Will be interesting to see if they figure out a constructive way to counter "nobody has anything left to lose", or just follow history and deploy the camps and stormtroopers.

Software companies, faced with a real engineering task, are just not capable of doing that kind of work. Software now is mostly handwaving with the rest delivered from theft or reworking public domain material. Coming up with a real product that meets inflexible safety standards is just beyond them.

In no way do I mean to argue this, but as a straight white male safe inside the empire (as long as I keep my mouth shut), that seems.... I studied Vietnam and the 80's central American dirty wars, then every imperial horror since. I can't do anything BUT read and watch. I donate $, but....

There's an insane quality to their stupidity, too. Elaborate persecution delusions, full of conspiracies and invisible powers. Stupid for sure, but the crazy takes it to another level. It's the crazy that moves them to act.

In other words, systemic theft and destruction of all social contracts has, at last, produced "profit". A few centuries ago, Uber types would've been hung outside Parliament.

You can also forward the text to 7726 (SPAM). I doubt this does anything, but I'm doing my part against the machine.

Incredible to think we've gone from Reagan, with record indictments and even a few convictions for his henchmen, to now. Things are so much worse, but we're to the point now where they can *only* get worse. There is no functioning corrective force or institution that isn't compromised.

The entire government is now full of Ayn Rand libertarians and adjacent foaming-at-the-mouth ideologues determined to prove that government doesn't and can't work. Same thing in Canada, with Harper doofuses sabotaging everything that helps anybody.

I've been working in tech since 1997. I am continually astonished at what people send in email, IM, and now things like Slack and Teams. In your onboarding papers, you're warned, in bold, multiple times, that nothing on a company owned system is private. Do you need a bigger 'hint-hint'?

People refuse to believe the President is just another product that's being marketed to them. Trump is a flashier product.

The daze, and sometimes lightness, that comes hours or days later when you realize you have passed through an ending to the long open plain on the other side.... It's like standing on a mountaintop, most of the atmosphere below you, the sky so clear.

Interesting that the original estimates I recall from 2020 were 25% chance of LC. Then this was dismissed, re-admitted as 10% or less, then 10%, then 20%, and now back to 25%. Like that joke about the Taliban.

I went to high school in Texas. My pet theory is Texas-standard toxic masculinity, especially the predilection to violence, is exacerbated by all the football brain injury. Not the only factor, by far, but a common one.

"Computing" is complete. There's been nothing really new in the last 25 years, and the flood of junk apps and SaaS prove this. Products like these are just capitalism trying to make a need and fill it, because they can't grow any more.

It's really something that the 1970s and 80s push by hobbyists and hippies to democratize computing have ironically led to fascist failsons sucking all computing into their clutches.

This is an important point. These people are bully-victims, or low-rent masochists/sadists (works either way). They have no higher thought process or goals. It's all base drives against "them". Seems our best strategy is getting them to destroy themselves. Not impossible.
