Some of this might just be generational differences; I remember people in school told me a lot about how penmanship mattered, and I think for their generations (x/boomer) it did. Let’s not criticize people for cultural differences just because we don’t understand them.

Huh. I wonder why he was never punished for this shit under the biden admin

Their ideology is just poop spray.

The onion, newspaper of prophecy.

Same way your mom does.

Nah. Secret methods and parallel construction are the norm. What’s up here?

So why are they tipping their hand now?

You’ve seen more people die since. Do you still even count? You probably knew some of them. It hits different, doesn’t it? When its you losing one, rather than killing them? When you know you’ve saved some?

You assume capitalism is about money. Money is the means. It’s becoming obsolete.

Its about control. Its about power. The lines of corporations, where they begin and end, are fake even on their own terms-the ownership structures are all a hapsburgian mesh of hedge funds and recursive investments.

Buy you can look at the actual power, who can make what happen, who has agency to do what. What they use it for. Fucking analyze this shit. How their rhetoric and aesthetics and means change.

Money worked because its faith in self interest and the democrayicish government. They can refine that. They have a version they like more now. They go to the faith directly, cut out the self, the interest. Yay, technology.

Mostly unrelated: The NSA had snitch chips mandated by at least the 90s, getting them out was a big push, I’m not sure if there was a gap where clean hardware was produced. They’re always trying.

So what does this actually mean? What are advertisements? Like functionally what the singing frog are they doing? Why do the wealthy and their corporations want to do it so desperately?
