  • It’s easy to assume that everyone that disagrees with us is stupid, but I can assure you that’s very much not true.

    I’ve seen otherwise very intelligent people lost down the rabbit hole of right-wing fuckbaggery. I think it’s often just a slow burn from social media. I saw a video earlier today about an ancient tool for spear throwing, and was immediately afterwards presented with a video about how the new Dragon Age game is ruined by DEI…

    And the saddest thing is, most people on the extremes have started at the same place: An unhappiness with their own life and a search for a solution. They’ve just ended up at vastly different positions, in that the right has chosen to blame the nebulous “others” below them, while the left has chosen to blame the “others” above them. And punching down is always an ugly look.







  • There’s been a two pronged assault on it over the years.

    Mostly from websites doing anything to spam up the results via SEO and mass produced articles about product recommendations, that are little more than the top 10 selling items of that type on Amazon along with affiliate links.

    But also from within as Google morphed from a search company to an advertising company. Especially once they reached peak saturation and that all important growth must continue. I just don’t think the capitalism machine works for these tech corporations once they reach the size of Google. How do you even grow from there? Enshittification and eating yourself is the only possible outcome.
