it is really funny to think of Jack Dorsey as a guy in your neighborhood who just wants to open a weird crypto-anarchist techno club like you’d see in The Matrix but keeps accidentally creating fun lil coffee shops
'And over here is where we will freely disseminate critical thinking from a wide range of sources! Of course, we want it to be attractive so maybe a walnut display with different tiers. And a handmade runner on the top with independent crafts on disp... DAMNIT! IT'S A BOOKSHELF AGAIN!'
It's especially funny when you notice that things getting out of his personal control and going the exact same way again because other people at the 'club' think it is better is maybe an indicator that the anarchist part is kinda functioning as it should.
The more I read this the more it hits like a sketchy noble from days of yore fleeing across the country from the pitchfork and torches mob they created to find safety with the Machiavellian alliances hes forged over the years who haven't gone full Machiavelli yet on him.
this almost never ends well
He wants soooo badly to be a bad ass crypto-anarchist, but he's the dumb asshole that the real anarchists never invite to anything because he's just a dumb white guy with a bad beard who really thinks capitalism is neat.
