    Hanlons razor sucks and its no wonder everyone that’s operated it have caused harm to the people it was supposed to protect. Conspiracy theories have so much in common with witch hunts and lynch mobs than people with goofy beliefs. Theyre groups brought together by malice and only deserve the highest amount of scorn society can give them. They’re not stupid and theyre sure as hell not victims or worthy of empathy in any way













  • The big thing that web3(which includes the blockchain) represents to me is big tech’s magpie-like tendencies, an attraction to shiny and new things for the sake of them without any thought towards how it will bring value to the customer. Everything new has to be presented as big and inevitable as home computing was in the 80s. The problem though is that even if we give web3 the most generous bearth it is at best an iterative improvement that can only truly improve certain niches. And we’ve seen this toxic hype cycle with everything whether that be the cloud or VR/AR or even 3D Technology back in the day.







  • The source is me. I’ve been following through somethingawful’s buttcoin thread since 2011 and then on and off through political subreddits. One of the biggest things is that they HATED government-backed “fiat” currency and saw bitcoin as a replacement for the dollar (Even though bitcoin is also fiat and had notorious stealing issues and was just as unstable then as it is now)
