a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society
What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:
1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

I think it's not talked about enough how there's a system around this to make it possible. Companies are not just "paying absent people for two years" over there.
There is a culture and a civilization around this stuff that makes sure FEW people are stuck in illness (or incarcerated forever etc)

I think Visa and Mastercard may be getting a lot of calls about their adult content policies, but I just called in to PayPal and not only was there no wait, the customer service rep I got had never had one of these calls before (they were very nice about it.)

This is no accident. The groups behind age-verification laws have been explicit that they regard "gender ideology" and nearly any representation of LGBTQ+ existence as pornography
AV is government censorship. Platforms are either designating LGBTQ+ content NSFW or removing it all together.

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.
Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.
If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

Yes, and weird religious fascists regularly mischaracterize queer people and queer art as inherently pornographic, they shouldn't be given an inch because there's no line for them, no cut-off point, they'll never be satisfied. Do you think they'll stop at porn?

It's simple, it's about power dynamics. Cancel culture was when powerful perverts and rapists like Harvey Weinstein had their victims speak up and saw consequences, something rich and powerful assholes couldn't abide, whereas people being purged from their jobs is power doing what it's entitled to.
It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.
