There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say that there isn't. Why don't you come on back to the war? That's right, get in it

It would be cool if all this bullshit cause a neat analog tech counter culture. CRTpunk
Analog, local, (inter)personal, and meaning-driven. "Off-grid" in terms of control but not forgoing the benefits of connection.
Hold on. According to God Himself, George Santos and now MTG have joined Cameo?!! Word Up.

What I find so deeply frustrating about these columns about our supposed inability to build things is the complaints about "bureaucracy" frequently turn out to be "Waah, they won't let us poison this river with selenium!" or "Waah, I don't want to have to share revenue with the local First Nation!"

The older I get the more I realize John Carpenter was right about so much in They Live.
Like yes of course elites and working class are like aliens to each other, They Live extrapolates this into a literal alien invasion, but the pilfering of the world for wealth is real.
