Yes, Mark, with the way you ran the platform, the things you built it to do and the way you implemented it, exploitation of all kinds WAS inevitable.

If you were a literate person you'd already know why. On the other hand, you're a hero for proving that ignorance really IS an excuse i guess?

Sweet, hackable cars that won't go when it's the most important possible time that they go, such as IN AN EMERGENCY

it's fine, all capitalists are idiots and their products will not survive what's coming

you can't, and even if you could there's an infinite number of additional clowns waiting in the wings.

You can't rescue this society, all anyone has ever been able to do is help build back up in the right direction after the idiots make it all fall apart.

Total collapse is the goal anyway, of both them and us, regardless of whether we recognize it. You want to believe you can save one part while the rest dies, i mean, go ahead but that's not how anything works

it's called capitalism and it's why we cannot trust our own legal system, because it understands absolutely nothing and is run entirely by reactionaries who put the force of law behind shit as stupid as requiring an internet connection to start a car.

They just put their heads down and do their impossible jobs, just like the rest of us, and in so doing, they break everything, and no, endless compromise with obvious evil is not a good thing, nor a "progress" thing, nor an inevitable thing. It's just an incompetence thing, and deep inside *you know that to be true*.

FOR KIDS

inb4 they fire up StoreChan, which only sells electric euthanasia dildos

Man, remember when the internet was all cool sites ppl made that didn't make money and not just the same five or six shitheads billowing their spume

I forgot to also call it (the yoink) HILARIOUS. Get shit on, scumbag idiots

the internet has been an unusable piece of shit since google decided to only show shit that makes money, the stupid faggots. The fact that they went evil, railroaded the internet onto the advertising model, and then *yoinked* all the traffic away with their AI whose traffic they don't have to pay for and who doesn't click ads -

i mean it's brilliant, it's old-school company store-style evil.

the fact that our legal system is too cumbersome to recognize these problems or know what to do about them is also a pretty good joke. stupid fucking monkeys.

I know there's a bunch of you on here who hear "company store" and go "what the fuck is a company store" and then don't look it up - know that you're the reason it's all gone to hell. They are exploiting YOUR RELIABLE STUPIDITY.

i know, let's make it illegal to prosecute crime!

Of course, that in itself is a criminal act

it doesn't make the books but it does inevitably get punished all the same

The rarest of all things - good news! They couldn't possibly reassemble the same cast after twenty years and then just pick up where the old one left off; Disney barely managed to do it with Daredevil after like five.

I'm starting to think it's not the cruelty that's the point - i think the point really is to do things the wrong way because doing them the right way is too hard and we don't understand why we should bother, because we're mostly a species of pieces of shit, being asked to do unnatural things under threat of punishment and we resent every moment of it. "sure, why not, fuck everything" is a pretty common emotional state these days

the banality of evil is real

no shit, really?

Just like the bankers, just like the oil execs, just like the Martin Shkrelis of the world? Just openly gloating about stealing?

You remember when that corporatized gangsta rap started coming out in the mid to late 90s and they would openly say they lied in court and killed people and raped and trafficked and all that shit, but hid it with "for entertainment purposes"

how'd that all turn out then, where they at

It's all the same from top to bottom. but it starts at the top

lets them delete them too! AND rearrange their contents, it's great

oh you were using that? emphasis on "were" i guess

actually the whole "take the jobs where we can treat ppl like shit" was a bad idea too

and the whole "lie to the public all the time fOr ThEiR pRoTeCtIoN"

actually the legal system that's purely reactive and the lack of a proscriptive function in society more reliable than a cult are pretty big problems too

the whole veneration of selfishness thing, the mapping and extension of scarcity models onto digital space where by definition they have no relevance and are a lie;
the replacement of basic concepts like ownership with subscription models, rather like the "company stores" of old... none of these are part of a world worth living in, they are all recipes for predictable disaster. They are all gestures of contempt for what it is to be human. THEY ARE INSULTS TO YOUR INTELLIGENCE.

really it's been a while since a good idea was the dominant force in society. We've been driving the wrong way down the road for a pretty long time now. And the bar for how bad things need to get before action is taken gets lower every day.

All in the service of the creation of financial superheroes, as though that'll help. hail hydra or whatever i guess
