    I get the vibe from a lot of these "my tech startup/cult is gonna stop AM/Skynet/SHODAN" types is the same as Theresa May trying to ban "encryption". They know enough about the pop culture around computers to know these words but not enough to know what they mean.

      Yes. The problem with Anglo countries is basically that they are liberal engineers lead by bourgeois lawyers. It's the difference between Peterson and Zizek.

        Boris Johnson yelling herd immunity at journalists asking why he hadn't listened to government medical advisors calling for lockdowns was a level of Dunning-Kruger effect beyond any I'd seen before.

          We elect literal morons and sex pests. Germany elects Merkel. India elects a fascist psychopath. He's got tomorrow coming. I'll ask my psychiatrist to analyse Modi and Abe. I know what she'll say. She's hot for her age btw. Losers hate her.

              For real. The absolute state of Germany. "Step on me DDR mommy" -- German liberals

              I'd literally let Ulrike Meinhof kill me lol. Fuck the West for locking her up. Impressive bodycount though. Probably fucked better than Merkel.
