They got “The Very Best” of Silicon Valley inside DOGE. And … it’s besotted by our poor information environment and an unceasing, persistent sloppiness.

Remember this when you look up to these people. When you take their advice. What motives are really driving them? Do they truly understand what is Good?

Unfortunately the algorithmic feeds, narcotics, porn, and obesity have done their job over decades. Most people are too functionally stupid to engage with any writing at all. This type of critique is intellectual masturbation that makes me as a moralistic faggot clinging to her few remaining brain cells feel good. It's not effective persuasion of the masses that will engender change imo

we need more pragmatic criticism like this and less whining about “fascism”

I mean sure, but the authors of this publication are not shitlibs. They are fundamentally happy with the power grab in many ways. The point is more so about how ineffectively they are wielding the power now that it’s had.

its all a tasteless theather power grab obviously

I can accept that to a point and I think the authors of this piece can too. However once you move fast and break a thing I think you are supposed to reflect and learn from that, not let your mistakes persist ad infinitum
