How Geeks Ate the World - Plato Was a Dick
plato-was-a-dick.ghost.io
I'm writing a book about the rise of reactionary movements in Western geek culture, particularly since the beginning of the internet until now, and how we got stuck in this shitty alt-white meme-fash tech-dystopia within a mere 25 years: Article thread! 1/🧵

I went to Elon Musk's AI-generated Wikipedia competitor and found a barely coherent pile of erratically structured, badly formatted, predictably racist slop.

Last week I talked about Elon Musk’s AI-generated Wikipedia knockoff, which I didn’t actually expect we’d see for some months, if at all, given the too-great likelihood that he’d be too mercurial to f...

Everyone's hung up on the not knowing what magnets are thing, but not a word of this entire rant makes any sense at all. This is literally Time Cube levels of nonsense.

The Trump regime is one of history's biggest gaslighting projects. If he says something confidently and consistently then people will start to believe it even if it is obviously wrong. On a large enough scale, what is literally true ceases to be relevant. There is only the Trump simulation.
he keeps saying this, it makes no sense as an intentional lie, and I have no idea why he thinks it's true
Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

Dick Cheney never lived to see New York fall to communism and that makes me a little disappointed actually

For some reason I thought Dick Cheney died years ago, of Covid I think, but I think I was mixing him up with one of the other Bush era ghouls.
Anyway, rot in Tartarus, I guess. The neoconservative overreach of war and surveillance is directly responsible for the backlash that got us neofascism.

What can you do if you see this? I can't think of anything I could do to stop it. I'm sure Shannon wanted to but also didn't know what she could do except get video and speak up. I see so many videos where people record but can't stop it, but I don't know what more you can do without getting shot
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Trump opened an entire new department called DOGE and hired like 30 people including the richest person in the world into it, and also it cost more money than it saved.
Trump: "100% of all new jobs created in America under my new administration have been created by the private sector. Think of that. The government created no new jobs. The private sector created the record number of jobs that we're talking about. That's a country ... these are real numbers."
