There are many ways in which every billionaire is a policy failure, but the most corrosive and destructive way in which billionaires are policy failures is this: billionaires, despite being unelected and unaccountable, possess the power to control - and ruin - millions of peoples' lives.

The Warner Brother tower posed against a vintage map of Burbank, keeling over, tearing up a huge clot of sod and concrete. Standing atop of the tower, forcing it down, is a sad, spavined donkey in Democratic Party livery. Being crushed under the tower is the California flag bear, with blood pouring out of its eye and mouth.

Having been at privateer press between 2014 - 2016 roughly, this whole thing is wild to me. Sucks folks got laid off. Hope Warmachine becomes a fan project and those IPs are just used by anyone as they see fit. Perfect end to that. Kickstarter culture is just gross and I say that having run many

Steamforged Games is facing mounting criticism from crowdfunding backers over unresolved refunds and dwindling updates across its undelivered projects, after it cut about a third of its workforce and refocused towards its Warmachine miniatures earlier this year: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

Two very white board game boxes, with several plastic miniatures in front representing large monster-like creatures and several heroes. Crowdfunding image for Monster Hunter Iceborne: The Board Game from Steamforged Games.

A board game box which has several world war two military leaders on, above the words Hearts of Iron The Board Game. The box is on a red table near a board which has a map of Europe on, and several other cardboard reference sheets, other board and playing cards. Small plastic miniatures representing ships, troops and tanks are also visible coloured red and blue. Hearts of Iron The Board Game crowdfunding image.

Dam and that just means further energy needs. That, to me, just reads those needs being met likely by coal or gas. Which is exactly what an oil oligarch tied to techno-oligarchs wants. So that tracks.

I have struggled with how to respond to this, but I settled on "You do you, boo?" I think that plays exactly into the same kind of authoritarian, or at least adjacent, views that thing other people are worthless. They make a lot of shit decisions in my eyes and a number of people are apathetic

But that's a choice that is being taken away from those children under the guise of guardianship. We love to dictate how those we deem lesser should operate and this is much the same trend. -If this kind of stuff interests you, I'll post more, but I really hate social media so don't expect much.

As Bradshaw and Meulen discuss on the topic, there's a normalization effect, such as wanting to "cure" people of deafness when they are born, even children born to deaf parents who have a whole community (I am not the best with proprer terms, so if I am being offensive please correct me)

These technologies deposit what unwanted or detrimental features at those lower rungs, normalizing the technology as it goes. That's where I run down a different path with disabilities and freedom, particularly the freedom to dissent from a world that's increasingly run by transhumanist chuds.

There's this thing Doctorow calls the "Shitty technology adoption curve" where something is implemented at the lowest social rung it can, like say blood banks and plasma centers in poor neighborhoods, and has the rough parts sanded off as it moves through the social stratifications of society.

I'm really surprised that at my age and circles I hadn't heard of Cory Doctorow until now.

Also, I hit reply, but there's a collective action problem in general. So no, I don't think we as people have learned anything. Maybe persons have, but collectively, we keep doing the same kinds of stupid shit despite fairly intelligent folks telling us to stop burning our hands. So I don't know.

This is a lot of response from me, so I apologize for that. I've been thinking about this stuff a LOT more lately, so to see a question almost a year later when I was barely and I didn't really give the msot cohesive answers as some of it is personal and I also just hate most state apparatus.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.
