"Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution."
Cool. We could change that by cutting off subsidy money to the K-Hole enjoyer then.

i cant believe theyre stealing the trans/queer culture of the cuddle puddle and making it techbro and unwholesome
NOOOOOO THOSE HOUSES ARE A SPECULATIVE ASSET WHICH IS WHY I NEED THAT MANY TIMES MORE HOUSES THAN HOMELESS PEOPLE
It's a tough competition but he really might the most repugnant creature alive
I'd say he has stiff competition, but benzos can really make that... hard.
Jeff Bezos is actually worse, he's just smart enough to know when to shut the fuck up
Lots of people are worse, but no-one else is quite as pathetic as Musk is
It's the same narcissist fascist vs competent fascist dynamic just at a different layer of the structure.
Probably following the same line of
thinking that lead that "maga communist" dork to claim that homeless people are the modern equivalent as the landlord class in revolutionary ChinaWas that related to the "teachers are the ruling class actually" Holden Caulfield-level take?
Being extremely
about an unhoused person asking for money and a teacher assigning homework are both super childish and goofy, so yeah, probably lol
drug zombies
Okay hear me out but I think that Elon Musk needs to be allowed to operate until he does create the Torment Nexus, because until we have a Torment Nexus I don't know how we can properly deal with him.
Didn't one weird trick temporarily stop his bullying shit when he was a kid and bullied another kid for having a dead parent?
Using the power of machine learning and advanced LIDAR sensors, we have developed an escalator that will keep the subject tumbling indefinitely
Oh god, at first glance it appears he's so close to realizing that yes, with every cent of increased funding it gets, the DEA directly makes drug addiction both more prevalent and deadly by artificially driving unregulated black market demand for insanely potent, synthetic mu-opioid agonists. Some of the newer RC opioids aren't even based on the structure of fentanyl anymore. When this happens, the drug grey market literally outpaces legislation until the DEA catches wind of things and schedules a defining member of the class.
Of course, this hypocritical piece of shit is actually talking about increased funding for aid directly to the homeless.
Serious question - who is Clay Shirky? Some "philosopher" type funded by a billionaire?
I tried to read his Wikipedia page but the text sounds like a moronic redditor trying very hard and failing to be clever...
Shirky asserts that collaborative crowdsourced work results from "a successful fusion of a plausible promise, an effective tool, and an acceptable bargain with the users." He states that the promise of what the user will get out of participating in a project leads to a person's desire to get involved.
Collaborators will then choose the best social networking tool to do the job. One that "must be designed to fit the job being done, and it must help people do something they actually want to do." The bargain, Shirky states, defines what collaborators expect from each other's participation in the project. Shirky's 'Promise, Tool, Bargain' premise restates aspects of the Uses and Gratifications Theory of mass media research.
Promise, Tool, Bargain
Sounds like a promise of bargain-grade tools all right.
I wonder if the page is TV Tropes-like death-by-hyperlink nonsense. "Uses and Gratifications Theory" is a 3,000 word Wikipedia page and I don't understand the point of the "theory"...
Uses and gratifications theory is a communication theory that describes the reasons and means by which people seek out media to meet specific needs.
Real "I'm not a professional quote maker or anything but in this moment I am euphoric" energy.
elon musk is literally some fallen demonic subhuman that the demiurge created as one of the main faces of the evil that is currently destroying the planet
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Why did he put homeless in scare quotes? Is there some kind of chud conspiracy that homeless people are actually just crisis actors?
Is there some kind of chud conspiracy that homeless people are actually just crisis actors?
Yes, exactly that. There's also an ancient chud meme that still goes around that panhandling is more profitable than most jobs.
It's a way to pretend people can't ever be actually poor and in need.
There's also an ancient chud meme that still goes around that panhandling is more profitable than most jobs.
To be fair this one does seem like a goal for capitalists.
Welcome back by the way.
The thing that shuts them up (at least in my experience) is to tell them to just quit their job and become homeless right now if it is so lucrative, they hem and haw about it and make a million excuses, but oddly never agree to do it, despite it apparently being a quick, easy path to success.
