Have you considered putting stacks of cheddar under your matress??🤔
“the problem is corporatism, not capitalism”
State and Rev is such a great text to show these people how Capitalism inevitably descends into "corporatism". It should be obvious to people that "rational self-interest" inevitably leads to those with more money to try to stack the deck in their favor because of course its in their interest to pull up the ladder, cheat, and loot everyone else.
Some people are literally a talking amalgamation of tens of thousands of often contradictory Reddit comments
A movement by annoying dorks, for annoying dorks
This seem a bit like throwing stones in a glass house.
We're a different, less verbose genus of dork, communist memes notwithstanding
What's he shooting a laser at? Partisanship? The environment? This is really embarrassing to look at
how am I supposed to want to buy this if there's no lion creaming its jorts
I remember like 2012 or so and reading something about technocults. As climate change increasingly broke the system, people would cling to a technological solution so hard that they'd form a machine cult to try and transcend reality. At the time I didn't know what that meant. Technology was just kind of the passive background line that goes upper.
Then came /r/futurology and the quest for immortality. Then came cryptocurrency recycling ecosystems into monopoly money that will solve capitalism. Then came Elon Musk nerds and treating billionaires like pharaohs. Each new wave of them became more and more absurd and more of a recuperative effort. The medical innovations of r/futurology were tangible, each new wave of techno-hopium was more abstract and based in spectacle. A decade later and it's this. They're spending thousands of dollars on cartoon animals in the hope that the Jungian archetype of a dumb guy and all of their favourite billionaires replace centuries of political philosophy with slogans. Yang is what it looks like when we're at the event horizon and reality is about to end. Beyond him the technocults will become wholly divorced from it like Qanon did with conspiracy prophesies.

They’re spending thousands of dollars on cartoon animals
Not even that. Its just code on the blockchain and not the "art" itself. They don't own shit :hahaha:

I call this "necessary evil" and an NFT is available for $200k. All proceeds will go to drugs.
Someone will PAY 6141 dollars for this NFT. It is not valuable in a normative sense.
I thought NFTs were just some dumb way to sell art, like "I think this art is worth this much, pay me and you can own it", but the fact there is a 2nd seller fee, so the original creator always gets a cut if it increases value really lays bare just how it's fucking scam.
What do you mean "this" NFT? Your pathetic replica of the real deal is laughably lackluster.
Who the hell are the people buying these anyway? Every NFT I've heard of has a ridiculous price tag that makes it seem like the only people who could possibly be into this "hobby" are millionaires. But it also seems like there are too many people into this for that to be the case. Are there really people out there spending significant portions of their life savings on a shitty jpeg?
well i just right clicked and saved it for nothing gg no re
Aight fuck it. I’m gonna grift nft dudes by drawing a waifu of Bitcoin or some shit
