in tech:

there are lots of lefty folks who start companies! lots of folks who have good ideas and are generally agreeable! lots of folks who, at face value, are trustworthy

but google started with "don't be evil" and now they're Google

the capitalist machine eats the best of our intentions and platitudes from trustworthy sources become weak points for exploitation. the good people aren't enough to stop corrosion – and insisting on safeguards isn't distrust

what if we...
started unions...
at our tech jobs...
aha, just kidding

unless...?

tfw when you realize you just never stopped being an emo kid

my kids were right shipposting *is* fun

I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["Butter"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the tub of spread involved in this case is not that.

idk it's a line of thought i haven't been able to digest and i guess i won't get to because i can't find the source material to figure out if went any deeper

and this wasn't to say that all conservatism is made equal, but there currently exists (by this take's definition) no form of government that ensures equal protection to all people

this kind of ignores unrecognized/non-state governments though

i can't fuckin find it but i read this take awhile back saying all current political enterprises are flavors of conservatism in the sense that they're predicated on the existence of an "other" and ultimately enforce the premise that the law protects some group, but it loosely binds them, while simultaneously it doesn't protect the other and strongly binds them

and that anti-conservatism, were it to be invented, would require that the law can only protect anyone if it binds everyone equally

i feel like this tells you everything you need to know?
