  • I just feel bad for the people who live in red states who are good people and have just been stuck through poverty with no way out.

    I lived in Louisiana for five years. It was a hotbed of Linux users and developers surprisingly.

    I knew a lot of good people living by a shoestring. A lot of people who never had the funds to make it out. I only made it out because I wasn’t from there originally. If I had gotten stuck, things could be pretty bad.

    I have an old friend from there with a daughter who will never function on her own and needs a feeding tube. It’s already been so hard for their family. This will probably kill his completely innocent daughter and leave him and his wife devastated.


  • Things are gonna get real fucking bad real fucking fast for working class people in this country.

    Economy is gonna get crashed by their decisions. Prices for food, water, electricity, and first aid are gonna go through the roof.

    People will suddenly lack access to medical care and with loss of federal funding hundreds of small rural hospitals may shut down.

    Disease will explode and they will push hard to ban wearing masks (some states have already done this.)

    As someone who is immune compromised every aspect of this shit makes me fucking furious.

    Sure, it might kill me, but more importantly, it’s going to kill hundreds of thousands.

    Start looking into Great Depression recipes now. Get involved in Mutual Aid Groups now. Start getting organized on secure messaging services right the fuck now.

    Be prepared to need to tighten your belt for a month during a General Strike.














  • Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land’s fucked up ideas precded dogecoin, so it’s really hard for me to be like “oh those things weren’t originally connected.”

    Yes, yes they were originally connected. Bitcoin itself wasn’t originally part of their ethos, but the crypto scene quickly became part of it, certainly before dogecoin itself was released. They wanted to use it to “crowdfund” their own country.

    The same year dogecoin was released, Yarvin was releasing Urbit.

    It was never just “funny” crypto. There has been a darkness brewing behind it all the entire fucking time.
