    You are right that plenty of people have something to lose.We all do. We have more to lose if we rally behind sociopaths who hide in corners and make death threats,rather than those of us who work in the open, seeking solutions with incentives few have to resist except the state.

    @curtdoolittle @Imperius__13 @DSA_dienstmann Plenty of people have plenty to lose Curt especially in most Euro nations where the wrong word about the wrong group can land you in jail. Statements like these are powerfully bad takes.

    So getting rid of people that drive other than those ideas and behaviors that are required to go mainstream out of whatever group of people that CAN go mainstream. Lunatic fringe with daily rage problems that make death threats to near neighbors especially.

    @Aristomedes @Imperius__13 @DSA_dienstmann Look, lets say we have a chance. (we do) We have a chance to go mainstream. That chance is coming up pretty shortly. (it is) What we have is pretty shit leadership. (not that I want any part of it). And worse, we have some people extremely harmful to going mainstream.

    @curtdoolittle @Imperius__13 @DSA_dienstmann In fact this sort of dilemma is precisely what makes doxxing so dangerous, if someone in the wrong place were actually found out they could go to jail with the very Islamics they taunted & not make it out.

    I’m not part of the ‘alt-right’ and never was. I came out for the first time AGAINST it on The Right Stuff in what…’15?, and the alt right failed for the very reasons I said it would. Alt-Right == LARPers. Green frogs, memes, and armbands do not policy or power make.

    @Imperius__13 @Aristomedes @DSA_dienstmann Well, I’d have to take your word for it. Not that it’s worth anything. That said, I mean, the reason I’m making noise is precisely because the alt-right failed, right? Shot the wad and went down in flames. Doxxed, De-monetized, Silenced.

    We have an intellectual resistance out there. But it doesn’t include any alt right figures at all. I mean, who survived the purge? What did the alt right fail to do? Why? What does that mean for the chances of producing change?

    THE PROBLEM ISN”T TECH IT’S GOVERNMENT USURPATION OF JUDGEMENT OVER THE COMMONS

    —“Technology explodes the prevalence of externalities–not just the frequency, but also the variety. The faster the pace of technological evolution, the more urgent the need to develop better and better systems of accounting for externalities, and mechanisms for adequately imposing costs on those who generate them.”— Skinner Layne

    I would state it as wealth from technology makes it cheap to explore our differences and export externalities, for the simple reason that there is a delay between our development of any technology, the discovery of externalities, and the production of prohibitions on the actions that produce those (negative) externalities. And that the reason is government usurpation of our rights to use the courts to defend the commons as well as private and semi-private property. The wealthier we get the easier it is to use the courts and private interests to police innovations and externalities produced by them. The problem isn’t tech, or fear of tech, but that we have no systematic means of acting to constrain externalities in the commons because government has taken from us that role.
