to be fair, the kids were on bikes? cars are weapons, and I can see not wanting those in your community. this is the fuckcars activism we need in the world.
absolutely. this shit is unforgivable. the only cure is the guillotine. not just killing them, but doing it publically, showing anyone who would ever do this shit again that we ALL want them dead, and nobody will save them, nobody will come to their defense, because they do good for nobody.
hey imagine if ALL this stuff were like this, and all the stuff our systems of organization did were stuff like this.
that would be pretty cool, right? like, no offensive wars, no weird syphilis shit, no trying to find the lethal dose of LSD my spiking random dudes' drinks.
just, like, being cool and making things better and building shit. wouldn't that be great?
yep! the thing is, it isn't about hostility to religion in general, which, like, I could get, those 'islamic state' fuckers (and their christian counterparts currently red teaming the united states political system, who are worse and want to end the world and have been infiltrating the military that has nuclear weapons for decades) ARE (at least broadly) blood drenched vicious monsters who should all be killed. no need to be a dick about it, shouldn't treat the moderates the same way as the fanatics, but, like, everything bad about islam, except possibly the 'no drinking' thing, the worst christians ALSO DO.
like, every single bad thing they SAY about muslims also applies to these other people who maybe even live nextdoor. literally all of it (I've never heard about 'those damn teatotaling muslins, be'in all diaphanous and sober and pulling out a compass before they pray'), so clearly that's not what their actual fucking problem with it is. its not even that its barbaric behavior; it's that its fucking dishonest barbaric behavior.
okay but I watched "the matrix" before high school, and that film is literally just an essay on situationism (an anarchist philosophy of the hyperobject of capitalism) with some kung fu and crypto-trans-positivity mixed in.
I mean, we do, and there are different philosophies of computing that have different effects on users, and the philosophy that users should be infantilized and USED instead of grown and nurtured as peddled by shit heads like steve jobs is exemplified by all the enshittification currently dominating every single thing you've bought in the last decade that had so much as an RFID chip in it.
but also, it would be great if windows would deliver an end user grade windows distro. i miss those.
the point is, these corporate products are not usable, they are not stable, and they are not a good long term decision. any business that uses these is unbelievably stupid and deserves to get crowdstruck. the fact that the instability is political and your shit can just be bricked remotely on zero notice rather than due to being difficult to configure is not a point in their favor.
it's (mostly) not about government subsidies anymore; it's about supply and demand being entirely uncoupled. I would put the blame far more firmly at the hands of edward bernaise and lee atwater.
remember; we do this with clothes and toys and literally every product.
all of us 'you cant keep relying on corporations, they will betray you, every single corporate product you consume is basically the one ring' open source nerds get to say the MOST satisfying "I told you so"'s. nobody cares, of course, you'll all keep using this shit, but it feels SO good.
could still be a website.
