That was a great read. Thanks for posting something that isn’t the same Doctorow article I’ve seen a hundred times. I love that description of the purpose of conservatism:

To clone their particular set of neuroses and fears and revulsions and nostalgias and convictions and traumas so that they never have to experience anything but themselves, copied and pasted unto the end of time.

Absolutely beautiful writing in that post. As someone who’s been on forums since the mid-90s it hit home pretty hard.

I highly recommend everyone read this article. It summed up the way I think we all feel very eloquently. Thank you for linking it

Very nice read. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thank you sharing. It was a rally nice read.

Best thing I’ve read in awhile, thanks for sharing that with us.

Incredible article. Thank you for sharing!

Happy to see that one getting traffic here, she’s great. And infuriating.

Stop benefitting from the internet, it’s not for you to enjoy, it’s for us to use to extract money from you. Stop finding beauty and connection in the world, loneliness is more profitable and easier to control.

Stop being human. A mindless bot who makes regular purchases is all that’s really needed.

Stop talking to each other and start buying things. Stop talking to each other and start hurting each other.

Holy shit, that article was profound. Thank you for sharing.
