Well said

You spelt cunt incorrectly.

Maybe we can knock him off of some walls.

Clearly he’s worth billions in this economy, with that 45 carat chicken egg his neck is carrying and all.

What do you look like?

I totally get it. I just feel for the normal everyday person who has an unusual head shape that they are self conscious about being hurt by this instead of the asshole billionaire who deserves it. It's like making fun of him for being short.. Innocent people catch the strays. I stand against body shaming. But I feel you.

While I get what you’re saying

You do? I don't, because why should anyone give a fuck?

I have no idea why you're down voted, your point is absolutely valid. Perhaps people are angry and want to hurt those in power, consequences be damned.

If I ask you to body shame, is it not cruel to do so?

While I respect the intent, I do think that you probably need to consider the reasoning as well. Putting black and white morality over actions isn't necessarily correct either.

Poking fun at someone who is objectively evil over their appearance is "something" that an average person can do that might actually affect the person in question. It might not do anything, but it's sure as hell more appropriate and effective than trying to point out the issue with their moral stance. You can't always make a difference through peaceful or indirect means.

I think it's important to point out that body shaming someone who isn't a bad person is wrong, but it is also important to point out that for most people our words are our only recourse. You can insult a terrible person for one thing, while ignoring or praising the same trait in someone who is good.

And photographers ALWAYS retouch photos. Factoring in the minimum-possible insecurity and accounting for all other variables, my calculations put the absolute most-conservative estimate around here:

Goes to show how much of a dickhead he is

This is the reality. Not these pseudo-psych takes. Learning to program made me more socialist, as I realised the entire internet, and success of modern computing and information systems, was mostly the result of FOSS (socialist) software. Walled gardens and proprietary software are now the bane of my existence.

If you look deeper into every tech billionaire/oligarch, most of them were already born into the richest 1%; all born on 3rd base and believing they hit a home run.

I am now nearly certain that extreme wealth and power create the mental illness of narcissism (or at least surfaces/activates these tendencies, suppresses empathy, etc). Add in the fact that capitalism actively rewards narcissistic and criminal actions, and you end up with nothing but criminally corrupt narcissists.

I think you're overlooking all of the free and open source software and people like me who work in the industry and are radical leftists.

The more likely connection here is that these are all rich CEOs....

You may be on to something. It kills me these asshats made all their money by taking from Government funded programs like Basic and from community free and open source projects.

Also many techbros think they are incredibly intelligent and good at all the smart things when many are like the surgeon who is good at their specialty but are fucking morons in all other regards.

set the rules for the programs to enforce for the user.

Stallman was uhhh, correct, or something.

This can be - and has been - generalized to all industrualization.

Tolkien wrote Isengard the way he did for a reason.

The history of Brutalist architecture is closely associated with fascism as it promotes societal ideals of a neatly segmented and ordered life.

Henry Ford. Just, Henry Ford.

Elon's technocratic nazi grandfather.

I would also like to remind everyone that fascism is simultaneously extremely dangerous but doomed to fail. That obsession for finding rigid rules where there aren't any, of constraining the real world to simplified models, makes fascists eventually lose touch with reality because they can't account for the messiness and human factor. At first they destroy everything they touch, kill anyone that doesn't fit the model. They then make fatal, obviously irrational mistakes like opening an Eastern front in Europe before tidying up the Western one because the Ideology says Bolsheviks are weak. Attacking the US in Hawaii. Not installing Lidar in supposedly self-driving cars. Invading Ukraine with an incompetent army and cardboard supplies against a dug-in western-supplied army.

It's not particularly helpful to the tens of millions killed by fascism yet, but at least we can rest assured that the fascist technosolutionists will lose and that plants will grow out of their corpse.

You might be interested in Zygmunt Bauman's analysis in his book Modernity and the Holocaust

From the linked wiki summary:

"Rather, he argued, the Holocaust should be seen as deeply connected to modernity and its order-making efforts. Procedural rationality, the division of labour into smaller and smaller tasks, the taxonomic categorisation of different species, and the tendency to view obedience to rules as morally good, all played their role in the Holocaust coming to pass."

A sociologist friend broke it down for me a long time ago, and, basically, rationalizing everything into a number helped to dehumanize people and paved the way for Nazi atrocities.

That said, I don't think "technology" on its own is fascist --- technology itself is dependent on how people use it, as others in this thread have pointed to the existence of FOSS as a foil to the use of technology as a method of control by those with power.

I don't think anything is black or white in programming (except booleans). And I'd say it can be very much emotional, it just depends on your goal and how you reach it. For me, I'd say programming is like painting or wood carving. It's a tool that can be used to create art.

He's unfortunate in general.

Yeah I thought the same which is why I felt compelled to post the link to his wiki page. He's a fatass in the Wikipedia page.

But they’d just put him back together again

I Ioved this game as a kid, such great memories

His family tree is a broom handle

Is this a reference to something?

I don't know if it's better or worse that they're so transparent with their goals.. being able to watch it unfold in slow motion is agonizing.

I literally just bought a trump bible off amazon to put at the front door for gestapo repellant. That's where I'm at with all this.

This show came on alongside another one called The Maxx which is also worth checking out.

If you enjoy that, check out MTV's The State. Be cautioned that the original broadcast eps had commercial music behind them that won't be there if someone ripped from DVD. So if there's bad music, that's why. You'll probably have to pirate them. A quick search didn't reveal quick hits on YouTube.

The monologues by Michael Ian Black are some of the best sketches. On Air Personality and Sleep with the State are especially good.

They miss the USA from before the 60s. The 1860s.

Pedophiles - driving the P in the GOP

Clinton and Gates also associated with Epstein... so did Chomsky.

We can drop the left right circle jerk... They all partied together because they rule US.
