Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

  • Ah yes. The great tyranny of checks notes digital payment processing

    You know, we already have this in Brazil. The countryside has not, in fact, been burninated. In fact, last I checked we’d been schooling the first worlders on how to actually handle fascists.

    Oh and we never had to bend the knee to MasterCard’s forced purity rules because our digital payment system isn’t privatised unlike yall’s.

    You need to lay off the shrooms, mate. They’re fucking with your mind.








  • It’s Avon for Cis Dudes that make fun of Avon ladies

    It’s the Lottery for STEM Majors that make fun of grandpas that play the lottery.

    I’d say ‘it’s religion for reddit atheists’, but it’s not. AI is religion for reddit atheists. “The rapture AGI is right around the corner and when it comes around God will save the righteous and punish the sinners we will live in post-scarcity utopia. Just please ignore all the priests committing horrid crimes on children actual AI copmanies being owned by technocrats with fascist leanings who seem very horny for the idea of never having to pay a worker again. Until then we just need to pray and proselytize very hard keep investing on DA FUTER”




  • You’re not wrong

    But keeping a government democratic and under check is a lot easier than trying to do the same to a series of corporations with anonymous investors calling the shots. Every corporation is in and of itself a dictatorship, dangerously close to an old noble clan, and we pretend we don’t see it because it’s been hypernormalised.

    I’d much rather take my chances with a government, that can in fact respond to the will of the people from time to time, than with a corporation that only ever responds to money with exactly no exceptions ever.
