|
||||
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,840
|
||||
that they can make decisions
|
||||
over where their knowledge goes."
|
||||
|
||||
128
|
||||
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,000
|
||||
A server can cost less
|
||||
than the cheapest smartphone
|
||||
|
||||
129
|
||||
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,400
|
||||
or cheaper
|
||||
if you use a second hand computer
|
||||
|
||||
130
|
||||
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,480
|
||||
but we also need the funding
|
||||
to spread the idea
|
||||
|
||||
131
|
||||
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,960
|
||||
and give people the time and space
|
||||
to learn, exercise and develop.
|
||||
|
||||
132
|
||||
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,080
|
||||
In cities like Barcelona where
|
||||
every neighborhood have feminist groups,
|
||||
|
||||
133
|
||||
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,320
|
||||
every neighborhood can have a feminist
|
||||
hacklab with servers that federate.
|
||||
|
||||
134
|
||||
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,480
|
||||
For neighborhoods that don't
|
||||
have a secure physical space,
|
||||
|
||||
135
|
||||
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:32,800
|
||||
bigger feminist organizations like Ca La Dona
|
||||
can share VPS and other services.
|
||||
|
||||
136
|
||||
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,160
|
||||
Every feminist group should have access
|
||||
to feminist servers,
|
||||
|
||||
137
|
||||
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,840
|
||||
if they're too small or ephemeral and can't afford to have their own,
|
||||
|
||||
138
|
||||
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,840
|
||||
they should be able to find help from other feminist collectives that share services.
|
||||
|
||||
139
|
||||
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,560
|
||||
Bigger feminist organizations in
|
||||
more privileged parts of the world should
|
||||
|
||||
140
|
||||
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:56,040
|
||||
also have programs to share services with
|
||||
the feminists from rest of the world.
|
||||
|
||||
141
|
||||
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,040
|
||||
Feminist infrastructure and servers
|
||||
should be seen as a necessity,
|
||||
|
||||
142
|
||||
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,240
|
||||
especially for separatist feminist groups.
|
||||
|
||||
143
|
||||
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,040
|
||||
We can't have truly no-mixto spaces
|
||||
on vectoralist platforms, because there
|
||||
|
||||
144
|
||||
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:15,920
|
||||
even our close groups and personal
|
||||
messages are exploited by white cis men.
|
||||
|
||||
145
|
||||
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,640
|
||||
On the other hand,
|
||||
imagine an internet without cis men at all,
|
||||
|
||||
146
|
||||
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,200
|
||||
and believe that
|
||||
we can create it together.
|
||||
|
||||
147
|
||||
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:28,080
|
||||
To realize that dream we don't need
|
||||
a new technology, we need a new culture.
|
||||
|
||||
148
|
||||
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,960
|
||||
Hacker class consciousness must be a part of our intersectional feminist consciousness.
|
||||
|
||||
149
|
||||
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:37,880
|
||||
We can update our
|
||||
consciousness raising practices
|
||||
|
||||
150
|
||||
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,400
|
||||
by including conversations about how vectoralism effects us personally
|
||||
|
||||
151
|
||||
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,920
|
||||
and sharing the knowledge of
|
||||
how to hack it for good
|
||||
|
||||
152
|
||||
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,040
|
||||
with care
|
||||
and not condescension.
|
||||
|
||||
153
|
||||
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:56,880
|
||||
We can throw crypto install parties
|
||||
combined with tupperware/sex parties
|
||||
|
||||
154
|
||||
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,760
|
||||
where we demonstrate
|
||||
signal blocking pouches, tails sticks,
|
||||
|
||||
155
|
||||
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,520
|
||||
single board computers,
|
||||
linux phones, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
156
|
||||
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,800
|
||||
When we do these parties
|
||||
at each others homes,
|
||||
|
||||
157
|
||||
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,360
|
||||
we can help set up home servers and labs.
|
||||
|
||||
158
|
||||
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,920
|
||||
We can make signal blocking
|
||||
purses for smart devices fashionable.
|
||||
|
||||
159
|
||||
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,960
|
||||
Take that textile back
|
||||
from military machis.
|
||||
|
||||
160
|
||||
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,840
|
||||
If we do it on our own
|
||||
we could be singled out,
|
||||
|
||||
161
|
||||
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,200
|
||||
so we should do it as a movement
|
||||
|
||||
162
|
||||
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:30,800
|
||||
and exercise it as our right
|
||||
to not be accessible 24/7.
|
||||
|
||||
163
|
||||
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:36,760
|
||||
Our culture should value a repairable
|
||||
cheap phone with killswitches
|
||||
|
||||
164
|
||||
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,440
|
||||
more than
|
||||
the latest most expensive phone
|
||||
|
||||
165
|
||||
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,160
|
||||
that doesn't allow a battery removal
|
||||
without breaking the warranty.
|
||||
|
||||
166
|
||||
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,320
|
||||
Meanwhile, we can't forget
|
||||
where the lithium, koltan
|
||||
|
||||
167
|
||||
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,560
|
||||
and everthing else
|
||||
that goes into a computer comes from,
|
||||
|
||||
168
|
||||
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:54,920
|
||||
the people who mine it, carry it, process
|
||||
it, assemble it.
|
||||
|
||||
169
|
||||
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,120
|
||||
We must interfere with technology at
|
||||
every layer
|
||||
|
||||
170
|
||||
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,040
|
||||
from internet service provisions
|
||||
to supply-production chains
|
||||
|
||||
171
|
||||
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,880
|
||||
to stop reproducing injustice
|
||||
and destroying our planet.
|
||||
|
||||
172
|
||||
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,040
|
||||
To be able to take good care
|
||||
of each other and the earth,
|
||||
|
||||
173
|
||||
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,680
|
||||
we must cultivate our response-abilities
|
||||
and radically change our culture.
|
||||
|
||||
174
|
||||
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:18,240
|
||||
The future will be feminist
|
||||
or there won’t be future!
