he’s back at it, yet another serious death threat has hit car hammer explosion man

I’m starting to think we have a problem where we’ve gotten rid of *official* feudalism in our society without getting rid of *people with shit tonnes of cash whose whims shape our everyday lives in ways good and ill* and that the cognitive dissonance between living in what we SAY are democracies that really are no such thing is wrecking tech bois brains
it’s a notion
But are they afraid we don’t have democracies after all … or that we do?
tech bros legit don’t live in democracies! They live for a cyberspace reality where whims of the rich and powerful really do decide if Twitter becomes X and Tumblr can be burned by one guy deciding to cut his losses! nothing about social media is even vaguely democratic!
I was honestly rooting for Matt to cling to ‘open source good’ to keep his sanity but it seems even that isn’t enough.
The deranged anti porn Christians are gonna get their way on some of their wishes in the long run, just because they’re the *only* people who have suggested any kind of way of regulating tech bros in a way that could plausibly stick. And that sucks. But arguably, most people prefer theocracy to dictatorship
