Love it. Those hypocritical fucks will rue the day they fuck with Tux.

Sounds rational to me. I've also observed many who purport to "care so much", but it's really a veil to dodge accountability or otherwise manipulate or pull various social levers. I steer clear of those that are quick to play social games, including shame, to gain status or get their way.

I'll take rational, well-reasoned, and balanced empathy over manic, performative forms of "care" any day of the week. i.e.: It's nowhere near a simple binary, those that care and those that don't. Deceitful opportunists infect all demographics.

To usenet! Let's start a new world order.

mpd and wireguard do the trick for me, but I'm a simple man with a nice uplink.

These assholes sound like jihadists. I'll joke about whatever I damn well please. Jokes are not bullets; moral indignation is just self-serving pageantry. Buncha one-dimensional fuckwads they are.

I've used them for a few years now using my domain. It's no nonsense and well structured. Eventually, I'll just self-host, but this is a good option if you don't have a reliable means to host or just want to get your feet wet before fully self-hosting. The $20/yr plan has been perfectly adequate for my needs.

Right. I know his front-facing rhetoric is that "people need to have kids". But, I'd not take that as being pro population growth. He wants the 'right' people to have children, and for the riff-raff to die off to enable that utopian era of plenty.

In a sense, I actually agree with some of that in the context of ecological overshoot. But, his method, demeanor, et al make him a chud.

Elon is showing his degrowth boner. And, he'll stroke it out from the safety of his bunkers.

It should be and I think it just a matter of time before it becomes just that. Bread and circuses only works when people can afford the bread. The hungry will blame the clowns.

The tragedy of it all is that I suspect we'd agree on far more if we bridged the information divide. Yes, even the hateful bigots would eventually see the error of their ways given exposure to the populations they detest so. Every day, we use the very tool that could solve the problem, yet it winds up inflaming our insecurities and having the opposite effect.

And, I'm not going to throw up my hands and deflect with "it's just human nature." That's bullshit. We are constantly changing. Our nature and the influences that formed its current state can also change. Sadly, low information ideology and predatory bad actors, have proven to be a formidable clot.
