Pushing GTAVI to 2028 so you can lean into anti-woke and make Vice City a cool place full of crypto kings and very stable, normal people and team up with the President who lives north of Vice City.

START THE DAMN REVOLUTION BEFORE I PISS ME-SELF.

My comment wasn’t aimed at it being removed. I reported the comment. It’s the use of 19th century racism as an own.

Jesus christ Hexbear.

If he can pull off 2% interest rates you better have some goddamn anti-doomer pills because you haven’t seen depravity yet.

1930s shenanigans. Everyone jumps to the Nazis but we must not forget the Technocrats, especially since Elon’s grandparents were silvershirts. I’m sure Thiel and the others are on board with technocracy.

The Technocracy movement had its brief heyday in the 1930s, its leading proponent engineer Howard Scott (1890-1970) and his Technocracy Incorporated, founded in 1933. The movement was ideologically somewhat diverse and fractious, but Scott’s version was fueled by the Great Depression and the crisis of capitalism, quack economics, post-First-World-War isolationism, and an infatuation with Fascist form and ritual. At the core of its ideology was a rejection of the “price system” underlying the global economy, in which money as a medium of exchange determines the value of goods and services and financial considerations are fundamental to all economic decision making. Citing the Depression as Exhibit A, movement adherents viewed this system as inherently unsustainable and predicted a total system collapse no later than 1940.

Technocracy Inc.’s prescriptive program had economic, political and geopolitical elements. At the core was a shift from the price system to what Scott called “an energy theory of value”, in which goods and services were to be valued based not on money but in terms of the energy inputs required to produce them. This in turn would necessitate the abandonment of democracy and the embrace of a technocracy—government by an unelected, technically skilled, empirically-driven elite with the expertise necessary to determine values and make rational resource-allocation decisions. The outward manifestations of this authoritarian outlook had a distinctly Fascist flavor: Technocracy Inc. members wore a uniform of double-breasted suit, gray shirt, and blue tie, with the red Technocracy logo worn on the lapel; drove gray-painted cars; and saluted one another in public.

Think about using energy input as a pricing mechanism. Then think about cryptocurrency.

Stop denying the agency of JFK’s head.

Bread and circuses used to distract from stuff like this but now it is the circus. They have done such a great job of building up a genre around military action and imperialism since the 90s. Every lib who spent the Obama years writing woke CIA fanfic about invading Libya has led to this. President TV, of course, is going to ramp it up and remove all subtlety. Why produce fictional Jack Ryans when you can just go invade and film it for Paramount+?

This goes back to even Michael Brown. People were freaking out over the desecration of memorials for Renee but cops did the same shit to Michael Brown. They had dogs piss on flours/candles/pictures around town. They would dismantle and destroy stuff. It’s one of the first things they do when something like this happens. Trayvon was pretty quick too.

The wealthy need to do atrocities in order to maintain power and wealth. However they need some kind of popular support because a state apparatus is needed to hoard and protect that level of wealth. The people who have been propagandized to hate the state in a libertarian sense, are now needed to support it. Watching a white lady get gunned down by feds would cause a dissonance. The wealthy need people who can break down the libertarian ideals so that the dissonance is dismissed. Basically they need fixers who can make the hypocrisy work.

This is where people like Walsh and Kirk come in. The dissonance can be dismissed if the victim deserved it some way, or is part of the enemy. State violence against an upstanding member of their cohort is bad, state violence against the enemy is normal. That’s what the state is supposed to do. Therefore they demonize victims to this end. The victims must have deserved it in some way. They were bad people and the state under their control only punishes bad people.

This creates the downward spiral in decorum we have noticed over the past two decades. The more they rely on this method, the more it diminishes “discourse” on the right. At some point it becomes completely incoherent and dysfunctional. Couple that with industrial technology and organization, you get mass atrocity. Couple it with social media and spectacle? Idk what the fuck is going to happen. It’s not going to be great.

Putting ground beef so close to the “foods you should eat the most” and peanuts close to “foods you should eat little of” is such malpractice.

Some sort of simulacrum. The whole idea of the pyramid was that the width indicates the proportion of your diet. You can also read it as height being the importance to your diet because on a triangle, the width and height correlate. But now it’s only a pyramid shape because they need more space to fit the pictures of food. It’s hard to even read as purely one dimensional because they mix supposed food groups between layers. Therefore it’s only a pyramid because we associate food regulation with the food pyramid. The food pyramid does not exist anymore. Its structure as a way to display information also doesn’t exist.

The focus on personality, celebrity, and media are seemingly more important to everyone more than strict, achievable goals. It’s a great time to be an opportunist. Everyone is chasing unreality. The attention economy has become incredibly real and is dominating politics. No movement exists to counter it, only those that want to dominate or capitalize on it.

Perfect example of why trying to pin the lack or failure of organizing on idiosyncrasy is specious. Organization is hard because it’s constantly being thwarted by people in positions of power. It’s not because there aren’t enough sociable people. The issue isn’t whether organizing is a social endeavor or if we have enough sociable people, it’s how do we become successful in spite of obstruction. That’s a much harder question for an entertainer/podcaster/youtuber to answer as a neat soundbite.

Hi, I’m weighing my options on replying to your post. Here are my choices:

A) Agree but secretly continue enjoying Hasan
B) Agree and renounce Hasan
C) Agree but remember that streamers are really cool people who don’t deserve this unfair criticism, and I will never say what I think is fair criticism, just that any is inconvenient right now because the streamer is at war with pepehitler67 and needs our support. I will spend the next two hours trying to rationalize the reasons why this problematic thing is okay in this instance instead of just not saying anything or continuing to enjoy the things privately. I need you to also agree with me liking it or I don’t like it as much.

Can anyone help me decide?
