@DW2 Nobody forces you to live in the dangerous urban hellholes with rapidly deteriorating infrastructure. It's your choice. And you're whining about it.
@Moon@coolboymew On Fediverse, no less! Fortunately or unfortunately apparently he lost interest in Mastodon. I unsubscribed long ago, but I checked just now. His last post was 2 months ago.
I remember that I thought "Painters" was the point at which Graham jumped the shark with his essays. But I suspect that I was negatively biased by his claims that founders living in rat cages of San Francisco was necessary for startups. Unfortunately, at the time it looked like he was winning and I probably felt like being extra critical.
It all happened before the Wuhan Corona and the exodus from Frisco to Tahoe.
The sweetest part for me is, I knew a guy in 1998, Andy Banta, who lived in Tahoe. He commuted to work at Sun in MPK twice a week. Sun tolerated him because he was very good and we still had vestiges of meritocracy back then. Talk about being ahead of the curve.
@givenup@Curvin@coolboymew I love self-checkout, but of course the set of the population we all know and cannot name is there to ruin it for all of us.
@Moon@neopolitan@coolboymew What makes you think they don't realize this? They may cultivate a denial in order to maintain sanity, but they totally know how the machine works.
@Moon@lain@augustus Also, reading that post 1. Late 2022 and so much has changed already, although so little too 2. Is it just me or the style of the post reminds you of Mein Kampf (although in English)? Same rambling and and ellipses.
@ooignignoktoo@Bead@MeBigbrain@Nudhul@coolboymew He lived in a semi-decent area, too. The address was 12700 Mountain Rd NE (you can see the house address painted on the curb in TV footage). Just another old man who didn't know when to shut up online.
@ForbiddenDreamer@pogrommer Being literally commies was the main downfall of Nazis (and Fascists in general), and it dooms any re-enactment of ethnostate for Whites, as long as these types are in control. Note that interestingly enough, Israel remained a dusty, dirty Middle-Eastern backwater all the way from the independence through the 1980s. Yes, they won wars at that time, while staying a shithole. They only became a technological powerhouse and a civilized country when Likud came to power. This is a lesson of Jewish ethnostate that the enthusiasts of White ethnostate so far fail to learn -- and not only on Poast.
